About this car

Gateway Classic Cars of Las Vegas presents this 1979 Ford Thunderbird, a classic example of late-1970s American personal luxury. Finished in a rich maroon exterior with a matching interior, this Thunderbird carries a bold, unified look that stands out with understated confidence. Step inside and you’re welcomed by a spacious cabin designed with comfort in mind. The plush seating and driver-oriented layout reflect an era when the journey was just as important as the destination, offering a relaxed and enjoyable driving environment. Under the hood, the original 351 cubic inch V8 provides smooth, steady power, paired with an automatic transmission for an easy, composed driving experience. Whether cruising through town or heading out on the highway, this Thunderbird delivers a ride that feels calm and controlled, with a subtle reminder of its V8 heritage. The 1979 model year marked a turning point for the Thunderbird, as it was the final year before the model moved to a smaller platform. Its long hood, distinctive grille, and flowing lines highlight the styling that defined the personal luxury coupes of its time, giving it a presence that continues to draw interest. Inside, the untouched maroon interior creates a warm, nostalgic atmosphere, complemented by wide windows that provide an open view of the road ahead. The cabin offers plenty of room to settle in and enjoy the drive, whether it’s a short trip around town or a longer cruise. This Thunderbird comes equipped with a sports dashboard, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, an AM/FM radio, a power antenna, and aluminum cast wheels, adding convenience and character to the overall driving experience.
