Description
Presenting a pristine 1966 Ford Thunderbird convertible in a captivating 'Phoenician' yellow finish contrasted by sleek black vinyl upholstery. This vintage gem is powered by a robust 390ci V8 engine, perfectly mated to a smooth Dual range C-6 automatic transmission for a classic driving experience. Notable features include a power-operated black soft top, 15″ steel wheels, chrome bumpers, power windows, and an AM radio, ensuring a blend of style and comfort. The history of this Thunderbird is rich, with the current seller having cherished it for approximately 3.5 years. The vehicle's provenance can be traced back to its initial purchase in Kelowna, B.C., Canada, by a doctor. Passed through generations, it was eventually acquired by the seller. The sale encompasses essential original components like the fender skirts, air cleaner assembly, and valve covers.
For US bidders:

A meticulous repaint transformed the original honeydew yellow into the stunning 'Phoenician' yellow, accentuated by a power-operated black soft top and thoughtful additions like sequential turn signals and chrome bumpers. There are no reported accidents or claims, and the front engine bay proudly displays matching VIN numbers. The steel 15″ wheels are adorned with Thunderbird-branded covers and wrapped in Custom 428 A/S All season tires, exuding a timeless aesthetic.
While the car boasts exceptional features, some imperfections have been noted by the seller. These include the need for a new pinion seal due to a slow leak, a minor engine leak at the rear of the oil pan, and slow movement of the rear power windows, requiring attention. Additionally, the back window of the convertible top needs a new zipper, and there are typical paint and rock chips. The chrome and bright work, though, are in good condition, with minor pitting.
The car rolls on all new tires with minimal usage, offering safety and traction on the road.
Inside the cabin, the theme continues with black vinyl-trimmed front bucket seats harmonizing with the color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpets. The interior offers modern amenities such as, power trunk release, power windows, and an AM radio for a blend of luxury and nostalgia. The instrument panel hosts a two-spoke steering wheel, a horizontal-sweep 120-mph speedometer, and auxiliary gauges displaying oil pressure, fuel level, coolant temperature, and amperage. The odometer displays 91k miles, with approximately 200 added during the seller's ownership.
Under the hood lies the potent 390ci V8 engine, equipped with a four-barrel carburetor, chrome air-cleaner housing, and valve covers. Power is efficiently channeled to the rear wheels through a Dual range C-6 automatic transmission, delivering the Thunderbird's iconic performance. Recent servicing includes a comprehensive oil change, carburetor rebuild, new spark plugs, wires, rotor, cap, ignition coil, and transmission maintenance. The front suspension and steering have been meticulously rebuilt, ensuring a smooth and reliable driving experience. The engine bay has been upgraded with chrome valve covers and an OEM performance air cleaner assembly, adding a touch of style to the powerhouse.
