Notably, the current owner has upgraded the electric windows, adding a modern touch of convenience.

Engine

While its counterpart, the Ford Mustang, was engineered for high-speed thrills, the Ford Thunderbird was designed with a focus on cruising comfort. However, this doesn't imply a lack of performance. Lift the hood of the 1965 Ford Thunderbird Landau restoration, and you'll be greeted by a substantial 390 cubic inch V8 powerplant that perfectly complements the car's stature and character. The current owner affirms the presence of a new engine, boasting a mere 2,000 miles of use, along with recent enhancements such as an oil change and a new battery to ensure optimal performance.
