1965 Ford Thunderbird Convertible
Thunderbird Convertible
A fourth-generation Thunderbird convertible in black over black — 390 FE V8, power top, and recent mechanical attention.
This 1965 Ford Thunderbird Convertible is a striking example of Ford’s personal luxury car, with the squared-off formal styling that defined the model in the mid-1960s and a power-operated top for open-air driving. It was built at the Wixom, Michigan plant — the VIN confirms it: body code 85 for the convertible, engine code Z for the 390.
Power comes from the 390 cubic-inch (6.4L) FE V8 paired with a three-speed automatic, driving the rear wheels. The car is equipped with power steering and a power convertible top, seats five, and has received a round of recent mechanical attention.
Equipment
- 390 CID (6.4L) FE V8

Recent Work

The power top mechanism on these cars is famously involved, so a recently replaced top switch is worth having.
