CONTACT JEFF AT 570 977 0741. Up for sale and your consideration is a really nice 1965 Ford Thunderbird Landau. Please take the time to look over all 24 photos that I have listed here. I welcome and encourage an in person viewing of the car by appointment to any perspective buyer to answer any questons that they may have.

Here is a very nice 1965 Thunderbird Landau with only 73,844 original miles. It was purchased from the family ofa deceased owner after resting in storage for a few years. It is not a 100 point show car and did not spend its whole life in the Arizona desert. It is priced for what it is, a turn key car with great curb appeal that can be enjoyed the day it is purchased. It was occasionally started while in storage and was treated to many replacement parts to bring it back to being a reliable and road worthy car. Those items are as follows: tires, battery, alternator, regulator, carb rebuild, gas tank cleaning, temperature, oil, fuel senders, hood to cowl seal, trunk weather stripping, trunk mat set, carpeting, plugs, points, condensor, cap, rotor, wires, oil lubrication and fluid check.

Data plate reveals that this car was built in Metucilen, NJ on April 5, 1965. It left the factory equipped with a 390 engine (codeZ), a cruise-o-matic transmission (code4) and a 300-1 ratio rear axle (code1). It was painted palomino (code29) and has a navajo beige interior (codeT). It is well equipped with power steering, power disc brakes, factory air conditioning, (complete but not working), AM/FM radio, swing away steering wheel, sequentional turn signals, back up lights, tinted glass and seat belts.

This thunderbird was last inspected in Penna in 1989 at which time it was branded as an antique. The 1989 inspection stickers are still intact and reveal the mileage at this time was 72,680, so this car was literally only driven 1,164 in the last 27 years!

Driveline: The original engine runs quiet with no smoke, the transmisson shifts fine and there are no exhaust leaks.

Interior: The interior is mostly originalwith the exception of new carpeting and door panel guards on the finger cups. There are no rips or cracks visible. All lights work. Radio, heater blower, wipers, and horn work. All gauges work fine. Air conditioner does not. As you can see in the photos, the interior is very nice.

Body: It appears this vehicle received a repaint some time ago. It still looks good, but close inspection reveals a few imperfections due to age, again this is not a show car nor is it priced as such. There are no rust holes visible. Bumpers are original. Tinted glass has no cracks or milking. Vinyl top is original. Underside inspection reveals this vehicle was undercoated from new, providing some protection from the northeast winters. An 11 1/2 x 16 section of the driver's floor was replaced properly with heavy sheet metal and a welder, not license plates and pop rivets. The car rides on 225-75-R15 Cornell all season radials. Original jack is in the proper storage area in the trunk.

This is an honest appraisal of this car. In person viewing of this vehicle is welcome and encouraged to satisfy any doubts about condition by appointment only. My long term 100% feedback rating speaks for itself. The vehicle has been priced fairly and sensibly so even a working class buyer can afford it.
