The seller offers for sale this 1964 Ford Thunderbird, powered by a 6.4-litre V8 engine, paired with an automatic transmission. Finished in red with a matching red interior, this fourth-generation Thunderbird presents as a striking open cruiser and comes with a range of thoughtful upgrades. The car underwent a bolt-and-nut restoration between 1996 and 1998 and has since been converted to run on LPG, fitted with hardened valves and two tanks that allow easy switching between fuel sources. Additional features that go beyond standard specification include electronic ignition, front disc brakes, sequential indicators at the rear, a convertible hood with remote control, an upgraded cooling system and electric seat adjustment. A selection of spare parts is included with the sale.
Introduced for the 1964 model year, this generation of the Ford Thunderbird marked a return to crisp, sharply creased styling after the rounded lines of the preceding cars. The Thunderbird had by this point evolved from its origins as a two-seat personal car into a larger, more luxurious four-seat grand tourer, positioned as Ford’s flagship personal-luxury model. The 1964 cabriolet paired long, elegant proportions with a powerful V8 and an emphasis on comfort and presence, qualities that continue to make these cars sought after among collectors of American classics.
The 390 cubic-inch V8 delivers relaxed, effortless performance well suited to the Thunderbird’s role as a boulevard cruiser, while the automatic transmission and generously appointed cabin underline its grand-touring character. With its distinctive rear treatment, full-width tail lights and open bodywork, the fourth-generation Thunderbird cabriolet remains one of the more charismatic expressions of mid-1960s American design. This particular example, with its documented restoration history and practical modern upgrades, offers an appealing entry into classic American motoring.
