Up for auction is a beautiful 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau with the optional, and very rare, Q code 428 V8 with a 4bbl and 7.0L of power.

I'm driving the car while the auction is running and it is a blast.  Lots of looks and Thumbs Up.  Questions at the gas station etc.

Big 428 engine runs smooth and the C6 shifts perfectly.  Car is on the same chassis as the Lincoln Continental was so the ride is very luxurious.

Interior is very cool, the theme of an airplane cockpit is very apparent and there are many styling cues that will give you some nostalgia.  I've had a couple friends in the car, and every one of them points out five or six different things that they "have never seen in another car before!" 

Power windows work, including the power A frame vent windows!  Steering wheel pushes out of the way so you can easily get in and out of the car!  Remember when you could easily fit into a two door vehicle?  

Taillights have the trick sequential feature that flashes the three bulbs in the direction you are turning.  Very Cool.

As nice as the car is, the engine compartment is even better.  Looks like it was freshly detailed.  The real hook is the engine and trans package for this car.  the "Q" in the vin designates the 428cu option for this year, it was less than $100 option and not many people took it.  Hard to believe.  In some other models, this would increase the value 10x, this car is being priced to sell so don't let it get away. Value will keep increasing over the years if you take as good of care as the previous owners have.

Things it needs:

- Headliner is starting to sag, will eventually need replaced

-Power locks don't hookup

-Chip in paint on the front left corner (see Pic)

This is a perfect car to drive, enjoy for as long as you want, and then resell for a profit!  Car is safe, freshly inspected and ready for a new home.  Please feel free to ask any questions.
