Vehicle Description
1966 Ford Thunderbird Red With White Landau Top
Why This Car Is Special
Ford's Thunderbird went through a lot of changes through the years.
From the small birds of the 50s to the Super and Turbo Coupes of
the 80s. They have filled every need, be it a sports car, muscle
car or luxury vehicle, and they have done it all well.
The 1966 Ford Thunderbird we have here at Skyway Classics is a much
larger, higher optioned big block cruiser than its predecessors
ever were and looks fantastic with its red over red and white
Landau top configuration.
Mechanical
Ours has the 300 horsepower 390 cubic inch big block V8 engine
under the hood and is backed by an automatic transmission shifted
on the column. This Thunderbird has a very clean engine compartment
with the engine wearing the factory Ford Blue paint on its air
cleaner assembly, valve covers, and expansion tank, as well as
having a lot of features like power steering and power brakes.
It starts, runs, and drives like new and is visually in the state
that it left the factory in.
Interior
Ours has a bright and vivid red leather interior featuring dual
front red leather bucket seats with an overhead and floor center
console, red door panels, full red matching red leather wrap around
backseats that always make these mid-sixties Thunderbirds a crowd
favorite.
It has the iconic swing-away steering column with a sporty factory
wood steering wheel, power locks, factory AM push-button radio,
full factory gauge cluster with wood grain insets, red carpet and
black/red/white floor mats, as well as miles of chrome trim that is
in excellent condition everywhere you look.
These cars are comfortable and incredibly stylish on the inside and
were way ahead of their time.
Exterior
The Bullet Thunderbird, as they were known, is a streamlined
aerodynamic car that is painted in a delightful color scheme of red
with its white Landau top and chrome emblems.
It is a large car, but the sharp edges and long low body make it
look like it's moving, even when sitting still.
This Ford has white wall tires on the red painted factory steel
wheels with factory Thunderbird deluxe hub caps that give it an
upscale look. The red paint is in great shape, as is the chrome,
trim and top.
Conclusion
The 1966 Ford Thunderbird we have here at Skyway Classics represent
a style from the sixties that you can no longer get from modern
cars, long low, sleek, muscular, and luxurious, all in a 2-seat
luxury sports car.
These Thunderbirds don't last long on the market and this one will
be no exception. If you're looking for a mid-sixties T-bird to call
your own, give this car a close look.
