IS PROUD TO PRESENT... A BEAUTIFUL 1965 FORD THUNDERBIRD CONVERTIBLE!!! Are you looking for a stone solid V8 convertible that’s ready for cruising? How about one with some of the best styling cues to come from Detroit in the ‘60s? Worried about ruining your “good” car by pouring on some miles? Consider the Big Bad Bird shown here: 390ci PowerAir Conditioning Power WindowsPower SteeringPower SeatPower Disc Brakes Power Top (New)New CarpetLow 22,000 Undocumented Miles Runs & Drives Great Etc., Etc., Etc!All of this makes this "Jet Bird" a high-value super cruiser! Let's get the bad stuff out of the way: Body Has Some Minor Chips & ScratchesPaint Has Some "Runs" & Is Not the Original Color Interior Is Original with a Slight Tear in the Rear Seat Several Small Cracks In Dash While Solid, Chassis Needs TLCThere are Several Small Spots Where Body Filler was UsedTitle & Odometer Will Read Aprox. 22,000 Miles But Who KnowsWhile Engine Gaskets were Recently Replaced there is some Leakgage See Pics for All ImperfectionsDriver, Not Show Quality Call Me With Questions! The Good News Is That These Issues Just Might Make This Classic Bird Affordable! Featuring a super low and long profile restrained trim, aerodynamics were definitely a strong styling cue from the smooth grille to the full width "Jet Exhaust” taillights. Let’s start underneath on this beauty. Those are all original, panels from nose to tail! There’s no rot or serious issues that will prevent you from enjoying this car for years to come – not too many nearly 50 year old cars can claim that! Whatever steering and brake components needed to be changed were done so as to make for comfortable and worry free cruising. The transmission (Power Glide) shifts smoothly and the axle does its job without complaint. The suspension, as it was when new, is still one of the most isolated rides on the road! Although not present with this car, the best looking configuration for the third generation ‘bird has to be with the top down and the speedster tonneau in place. Dropped from assembly line production for 1964, the option was popular enough for Ford to offer the cover through the parts department. It took the already long deck and extended it all the way to the backs of the front seats, making it look like a sleek two seater. The cover can be readily purchased here on Ebay and stays in place with the top up or down, so there’s no cumbersome install procedure to follow every time you want to drive the car! The 390 rumbles under the hood, topped with a 4 barrel carb and a fresh tune up. Power steering makes the car maneuverable and power disc brakes bring it to a quick halt. Inside, original parts abound. Tilt-away steering makes entrance easier, a power seat makes sure you’re in the right position to drive and the jet fighter cockpit is just plain cool to look at! Piles of stainless trim accent the panels, seats and carpet perfectly. The coolest part of the interior: Green 3D gauges in the dash that light up brightly at night – I’m not sure if they’re from our space program or another planet! While the paint is mediocre at best, the T-Bird Red is a classic color, especially paired with the White interior, and it just exudes sporty class. Of course, helping that out in a big way is a set of relatively new P215/75×15 "Double Eagle Wide White Wall tires at all four corners! Ready to take off in a car that’s perfect for someone looking for a cool driver? Enjoy it as is, and tinker with it to make it sharper! It’s hard to find a car in this condition: A real runner with great bones and TONS of potential! Hop on board the Jet-Aged styling and motor off!
