Eastern Shore Classic Cars is proud to represent the owner of this beautiful, original, showroom condition 1965 Ford Thunderbird Landau. Opportunities to own Thunderbirds of this pristine condition are few and far between. The odometer reads less than 22K original miles! First a little background….The fourth generation Ford Thunderbird was introduced in 1964. In 1965 front disc brakes became standard equipment and sequential turn signals which flashed three bulbs in the broad, horizontal tail lights from inside to outside were added. Updated exterior trim included a new grille, Thunderbird emblem replacing the block letters on the front edge of the hood, simulated front fender vent trim, revised Thunderbird scripts now located on the rear edge of the quarter panels, and revised taillight lens trim and a single center emblem replacing the dual lens birds and block letters respectively. The popular "Tilt-Away" steering column continued, and was a Thunderbird recognized feature that was later shared on other upper-level Ford Products.[3] For 65, a new Town Sedan model was offered, which featured a roof with blind quarter panels for a more 'formal' look. The Landau trim package, (included in this vehicle), added to the Town Sedan a padded roof and landau S-bars. It became by far the best-selling model. Under the hood, you will find the 390 CI V8 6.4 liter motor mated to a 3 speed Cruise-O-Matic transmission. Factory Air conditioning is also included. A close inspection of the exterior will convey that the vehicle places in the high “excellent” condition category. A few, very minor paint flaws, are all that separates it from Concourse quality. A careful review of the photos will reveal the interior is in perfect condition. The seats have no rips or wear, and the carpets are perfect. The body is straight with absolutely no rust and the engine compartment is super clean. The motor and transmission run flawlessly. The undercarriage is undercoated and shows no sign of rust. The original spare resides in the trunk! This is a rare opportunity to own a classic Thunderbird that will only rise in value.
