Its previous owner donated it to a charity that has listed it for sale here on eBay. Our feature car is from that final year of production. Not only were its body lines sharper and more square (hence the “Square Bird” moniker), but the T-Bird had morphed from a two-seater to a four-seat luxury car built between 19. Jasmin says his goal is to get the car back to its original factory specifications.The Second Generation Ford Thunderbird marked a radical departure from the styling and engineering of its predecessor. But little by little, the issues are being addressed. When he takes the T-Bird to a golf resort in the area and hands the keys over to a valet, the crew parks it right out front in the most prominent place with the likes of Ferraris and Lamborghinis. With 78,000 miles on the clicker, the T-Bird needed some work. One bonus comes when he tries to park it. "When my relatives come to visit, we pile in and have a good time in the California sunshine," Jasmin says. The four seats and convertible roof make it the perfect car for touring.
Jasmin bought the car from a prominent San Diego restorer who had used it as a personal car. Jasmin had orginally gone looking for the more popular 1957 model but found it has "too many issues." The 1960 retains all the T-Bird appeal with a bit more sophistication. In any case, the 1960 Ford Thunderbird that Larry Jasmin of Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., was showing here recently is one honey of a convertible. Maybe it's the Beechwood Brown metallic paint.
