The seller offers for sale this 1966 Ford Thunderbird, a well-preserved sedan powered by a 6.4-litre V8 petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission. With mileage guaranteed and documentation from the USA and Spain, this Thunderbird was imported to Spain in 2025 as part of a restoration project that is close to completion. The car features a new cooling system, a new air conditioning compressor and a rear disc brake upgrade. It starts without hesitation, produces no smoke or unusual noises and shifts smoothly through its 3-speed C6 automatic transmission. The paintwork presents well with age-related scratches and raised spots but no visible rust. The interior is in strong condition with undamaged leather seats, working gauges and original luggage included. Minor finishing items—such as painting the kick panels and connecting the A/C switch—remain, and replacement parts are supplied with the vehicle.
The Ford Thunderbird of the mid-1960s represented a blend of luxury and performance, bridging the gap between personal coupe and executive express. Known for its distinctive styling, generous equipment and smooth V8 power, the Thunderbird offered a refined driving experience wrapped in unmistakable American flair. Models from this era remain attractive to collectors for their comfort, spacious cabins and commanding road presence. With a wide fan base and accessible parts supply, they continue to appeal to enthusiasts seeking a classic with character and practicality. This example, benefiting from recent mechanical investment and modernised features like improved braking and updated cooling, offers a solid and appealing entry point into Thunderbird ownership.
