Completely Original 1964 Ford Thunderbird Convertible
New to our Pleasanton showroom is this breathtaking 1964 Ford Thunderbird 2 Door Convertible with Platinum Blue exterior paint and a grey leather interior. You’ll find a factory 390 cid V-8 engine under the hood with the numbers-matching automatic transmission and this one is completely loaded from the dealership with power steering, power brakes, a power top, power windows and virtually all its original trim/accessories. This outstanding find is in beautiful condition throughout and you must see it in person to truly appreciate the overall quality- it’s like stepping back in time.
Lifetime One Owner Santa Cruz, California Classic
Here’s something you rarely hear these days- the current owner of this 1964 Ford Thunderbird Roadster purchased it brand new in Santa Cruz, California back in December of 1963 and he has cherished it like a family member over the past 54 years. In fact, we have service receipts going back decades to show that this beautiful classic has been on the road and enjoyed throughout its life. Additionally, the engine was rebuilt about 64k miles back and this one was resprayed in the correct factory color almost twenty years ago. It still looks exceptional though because it has remained garaged and pampered its entire life.
The current owner also informs us that he had the interior seats refurbished some time ago since that was one of the only aspects of this classic that showed its age. Otherwise though, every aspect of this outstanding 1964 Ford Thunderbird Convertible are factory original and correct- from the radio to the autometer gauges to the trim work and carpeting. The engine compartment is also completely stock and shows its age to some degree- which may or may not be desirable for the next owner. It would not take much to refresh at all though so we definitely appreciate the current owner leaving it as it sits.
A Sensational Survivor w/ Massive Curb Appeal
Overall, this 1964 Ford Thunderbird Roadster is one of the most prestigious true survivors we’ve ever seen and it is in excellent original condition throughout. It would be difficult to find a more original, better cared for survivor anywhere on today’s open market- much less at the current asking price. You’d better hurry though before the original owner changes his mind and keeps it forever!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
