I think that color is Rangoon Red. That is one very nice original T Bird. Someone will get a nice car.
Thank you! I keep forgetting to look it up. Yes, anyone would be hard pressed to find one that's as original and rust free as this one. It's ready to take to a car show as it is.
Nice car. I have a Rose metallic 66 hardtop Thunderbird. The 66 being my favourite due to front grille and cool sequential rear indicators.
I've always really liked the 66 myself, Mark. I guess the consumer just didn't think there was enough of a change from the 64, which could be why the sales numbers were down.
@@tonyscarcare5657 yes and the 66 Riviera snd Toronado were all new and very nicely done. 👍
She is mint. Thank you Gentlemen!!
You're welcome. Thank you!
Beautiful car. Brandon is a man of few words!
Yeah, he sure doesn't say much.
That car is almost 60 years old, it has taken a lot of work over the years to keep the car as perfect as it is,
I think a person would go insane taking one that’s in poor condition and bringing it up to the level that that car is in , it sure looks like no detail has been overlooked on that car,
@@david-wilkerson1967You are right, Dave. This car needs nothing and is ready to take to any car show just the way it is.
Beautiful car! This is a perfect example of the difference between cars of that era and now. They had such style and vibrance and individuality compared to the bland garbage we have these days. Try and think of a car today that you can be proud to own unless you are super rich and can buy something like a Ferrari. How I do hate the twenty-first century.
For sure! Back then, you knew that was a Ford Thunderbird. You didn't have to look for an emblem to see what kind it was.
Absolutely! I was around when that car was new and we didn't know how good we had it. I used to know every car by sight and now you can't tell a Honda from a Mercedes. In the name of safety they have idiot proofed style and excitement out of existence. Very sad.@@tonyscarcare5657
You are absolutely right!
Amen
Great video love all the 1960,s and early 1970 thunderbirds my uncle had a dark green 1964 t-bird in the mid 1970,s I can remember riding in it and the front bucket seats were sow low I couldn’t see over the dash board .tried too buy a couple off those early 60,s t- bird back in the 80,s but everyone that had one wanted a kings ransom for them back then even the rusty ones I did manage too buy a one owner 67 4 door t-bird that was my daily for about a year it was fantasticly reliable .that’s a beautiful convertible but I couldn’t see paying 40 grand for any old car once you start getting into money like that for a car you almost don’t want too drive it .too many poor careless drivers on the road .today .👍✌️
Thank you!
One beautiful Thunderbird. I always like them> To bad I can't afford it at $40K. I hope it goes to a good home, where someone will love it and cherries it forever.
Thank you! I have a feeling this is the one someone has been looking for. What's not to like? I'd buy it if I could, too.
Beautiful bird
I agree. Thank you!
Beautiful thunderbird. I hope it finds a good home. Thanks Tony
Thank you! I sure hope it does, too.
Nice car Brandon! Tony, thanks for helping him get this beauty some exposure.
You're welcome, and thank you! Let's hope it's just what someone has been looking for.
Wow! You don't find many vehicles with that kind of low mileage on them theses days! Very, Very nice condition as well. I would go for it Myself, but almost any older car or truck in those Years are completely out of My Budget with only a Pension Income.
Yes, Sir! It is definitely a rare find. I sure hope someone steps up. I did see the car before it was painted, and I know it's never been wrecked or rusted. The original paint was still showing very well.
@@tonyscarcare5657 Oh, I'm pretty sure there will be lots after it. I personally would like to find Me a 1964-1967 GMC 1/2 Ton Truck as always liked the lines of them & learned to Drive on Dad's 63. In 64, they took away the Knee Knockers & that's why I'm more for the 64-67. But once again, due to the out of this world costs now, that dream will never come true.
@KensHobbies409 Brandon has a 69 short bed Chevy that I told him I'd kike to do a video on. Hopefully, we get some more nice weather before winter really sets in.
That was an awkward, stilted, one sided conversation, although you did your best to engage him.
Brandon is a very quiet and shy person. He DID NOT want to put on that microphone, lol. But I can tell you that they are VERY good at what they do.
