That's a crime. A very rare 'Bird. I guess he doesn't own a hose.

Excellent Presentation! Come look at the car before bidding,but bring your hazmat gear!! Maybe he's selling it to pay for a new water well on the farm.

I can't understand why he wouldn't wash it for the ad.

To me it seems that 745 stick shift 60 T-Birds is a high number. That is almost as many 58 Golden Hawks that Studebaker produced.

Avian flu, junta virus and who knows what other hazards go with the car. I wonder how much it would cost to do a "Lark shine" on that baby?

745 might be right, Lenny: The Standard Catalog of American Cars says 92,798 1960 Thunderbirds were made, with straight three-speed as the base transmission and overdrive(!) as one of the options, although virtually all had automatics, of course.

745 is barely .8% (eight tenths of one percent) of the total 92,798, so the 745 is believable as a percentage of the total produced, especially if it is standard and overdrive cars combined, and it probably is.

You're right; it would be a high gross number for Studebaker, though! [:0] BP

Yeah, you're right Bob. I am always thinking in the Studebaker perspective. I always think it is funny at car shows when a Chevy guy says that his car is one of only 2,000 that were made with his options!
