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 reserving 50th Anniversary Mustangs for service members

Tue, Dec 16 2014

Think getting your hands on one of the 1,964 50th Anniversary Ford Mustangs is hard as a civilian? Imagine how tough it might be for the Mustang fanatics in our nation's military. Perhaps recognizing this fact, Ford Emerging Market Services and the Overseas Military Sales Corporation (the only Ford-authorized retailer on the military's bases) ran a raffle, with the winners receiving the opportunity to purchase one of the limited-edition muscle cars. Ford EMS and OMS received 300 entries to the raffle, although with only eight 50th Anniversary Stangs to hand out, we imagine there were quite a lot of disappointed soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. "We are pleased to offer limited-edition anniversary Mustangs to members of our military through our Military Appreciation Program, and we are delighted at the response it's receiving," Doug Walczak, EMS' fleet sales manager, said. The first Mustang was delivered to Army Maj. Del Boyer, shown above. While Maj. Boyer took delivery in New York, the raffle was open to servicemembers both at home and abroad.

RTR Spec 5 Concept shows off 2015 Ford Mustang's drifty potential

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Meet the Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5 Concept, a fully functional drift car that, according to our team in Sin City, has been doling out demo drifts in front of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Destined to be the flagship of RTR's Tactical Performance Line, the Spec 5 Concept is, in addition to its 5.0-liter Aluminator V8 engine, chock full of performance parts that you can buy for your very own 2015 Mustang. In addition to the Ford Racing engine, the OEM parts supplier has lent the Spec 5 an aluminum radiator and a close-ratio six-speed transmission.
ASD Motorsports provided the front lower control arms, while the car itself rides on a fully customized coilover suspension. Magnaflow and American Racing have provided the exhaust system and headers, respectively. 20-inch HRE wheels, designed for RTR, are wrapped in sticky Nitto rubber.

Ford ready to install GE Wattstations at 60 locations in North America

Thu, Mar 20 2014

Upper-level Ford executives are sending mixed messages about the power of plug-in vehicles, but in the companies parking lots across North America, at least, the signal is clear: come on and charge your EV. Today, Ford and GE announced that the Blue Oval will be installing Wattstation chargers at its Dearborn HQ and will then add units at more than 60 locations across the US and Canada, including "offices, product development campuses and manufacturing facilities." If you're a Ford employee, then you get four hours of free charging a day. That should be plenty to top off any of the company's plug-in vehicles, even the Focus Electric, and the time limit encourages drivers to swap cars at lunch, because Ford wants to encourage charging station sharing and get more employees to plug in. Ford doesn't mention the DOE's Workplace Charging Challenge by name in the release (available below), but we suspect these Wattstations are part of that project. Ford was one of the founding members, joining the Workplace Charging Challenge on January 31, 2013. On that date, the Ford Motor Company and Ford dealers had over 1,750 charging stations installed on company/dealer property. Ford, GE WattStation Chargers Support Employee Electric Vehicle Charging Network Ford to install its first employee electric vehicle charging station network in Dearborn, Mich.; facilities across the United States and Canada to follow Ford will work with GE as its network provider and supplier of electric vehicle charging stations; networked stations will help Ford understand charging usage and plan for future installations Ford electrified vehicles have logged an estimated 65 million electric miles over the last 18 months. Ford now offers six electrified vehicles, including Focus Electric, C-MAX Energi and Fusion Energi plug-in hybrids, and C-MAX and Fusion hybrid vehicles Ford Motor Company in conjunction with GE, will supply vehicle charging stations at Ford facilities nationwide, beginning with facilities in and around its headquarters. The announcement continues the innovative cooperation begun more than 100 years ago between Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, co-founder of GE. This month, Ford will begin installing GE WattStation™ charging stations across its North American campuses, developing a workplace charging network at nearly every Ford facility in the United States and Canada.
