Vehicle Description
Q-code... for cars it means the ultimate sleeper, and so this 1966
Ford Thunderbird convertible might just be the ultimate Q-ship
Q-code. After all, it has a terrific vintage look, rare color
combo, and a loaded interior that make this an awesome classic even
before you see the ultra-desirable 428 big block under the
hood.
This drop-top has a first impression of pure sophistication. The
factory-correct Silver Rose was given a later respray to make sure
it has an appealing metallic glow in the sunshine. If you've never
seen this color before, it's likely because it was only offered for
one year and exclusive to T-Bird and Lincolns. This connection
seems right because this was the era when the Thunderbird really
looked like Lincoln had made them with the way the front bumper
follows the contour of the angular nose, and the rear one surrounds
the wide emblem tail lights. And the burgundy convertible top
against the special paint color is pure first-class. There are even
more great details, like the fender-mounted turn indicators, rear
fender skirts, and the sequential rear turn signals. And yes, those
are genuine Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels. So this one is impressive
well before you look under the hood.
As much as this one looks great with the top in place, you'll
really want to open this one up to the world. And when you do, you
still have the awesome look of burgundy thanks to the full interior
package. This was all about providing individual luxury, and so
everyone has their own bucket seat. There are good comfort features
like power windows, a power top, a retro-style AM/FM/cassette
stereo, and provisions for R134a air conditioning (it will need
servicing to blow cold again.) And when you only have one
passenger, this one comes with a special aftermarket Sports Tonneau
that covers the rear with flowing buttress headrests. And no matter
how many people are along for the ride, this T-bird always gives
priority to the driver. That's why the dash and center console are
a seamless design focused around you. Your seat individually power
adjusts, and the dual-spoke steering wheel is not only on Ford's
cool swing-away mount, but it also gives you a fantastic view of
the space-age gauges.
This is the kind of engine bay you'll love showing off because a
proper Q-code T-bird means Ford's mighty 428 cubic-inch V8. It has
a tidy style of good maintenance. So it's a strong-runner that
inhales deeply through the four-barrel carburetor. The dual exhaust
lets the V8 exhale with dignified authority, and that's the theme
for the whole feeling on the road. The three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, power brakes, and front discs make
this a smooth and authoritative classic.
This rare color T-Bird is a stunner in style and delivers its big
power so smoothly that you'll happily show it off as you drive it
near or far. So if you want a classic with premium distinction, you
know you can't let this one slip away. Call today!!!
