1964 Thunderbird in Patrician Green Metallic exterior and Light Turquoise interior
390 Cubic Inch 4 barrel / 3 speed Crusie-A-Matic transmission & 3. 25:1 rear axle
First sold in Los Angeles & always a California car. Body is excellent rust free
glossy paint, I see no sign of accident damage or bondo; Great driver quality +++ with
these distractions: Very rear of quarter passenger side near tail light bezel has a soft dent see picture #11
Some checking on hood see picture #15; over all very nice & presentable paint.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------
Brakes just redone with vacuum assist; stops as well as a 64 T Bird can. Power steering works great.
Absolutely solid all factory original floor pans , great rust free rocker panels.... this is as good as it gets.
Clean interior with no rips in seat covers, one tear in one door panel, nice dash with the famous futuristic
4 round gauge pods for Oil - Fuel - Temp - Amps. ( water temp not working) Horn, Running & Brake Lights,
Turn Signals - Wiper all good. Heater fan comes on, unsure about heater control cables for
defrost, floor heat etc. Horn, hood mounted turn signal indicators all work
Needs fix-it attention in these area's : Neutral start switch needs adjustment (you have to center the gear shift in Park for initial start )
-Passenger door opens fine from inside. needs rod adjustment for outside handle to open/ work (remove door panel etc.)
-Exhaust leak on right side of exhaust manifold where it meets heads.... loud and noticeable
-Front end could use tightening up (tie rods, ball joints?)
-Starts fine, holds idle after brief warm up but seems to be a miss in engine.
-Run rich at start up likely needs carb & choke adjustment.
All the above are my own opinion & evaluation; I might not have been able to find every flaw
Car is sold as is with no warranty I will be happy to answer any questions; you are encouraged to
see the car for yourself or get an independent evaluation . I can help with shipping / trucking arrangements
Car is located in Santa Barbara, California.
