This 3 Day auction is for a special 1964 Thunderbird convertible – a wolf in sheep's clothing. On the outside it’s a beautiful, stock 1964 Thunderbird. But under the stock skin it’s a tiger. Its 390 ci performance has been upped to 400HP from the stock 300HP. To handle this power the front brakes have been upgrade to disks from the original drums, a C6 transmission installed and over-sized stabilizer bars front and rear. It has had an extensive amount of restoration and rebuild over the last 4000 miles – see below.
