The Mustang had an advantage in that it was substantially cheaper. Like the Thunderbird, the Mustang was also a two-door coupe/convertible with two rows of seating. However, the introduction of the Ford Mustang in early 1964 had created a challenge to the Thunderbird’s market positioning for it. From 1958 to 1966, the Thunderbird had remained fundamentally the same in concept as a sporty two-door coupe/convertible with two rows of seating. The Thunderbird’s fifth-generation brought the second major change in the car’s design direction since its debut in 1955. Consequently, we’re awarding the seller our latest “NEW!” (short for “No Effin Way!) Award for their optimistic pricing. Similarly, the Collector Car Market Review Online Tool reveals the seller’s ask is $4,500 above this guide’s #1 “Excellent” appraisal of only $14,300.

This 1970 Ford Thunderbird Landau Sedan originally listed in January 2022 on Craigslist in Allison Park, Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh) appears to be an all-original 35.3K mile survivor complete with its factory 8-Track tape player and a white leather interior.Ĭurrently listed for $18,800, comparing that price against the Hagerty Insurance Online Valuation Tool confirms the private seller has their Glamour Bird price two thousand dollars above this guide’s #1 “Concours” appraisal of $16,800. Nine years later, Ford repeated that success when it added a four-door hardtop version to the fifth-generation “Glamour Bird” line launched in 1967. When Ford launched the four-seat Thunderbird in 1958, fans of the original ’55-’57 “Baby Bird” scoffed, however, the increase in sales spoke themselves. We commend the seller and have removed our “NEW! Award title for their car. I have lowered the price to reflect current market prices.” Sure enough, when we checked the listing, the seller had just reduced their asking price by five thousand dollars to accurately reflect the likely sale price of this rare Thunderbird.
