This 1966 Ford Thunderbird Landau is originally from South Carolina.  It was purchased by a mechanic in Florida who did a wonderful re-painting, vinyl roof and engine work on the car...that is obvious.  I cannot verify the accuracy of the mileage.  He added new shocks, and tires, then I had the carburator re-built, replaced the belts and radiator hoses and the battery.  The car runs great, drives like a dream and gets compliments where ever I go.  There are no dents or scratches, just a small ding on the driver side.  The hub caps are new, I still have the boxes they came in, produced by Ford.  The trunk is clean and the liner in good shape.  The jack is all there, but I do not have a spare.  The body is solid, the engine strong and quiet and the transmission shifts smoothly.  There is some oil pan drip, but very little.   I started purchasing items to make this car show ready, yet realize I do not have the tools or the background to do it the way it should be done.  The interior is in good condition, yet needs further detail work.  So, as great as the outside of this car is, this is what you should know.  The air conditioning does not work, and needs the core replaced.  The compressor tested fine, and all hoses are in place.  The driver seat is split, and the foam in both front seats should be replaced.  I have replacement covers, replacement foam, and bull ring tool/kit to replace them. The seat package includes covers for the back seat as well.  The heat and air controls work, but should be checked and some seals replaced because the temperature does not change when moving from cold to hot.  The map light and one vent control do not work. I have new cables for them.  The wipers work, the dash lights all work, and the worm gear speedometer not only works but is just down right 'cool.'  The gas, temperature and alternator gauges work, but I believe the water temperature sending unit is out.  The console has a Kenwood replacement radio with power amplifier under the passenger seat. I actually purchased a replacement console as the console may have been cut to fit this radio.  I have a factory reproduction AM/FM radio/cassette unit with in-trunk 10 CD changer to go in the existing console, or the replacement console should the existing one prove to be cut  (I have not removed the face plate or radio to check).  The door panels have some cracking, and the decorative panels are somewhat faded, yet the chrome pieces are good.  I have replacement panels that require you to salvage the trim and decorative pieces.  I have also purchased new kick panels.  Where the fuse block is, that panel is cracked, so, I got an OEM re-made replacement.   I also purchased a replacement back deck as the mechanic also replaced the back speaker and used a speaker cover that is not true to the original car.  The roof liner is new, but the controls in the roof panel do not work. I also have a replacement screw kit for the interior.  Finally, I believe the drip pans that catch water that drops down the vent openings in front of  the wind shield allowing it to drain-out thru openings in the firewall  allow water to get into the car.  This should be sealed so water does not get into the car.  I believe I have covered everything.  If you are looking for a classic T Bird and love the style of this car like I do, and want to have someone do the final detail work or do it yourself, you will be hard pressed to find a better car.  Thank you for your interest and good luck bidding.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi hopes to fare thee well

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

New York City may have selected its taxi of tomorrow, but there are still plenty of municipalities across the US with citizens that depend on yellow livery cars to get them across town in a jiffy. That's why Ford is going ahead with this, the new Transit Connect Taxi.
Based on the 2014 Transit Connect, the TC Taxi boasts a number of features designed to make the compact van appeal to discerning taxi drivers and their fares, with the most notable upgrade being a standardized prep package to convert the 2.5-liter four to run on liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The clean-burning fuel options will allow operators to save on fuel costs and cut down on pollution without sacrificing performance.
A lower load floor and a new twist-beam rear suspension are meant to improve the riding experience for passengers, while the longer 2014 Transit Connect sports extra cargo space as well. In addition to the CNG/LPG conversion, the Transit Connect Taxi can also be easily modified for wheelchair access. Drivers, meanwhile, will have access to optional goodies like Sync with MyFord Touch and a rear-view camera.

Sunday Drive: Big debuts from the Big Apple dominated the headlines

Sun, Apr 1 2018

New York Auto Show week has come and gone, and, not surprisingly, the week's biggest bits of news came from the halls of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in NYC. Our favorite debut from New York was the Lincoln Aviator, a sharp-dresses crossover that looks lovely inside and out, and sits on underpinnings at least partly derived from the Ford Mustang. While the Aviator may have caught our attention, it wasn't the most popular vehicle debut from New York, at least when judging by the number of page views here on Autoblog. That distinction goes to the 2019 Toyota RAV4, and we're hardly surprised. The RAV4 is the most popular compact crossover in America (in fact it's the most popular vehicle that isn't a pickup truck), and the 2019 version looks like a radical departure from the model that came before. We can't wait to drive the thing. Midsize sedans may not be the darling of the family car set, that honor taken over by the aforementioned crossover, but they still sell in large enough numbers that a brand-new model catches our attention. Such is the case with the 2019 Nissan Altima. We broke down the specs of the Altima and compared Nissan's bread-and-butter sedan with its biggest rivals. And finally, we got some official figures for the 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt. It'll cost a cool $12,000 over the cost of a Mustang GT, and will benefit from a 480-horsepower, 420-pound-foot version of Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8 engine. As always, stay tuned this week for all the latest automotive news that's fit to print. 2018 New York Auto Show Mega Photo Gallery | Start spreading the news 2019 Toyota RAV4 actually looks pretty cool 2019 Nissan Altima vs Honda Accord vs Toyota Camry: How they compare 2019 Mustang Bullitt orders open as Ford reveals price and horsepower Image Credit: Drew Angerer/Getty New York Auto Show Ford Lincoln Nissan Toyota Coupe Crossover SUV Sedan 2018 new york auto show
