Offered for sale is this nice original 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau Edition with 89k Original Miles. It is not a $1500.00 or $15,000 dollar car, If seeking perfection than it may be a good idea to check cars in the $12,000 and Up range. It's had a lot of care and money invested in maintenance to it, over a car with shiny new paint possibly hiding rust and filler and not running or running right. We planned to keep it but also own a 1962 and choosing between the two, we would like to keep our Bullet Bird. The main reason for selling is we no longer have room for it in the garage and don't want to keep it outside. It is originally from California and included is the 1966 Black and Yellow California Plates and Dealer Frame from Marquis Motors of Mission Viejo. It also has the Owner's Manual. We have lost track of some of the receipts that came with the car, but I have most of the recent ones (see photos) that add up to quite some money spent on an Entire New Brake System, This Includes The Proportioning Valve, Wheel Bearing Repack, Seals, Tie Rod Ends, Rear Differential, Transmission Service Including Pan Gasket Seal, Alternator, Belts and Hoses, Thermostat and Coolant Temperature Sensor, Headlight Switch, All Tail Light Bulbs Replaced, Battery and Tires Are One Year Old with about 96 Percent Tread. I am not going to give you the Little Old Lady Who Drove It Only On Sundays Story because that would be B.S. Although it has low mileage and we are the 3rd Owners. The Previous Owner drove it less than 800 miles over the course of about the last 3 years of ownership. Clear and Clean Washington Title In My Name, Registered as a Collector Car No Tabs Ever Again in This State. 390 V-8 Starts every time and very easily with No Smoke and No Ponds Of Fluids Underneath. Glass and Seals are Good, The Gauges, Dash Lights Instruments, Original AM Radio Work, Manual Windows and Seats function as do Wipers, and Door Lock Button On Console. To make it really nice I would say a Paint Job (above the driver's side rear wheel skirt some clown scraped it when parked in Downtown Seattle and it was fixed, that is shown in a picture) fix the small tears to the driver's seat and some adhesive on the headliner, also the horn isn't working..noticed a couple fuses missing and I have one of those T Levers that's out of the console in the Glove Box, and the Swing-Away part of the steering is not doing that so the steering stays in the driving position, just some small things, but this ride is ready to go, Drive it Home it's runs and shifts the way it should, or I can work with you on your choice of Shipping Co. getting it to you, from my door to yours or I can get it to a Shipping Co. of your choice. We really don't have to sell it and again I am not entertaining $1500.00 offers and have posted it with a low and reasonable reserve. To find something like this for less than $5000.00 you can probably find it on Craigslist sitting in a back yard for 10 years with the old "It Ran When It Was Parked" story. So If You are looking for a classy ride for not too much money that is a driver than here it is, and remember it comes with receipts from shops for a lot of work done, not a "Shade Tree Mechanic". Only posting it this one time, if it doesn't sell more than likely it gets what it needs and stored properly.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.
We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA
Tue, 04 Nov 2014As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.
