1964 Ford Thunderbird
Convertible
Vehicle Identification Number 4Y85Z127543
390cid V-8 engine
3-speed Cruise-O-Matic transmission
Long-term ownership
Offered at no reserve
Ford introduced fresh styling for the Thunderbird in 1964 that was
crisper and more formal than ever before. All versions were powered
by a 390ci V-8 engine that produced 300 bhp, which allowed the
vehicle to accelerate from 0-60 mph in under 11 seconds. Power was
transmitted through a Cruise-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission
with front disc brakes available as an option. A true icon, this
version of the Thunderbird featured prominently in several film
classics, including Thelma and Louise, The
Outsiders and Wild at Heart. With only
9,198 examples built during the inaugural year for the
fourth-generation T-Bird, this is a true rarity that is destined to
appreciate in the future.
The Motorcar Offered
This red convertible has been owned by the same family since the
early 1990s and was used as often as the weather permitted. It was
repainted while in their custody and a new convertible top was
procured, but never installed. An excellent candidate for a full
restoration or use as weathered weekend driver with some deferred
maintenance, it features the original white interior and solid body
panels. With some engine work completed only five years ago, this
is a running and driveable example of one of the most desirable
T-Birds built.
Estimate: $5,000-7,000
