1965 Ford Thunderbird - $21,000 - Santa Cruz, CA - 1965 Ford Thunderbird, beautifully restored
Remarkable Santa Cruz car to start with, never crashed, no rust; bought from the original owner and restored over four years. Ken Hedeira did the paint – amazing technology and craftsmanship. This car is a stunner.
New: Front seat upholstery, door panels, carpet, windshield, rear view mirror, taillights and electronics, emblems, tires (not shown), brakes, shocks, starter, carburetor, chrome valve covers, alternator, fuel pump, gas gauge and sending unit, heater core, exhaust, electronic points, coil, battery, hoses, belts, plugs, wires, and much more to make this car run like a top.
Wow: The paint. The pictures do it justice: it’s just that amazing. Remote controlled doors with handles removed are the one truly modern upgrade on your grandfather’s T-Bird. New fender skirts included in case you like the Thelma and Louise look. Fresh package shelf valance paint was not an easy task, but well worth the trouble (not shown). More pictures upon request. You can even see the car stripped to bare metal...
Status: 396 inch rebuilt motor with estimated ~7,000 miles. Powerful and smooth, Birdie is an outstanding road car. Does not leak anything. Air conditioning disabled (Santa Cruz). To make it a show car: Dash lights, odometer and clock are next to fix; sale price includes spare clock. No stereo. Arial removed prior to paint. Clean up engine bay. Done.
