1959 Ford Thunderbird for sale
Current customer rating:
() based on 39 votes
This 1959 Ford Thunderbird is part of the distinctive second-generation that are larger, more powerful, and more detailed than the first-gen cars. So this one really takes that feeling to heart. It's a bold V8 cruiser that can turn heads, and it's offered at a price that won't break the bank.
Colonial White is an elegant color and it also provides a great canvas to show off all the details of this coupe. Those huge dipping fenders, intricate trunk panel, rear fender skirts, and the twin afterburner tail lamps are all part of a unique total package. And all the important brightwork is complete. From the huge front bumper with integrated grille, to the intricate dual hood ornaments, to the form-fitting rear bumper - all of this makes for a desirable collectible. But what we probably like the best is how this one thoughtfully amplifies the attention to its stylish lines. The Thunderbird logo has always had a nice pastel color for distinction. This one uses that as a base to kick-off a full custom pinstripe package that shows off the hood, trunk, and hardtop. And we especially like the stripes running along the side of the body. It allows everyone to fully appreciate some of the best items the designers formed into the sheet metal. You see it in the crease that runs from headlights to tail light, and the tailfin that slowly tapers until it reaches the door handle. This is pure rolling style.
The creamy white of the outside is continued inside, and the pastels of the pinstripe feel like a preview of the teal they used throughout the interior. It makes for a stylish and thoughtful total package inside and out. As Ford's personal luxury offering, there is plenty of individual room for four people. But even when it's just you out for a solo drive, you'll appreciate the way the front bucket seats and full center console make this a cruiser just for you. There are nice details, like the working AM radio, working dome lights, and a full trunk mat to showcase how the stand-up full-size spare barely takes up any space in the massive cargo area. There are even provisions for factory air conditioning.
Under the hood is a proper 352 cubic-inch V8 with a four-barrel carburetor on top. It has a nice look in the engine bay as the forward-tilting hood gives way to a black and white contrast with the addition of bold blue drawing your attention to the motor. This V8 is larger than anything offered in the first-generation Thunderbird, and so this big block V8 has the right power and torque to confidently move this coupe. On the road, the dual exhaust gives a hint at the power under the hood, but the T-bird never loses its premium composure. It floats down the boulevard as a true vintage luxury coupe should. This is aided by the right features such as the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and modern cruising tires.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, maintenance records, and service manuals. You may use the extra money from the affordable price to leave room in your budget to make improvements like freshen up the paint or turn the factory A/C into a modern cold-blowing unit. But overall, this is an attractive package for being a distinctive coupe with plenty of cruising power. So if you want to own the road, call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES: A documentation fee of $299 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.

If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
