Vehicle Description
This 1964 Ford Thunderbird might just be the most affordable way to
take home a comfortable cruiser that also turns heads the moment it
leaves the garage. In fact, with a cool color, V8 power, and
ice-cold A/C, and this is a classic coupe that you can enjoy any
day of the week.
A bright T-bird from this generation is the perfect blend of
aggression and elegance. After all, items like the shark-like nose
and hood scoop artfully blend with the fender skirts and formal
hardtop for a terrific total presentation. We especially like the
gold-like glow of the factory-correct Florentine Green - and '64
was the only year it was offered. The chrome bumpers are some of
the best integrated forms ever put on a vehicle. The front has a
swoopy design that frames the headlights and surrounds the grille.
In the rear, it's a mirror-like endcap for one of the most
interesting trunk lines to ever hit the road. And the smooth and
bright Ford wheel covers with whitewalls only increases the
attention this coupe commands.
Personal luxury really meant something in 1964, and so everyone
gets a bucket seat (and the driver's power adjusts, too.) The
factory-correct black looks nice against the exterior color and all
that bright trim inside. A center console was standard equipment,
and the way the trim is laid out reminds us all the driver is king.
This also includes controls for the power windows, power locks,
AM/FM radio, and air conditioning. They all have a classic feel in
this highly original-style interior, and it's all working nicely.
More of this time capsule feel is in the gauges have that 60s-cool
setup that is so intricate that we know no factory would ever dare
try in modern times. The ribbon-style speedometer sits on top, and
four fashionable individual round pods finish the gauge
package.
The big block 390 cubic-inch V8 was the only motor available in
'64, and that's because it had the horsepower and torque to keep
everyone happy. This one has been treated to the right maintenance.
So more than just the bright blue on the air topper and valve
covers, you have newer pieces like the alternator, A/C lines, plug
wires, belts, and more. The V8 inhales deeply with an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor. It makes nice sound out of the dual exhaust
- it's not like a muscle car, but instead, a confident and mature
rumble. Plus, a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering,
and power brakes make this coupe an easy cruiser.
Thunderbirds have always represented style, but this one also
presents good value for a feature-filled classic driver. Don't miss
