About this 1964 Ford Thunderbird

VIN: 4Y83Z111518

This 1964 Ford Thunderbird marks the beginning of the fourth generation of Ford's legendary personal luxury coupe. Following the wildly sculptural "Bullet Birds" of 1961–1963, Ford introduced a more angular, formal design language for 1964 that gave the Thunderbird a crisp, contemporary presence and a more spacious cabin. This generation solidified the model's reputation as a distinctly American grand tourer—one that blended V8 performance with genuine comfort and unmistakable style.

  • Engine: 390ci V8 (Z-Code Special V8) paired with an automatic transmission
  • Originality: Modified, with updates that personalize the car beyond factory specifications
  • Exterior: Blue over a black interior, a timeless color combination that complements the Thunderbird's elegant lines
  • Mileage: 25,606 miles indicated (TMU)
  • Configuration: 2-door coupe, left-hand drive, rear-wheel drive
  • Location: Offered in Dearborn, Michigan — the very birthplace of Ford Motor Company

Described as a modified example, this Thunderbird has been thoughtfully updated while retaining the essential character that makes these cars so desirable. The 390ci V8 was the top powerplant of the era, delivering smooth, effortless torque through its automatic gearbox. Its low indicated mileage and distinctive blue-over-black presentation help it stand out as a well-kept representative of mid-1960s American luxury.

Recent market activity for 1964 Ford Thunderbird coupes shows comparable examples trading in a range of roughly $18,000 to $31,000, depending on condition and originality. Original, highly original examples have been observed from around $7,000 at auction to the low-$30,000s for turn-key driver-quality cars, while modified examples with strong visual appeal tend to land in the mid-$20,000 range. This places the subject car in an attractive position within the Ford Thunderbird 4th Gen market.
