1964 Ford Thunderbird

Classic Car Addict is proud to present this beautiful, original 1964 Ford Thunderbird for sale in our Mesa, Arizona showroom. By the time the fourth-generation Ford Thunderbird appeared for 1964, the Thunderbird design studio had a firm grasp of what their customers liked and didn't like. Since the “banana-nose” design of the Bullet Birds hadn't gone over well, Bill Boyer and his team revisited some earlier styling themes for its 1964 successor. The Bullet Bird's unloved recessed headlights, tail fins, and dog-dish taillights were all removed.
The fourth generation Thunderbird is known as the “flair bird”. This T-bird has just a little over 26K miles (since engine and transmission rebuild) with its factory coat of paint. Consignor has plenty of receipts/documents for repairs, so this is a great driver and even better survivor vehicle. There are some scratches and a few dings, but you can get in and drive this car.
Inside, the cabin takes you back to past, with sleek lines, smooth panels, and a mix of shiny polished aluminum panels for the doors. Finished in red crinkle vinyl, the front seats are a low back bomber buckets; drivers' side does show wear. Turning to the dash, all the modern stops were pulled out for this instrument cluster which includes a rolling line speedometer indicator, and 4 round ball like gauges in deep round bezels stretching across the bottom of the speedo. The original red steering wheel, smudged and discolored with time, fronts the dash, and has the shifter in tree for the automatic transmission. A curved line stretches from door to door, and melts into a center console with plenty more of polished and brushed aluminum. This part houses a radio, heater controls and the power window and door lock toggles. Also, a large glovebox is between the buckets. In back a wonderful wrap around rear seat with folding armrest, and side molded into the curve armrests are seen.
The body is finished in what is the original Wimbledon White basecoat/clearcoat Urethane. After a recent buff and wax, the T-Bird looks AMAZING! And we aren't just saying that because we brought it back to life. We love the dual different size headlights, it takes on a “mad” look with the lines of the hood, almost like someone is scowling at you. The panels are straight and have nicely managed gaps throughout. The rear bumper has dual horizontal housing taillights with bird badges in the center. Please look thoroughly through the photos, there are some imperfections in the paint that they did try and touch up.
Underneath the hood is the numbers matching engine in 390ci form, and it's backed up by the 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic transmission. A Holley 4-barrel carburetor is atop, and this engine specs out showing it will produce 300hp. The Thunderbird rolls on BF Goodrich Revelation Touring tires, all four are 215/75R15's. The consignor has provided us with recent and old receipts for services that were done.
