Thanks for looking!
1965 Ford Thunderbird Landau with the all important Disc brakes and Sequentail indicators! Built in 65 in Wixom. Michigan Vin number 5Y87Z1249**
Please remember this is a Unrestored 51 Year old Classic American car with 8 Months Mot. Imported from America in 2012 after being in the warmer dry parts of Wyoming and Utah most of its life
The following is a HONEST DESCRIPTION not the normal ebay type missing out loads of things! By someone thats owned a LOT of classics over the years!

Inside.
Clean and tidy. nbsp;Pure 1960's american style!!! slight wear on the drivers seat. 2 small cracks in the dash and a few bits of trim starting to show signs of being 50 years old (still better than most 20 year old cars) Everything inside looks to be original. even down to the AM Radio that still works! Its not "new" but its quite a survivor to be fair to it. Everything working apart from the A/C that leaks its gas from a pipe seal over about 8 weeks. and the wiper switch that likes to turn its self on apart from that Everything works!
Mechanics.
390ci V8 4 Barrel Carb (quite sure these were 2 barrel originaly) Great oil pressure even after a fast drive. No Smoke. No leaks. Nice smooth changing 3 speed autobox and its even quite good on fuel. It has just this weekend had a full Service. with brake fluid. Diff oil. Gearbox oil. Engine oil. Engine oil filter and its having a Carb overhall in the next couple of days as its a little rich when warm. only other things are a Tiny blow from the o/s exhaust header but not worth worrying about. and its also got cherry bomb exhausts so its rather loud (a good thing for sure) The car has Recently had Electronic ignition fitted. and has been lowered 3" by NAMCO in northcamp. they also gave it a checkover for the last owner to and have done a few other jobs over the last year or 2.
Body and Shell
Repainted in the USA prior to import at some point. thought to be around 15 years ago. Does not look to have had hardly any welding or major work done and no sign of any crash damage. All panels are rot free. even the boot and bonnet inner skins are good. Car looks to be "bondo" free in the most part with only a small part of a rear quater fillered up from a small dent. There are some SMALL bubbles around the car and the paint job is suffering from old age and wants redoing (crazing due to the normal poor yank paint). there are various "trolly" dings down the sides but i would have that over something purfect with bondo covering everything any day of the week!! this is WELL above average. and has come from a dry part of the USA. It needs someone to Love it. Waxoil it. and keep ontop of it and it will still be around in another 50 years it would not take much at all to get this to a show winning standard.
Reason for sale
I thought it would fit around a tight corner and into my garage. But it does not and i dont want to leave it parked outside my house on a main road.  
I got it as the 65 is the Best year. Disc brakes. huge yank bodywork. and sequential tail lights together with nearly new whitewall tyres and black paint. i have done around 500 miles in it and apart from a sticky caliper (now sorted) have had no problems at all.  
If you dont like people looking. pointing and even Screaming at there mates down the road to look at the car. this car is not for you

Paperwork
Full V5. Last 3 MOT's few other bills. original 1965 type handbook and clear hpi print out 2 owners since import. first one kept in a underground carport in london. second under cover on a drive way
