Murphman76 - And YOU are the winner! You are correct, not sure why I said what I did, but you can see in the video that the big silver "DISC" is on the brake pedal! Sometimes I just say dumb stuff! Thanks for the correction, that's what I like about this format! Jason Phillips
Also noted you were driving in the first dot drive where you start in second and go to third. Normal drive is the second dot with circle, start first , second then third. Driving mine since 1967 so I know this car.
I have had a 59 convertable, and a 66 hardtop. Both were only a couple of years old when I bought them . The 66 got 8 miles city, 16 hyw had four wheel disk breaks. Both had great rides but handled like the boats they were.
+AutoAppraise ...sorry, but you are incorrect, they most definitely were introduced on the 1965 Thunderbird (along with Lincoln) as standard equipment. It was a big deal. If the car is restored correctly...you will see a stainless "disc" emblem right on the brake pedal that says"Disc Brake". No question about it...I've had my '65 T'Bird for 30 years now.
I had two T-Birds. A'65 and a '69. The 65 was the coolest Swing away steering wheel and sequential turn signals, five on each side and wrap around back seat etc etc. The '69 was just OK but nothing special.
The transmission would not shift into third gear because you had the lever in the wrong position. I belongs at the large circle. The position you had it in only allows the transmission to shift 1st. & 2nd. . No third. . . .
My best friend's mom bought this exact iteration in '65. She was Top Dog with it.
Everyone was stunned by this car.
Nicest Landau I have seen. All the things listed could be fixed for $1500.
Someone is getting a nice ride.
No mention of the Silent Flow Ventalation System that vented fresh air under the rear window. It was a big feature.

Duke Wolf I just bought one. All original, 93,000 miles. all bills fun as all get out.
Yes, you'll see somebody already mentioned that earlier in the stream. Still, it's a good observation! Thanks, Jason Phillips, Michigan auto appraiser

She is beautiful looking i love 65 😍😍😍😍
I though in 1965 it came standard with disk brakes up front?
+Robert Bryant no, not in 1965. Ford T birds I think made disc standard in 1967, but I'm not positive. Somebody....a little help??
+AutoAppraise I was just going by what research I've been doing. not sure how accurate it is.

No it starts in second and goes to third on the small dot
Needs a few minor things fixed, but she's a beauty.