Definitely a top Quality body shop, I can tell they keep the building spotless, from what little I saw i’m sure they’re very particular about the work they do,
We're living in an era that will be viewed in the future, as innocent. Through CZcams we're able to visit small towns all over the United States and the people that live in those towns. We should learn to admire folks that wouldn't cheat you, lie to you or take advantage of you. Small towns have those types of people. If you live in Chicago, New York or L.A. you're used to so called "sophisticated" or "educated" people that will steal you blind. Give me a "Brandon" to talk to any day or buy a car at $40K when the crew at Mechums Car Auction will try to convince you that car is undervalued at $68K and should really sell for $80K.
They are definitely particular about everything for sure, Dave! You will likely see some more of their vehicles that are not for sale. They are more of a GM family.
Yes, Sir! I've known this family for many years and their reputation speaks for itself. They are some of the most honest folks you'll ever meet! And their quality of work is unmatched.
Extremely clean for sure. Love it. Was that 390 a Y block of was the FE out in 64?
Thank you! Yes, the 390 is definitely in the Y block family. Honestly, it's one of the best engines ever built. And probably the most produced FE engine.
I feel like Art should buy this car. Unless he had one already.
Art has a yellow one. We did a video on it. Plus, like me, Art is out of room. 🤣😂🤣😂
I also have a 1964 t bird convertible! I am wanting to sell. It is a beautiful car , well taking care! I am close to Sacramento Calif.
Thank you Tony for showing my favourite T-Bird in your video. Yesterday I saw a very extensive video from Vintage Thunderbird Repair and in this video they show that this car is complicated to use and run. And as usual I like your videos.👍👍
Thank you! I really don't think they are too bad as long as a person knows how to work on them.
Really a talkative guy Brandon is. That convertible top shouldn’t make those distressing sounds when it’s operated!
Brandon is very shy. He wouldn't say shit if he had a mouth full of it. That car sold very fast at almost the asking price! Went to Florida.
I've been playing around with old Birds for 50 years. The main reason for a slow flip-lid motor is a bad ground. The negative battery cable normally connect to the engine block. There needs to be a ground strap between the engine block and the chassis of the car. If that ground strap is missing you have a high resistance between the engine block and chassis. Normally everything will work, just slowly as in the case of the flip lid motor. The rear windows also need to be cleaned and greased, as the 64-66 are geared high and the motor just barely has enough torque to make them operate quickly and smoothly. Also, whenever you run the top up or down the engine should be running and hold it at a very fast idle that will allow the alternator to provide plenty of amps to keep up with the current draw of the top operation. The 64 convertible went to an all-in-one switch on the flip-lid which can be troublesome. This car obviously has a good one since it all works properly. You can get the switch rebuilt at several vendors if necessary. The flip lid transmission gears can get worn and allow a lot of slop which throws the switch out of adjustment. They can be rebuilt as well. There is also a set screw that can be adjusted on the worm gear of the flip lid transmission to take out slop. The Marquette speed control likely will not work as it is complex, much more so than the perfect circle used on many other cars at this time. This particular car looks to be in fantastic shape and should sell quickly. they are wonderful cars. I could go on and on about the heat and air, etc but I won't bore you with all the details. When everything is working properly these are neat cars. ONE MORE THING: For 64 only, there was a brake relay added after the sale because all six brake light bulbs being fed by the hydraulic brake switch was too much current for the switch . It caused issues with the brake light switch burning up from excessive current. A fix was added to install a brake light relay on the left from inner fender. This powered the brake lights through the relay contacts. This kit is available from the Tbird suppliers. Many of the 64s never did get this dealer fix.
That's all great info, Jeff! I'll make sure that Brandon sees it. It sounds like you know the birds like I know the 68 XLs.
Man of few words
Brandon is a very shy person. Once he gets to know someone, then he'll talk their leg off. He did not want to put that microphone on, though! I think we got out what we needed to. Lol
Any friend of Tony’s is a friend of mine, I hope we see more videos with Brandon and his vehicles/shop, “walking tall “ what is my impression for somebody I’ve never met, anyway, my thanks and my full respect to both of you for a great video!
Thanks, Dave. I'm proud to call Brandon and his family, my friends.
I think in 64 that color was called Rangoon Red.
I believe you are correct. Thank you!
I'm thinking of buying a 1965 one that's for sale. I really love the car but not entirely sure how it would be as a daily.
I personally wouldn't wanna daily one of these.
No its off white with red interior
Is it Rangoon Red?
That's what several have told me, so I'm thinking it must be.
Was this car sold?
No, Sir. I will mark it sold when it has sold.
