1966 Thunderbird Interior


The interior on this car is in very good shape.
Gauges: Oil pressure, Fuel Level, Engine Temperature and Charging (volt meter)
All gauges are operating properly and there is very good oil pressure.
I have had the dash apart to replace bulds and all dash lights illuminate properly.
Turn signals - the turn signals are current working intermittently due to the motorized sequencer which are known to cause problems. Electronic sequencers can be puchased for around $99.

Spedometer works properly

Clock - had the clock working but it has since stopped again.

Steering wheel currently has an aftermarket wrap on it - have not removed to inspect.

Steering column - Slides away to allow easy exit/entrance to vehicle.

Shifter - The shifter works fine and causes no problem however it is loose feeling and moves a little too freely, (this is common to this vintage T-bird).







Windshield Washer - Works as it is supposed to even has the original bag reservoir.

Winshield Wipers - Work properly - They are the style the style that meet in the middle instead of swinging both left then both right. The wipers are also variable speed not just slow and fast as most of the old cars were.

Headlights - Switch works properly but the chrome knob is broken off.

Remote Door locks - There is a vacuum switch on the center console to lock and unlock the doors. It currently does not work - I have not taken the time to look at yet.

Window Cranks - Main windows operate properly. There are vent windows also - the drivers side vent window does not work and have not looked at passenger side.

Air Conditioning - Car is equipped with Air Conditioning but it is not currently functioning.



Upohlstry - The upohlstry is in very good condition with only a couple flaws. The Divers door panel has a crack in the arm rest. The drivers seat has some surface cracking on the side of the seat only seen with dood open and barely noticeable then. Front passenger seat is seperated front to back along center seam. Those are the only things I have noticed with the interior.
