The dealership where we found “ !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ” didn’t just have Ferraris, Bentleys, and Lamborghinis. Out back, they also had this, which puts all the new supercars to shame. It looked to have been fully restored, because it was in perfect shape and drop dead gorgeous. Apparently, even at ten grand apiece, Ford MoCo lost money on all 3000. Indeed, they are rare and sought after cars. Which makes the fact that I found two more later that day, sitting in so-so shape under an awning, even more incredible.

Ah gotcha, is there a link to see the car’s price?

Nope. I didn’t get the impression that it was for sale.

Is there a site for all their classic cars? Or are they being stored there?

No clue. But it had no dealer plates and is not listed on their site.

My uncle had a Mark II. I loved that car. He also had 5,6,7 T-Birds. He also had a set of hammer formed, front fenders from the 55 T-Bird before it even went into concept.

Oh, you meant the two on the bottom. I don’t know, I can’t remember the name of the dealership. Let me check.

Most of the cars looked much rougher IRL than in the pictures, like they’d been stored outside for too long.

This is definitely in the top ten cars of the 50s. Hell, maybe even in the top ten of all post war cars.
They are astoundingly gorgeous.

I would honestly put it in the top 5 American cars ever made.
