The 4th generation Thunderbirds lasted from 1964 to 1966 and were
personal luxury cars. They had a much more sporty look than the
square birds from the 50's but still retained a lot of that vintage
chrome styling. This clean 65 Thunderbird is a nice 2 door hardtop
that is mostly original. It has had 1 repaint in the Blue and White
color combination that really looks great on the car. These cars
had a ton of chrome up front with a large bumper and grill set up
which has been entirely rechromed. The back has a ton of chrome as
well and is unique in that the entire rear section is made up of a
single chrome piece. All of the original style trim pieces and
emblems are there including that classic T bird logo on the nose.
Original wheels and hubcaps sit under all four corners of the car
and are wrapped with thin white wall tires.
Pop the hood and you will be greeted with the original 390 V8
motor. Everything has that factory look being mostly painted in
Gold or Black. The 4 barrel carburetor has been rebuilt and a new
battery just installed. The motor runs strong with no smoking or
issues. It is backed by an automatic transmission and stock rear
end. Being a luxury car the car came packed with all of the power
options available in its day like power disc brakes and power
steering.
It also has AC and some of the coolest features the car has are
found on the inside. Having trouble squeezing into the driver seat
because of the steering wheel? Well, Ford incorporated a swing away
column in these cars so it can be pushed out of the way when
entering or getting out of the car. Features like that are very
cool to see and are always a great conversation piece at shows. The
dash on these cars always stand out and this one is no different.
It even has the original ribbon speedometer. The upholstery work is
done in all White and is in good condition. It complements the
White hardtop nicely. It has bucket seats up front which are
separated by the original console. The trunk of the car is nicely
finished out as well with the original style mat, jack, lug wrench
and a matching spare.
This TBird has a great look and a lot of unique features you don't
see on every old car.
