true survivor Florentine Green 1964 Ford Thunderbird convertible.
This car is a mostly un-restored original classic and an original
Z-code T-Bird with the 390 CID V-8. It was one of the few American
produced automobiles to offer a steering column that slides left or
right to ease vehicle ingress and egress. Made in Wixom, Michigan
on March 24, 1964, this car was shipped to the Newark, New Jersey
area, (DSO code 15). Presented in Florentine Green, it was one of a
handful of Thunderbird-only colors and only available from the
factory in 1964. The original paint is in decent shape, with only
minor blemishes visible on close examination. The body panels are
straight and the front and rear chrome bumpers fit well and finish
is good. The front grille is in very good condition showing only
minor signs of wear. The contrasting black vinyl power top is in
good shape. The headlights with bezels and taillights are in very
condition with no hazing or cracks and the taillights and reverse
lamps are in similar condition. This Thunderbird has an attractive
period correct presence with this one year-only color. Inside, the
original gold vinyl bucket seats look good, as do the carpet,
dashboard, two-spoke steering wheel, door panels, mirrors, center
console and shifter. The gold door panels complement the seats and
dashboard and are designed to mirror the mid-century modern cabin
motif. The factory carpet is complete and complements the rest of
the interior. Driver assist features are power steering, power
brakes and power windows and power seat. The gauges are displayed
properly and function as designed. The factory AM radio completes
the interior. This Thunderbird is equipped with a rarely seen
Z-code 300-horsepower 390 CID V-8 engine, fed by a Ford four-barrel
carburetor� The power is transferred to the rear wheels by a
Cruise-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission with a 3:00-1
ratio rear differential. Factory dual exhausts, Lemans wide
whitewall tires surrounding 15-inch original steel wheels with full
Thunderbird wheel covers, spinner caps and exterior matching rear
fender skirts, complete the look. For 1964, the Thunderbird was
restyled in favor of a more squared-off appearance, which became
known as the Squarebird, and was most evident when viewing the car
from the side or rear. As in previous years, the new Thunderbird
continued to be offered in hardtop, convertible and Landau
versions. Thunderbirds created a market niche that eventually grew
and became known as the�personal luxury car segment. Competing
vehicles to this Thunderbird in 1964 include the Chevrolet Corvette
Convertible, Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu convertible, the Aston
Martin DB5 Convertible, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce, the
Austin-Healey 3000 Mark III Sports Convertible and the
Mercedes-Benz 230 SL convertible. This Thunderbird convertible is
perfect for a quick trip to the local ice cream parlor with the
grandkids in the back seat or for a day trip. You will gets lots of
looks from other drivers and pedestrians. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!
