The cars continued to be powered by Ford’s 300 hp version of the 390 cubic-inch V8 and 3-speed automatic transmission was standard equipment. The fourth generation was built in 1964, 1965, and 1966 and had a more squared-off appearance, which was mostly evident when viewing the car from the side or rear. This makes it one of Ford’s most enduring nameplates. The Thunderbird is a personal luxury car that had a storied and varied run at Ford between 1955-97 and again from 2002-05 through 11 distinct generations. It’s available here on eBay for as little as $17,000 (if no more than one bid is cast). Located in Las Vegas, this car has been partially restored but still needs a new convertible top. Though there were rumors to the contrary, there were no 2-seat T-Bird Sports Roadsters after ’63, but this drop-top looks stunning nonetheless. They would be more formal-looking cars, including the seller’s ’64 convertible. In any case, I'll go back and hit the car for what I can and list it here before anyplace else, with a HAMB deal price.Despite their cool looks, the 1961-63 Thunderbirds did not sell as well as Ford had hoped, so the cars were redesigned in 1964-66. At least anything else that has power windows those get all the use and get broken the most. I would imagine if it's there, if they had one, the 4-spot power window switch the driver usually has at his disposal is worth getting too. The only bright side is I've seen stuff sit here for over a year, they had two late Corvairs I picked stuff off from in fall 2009 that were still there in November and finally gone this time around.Īfter the 80 billion screws holding that rear seat in taken out by hand because I didn't have a cordless drill with me, I can probably manage the power window gears, as long as you can pull them from a dead car - not allowed to put a battery on them to take that stuff apart. A shame, really, the car is straight and solid otherwise, but the state's gotten fussy with the VINs so once it's in and the number turned over, that's it. Not as bad as the one '85 Camaro I looked in, that had no floorpan at all, but pretty weak. Not sure what to think on the seat motor, it looks okay, but the left rear floor was weak enough I was afraid my foot would go right through.
Not sure how good it will be - they tossed two transmissions in the car with the right bucket kind of on top of them, so there might be some damage to the right rear of it. I figured all of them did, though, or at least all the ones with the bucket seat interior.
