1966 FORD THUNDERBIRD Hardtop NO RESERVE !!!because I believe a classic vehicle is worth as much as the next caretaker is willing to pay! This a "turn key" and "drive anywhere" THUNDERBIRD that is numbers matching and well documented. This is truly one of the most reliable vehicles in my collection. Starts with ease and never smokes or drinks. She glides down the road at 65+ without any issues. Some consider the 1966 BIRD "the last of the real THUNDERBIRDS". The only reason I am selling is because I have ran out of room for all my toys, so its time to find a new caretaker for the BIRD. KNOWN VEHICLE HISTORY BORN - May 6, 1966 in Wixom, Michigan (documented by dealer original invoice)SOLD - July 23, 1966 by Vanpool Burton Motor Co. in Wheeler, Texas to Ben Riley of OKC, OK (documented by original warranty card plate)1982 - 2011 Owned by two different T-Bird collectors in Oklahoma.
