That original leather is still present today, and while the photos don’t provide a great overview, it does appear to be in excellent condition. The good doctor really knew what he wanted from his Thunderbird, so he decided to order the car complete with leather upholstery. The exterior trim and chrome are in beautiful condition, while the original tinted glass also looks to be free of faults or problems. There might be a few minor chips and nicks on the paintwork, but given the incredible shine and reflection of that black paint, it is hard to be completely sure. The car has never suffered any accident damage or rust repairs. The Raven Black acrylic that graces the car is completely original. Don’t for one moment think that the Ford has undergone any form of restoration. Now the time has come for the family to let it go. His daughter inherited the car and has kept it meticulously maintained ever since.

That car was a Raven Black Thunderbird, which he cherished and cared for over many decades, right up until he passed away. A young doctor had just moved to Denver to establish a new practice and decided to buy the car of his dreams. The story of this car is a truly great one and is a testament to the original owner’s love for this car.

Located in Denver, Colorado, the asking price for this classic Ford has been set at $70,000, but this is negotiable. The family has now decided to part with their beloved T-bird, and have listed it for sale here at Hemmings. What this car represents is a much-loved and cherished survivor that has remained in the same family since the day that it rolled out of the new car showroom in 1960. This 1960 Ford Thunderbird 352 Special is not a “time capsule,” and to describe it as one would be to do it an injustice.
