1978 Ford Thunderbird Diamond Jubilee Edition

This Canadian-market 1978 Ford Thunderbird Diamond Jubilee Edition is finished in Diamond Blue Metallic (code 3E) with matching blue vinyl roof, featuring opera windows, hideaway headlights, cornering lights, dual side mirrors, bright trim, and 15″ alloy wheels with blue accents and Cooper Trendsetter SE tires (mounted 2020) — a limited commemorative package celebrating Ford’s 75th anniversary with unique badging and trim. Power-assisted front disc/rear drum brakes and power steering provide easy handling; exterior shows excellent low-mileage preservation with minor age patina on trim.

The 400ci V8 (166 hp, 319 lb-ft) delivers smooth, torquey cruising power through three-speed automatic to rear wheels. Carburetor rebuilt, radiator, thermostat, fuel pump/filter/sending unit, spark plugs/wires replaced in November 2020; shocks and brakes serviced; A/C converted to R134a in 2020.

Blue velour trims power-adjustable driver’s seat and rear bench, with AM/FM stereo, power windows/locks, air conditioning, and tilt steering column framing an 180-km/h speedometer, tachometer, clock, and auxiliary gauges. Spacious cabin is well-preserved as a near time-capsule.

Ultra-low-mileage survivor with original-owner care until 2019, acquired by dealer in 2025, manufacturer’s literature, service records, and clean Louisiana title. Desirable Diamond Jubilee example of late-1970s personal luxury — rare, comfortable, and ideal for collectors seeking originality, bold style, and effortless drivability.
