Used 1964 Ford Thunderbird for sale in Glasgow, KY

This matching numbers Thunderbird was fully restored in 2004-2005 taking just over a year to complete. The car was restored using as much of the original as was possible. As you can see in the restoration photos nothing on this car was missed. This car has been in the family since it was purchased from the original owner, and was restored to preserve the car. The car has right at 2,000 miles on it since the restore and rebuild of the power plant and drive train. As to be expected with a driven car, it does have the normal wear of 2,000 miles. Very little time and energy would be required to put the car back into "trailered" show quality. There are a couple of small maintenance needs: the rear passenger window is off track (motor is fine) and occasionally the pressure switch on the trunk flap gets out of adjustment requiring the use of an override switch to be used to lift the trunk lid (hidden under the back seat) the radio is original but doesn't work and the fuel and temp gauge do not work (there is a temp gauge hid under the dash) and a small exhaust leak. Overall I would rate the car a 9.5 in show car quality. More photos available upon request including restoration. I'm selling the car because i just don't get to use it like the cars require and would enjoy knowing that it is getting the use and enjoyment that is deserves. The Thunderbird was restyled in favor of a more squared-off, "formal" look for 1964. The Thunderbird’s sporty image had by that time become only an image. The standard 390 cu. in. 315 bhp engine needed nearly 11 seconds to push the heavy T-bird to 60 mph (96 km/h), although with enough room a top speed of about 120 mph (200 km/h) was obtainable. The softly sprung suspension allowed considerable body lean, wallow, and float except on smoothly surfaced highways. The Bullet Birds were rounded, the next-generation "Jet Birds" (or "Sculpted Birds") were squared off and sharp. The proportions, however, were similar in silhouette with both a long hood and a long trunk over a relatively short 113.2-inch wheelbase. Dual headlights, a low-placed sweeping grille and upright windshield all were similar to the Bullet Bird, but the deeply sculptured sides were new as were the large rear taillights. Both coupe and convertible models continued with the 1964 Thunderbird and the separate Landau model also carried forward. However, the Sports Roadster was gone. Two versions of Ford’s 390-cubic-inch V8 were available both topped by Holley four-barrel carburetors. The base 390 used one Holley and a 10.0-to-1 compression ratio to make 300 hp while the optional high-performance version ran 10.5-to-1 compression and two Holley’s and was rated at 330 hp. Both were backed by a three-speed automatic transmission. "One additional item that should accompany milady when she drives her Thunderbird downtown for a shopping spree is an auto club membership," wrote Motor Trend. "Should a tire go flat, few women would be able to wrestle the heavy spare wheel and tire out of its high resting place or over the trunk’s high lip…Ford’s Thunderbird fills its intended purpose. It’s a real prestige four-seater. Granted it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but for bird lovers, it’s the ’only way to fly.’ Flight plans, anyone?"
