Also, in the picture below it appears the car has a plug for an engine block heater which is typically found in colder climates. I’m making an assumption here that it is originally a Canadian car and the odometer is showing kilometers. He mentions that the car has a little over 61,000 miles, but the odometer is reading “01173”. The car is currently in Canada, but the seller doesn’t mention if the original owner resided in Canada. Maybe our Canadian readers can help me out here before I assume too much.

The car was judged second best in a Thunderbird show this past summer. Accessories such as air conditioning, power windows, power seats, and AM/FM radio are all working.
1979 thunderbird heritage plus#
The seller bought this car from the original owner in 2017 and changed the belts, hoses, and fluids plus did a brake job on the car when purchased. The standard engine in the Heritage was a 255 cubic inch V-8, but this one has the optional 302 cubic inch V-8. In 1994 the original owner had a stroke and the car was driven very little after that time. One reason may be little exposure to the sun due to the car being stored in underground parking from 1994 to 2017. The interior appears to be in excellent condition. Three options this Heritage does have are leather seats, flip-up sunroof, and two-tone paint. The Heritage is the top of the line Thunderbird with so much standard, there are few options left to check. This 1981 Ford Thunderbird Heritage is for sale here on eBay in Surrey, British Columbia. I very seriously contemplated trading my 1978 Thunderbird for a new 1982 Thunderbird, but I was about to be married in a couple of months and decided it was not the best choice at the time. I was a new owner of the previous more popular generation of Thunderbird (1977-1979), but I still liked these. I'll make the car available to anyone who may want an inspection service check the car.Just like Rodney Dangerfield, the Fairmont based Thunderbirds of 1980-1982 didn’t get much respect. I haven't had that done since they're minor and don't really show.Īnyone is welcome to come test drive the car prior to the auction ending. There are three small door dings in the car that could be removed by a pointless dent remover. I have all documentation for the car, including the window sticker, purchase documents and a complete owner history. The car has been garaged it's whole life thus the tires don't have any dry rot or cracking. They're older but they're in great shape. This car doesn't need any mechanical work at all. All fluids are fresh and the car has had a recent tune up. The car runs and drives and brakes great. the air conditioning is still R12 and it blows nice and cold. The windows, door locks, cruise, power moonroof all work like new.

All power accessories work as they should except the clock. The vinyl top is in like new condition as is the interior and the leather dash. This car retains it's original paint which is in great condition.

There were a small number that were built late in the year in white with blue or red interior and top. Most Heritages for 1979 were burgundy or light blue. This is a rare 1979 Thunderbird Heritage.
