Offered here is a 1966 Thunderbird Tudor Coupe.  This body style has the rear quarter windows in it, which I like better than the Landau body style, which does not have them and hence the rear area looks fat.  They only made about 14,000 of these; the Landau was a lot more popular. I got this car as a project, but life has gotten in the way and it’s time to thin the herd.   


First impressions can be deceiving, and so it is with this car.  Think of it as a full scale plastic car model in the box.  I got the car from a retired mechanic who actually was factory trained on Thunderbirds back in the day.  He took out the engine, took it apart to rebuild it, and found it to be in such great shape inside that he just painted it and put it back together.  He also painted the engine compartment while it was out. The engine is a 390 and runs very well.  It has a $400.00 Edelbrock 4 barrel carburetor.  The car lot drives, and has a little bit of brake. The emergency brake works. The transmission shifts as it should, but I have not taken it up to speed.  The odometer shows a little over 50,00 miles, but I'd assume that it has turned over at least once.


I replaced the non AC dash with an AC dash and all the stuff inside it, except for the rubber conduit right behind the plenums; there are about 6 screws to put that in.  All of the wiring is there as far as I can tell, and the car comes with a factory wiring manual so you know where it goes.  It also comes with a factory service manual so you know how to do the rest of the car.


The body is in good shape, as is the frame.  It’s pretty much rest free on the outside, and the floor pans are solid, which is one of the reasons I bought it.  The underside of the hood has some rust, but its not structural and the hood works just fine, thought right now it is not attached to the hinges.  There is rust around the inside trunk lip, which does not show when the trunk is closed, and does not affect the working of the trunk lid. The trunk bottom is solid, and it comes with a towing hitch! The rest of the car is pretty solid.  All of the glass is good.


 All of the parts are there as far as I know, and more, as I got a parts car with it.  You get all of my 66 Tbird parts; I have a another pile that is not pictured. The interior is disassembled; it needs new carpet, and I did not want to put the interior back in it only for you to have to take it back out again to put in the carpet.  You can get a carpet set here on ebay for about $150.00. This car would make a great winter project car; put in the carpet, put in the interior, with a paint job in the spring to make it a really good cruiser.


 Terms of Sale:  The car is located in Blairs VA, near Danville Va. Car is sold as is where is, with all faults.  $300.00 Paypal nonrefundable earnest money required within 48 hours of sale, to cover expenses of sale.  Buyer must arrange shipping.

2014 Ford C-Max Energi plug-in hybrids get deep, deep discount

Thu, Feb 26 2015

Math-phobes may not appreciate all the price discounts available for potential buyers of the Ford C-Max Energi Plug-in Hybrid. For everyone else, though, break out the calculators and celebrate. Because the plug-ins, or at least the 2014 model-year versions, can be had for as much as a third off. How? Start with $4,000 bonus cash from Ford (double what it used to be) and add another $1,750 in dealer discounts, according to Cars Direct. Additionally, the feds will provide a $4,000 tax incentive, while shoppers in the great state of California might get another $1,500 in clean-vehicle rebates. Add them all up – oh, and another $1,000 thrown in by some dealers – and the MSRP of just under $34,000 gets brought down to less than $22,000 out of pocket. It makes that recent $900 price cut for the model seem pretty minor by comparison, doesn't it. Ford is looking to unload a bunch of 2014 model-year C-Max Energi models after sales, which started strong last year, tapered off in recent months. While Americans boosted C-Max Energi purchases by 18 percent last year to 8,433 units, that year-over-year sales gain had been 58 percent through last June. Meanwhile, January sales were down 16 percent to just 395 units.

Ford 3D-printing Mustang out of chocolate and candy for Valentine's Day

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

Is your beloved in love with the new 2015 Ford Mustang? Do they like chocolate (that's a trick question - everyone likes chocolate)? Are they a bit of a futurist? Then this Hallmark holiday, you need to get them this Ford Mustang, 3D-printed in sweet, delicious chocolate.
Ford is teaming with 3D Systems' Sugar Lab in LA to produce the super-accurate pony car confections in both chocolate and sugar candy varieties. The process kicked off with a CAD rendering of the 2015 Mustang, which was then programmed into the 3D printer. After a bit of work from the machine, a four-inch long, two-inch tall Mustang was the result. Why the tieup with 3D Systems, though?
"We wanted to create something fun to show that while 3D printing made these edible Mustangs, manufacturing-level 3D printing was used in the development of Ford's all-new sports car," said Paul Susalla, Ford's supervisor of 3D printing.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy

Tue, 07 May 2013

With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
