Some invasive rust has taken over the secondary mufflers in the way back of this car, although the remainder of the H pipe exhaust is surface rusted but no holes, as are the primary mufflers.
There is a 650cfm Holley 4 barrel on top, which is not original but certainly gives it wings! On the back a C6 3-speed automatic transmission to float you down the highway, and a Ford 9-inch 3.00 gear rear axle saves you gas while floating. It sports a blue block and blue valve coverings. Under the hood is a wonderfully preserved and highly detailed 390ci V8. Also, the landau bars make a cameo appearance framing the rear courtesy lights in back above the rear bench. Nice black carpeting for the floors, and a textured black vinyl headliner is tight above. All seats are excellent and original, as the slide to the side steering wheel and column are all original. In back is a rounded similarly styled rear bench with a central armrest. The dash has 4 deep inset round gauges lining up along the driver's side then some futuristic temp/wiper washer sliders. For the console more brushed aluminum and black molded plastic as it rises to the dash. These chairs have tuck and roll in seats and smooth bolsters. Inside a seamless console races through the back vinyl buckets in low back form. The T Birds of yore are famous for utilizing a band of brushed or machined aluminum that starts on the door panels and runs through the dash, and this car uses a satin finished brushed aluminum which runs through the doors with black vinyl uppers and armrest, and a band of black carpeting below. Turbine style wheel coverings have faux knockoff hubs and thin whitewalls on all 4 corners of this neat design car. A nice slowly curing downward rear deck meets up with a horizontal rear deck panel that houses sequential taillights, emulating the front with the wide mouth design. This 4-door version has suicide doors for the rear openings. On top is a Cayman grain vinyl top in black and it sports landau bars on the rear pillars. There are nice trimmings around the glass and a stainless rocker graces the line from the front bumper and stretches the length of the car. All straight steel panels are bathed in factory Medium Palomino Metallic. A long sleek T bird badge is in the center. A curved upward on the edge bumper below is nice and shiny, and the curved down on the edges hood meet at the front quarter panel beginnings. This example is in original condition, nicely preserved with sequential taillights, hidden headlights that actually un hide, disc brakes for the front, and suicide rear doors sharing a common B pillar.įor the front grille design think largemouth bass with its wide mouth egg crate grille with hidden headlights covered in the egg crate to create the illusion that there are no headlights. That and the survival rate of these cars is low due to rust issues. Among the least appreciated Thunderbird generations is the 1966–71 car, affectionately, (or maybe sarcastically), referred to as the “Glamour Bird.”įor consignment something not oft seen, possibly due to its obscurity in the lineup of Bird designs. The car took on many guises over half a century, with “Baby Birds” (1955–57), “Square Birds” (1958–60), “Bullet Birds” (1961–63), and even “Super Birds” (1989–97).
