Ford's fourth generation Thunderbird, known as the 'Jet Bird', arrived in 1964, retaining the same unitary platform as before but featuring dramatic new styling
Under the bonnet was a 390-cid V8 delivering 300bhp with Cruise-O-Matic transmission whilst power steering and brakes were also standard
The interior was remarkable with the driver surrounded by levers, buttons, dials and a swing-away retractable steering wheel behind which were a row of 'jet fighter' style pods relaying separate bits of information
Imported from the US in 2020, this two-door Hardtop is finished in Wimbledon White with a classic 'Jet Bird' black vinyl interior and a full interior headlining
The engine bay has been reconditioned and the susbstantial boot interior upgraded with a new 'trunk trim kit'
We understand that the T-bird drives beautifully, the engine pulls really well and it sounds phenomenal
An important member of Ford's back catalogue, an authentic and original car sold as a very useable daily classic - one to tick off the bucket list
