Notable additions to the 1965 Thunderbird included the famous sequential turn signals and also front disk brakes. The standard engine for this fourth generation was the 390-CID V8. This generation saw an end to the convertible body set-up, which was not on offer for generations five through ten.

The car in question comes from the fourth generation (1964-66), labelled the “Flair Bird” according to Hemmings. These last T-Birds ran from 2002-05, available only in two-seater configuration with a removable hardtop. One final go came in the form of an eleventh-generation retro-bird, the car which arguably began the practice of creating modern lookalikes of cherished marques. The ones on the car look good, but are old.Īfter a 1955 launch, the Thunderbird proceeded through eleven generations, with a gap between the last two of these as the tenth-gen car (1989-97) ended consecutive production. It has been on the road for club cruises and show duty of late.

From that point, you might even be able to drive the car home. You can make it yours by coming up with $24,500 and responding to the ad here on craigslist. Tipmaster TJ is who we have to thank for the heads-up on this car. Living in Bellevue, Washington for years after an earlier tenure in Tacoma, this 1965 Ford Thunderbird is refreshed and ready for someone new to love it.
