This 1964 Ford Thunderbird Landau coupe is powered by a 390ci V8 mated to a Cruise-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission and is finished in turquoise over blue vinyl upholstery. Equipment includes a black vinyl-covered Landau hardtop roof, 15″ steel wheels with covers, quad headlights, rear fender skirts, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, a power-adjustable driver seat, a curved rear bench, power windows, a swing-away steering wheel, an AM radio, and SelectAire air conditioning. The car was sold on BaT in June 2021 and relocated to Maryland, where it was recently acquired by the selling dealer. This Thunderbird is now offered at no reserve with a shop manual, spare parts, and a clean Maryland title.
The car left the factory finished in Brittany Blue (Q), and was repainted its current shade of turquoise during prior ownership. Features include a black vinyl-covered Landau hardtop roof with chrome Landau bars, a wrap-around chrome-finished front bumper, quad headlights, gun-sight front turn signals, and a chrome pinched-loop-style rear bumper. Photos showing a dent in the front grille surround, corrosion above the driver-side fender skirt, and bubbling along the base of the Landau top are included in the gallery.
The 15″ steel wheels are fitted with covers and mounted with 215/75 Cooper Trendsetter SE thin-whitewall tires. The car came equipped from the factory with power steering, and braking is provided by power-assisted drum brakes at each corner.
The shell-contour front bucket seats and curved rear bench are upholstered in Light Blue Metallic vinyl with Dark Blue appointments (52), while simulated wood trim accents the console, instrument panel, door panels, and rear quarter trim panels. Amenities include a power-adjustable driver seat, front and rear center armrests, an analog clock, power windows, an AM radio, front lap belts, and SelectAire air conditioning. The stitching is torn on the top corner of the driver’s seat, and corrosion is evident along the bottom of the doors.
A faux-wood-rimmed steering wheel is mounted to a swing-away column and sits ahead of a horizontal-sweep 120-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 57k miles.
The 390ci V8 was factory rated at 300 horsepower and 427 lb-ft of torque. A Holley Street Warrior four-barrel carburetor has been fitted, and an oil change was recently performed.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Cruise-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission that was rebuilt in 2022.
