1966 Ford Thunderbird

The Ford motor company introduced the Thunderbird in 1955 and continued over the course of eleven-model generations through 2005. It created a market niche that was brand new to the automotive scene and eventually was marketed and known as the personal luxury car. The fourth generation like the car we are offering here was built from 1964-1966. As before it was offered in hardtop, convertible and landau versions. The standard engine was the 390 cubic inch V8 offering 300 HP and was paired to a 3-speed automatic transmission. Only in 1966 was an optional 428 cubic inch V8 producing 345 HP offered for this generation.

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1966 Ford Thunderbird town hardtop coming in a very nicely and recently done Candyapple Red. The interior is in the classic white vinyl with black accents, while all of the features of the original T-Bird are there this one does have some pieces that need some attention. While the headlights, windows, mirrors and latches on the hood and trunk, as well as the tires and wheels are in great shape not to mention the body of the car looks terrific. There are a few minor issues that need to be addressed, but the car still fires up and drives great! The engine in is the larger optional for the time 7.0 428ci V8 with the Ford C6 3-speed automatic. This is a fantastic running and looking Thunderbird and with just a little bit of love, this can be brought back to all of its glory and fame that comes along with the namesake!
