1960 Ford Thunderbird T Bird Convertible 430 engine in Red & Ride on My Car Story with Lou Costabile

On "My Car Story" we're in the West Suburbs of Chicago IL on 9-17-20.

We're looking at a 1960 Ford Thunderbird Convertible in Montecarlo Red Paint. The car comes with the upgrade optional factory 430 CI V8 engine producing 350 HP.

The car's Owner is Dennis Roxworthy. Dennis’s had this car since 1986. He shares his Father had a Thunderbird when he started driving, his Brother had one, and when he drove the car it always made him feel “special” so he bought one, and we get to ride in this one and feel “special” too.

ENJOY!

All it needs is Elvis, a surf board, a guitar, and some leggy starlets on an ocean beach. I was just a little kid but I remember these beauties well. Those tail lights are iconic.

From 1955 until 1971, the T-Bird occupied an exalted and unique position in the Ford lineup.

Lou, the more of these you can showcase, the better.

Now THAT'S an American car. In a stunning color combo too. Granted, quality control wasn't a big deal in the 60's and it was rare if all the power options all worked at any given time, but it was so pretty, nobody cared.

If I could have one car in the whole world this would be the one. What a beauty.

She is a beauty guys!Love those square birds, and that body style!One of my favorite colors too!Great presentation Lou!!!

Such a classic T-Bird! The package as a whole is awesome, but my favorite aspect of this generation of the Thunderbirds are the taillights. They always reminded me of jet propulsion taking off down the runway. Gee, I winder why? LOL!! The coming of the jet age. Thanks Lou & Dennis for a great Saturday morning treat!

Love the "Square 'Birds! In college in suburban Youngstown late 60s worked for a small car lot. Had a 58 'Bird as a driver for my tasks. it was a gold convertible. Very fun car. Looking back. we had so many awesome "common" cars through the lot during my time there until graduation. Often wished now for a Jay Leno sized aircraft hangar to have saved them in. Hindsight of course. We just never guessed what we had into the future. Glad this video showed up in my random views!👍👍

Magnificent. Fabulous line and length.

I love Dennis Lou! He is Ford blue through and through and though I am not in position $$ to own all these wonderful Fords I get to enjoy them vicariously through Dennis thanks to you!
I have been a fan of yours since the early days and meeting the Great My car Story legend is on my bucket list.
Lou last March I had quadruple bypass at 65 yrs old. Well I have new life thanks to my Lord Jesus and have never felt better! Maybe I'll run into at one of the big car shows and tell you thanks in person.
Blessings Rob

My goodness! A Double J Square 'Bird, with a convertible top, too? Mr. Roxworthy continues to impress! And what a nice day for a little cruise. Thanks for taking us along, Lou.
