1966 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop W/ 390 V-8 Engine on 2040-cars
Pittsford, New York, United States
|
Up for sale is a Nice Condition 1966 Ford Thunderbird 2-door Hardtop which my father bought while on vacation in 1978 in Naples, Florida. The car had belonged to the original owner who sold it due to her age at the time. Car had 80,317 miles at that time. I have the original paid invoice when she bought the car new. The car has been kept garaged year around here in Upstate NY, driven sparingly, and it has never been driven in snow. I inherited it in 1995, and have driven it very little, but held onto it for sentimental reasons. I’m hoping to find a car enthusiast who can really appreciate this car, put some work into it and take care of it. Now for my disclaimers: Please be aware that I have driven it VERY LITTLE and cannot say for certain what the car will need mechanically. It is being sold in “AS IS” condition. From the little that I’ve driven it, it has a smooth revving/running engine and transmission shifts smoothly. Last summer I took it in for an overall mechanical look-over, and had the following done: 1) new brake lines, 2) new fuel line, 3) brake booster replaced, 4) inspection of carb, but no work recommended., 5) front brake pads replaced. 6) new battery, 7) spark plugs and points replaced, 8) timing checked, 9) new master cylinder & right rear wheel cylinder, 10) parking brake check valve, 11) compression test. I have receipts for all work (over $2,000), as well as receipts for any work done on it since 1978. Features: 1) interior trunk lining fully restored, 2) tires were replaced and have very little wear, 3) car has never been in an accident, never been out in snow, 4) paint job except for the few chips mentioned is in Good condition (no rust), 5) chrome is in Good condition with very little pitting or oxidation, 6) radiator professionally re-cored and lower hose replaced in 1999, 7) original fender skirts and hub caps, 8) comes with breathable soft car cover for interior storage, 9) swing-away steering wheel, 10) sequential turn signal lights in rear, 11) Specialty license plate (66 T brd) could possibly be transferred to a NY buyer...not sure. I’ve included some pictures (including flaws mentioned) in this posting. I would gladly email more pictures to serious buyers. Again, this car is not in perfect condition and a true collector may want to have some things worked on. Non-refundable Down payment of $500 due at end of auction upon successful win. Buyer responsible for picking up. Car is also being advertised locally, and I reserve the right to cancel this offering at any time during its listing. |

Ford GT40 makes historic return to racing at Goodwood
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Is there a more iconic, American racecar than the Ford GT40? That may be a discussion for another day (although by all means, tell us how wrong we are in Comments), but this video of heaps of GT40s running in the Goodwood Revival races certainly has us thinking that Ford's Ferrari-killer might just be the best racer the Land Of The Free and Home Of The Brave has ever come up with.
That's completely ignoring the fact that the GT40 was largely developed by Brits using American money, but that's besides the point (there was also a rather brash Texan, who had a big role later in development). The resulting vehicle was dominant, besting the cars of Il Commendatore from 1966 to 1969, although it should be noted that Ford's GT40 was unable to beat Ferrari in its first two Le Mans outings in 1964 and 1965.
Those four years of dominance, which started with Ford sweeping the podium, were enough to establish the GT40's legend. And now, here we are almost 50 years later, celebrating the mid-engined monsters at Goodwood, in their first ever one-make race. Take a look below for the entire video.

Second part of Forza Horizon 3 car list revealed early
Tue, Jul 26 2016We previously brought you the first portion of Forza Horizon 3's list of 350 cars last week, and today we're bringing you part two. Apparently Fairfax Media in Australia had the list and images early and published them on The Sydney Morning Herald's website . We say early because the publication's story reveals that Playground Games, the developer of the game, plans to make the official announcement on the Forza website this Wednesday. This set of virtual machinery brings us closer to the full list, which will continue to be revealed over the coming weeks. While this part is smaller than the first one, it still features a number of notable automobiles, including the Bugatti EB110 Super Sport, GMC Syclone and Ferrari Dino 246 GT. This list also adds more vintage Aussie machines, including the very cool 1974 Holden "Sandman" HQ panel truck. Fans of the Mad Max movies may remember Max's Sandman truck from the original film. Check out the list of new cars from The Sydney Morning Herald below and take at look their article for new images and insight on what the developers' goals were for the game. 2007 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione 1970 AMC Rebel "The Machine" 1998 Aston Martin V8 Vantage V600 2011 Audi RS 5 Coupe 2011 BMW X5 M 1981 BMW M1 1992 Bugatti EB110 Super Sport 1970 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 1966 Chevrolet Nova Super Sport 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR 1969 Ferrari Dino 246 GT 1968 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 2011 Ferrari FF 1978 Ford Mustang II King Cobra 1956 Ford F-100 1991 GMC Syclone 2016 Holden Special Vehicles GTS Maloo 1951 Holden 50-2106 FX Ute 1974 Holden Sandman HQ panel van 2012 Infiniti IPL G Coupe 2015 Jaguar XFR-S 1997 Lamborghini Diablo SV 2014 Lamborghini Urus 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged 2005 Lotus Elise 111S 2013 Mazda MX-5 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II 2013 Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG 1999 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR 2000 Nissan Silvia Spec-R 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 2010 Renault Megane RS 250 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Related Video: News Source: The Sydney Morning HeraldImage Credit: Playground Games/Microsoft Auto News Bugatti Ford GMC Holden Technology video games forza motorsport forza horizon 3
