This stunning 1966 Ford Thunderbird Convertible, representing the attractive fourth generation, has undergone a meticulous restoration, showcasing a captivating finish in the original Ford Emberglow Metallic complemented by a Parchment/Palomino interior.
Its features include a power retractable convertible top, a swing-away steering wheel, a chrome remote side view mirror for the driver, a day/night rearview mirror, power door locks, a factory gauge cluster with a 120 MPH scrolling speedometer, factory back up lights, and operational factory sequential rear turn signal indicators.
With only 5,049 convertibles produced, this final year model of the classic Thunderbird Convertible stands as a rare gem. The car is in impeccable condition, demonstrating not only aesthetic appeal but also functionality.
Under the hood, the rebuilt factory 390 4V 315hp engine with a 10:1 Compression Ratio operates smoothly, delivering ample power and acceleration. The Cruise-O-Matic shifting is precise, and the 3.00 rear-end ensures effortless highway driving. Numerous components, including the cooling and charging systems, hoses, belts, power steering, and power brakes with front discs, have been replaced or rebuilt, rendering the car reliable and easy to drive.
The suspension, fitted with new ball joints, is both firm and smooth, and the steering and braking systems operate like new. Recent upgrades include new Coker whitewall steel-belted radials, contributing to an enjoyable driving experience.
The car boasts a factory-quality repaint in Ford Emberglow Metallic, extending to all jambs, under the trunk lid, and the entire engine compartment. It remains rust-free, and the chrome and trim are in outstanding condition. The brand-new retractable hide-away convertible top system has been meticulously rebuilt, including relays, solenoids, motor, and pump, all functioning flawlessly.
Inside, the Parchment and Palomino interior exudes elegance and comfort. The swing-away steering wheel and neutral safety switch have been restored to their original functionality. The dash is free from cracks and remains superb. An aftermarket vintage-style radio with an auxiliary option has been added for modern convenience. While the heater and defroster units work well, the motor emits a slight noise.
This Thunderbird Convertible represents an exceptional investment, with considerable resources invested in its restoration. It is poised to provide years of exhilarating driving pleasure for its fortunate new owner.
