The Thunderbird was restyled in favor of a more squared-off appearance, which was mostly evident when viewing the car from the side or rear. Hinting at its roots in the previous generation Thunderbird that it evolved from, the new model retained a similar grille design with dual headlights and a 113.2 inches wheelbase. The 300 horsepower 390 cu in FE V8 continued as the standard engine for the Thunderbird. It was paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. For 1965, sequential turn signals were added, flashing the individual segments of the broad, horizontal tail lights in sequences from inside to outside to indicate a turn. Also new for 1965 were standard front disc brakes, and doubled sided keys.
This Thunderbird convertible presents itself well with the Rangoon Red paint and contrasting white interior. A custom "Sports Roadster" package was added along with the Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels, continental kit and deck-mounted luggage rack. It is powered by the 315 hp 390 V-8 and Cruise-o-Matic transmission. Other features include power steering, brakes and windows
