Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1966 Ford Thunderbird is finished in Vintage Burgundy, a rich period-correct color that complements the Thunderbird's long, sculpted body lines and chrome accents. A white convertible soft top provides a striking contrast to the exterior and transforms the car into an open-air grand tourer at the touch of a button. Chrome trim, turbine-inspired wheel covers, and Thunderbird's distinctive front grille complete a design that remains instantly recognizable nearly six decades later. The interior of this 1966 Ford Thunderbird is upholstered in red leather, creating a luxurious cabin that reflects the upscale character of Ford's flagship personal luxury car. A Swing-Away steering wheel makes entering and exiting the driver's seat remarkably easy, while power windows, power steering, and factory air conditioning provide conveniences that were considered premium features in the mid-1960s. The center console, aircraft-inspired instrument panel, and elegant trim further reinforce the Thunderbird's reputation as a comfortable and sophisticated grand touring convertible.
Engine
Under the hood sits Ford's dependable 390ci V8, equipped with a 4-barrel carburetor and paired with a 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. The big-block V8 delivers the smooth, effortless torque that made the Thunderbird an exceptional long-distance cruiser, while power steering and power brakes provide confident control behind the wheel. An aftermarket air conditioning pump has been fitted to enhance the operation of the climate control system, complementing the Thunderbird's blend of classic V8 performance and comfortable touring capability.
