Wearing glossy burgundy paint, an assembly of straight, unpitted chrome and showing precise body panel alignment from front to back, this 1964 Ford Thunderbird is an outstanding example of Ford's coveted personal luxury car in its more expansive fourth generation form. With its sharp styling and clean lines, it's no wonder it's a member of Thunderbird iteration often referred to as the ''Glamour Bird''. In fact, its stellar curb appeal prompted Gilbert, Arizona's own San Tan Ford to feature it in their showroom only a couple of years back to entice passersby. You can be sure that it stopped plenty of vintage car afficionados in their tracks during its tenure.
The interior was restored a while back and has a very appealing factory appearance. You won't find much evidence of wear on the white vinyl surfaces of the front buckets or rear bench seat, and the picture-perfect contrast the red carpeting below provides really needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. The center console appears to be in clean shape, harboring its assortment of switches for the power options as it tapers upwards to a dash area that's in matching condition. The factory gauges are still intact and functional inside the instrument cluster. This Bird is also equipped with factory air conditioning, and while it isn't currently reaching optimum coldness, its blower motor is strong, so a simple recharge is likely all that will be needed to get it back to top form.
This luxury cruiser is powered by a 390-cubic-inch V8 that sits inside a well-maintained compartment, surrounded by a nice assortment of chrome components for additional eye candy. Fed by a Holley four-barrel carburetor, it offers more than its fair share of torque, coming in at well over 400-lb.-ft. in factory trim, so be prepared to be knocked back in the driver's seat when you step into it. The engine pairs with a 3-speed automatic C6 transmission that shifts without a hitch, so this classic is as fun to drive as it is to gawk at. Smooth power steering makes for easy maneuvering, while upgraded four-wheel power disc brakes bring fade-resistant stopping ability that comes in handy with frequent driving.
