But the hardware associated with the top was recently redone. That might also explain while the car has been beautifully repainted while the convertible top material is in shambles. This ’64 T-Bird is being sold by its second owner, likely because he’s moving. Out of 92,465 T-Birds built in 1964, 9,198 were drop-tops like the seller’s car. The cars continued to be powered by Ford’s 300 hp version of the 390 cubic-inch V8 and 3-speed automatic transmission was standard equipment. The fourth generation was built in 1964, 1965, and 1966 and had a more squared-off appearance, which was mostly evident when viewing the car from the side or rear. This makes it one of Ford’s most enduring nameplates. The Thunderbird is a personal luxury car that had a storied and varied run at Ford between 1955-97 and again from 2002-05 through 11 distinct generations. It’s available here on eBay for as little as $17,000 (if no more than one bid is cast). Located in Las Vegas, this car has been partially restored but still needs a new convertible top. Though there were rumors to the contrary, there were no 2-seat T-Bird Sports Roadsters after ’63, but this drop-top looks stunning nonetheless. They would be more formal-looking cars, including the seller’s ’64 convertible. Despite their cool looks, the 1961-63 Thunderbirds did not sell as well as Ford had hoped, so the cars were redesigned in 1964-66.
