The 1960 Ford Thunderbird represents the final year of Ford's iconic second-generation Squarebird design, a model that brought luxury, style, and performance together in a beautifully proportioned personal coupe. This stunning example has been the recipient of a thorough restoration, transforming it into a striking black-on-black presentation while retaining the timeless elegance that made the Thunderbird a standout of the era. With its sleek lines, wraparound windshield, sculpted bodywork, and signature Thunderbird styling cues, this hardtop offers a refined classic look with plenty of curb appeal.
Under the hood, this Thunderbird is powered by its desirable 352ci Thunderbird Special V8, equipped with a 4-barrel carburetor and rated at 300 horsepower when new. Paired with a column-shifted Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this combination delivers the effortless cruising experience that defined Ford's flagship personal luxury car. Additional upgrades, including Wilwood front disc brakes and a dual exhaust system, enhance both drivability and confidence while preserving the character of this classic Ford.
The exterior has been beautifully refinished in a timeless Black finish, replacing the car's original Palm Springs Rose color listed on the factory data plate. The restored appearance is complemented by American Racing wheels, giving the Thunderbird a tasteful custom touch while maintaining its classic proportions. Power steering, power brakes, and power windows add to the car's comfort and usability, making it equally enjoyable on local cruises or longer weekend drives. Inside, the Thunderbird features a striking black and white vinyl interior that showcases the luxury-focused design of Ford's premier coupe. The spacious cabin, wraparound dashboard, and period-correct details provide an authentic 1960s driving environment, while the combination of style and convenience reflects why the Thunderbird became such an influential American icon.
According to the data plate, this Thunderbird was originally assembled at Ford's Wixom, Michigan plant as a 2-door hardtop and equipped with the 352ci/300hp 4-barrel V8, Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, and 3.10:1 axle ratio. With its impressive restoration, desirable drivetrain, upgraded braking system, and unmistakable Squarebird styling, this 1960 Ford Thunderbird is a standout example of Ford's golden-era luxury coupes and a wonderful addition for any collector seeking a stylish and enjoyable classic.

Garage Kept Motors, LLC specializes in classic and specialty online auto sales.
For our consignors, we are the only auto brokers that offer a Transparent Sale Disclosure. This means, when a car sells, we provide an exact copy of the Bill of Sale. We do this so our clients know exactly who bought their car, where it went, and most importantly how much we sold it for. No funny business.
For our buyers, our vehicles are listed on the Internet, with over 100 photos, including undercarriage pictures, and walk-around videos of the vehicles running plus a narrative-style write-up of the cars history and features. Our international exposure allows us to sell cars across the globe, and we sell a majority of them out of state and overseas. We deliver honesty and consistency in our photos and descriptions, a “no surprise” approach, so buyers, both near and far, can invest with confidence sight unseen. We are not a gallery. Vehicles can be seen locally by appointment as potential buyers are given our undivided attention.
