For Sale: 1966 Ford Thunderbird in O'Fallon, Illinois

Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is proud to feature this absolutely beautiful 1966 Ford Thunderbird for sale on consignment in our Arizona showroom, located in North Phoenix. Wow! This one really makes heads turn. Ford's Thunderbird started out as an American imitation of European sporty styling but by the 1960's luxury-loaded, Jet Age inspired T-Birds like this one hit showroom floors. 1966 models can be distinguished by the refreshed "egg crate" grille and connected rear taillights. We might as well start with the most desirable component on this Candy Apple Red 1966 Ford; the 428 CID V8 with 4bbl carburetor under the hood that was an option for that year and provided around 345hp from the factory. This vehicle was fully restored in 1998 incorporating the numbers matching engine and 3-speed automatic transmission (according to the seller), and it shows! The interior on this Thunderbird is a fantastic feat of automotive design. Red vinyl seating for five is comfortable and stylish. The swing-away steering column allows for easy entrance and exit from the vehicle, and the ribbon-type horizontal speedometer is very unique. Round gauges for fuel level, water temperature, oil pressure and voltage keep you informed and there's plenty of entertainment to choose from with the 8-Track player/radio. Power windows provide convenience, air conditioning offers comfort and the driver seat can be adjusted to the perfect position with power controls. Just in case you were wondering exactly now nice this car is, we have judging papers from the Vintage Thunderbird Club that gave it a 295� out of 300 meaning this '66 has minor flaws at the very most. We even have a copy of the original sales invoice from Coberly Ford in Los Angeles, California. If you're looking for a car that's truly a work of art as well as a collector, look no further! I for one can't wait to see the look on the face of whoever has the privilege of owning this gem next. Could it be you??
