Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is thrilled to present another great quality
offering, this 1966 Ford Thunderbird Convertible. The 4th
generation Thunderbird was a bit of a departure that the "Square
Birds" of the late 50's and early 60's. The cars were lower,
sleeker and took on the futuristic look that so many manufacturers
were looking for. The Thunderbird remained Fords personal luxury
vehicle, the cars were all highly optioned and the interiors were
comfortable as well as very stylish featuring 4 place seating,
bright accents, the signature "Swing-A-Way" steering wheel and many
power features.
The 1966 Ford Thunderbird is a lovely example that retains much
originality. The car was originally purchased in Grand Rapids, MI
and was originally kept at a seasonal residence along the Lake
Michigan shore. The car is believed to have had only 3 owners with
the car remaining in the same collection for the past 15 years. The
car has been repainted in its original factory color Wimbledon
White 20 plus years ago with the paint showing excellent. The car
features fender skirts, excellent trim and bright work, signature
original wheel covers and fully retractable hide-a-way convertible
top. The interior remains excellent and is said to and appears to
be original. The seats and door panels remain in wonderful
condition, the linear tracking speedometer works well, the "bubble"
style gauges all appear to function as well as the interior
illumination. The engine compartment houses its 390 CID 4bbl
engine. The motor shows excellent and is detailed. The painted
areas are very clean and appear to be factory paint and the vin
number is clearly visible stamped in the core support as well as
the cowl.
The underside is original and the body has never been taken off of
the frame. It shows some expected age but remains very good and
very solid all around.
Other highlights include: Power steering, power disc (front)
brakes, power top that works well, power windows, console, original
swing steering wheel, excellent bright work, etc. This 66
Thunderbird Convertible is an impressive driver that is stylish and
reliable. It tracks down the road very nice, the engine is strong
and the Ford Cruise-o-matic tranny shifts smoothly. This T-bird
offers a most excellent open air cruising experience.
The Ford Thunderbird remains an automotive icon in all of its
forms. This 4th generation example is considered the most elegant 4
seater example built. This white on white example is well received
in any automotive arena and a quality car such as this will always
remain in global demand.
