There is a ad on the Facebook marketplace for a 66 T-Bird. Listed for $12,000. but looks like it is complete and drive-able. Might be cheaper than the $1000 basket case.
 
Just looked up ad for the Bird. It is a Town Landau- same body style as you tried to look at. Car appears several times showing Shawnee, OK and Bartlesville, OK. for locations. Price is listed from $10,000 to $12,500. Sounds like she wants to sell it pretty bad. She also has some other stuff listed so she may buy and sell. I bought a 65 Special Landau new and drove it for several years. Loved that car.
 
If you're really set up to do restoration work, and want a show car, it could be a great project. If not, it's probably less money to buy a presentable driver as CrownVic55 said.



I bought a '65 last year for not much money, but it literally took years of looking online to find a reasonably solid driver with a good drive train (that mostly needs just cosmetics) at that price.



Sorry about the pointless trip, though. I almost bought another out of state T-Bird last year where the seller tried to misrepresent the title status, so I feel your pain.
 
Does this guy own the car, and the shop? It would be a long time before I drove that far again to see it. I see some pretty nice driver 65 and 66s here in Fl for 5-6K.
 
Yes it was in the shop that I was told look like the place in the pictures at least his name was on the truck he was driving and the ones in the yard same phone number on the truck as I use to call him and talk to him
 
I owned a 64 T-bird and finally sold it. They can be a hand full to maintain. If I had it to do over, I would get rid of the Cruise-O-Matic and convert it to a C6. At least the 66 had a better power steering pump but it may still have the hydraulic windshield wiper. I had problems with those too. Working on the air conditioning and vacuum systems was a nightmare.
