This came from.a thrift store missing parts and had some incorrect parts too,I had to get correct hubcaps as it had Pontiac 8 lugs and was missing the top, radiator and had a incorrect engine.  Left the paint alone and just done some detailing.

It looks like the top is not correct for this year but I like it,I was hoping to find a convertible top but the hard top will work.

I wasn't going to mention it Jeff but no, it was a '66 only thing on that series ['64-'66] of Thunderbirds.

But, it's pretty easy to make it into the regular top by cutting a strait line from the top of the window to the mold line just behind the door parallel to the rear edge of the roof and adding a strip of thin plastic for the rain gutter. 

I think it still looks fine though.

I have a unbuilt 65 kit and it has a convertible top and that is what I was wanting but the 66 top will do until I find one.
