SeatbeltsFor sale at Gateway Classic Cars is a 1965 Ford Thunderbird Special Landau. This Thunderbird is painted in a rare and eye catching Emberglo with a Parchment vinyl top that was only available on the Special Landau package. The interior was also Special Landau exclusive in Parchment and Emberglo. Of the 74,972 Thunderbirds produced in 1965, only 4,500 were equipped with the Special Landau package. Ford made 2,346 more convertibles than the Special Landau, certainly making this a rare bird. Powering this Thunderbird is the original 390 cubic inch V8 with a four barrel carburetor and dual exhaust producing 300 horsepower. The Cruise-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission sent the power to the rear wheels. Slowing this heavy cruiser was much less dramatic than previous years and than most of the competition thanks to front disc brakes sporting dual piston brake calipers. Options were plentiful for this Special Landau. A reclining passenger's seat with adjustable head rest, A/C, Seat belt light in the console, Power brakes, Power steering, AM radio and of course everyone's favorite, the swing away steering column. Approximately 15 years ago the car received its first repaint in the original Emberglo. During that same time the car received a new vinyl top and an engine rebuild. During the rebuild, the engine builder replaced the original camshaft with a slightly more aggressive cam and a Holley four barrel carburetor. The odometer is showing 01,088 believed to be 101,088 original miles. The comfy cruiser is riding on a near new set of 15" radial tires and 1965 specific wheels. The wheels for the 1965 are specific to this year because of the new disc brakes that were not available in 1964.
