GarageScout Take

The former Harrah’s Auto Collection and National Automobile Museum history is the real separator, with mileage below the middle for the generation and an exterior colour uncommon among observed examples.

Strengths

Harrah’s Auto Collection and National Automobile Museum provenance.
Seller ownership since June 2021, with documentation covering that period.
Factory data plate provides the Thunderbird’s original production and sales details.
Binder of documentation and an Antique-branded South Carolina title accompany the car.

Watch For

Originally specified in Thunderbird Blue, the car was refinished red before 1973; bodywork included welded replacement metal patches.
Cracked paint is reported on the front of the hood.
A seam on the back of the driver-seat bottom has separated.
The data plate has been painted over, and the South Carolina title carries “Exempt” and “Antique” brands.
