NEW CANVAS POWER TOP WITH “BACKUP” / FAILSAFE SYSTEM INSTALLED IN CENTER CONSOLE. ALL GLASS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND ALL POWER WINDOWS WORK GREAT. CHROME WORK IS IN GREAT SHAPE ALTHOUGH SOME MINOR PITTING / AGE DOES SHOW ON WINDOW TRIM / BUMBERS. ALMOST EVERYTHING MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL AND HYDRAULIC WAS GONE THROUGH, RESTORED OR UPDATED !! THE PAINT AND BODY ARE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND SHOW WORTHY ( OUTSIDE OF A COUPLE OF VERY MINOR CHIPS DUE TO DRIVING TO SHOWS ). THE PAINT THAT WAS ON THE CAR WAS A SHADE DARKER THAN THE CORRECT CASPIAN BLUE, SO THE ENTIRE CAR WAS RE-PAINTED THE CORRECT COLOR. BECAUSE OF THE OWNER BEING A PERFECTIONIST- HE DECIDED TO GO TO A SHOP THAT SPECIALIZED IN THUNDERBIRDS FOR A CORRECT “BODY ON” RESTORATION. BECAUSE OF A COMMON PROBLEM ACCOCIATED WITH THE LINKAGE IN THE STEERING COLUMN- THE ACCIDENTALLY SHIFTED IN REVERSE AND DAMAGED THE LEFT REAR QUARTER PANEL. BOUGHT JUST FOR A COOL CRUISER ON SUNNY DAYS AND CAR SHOWS… SADLY, NOT LONG AFTER IT WAS BOUGHT, THE OWNER STARTED THE CAR AND LEFT IT RUNNING IN HIS BROTHERS DRIVEWAY AS HE WENT TO SAY GOODBYE TO HIS FAMILY. What’s more, they have also enabled the Make Offer option, which means that interested customers should contact the seller with other offers, and who knows, maybe they end up getting their hands on this beautiful barn find.1965 FORD THUNDERBIRD CONVERTIBLE THIS AMAZING THUNDERBIRD WAS BOUGHT BY ITS CURRENT OWNER A LITTLE OVER DECADE AGO. The good news is the car seems to be coming at a fair price, as the seller is willing to let it go for $4,400. But on the other hand, this shouldn’t be too difficult to fix anyway, and given everything is still there, preparing the T-Bird for the road shouldn’t require anything else than minor TLC. The seller explains that the 390 under the hood starts, runs, and drives properly, though you shouldn’t consider the car road-worthy because the starter remains engaged. The metal is therefore in very good condition, though a repaint is going to be required, as the current finish does show its age already. While the car clearly requires a full restoration, it still comes in a rather solid shape, with the rust not representing a major concern this time. This classic 1965 Thunderbird that eBay seller dotwkg claims they’ve discovered in a barn is a testament to the fourth generation, and the most surprising thing about it is the current condition. The sales then went down significantly a year later to about 75,000 cars before declining even more to 69,000 units in 1966. This generation, however, also offered more powerful options in the form of 428 (7.0-liter) V8s, this time with the power rating increased to 345 horsepower.ġ964 was the best model year for this T-Bird generation, as Ford ended up producing close to 92,500 units.
