1966 FORD THUNDERBIRD CONVERTIBLE


I am listing a 1966 Ford Thunderbird convertible. I purchased this bird and a 64 bird from an estate. The gentleman had 7 of these cars and the two I purchased are convertibles. I will have the 64 listed later in the week.  This bird is a solid no rust car with all original sheet metal. It has a 390 cid engine with a 4bbl carb., cruise-o-matic automatic transmission, 3.00 rear end gears, power steering, power disc brakes (front), dual exhaust, power windows, power driver seat, power top, radio with front and rear speaker, wiper with washers, and front and rear seat belts. The paint trim code is E, Silver Mink metallic, interior trim code is 21, silver blue. It has a white soft top in good condition that operates properly and a sportster tonneau cover . It has the original jack, spare has been used but is all there. Original trunk interior, has original inspection stamps under deck lid in two places, has all original glass including the windshield (no cracks or delamination). Has original wheel covers but has wire wheel simulators on it now. Comes with the original owners manual with build sheet. These are great looking cars with the tonneau covers and one of the best driving classic cars you can buy. You can not get into the collector car hobby and have a good quality car for much less than these birds. There price has never taken off yet, I feel these are some of the best cars for the buck.  

 This bird has been well maintained through the years. It has had one repaint back to original color of silver mink with basecoat/clear coat paint. The engine bay has been detailed and it has new Fomoco Ford hoses, belts, plugs, wires, air cleaner, oil and filter, and antifreeze. It has 4 new American Classic radial tires, new shocks, new front springs, new top motor, pump and lines. The sequential tail lights work perfect, all of the other lights work as well, even the door interior lights, dome, and trunk. The drivers door panel has a bad spot around the pull cup area( see pic in photobucket) and the driver seat has two bad spots (see pic in photobucket) these can be fixed by a vinyl repair person. The rest of the interior is very clean, the carpet is nice and original with no wear. It could be dyed and look new again. (It is sun faded). The under carriage is very solid, the rocker and quarter panels have no rust, under the doors is clean and solid as well.

 This is one of the best driving cars that I have driven lately. You can fly in and drive this one back home if you wanted. I am in Wentzville, Mo. 35 miles west of St.Louis. The car is showing 57,700 miles which I believe to be original. I have no documentation so I am selling it as exempt on the miles. There is no warranty, as is-where is. I require a $1,000.00 deposit at the end of auction. I need to be paid within 7 days of close auction. I can keep the car until transport is arranged or you pick it up as long as  it paid for within 7 days. I can also help arrange shipping for you. I am available almost any time for inspection and test drive. My name is Greg (806) 477-2201.   Please see all additional pictures in photobucket. Sorry ebay won't let me put the link in any more. You can send me a question and I will attach it to your mail. Thanks, Greg  

Thanks for viewing my auction and good luck. Also check out the inventory at Vintage Autohaus and Imports in Amarillo, Tx. @ vaitx.com

Ford's official Euro aftermarket partner Mountune coming to US

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Now that we're getting a steady stream of Ford's European offerings, the aftermarket world is finally starting to catch up as well. UK-based aftermarket tuning company, Mountune has just announced that it will be setting up shop in California to provide high-performance and racing parts for Ford vehicles including the Focus ST and Fiesta ST.
Mountune lays claim to being Ford's "official European tuning partner," and US buyers will soon have access to these parts through Ford dealerships and with a Ford Racing warranty. Speaking of Ford Racing, Mountune also says that it will be working with Ford's in-house team to develop future components for both street and track. There are no specifics as of yet for which products will be offered here, but the company plans to launch a US-specific website later this month with more information.

Ford Focus ST diesel estate in track showdown with Focus ST hatch

Sun, Jan 18 2015

Diesel hot hatches are still a concept that's gaining ground. Obviously, there are none for sale in the US, but European buyers have the choice of at least the Volkswagen Golf GTD and Ford Focus ST Diesel. What better way to find out how the new, high-performance oil-burner really stacks up than for Ford to stage a race against the gasoline-fueled Focus ST? On paper, the ST Diesel is at a big performance detriment here. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder makes 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque compared to 247 hp and 266 lb-ft for the gas version in this race. However while not a factor for this race, the oil-burner does offer better fuel economy and produces less CO2, which makes a difference for European buyers. Ford skews the race results by giving the ST Diesel Estate a two-second head start for this one-lap battle around the Castle Combe Circuit. Also, this is a video from the Blue Oval, which is going to further minimize the appearance of weakness for its vehicles. Still, both STs really get to show off their strengths, and it's worth seeing how the sibling rivalry shakes out at the finish line.

Ford offering factory-spec EcoBoost reflashes that don't void warranty*

Sat, Dec 27 2014

Buy a supercharger or cold-air kit from Ford Racing and a Performance Calibration handset comes with it to reset the ECU for the upgrade. Now Ford Racing is offering the ProCal handset a la carte for $595, allowing you to reflash the ECU on your EcoBoost-equipped ride to extract more of its inherent capabilities without any additional upgrades. It gives you control of variables such as throttle response, idle speed and turbo wastegate control, among others. As for that warranty asterisk, the press release says enthusiasts can up the power "while maintaining the Ford-backed limited warranty." However Ford Motor Co. and Ford Racing are separate entities, and, best we can tell, when you reflash the ECU, your Ford warranty gets supplanted by the Ford Racing warranty. Say you bought a 2014 Ford, that means your five-year, 60,000-mile warranty becomes Ford Racing's three-year, 36,000-mile warranty, if we're reading the fine print correctly. If you have an older car and have driven more than 36,000 miles, then your warranty options are kaput, at least as far as a Ford in-house option. If have warranty concerns, you might also want to consider having a dealer perform the reflash, or at least ask about it. Once you've got past the small print, what about the numbers? At the moment Ford Racing offers tunes for the 2.0-liter EcoBoost in the Focus ST and the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the Fiesta ST, and we're told there's a 90-pound-foot boost in torque at the crank after you've pressed the right buttons. Anecdotal evidence from a commenter at Road & Track says he went from 252 horsepower at the flywheel to 254 hp at the wheels, and 272 lb-ft at the flywheel to 354 lb-ft at the wheels, but we can't be sure that his adjustments were within Ford Racing specs. Your mileage, naturally, may vary. What about custom numbers for the 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the 2015 Ford Mustang? They aren't ready yet, but we're told we'll get something by the end of next year.
