Description for Ford Thunderbird 1966

1966FORD THUNDERBIRD Hardtop

NO RESERVE !!!

because I believe a classic vehicle is worth as much as the next caretaker is willing to pay!

This a "turn key" and "drive anywhere" THUNDERBIRD that is numbers matching and well documented. This is truly one of the most reliable vehicles in my collection. Starts with ease and never smokes or drinks. She glides down the road at 65+ without any issues. Some consider the 1966 BIRD "the last of the real THUNDERBIRDS". The only reason I am selling is because I have ran out of room for all my toys, o its time to find a new caretaker for the BIRD.

I am NOT a dealer but just a collector that has run out of space for his toys! I have sold numerous vehicles on eBay and made some great friends along the way. Please ask my any questions you might have and I will respond immediately. Additional photos upon request. Over-sea buyers are welcome!
