Very attractive forth generation 1966 Ford Thunderbird Convertible beautifully refinished in factory Ford Emberglow Metallic with a Parchment/Palomino interior. Nicely equipped with power retractable convertible top, swing-away steering wheel, driver's chrome remote side view exterior mirror, day/night rearview mirror, power door locks, factory gauge cluster with a 120 MPH scrolling speedometer, factory back up lights and working factory sequential rear turn signal indicators. Only 5,049 convertibles produced making this last year of the classic Thunderbird Convertible a rare bird. A few years and a few hundred miles ago it's original owner recommissioned T-Birds West of Corvallis Oregon to perform a comprehensive engine-out mechanical and cosmetic restoration. The car is in beautiful condition. Unfortunately, it's original owner passed away nearing its completion. The second owner continued to restore rendering this special Thunderbird in the lovely, excellent condition it is now.
The car starts; runs and drives beautifully. The rebuilt factory 390 4V 315hp with 10:1 Compression Ratio engine purrs quietly with plenty of power and acceleration. The Cruise-O-Matic shifting is spot-on, and the 3.00 rear-end provides the car with easy freeway-speed driving. Most ancillary items have been replaced or rebuilt including cooling and charging systems, hoses, belts, power steering, power brakes with discs up-front, etc. The car is reliable and easy to drive. The suspension is tight and smooth with new ball joints and the steering and braking function as-new. The tires were replaced with new Coker whitewall steel-belted radials. It truly is great to drive.
