Jayson Newton says: I bought my 1964 Thunderbird Hardtop on June 14th 1988 in Lubbock, Texas a month before I turned 15 (my dad kicked in some of the money that I had to pay back) and I drove it during high school. When I left for college, I bought a 1985 Turbo Coupe and this one was stored in a barn (concrete floors and metal walls). After a few years in the Army and several cars and states, I had decided to go get my T-bird after a decade of her sitting and waiting. I have spent a lot of time trying to get her back going, and I have a lot of good memories of me and my dad working on it, and now new memories with my own nine year old son. He already says it is HIS car!
It is as close to Silver mink as the paint shop could get, and the interior is redone in silver blue cloth. It has all options exept cruise, and a silver blue vinyl top. Some one changed the rims to 70's Ford, Mercury or Lincoln solid Aluminum rims that I have become attached to. It has the original spare in the trunk, and even had bias ply tires on it until 1999. some of the resto work is mediocre, some is great. The car was actually silver when I got it with a silver top, but it was peeling and the top was cracked. It still turns heads, and all the teenage boys in the neighborhood have offered to buy it and tell me how cool it is when I tell them it isn't for sale.
