Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Orlando is proud to present this 1973 Ford Thunderbird. Through the mid century era Ford's Thunderbird was a longstanding leader in the personal luxury coupe segment. These sixth generation Thunderbirds (1972-76) were the largest and heaviest Thunderbirds ever built by Ford, with a curb weight of almost 4500lbs. With a total length of 225 inches you will see the sun move west in the sky just walking from the trunk to the engine compartment! This Thunderbird looks like it was reserved for a movie star with its white paint job and Brown vinyl top. Under the hood of this big bird is the optional big motor: a 460 Cubic Inch V8! This torque monster is paired to a 3 speed automatic so just imagine how this car can get up and go or cruise serenely down the highway. The interior is a real 70s throwback with super classy brown vinyl upholstery that coddles back seat and front seat passengers alike. If you're looking for an unapologetic statement of a vehicle, this is the one you want to own! Options include Air Conditioning, AM/FM Radio, Cruise Control, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Windows, power locks, vinyl interior and radial tires. This is a very composed car to drive with almost as many creature comforts as a modern car and it makes you feel like you own the road compared with all the compact cars most people drive today. This is the one you want to own.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
