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.
