1979 Ford Thunderbird

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

“Heritage is the most exclusive new Thunderbird you can own,” said Ford. The 1979 Thunderbird Heritage stood at the top of the Thunderbird range, representing Ford’s vision of personal luxury at the close of the 1970s. Distinguished by its long hood, formal roofline, and tasteful chrome accents, the Heritage combined elegant styling with premium comfort and refinement. Exclusive trim, upscale interior appointments, and attention to detail set it apart from lesser models.
