Ford Galaxie, Thunderbird 1958-72 market review
When new, Thunderbirds didn’t compete directly with muscle cars like the Pontiac GTO or Plymouth Road Runner but today they offer similar performance with more luxury and for a lot less money.
Bulky 1961-66 Thunderbirds still crack 16 seconds for 0-400 metres and you can get them LHD for under $20,000.
The shape and concept of the T-Bird changed in 1967 and these massive cars with 7.0-litre engines will only set you back $15,000 or so.
Two-door Galaxies weren’t sold here as new cars and certainly not with optional 7.0-litre V8s suited to NASCAR ovals. 390-engined cars are cheap but according to US sites you will need $75,000 for a 427-engined car.
