In 1978, Ford offered the "Diamond Jubilee Edition" Thunderbird to commemorate the company's 75th year as an auto manufacturer. This option package escalated the price of the car to almost US$12,000, virtually doubling the base price. Naturally, it included every option available except for a moonroof and an engine block heater. It was originally available in only two colors- Diamond Jubilee exclusive "diamond blue" metallic, or "standard issue" ember metallic; both with matching velour cloth seats with a "biscuit" design. The 1978 year T-Bird became the best selling Thunderbird of all time. It was the first to run in Nascar events as Bobby Allison, Dick Brooks, and Jody Roker all drove T-Birds..
As you may or may not notice from pictures the sun has weathered the clear coat and landau top on the top areas of the car (roof, hood, trunk) but the paint on sides of car look great, easy replace and repaint will make this beauty look brand new. This is a great simple restoration project when complete could fetch 5,000-8,500.
