The seller offers for sale this Ford Thunderbird from 1966, a two-door coupe powered by a 6.4 litre V8 petrol engine combined with an automatic transmission. The car was originally delivered new in Switzerland, which explains the presence of a kilometre speedometer rather than miles. It was imported to the Netherlands in 2001 and is described as a well-maintained example. The engine starts well and runs smoothly, with no unusual noises or smoke reported. The automatic gearbox shifts as intended. The car is fitted with power steering and front disc brakes, both functioning properly, and also features rear air suspension. The interior remains largely original and includes electric windows and electric seats, although the left window, dashboard lighting and radio are currently not working.
The 1966 Ford Thunderbird belongs to the fourth generation of this iconic American model, often referred to as the “Flair Bird.” Known for its bold styling, hidden headlights and luxurious features, the Thunderbird combined sporty appearance with comfort-oriented driving. The large V8 engine delivered strong performance, while the automatic transmission and advanced features for its time, such as power accessories, positioned it as a personal luxury coupe. Today, the 1966 Thunderbird is appreciated for its distinctive design, generous proportions and smooth cruising character, making it a popular choice among enthusiasts of classic American cars.
