lets talk about this little jem for a while,, tom (Turbocoupe50) knows about this.
I'd hit that!!
Any other pics or angles?
That is an incredible car, it was restored a few years back in a fabulous fords magazine article. I think it ended up selling at Barrett Jackson. I believe it was called the Italien.
Wow never seen that before, very cool. That timeframe was a very good era for Ford styling, IMO. The only other years of T-bird I would consider owning are the early to mid-60's "bullet birds". I love the early to mid-60's Fairlanes and Comets too.
In order to "talk" about something it helps to have something more than just a single photo that has been posted across several forums and web pages..... :D
A quick Google search will find you what the OP didn't take the time to put in the first post.

Personally it is far from my tastes, but that is the beauty of having so many choices! :D
Another one Ford shoulda built!!
I like it. I always thought the boxy roofs they put on those cars looked a little out of place.
There are couple videos on youtube. Just type "thunderbird italien" to the search bar...
Just out of curiosity, what am I assuming? :D
