Which Ford Thunderbird is the most collectible?
Quick Answer
The 1955-1957 two-seat Thunderbird is the most collectible, and the 1957 F-code with the supercharged 312 V8 is the prize. After the two-seaters, the 1958-1960 Square Bird and the 1961-1963 Bullet Bird (especially Sports Roadster and M-code cars) lead collector demand.
Thunderbird collectibility tracks the early, design-led years.
The top tier
- 1955-1957 two-seater: the icon; the 1957 F-code supercharged car is the blue-chip.
- 1958-1960 Square Bird: the first four-seat personal-luxury T-bird.
- 1961-1963 Bullet Bird: jet-age styling, the Sports Roadster and M-code tri-power are the picks.
The value years
The 1964-1966 cars (last convertible until 2002) and the big 1967-1976 cars are more affordable cruisers.
