This 1964 Ford Thunderbird Landau coupe was previously registered in Illinois and was refurbished in 2023, with reported work having involved repainting the car in metallic blue, replacing the carpeting, and reupholstering the cabin in white. Powered by a 390ci V8 mated to a Cruise-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission, the car is also equipped with a white vinyl-covered Landau hardtop roof, quadruple headlights, 15″ steel wheels with covers, and power-assisted steering as well as a swing-away steering wheel, a curved rear bench seat, power windows, an AM/FM radio, and a MagicAire heater/defroster. Acquired by the seller in 2024, this Thunderbird shows 89k miles and is offered at no reserve with a clean Tennessee title in the seller’s name.
The body has been refinished in blue with a white vinyl-covered Landau hardtop roof. Additional exterior details include a wrap-around chrome-finished front bumper, quadruple headlights, gun-sight front turn signals, and a chrome pinched-loop-style rear bumper.
Steel 15″ wheels wearing knock-off-style covers are mounted with Firestone thin-whitewall tires. The car came equipped from the factory with power steering, and stopping power is provided by power-assisted drum brakes at each corner.
The shell-contour front bucket seats and the curved rear bench seat have been reupholstered in white vinyl, and body-color trim accents the door panels and rear quarter trim panels. Appointments include front and rear center armrests, power windows, an AM/FM radio, and a MagicAire heater/defroster. The seller reports that the carpeting and the lights have been replaced. The air-conditioning system does not blow cold.
The two-spoke steering wheel is mounted to a swing-away column and frames a horizontal-sweep 120-mph speedometer and pod-style auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 89k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership.
The 390ci V8 is fitted with a four-barrel carburetor, and it produced 300 horsepower and 427 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is routed to the rear wheels via a Cruise-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission.
