Yesterday a new find to further confirm the car is THE car. We ripped out the interior for reupholstery, including the carpet. Underneath the carpet in the trunk was a letter made out to my father-in-law dated the year he sold the car!

Thats a pretty rad story!! It's always cool to see how these things can come full circle. A little bit of perseverance, and a lot of patience go a long way. Congrats to you and your husband on bringing the car back into the family!

Congratulations on recovering your '60 TBird. I took ownership of my parents '60 TBird after my father died in 1967. It was stored in our barn for 20-25 years until my son voluntered to restore it if I would bank roll it. I agreed and he returned it to us several years later and many $$$ later. We have since joined several TBird clubs and had it judged three times over the years (First Place each time). The color of your car looks like it's Palm Springs Rose, which was the original color of mine. Enjoy your family find!!! Congratulations.

The 1960 T-bird is one of the most fantastic cars ever made, it was the result of ford trying to correct the two seat car that was ok however a family could not ride together. They are a design that for the first time held for 3 years with almost no change. If you notice the 1960 was the third and final chapter in the square bird line. As a result if you notice ever trim part is in 3's Three lights in the back, three hash marks on the quarter panel. There are three bars in the front grill. If you look close there are a couple more things in three. We had one when I was a kid actually we had 3 a black 59, a red and white 60. That was my favorite and a white 58 parts car. I have a replica of the red and white one only it's baby blue 50's style and very cool. Enjoy yours it looks great!

Thanks for the comments! We are counting the days until she comes back with new interior. Now to come up with a good name for her.................

Welcome Home 60 T Bird!

The one good thing about our hobby we can work on our old cars at our pace. Since they are no longer a daily ride in most cases. We get to take our time searching for parts or funds to get it done the way we want.
