The Ford Thunderbird was the first personal luxury car in the United States, bringing Americans a slice of the European Grand Touring class. Initially made as a two seater, Ford started adding a rear seat for subsequent generations, to open up the T-Bird’s appeal to well-heeled families too. So, if you want to experience 60s opulence in American style, select this fourth generation 1966 Ford Thunderbird as your next classic car buy. We’re told that the car is mostly original, packs 98,000 miles, and comes to you with all servicing up to date.
This 1966 Ford Thunderbird comes in a sort of yellowish beige paintwork, which is fantastic for showing off its iconic 60s lines. The fourth generation was made for just three model years, namely 1964 through 1966. That means you’ve got classic styling, unibody construction and plenty of chrome. There are design cues such as the double headlamps, a contrasting white roof, and white-striped tires. The keen-eyed will also note the dainty rear wheel slats, chromed tailpipes and thin-rimmed doors. As you open one of these doors, your eyes will be treated to an interior bathed in comfortable, white leather-upholstered seats. Four adults can easily travel with ample space to spare, and we’re informed that the front seats are new. Creature comforts include central locking, power windows, a heater, and a retro-modern Thunderbird-branded push-button radio with an AUX input. There’s also a quirky linear speedometer, flanked by traditional gauges for auxiliary information such as fuel level and engine coolant temperature. There’s also a nice analog clock mounted at the top of the dashboard, a feature that’s all too rare in today’s digital-drenched automobiles. So grab the thin-rimmed steering wheel, shift the column-mounted shifter into Drive, and step on the gas pedal to enter Sixties luxury motoring nirvana. Wherever you’re going, you’ll definitely want it to be a long trip, and thanks to the spacious trunk, you can take plenty of luggage too.
As befits a car like this 1966 Ford Thunderbird, there’s a powerful 390ci V8 under the hood. Factory figures are around 315hp, sent to the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission. So, while the car’s forte is relaxed cruising, you won’t find it hard to keep up with modern freeway traffic, either.

Ford’s T-Bird brought Americans a slice of the European Grand Tourer lifestyle. These luxury cars were initially two seaters with powerful engines and the best luxury and technological features of their time.

The first-generation Thunderbird was introduced in 1954 as Ford’s answer to the Chevy Corvette that came out the year before. To call it a direct competitor of the Vette would, however, be inaccurate. While the Corvette was a small and lightweight 2-seater with a fiberglass body (to compete with European sports cars), the T-Bird was more of a 2-seater personal luxury car for a younger demographic of buyers (being smaller and lighter than most Detroit products at the time). In fact, in its first production year, it outsold the Corvette by a massive margin. In total, over 53,000 first-generation Thunderbirds were made in 3 years of production, with 1957 being the most successful year.
Ford’s Mustang has always been a playful sort of car, targeted at those who want to have fun. After all, it’s what created the whole pony car segment. But what if a Mustang could truly be hotted up?

With a mere 1,196 miles on the odometer, it’s basically a brand-new car.
