The power windows all work easily and well, as well as the power convertible top. The black vinyl convertible top is also newer and all of the old and troublesome relays have been converted to the newer electronic relay systems replacing the older and problematic mechanical relays.

There are a limited number of these iconic birds that are convertibles and were ordered new with factory air conditioning. The rare factory air conditioning makes this Thunderbird even more special. The interior is in excellent condition today. The black vinyl upholstery has also been redone with all the correct patterns and materials. The factory production tag has been painted over not allowing us to know the original paint and trim codes. It has been the star of annual parades, weddings and even a movie or two! The correct Kelsey-Hayes chrome wire wheels really compliment the look of the T-Bird. The quality is not concours but it would be at home at local and regional car shows and touring events. The paint has excellent luster and shine. The paint and chrome are in very nice condition today. Since 1998, this T-Bird has received a complete repaint in Ragoon Red. At the time it was a very nice original car with no rust or accident history. The previous owner was Von Herbst of Blackfoot, ID. This T-Bird was built new in the Wixom, MI Ford plant and was bought by the current owner on December 7th, 1998. This is part of a 40 car collection in El Paso, TX and has been owned by our client for the past 22 years. This is a very nice example of a 1965 Ford Thunderbird in the iconic color of Rangoon Red.
