The Fourth generation Ford Thunderbird (1964-66) came with more formal squared off styling. The standard 390 Ci 300 bhp engine reached the 0-60 mph in 11 seconds thanks to the cars increased weight although a top speed of 120 mph was possible. Though the optional 427 cu in (7000cc) did give the extra urge the Thunderbird required
