Brief History About Ford's Legendary Thunderbird Model:
The newly revised fourth generation Thunderbird hit the streets in
1964 showcasing crisper body lines, squaring off at the fenders at
the front and rear. It maintained the quad headlights and wheelbase
of the previous design, along with, similar grill and bumpers. The
popular sequential rear turn signals were incorporated in 1965,
made even more famous as an attribute on Carol Shelby's GT
Mustangs. Also new for 1965 were standard power front disc brakes
aiding in superior stopping power. The final year of this
generation came about in 1966, with a full revision of the front
grill, introduction of the single blade style front bumper, and a
unique full length rear taillight panel. It would also be the last
year you could own a Thunderbird Convertible until the retroversion
designed for 2002, and the first year you can order the larger
428ci V8 under the hood! This new 7.0L FE big block produced 345
horsepower/462 lb. ft. of torque with 10.5:1 compression and Holley
carburetion, all backed by the durable C6 3-speed automatic
transmission and 9" rear end with 31-spline axles! Only 5,049
convertibles would be produced in 1966, with fewer packing the
428ci power plant, making this particular "America's Personal
Luxury Car" from Ford a rare commodity to have in any
collection!
