Details

This Thunderbird convertible has less than 150 miles on its full rotisserie restoration to original specifications. It rides on upgraded Kelsey Hayes wire wheels with red/white line tires that were only ever offered on 1965 and 1966 Thunderbirds. The exterior is finished in Patrician Green base coat / clear coat paint with Corinthian White leather interior seats and door panels and Patrician Green carpet. The radio has been upgraded to a modern AM/FM stereo receiver with a retro look. Its original 390ci engine has been completely rebuilt as well as its original Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. The fuel and brake systems are new and/or rebuilt. The original cruise control is non-working. Completed in the summer of 2015, the restoration on this T-Bird included an engine and transmission rebuild, complete brake system rebuild with DOT-5 silicone fluid, master cylinder, booster and wheel cylinders with new brake lines, and a rebuilt fuel system including tank, carburetor, fuel pump and lines. It also included all-new weatherstripping throughout, complete new interior including the door panels, seats and carpet, a reclining passenger seat with adjustable headrest, new correct trunk interior, a new black Stay-Fast soft-top, five new period-correct red and white striped tires and new Thunderbird wire wheels, a new exhaust, and new chrome throughout. An all-new convertible operating system pump, relays and limit switches were installed. It features sequential turn signals, power steering brakes and windows, swing-away steering wheel, a new AM/FM replica radio, power antenna, and air conditioning. This T-Bird is ready to be driven and enjoyed.
