1966 Ford Thunderbird Convertible

  • Chassis Number: 6Y85Q153417
This Ford Thunderbird was sold new in Santa Ana, California and is formerly of the Jerry Capizzi Collection. It is a triple Black example and one of the few equipped at the factory with the rare Q-Code 428/345 HP engine and California emissions control package. It is well optioned with an automatic transmission, cruise control, leather seat upholstery, safety convenience control panel, unique White/Redline tires and deluxe wheel covers, bright wheel arch moldings, power windows with power vent windows, power driver's seat, reclining passenger seat, factory air conditioning, AM factory radio with 8-Track player, power antenna, tinted glass, passenger accessory mirror, door edge guards and a molded fiberglass tonneau cover. It shows just 305 miles on the odometer. The car has been restored to Concours-quality standards.

It has been rewarded with no fewer than nine First Place prizes earned at numerous VTCI and AACA events, including 1st Place at the 1990 VTCI Regional and 1990, 1991 and 1993 VTCI International events, 1st Place Junior at the 1993 AACA Southern Nationals, 1st Place Senior at the 1993 AACA Mid-Central Nationals, 1st Place and the Preservation Award at the 1994 and 1995 AACA Grand Nationals and 1st Place and Best of Show at the 1995 International Thunderbird Club Meet.
