For Sale my 1966 Thunderbird Convertible. I purchased this car in early 1990's My grandfather and I did the restoration. My grandfather was a retired master mechanic for the state of SC. At the time I purchased this car I owned 3 thunderbirds, a '68 GT fastback mustang ("S" code big block car), a 1964 F100, and a Harley. I sold everything except for my first car (1963 Tbird) and this convertible. I sold my Mustang in 2000 thinking a fastback mustang is easier to find than a convertible thunderbird. Now I have three children with one in college, one in diapers and one in between and it is time to make a choice.

I am keeping my first car 1963 Tbird and selling my convertible. Ok enough history, now on to the car.

1966 Thunderbird Convertible. car has less than 100k miles, less than 4000 miles on rebuilt motor including new 30 over forged pistons and a small crane cam. the valves do not have hardened seats we didn't have the knowledge of the lead free gas. the heads on the car have the rounded combustion chambers that give you a little more power. The rest is basically stock. I did not put anything crazy in the car it was going to be just a cruiser. had new dual exhaust, new michelin tires (now dry rotting) new water pump, alternator, brake booster, and rebuilt transmission all low mileage now but twenty years old. The car cranks up and runs. I could not find the spark plugs for the car they are no longer available. (these are the resistor type to keep your radio from humming) You can still get spark plugs for the car just the ones I have in it are obsolete.

I drove the car around the neighborhood carefully (needs brakes bled one rear caliper sticky too) The car has basically been outside for the last ten years other than when I bring it in from time to time to tinker with it. I had planned on putting it back together and driving it ratrod style. I guess I need to get to the reason I parked the car in the first place. We painted the car because it wasn't in bad shape when I bought it. It was Wimbledon White too plain for a convertible. We painted it a custom metallic red almost a watermelon color. The paint orange peeled and never really shined. I eventually met a very talented paint and body man who did some fantastic work in town. I made one huge mistake...paying a man before the job is done. He skipped town after stripping down my car and several other people were cheated out of their money too. I decided I was going to try painting the car again but never got around to it.

All of the convertible top parts are there the flip tray motor is broken. I disconnected the main cylinders and have a switch to control the trunk screws. I never repaired the top due to being able to raise and lower by myself. It is real easy with two people.

I will answer any questions and update this information as needed. I will have the car for sale locally although there doesn't seem to be much money around here. If it sells I will end the auction so please bid if you are interested.

Thanks for looking.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

Ford is building this sweet back-to-basics SUV in Brazil

Mon, 02 Jun 2014

We're use to forbidden fruit teasing us in Europe. Hatchbacks and diesels from Renault, Citroën, Peugeot, Skoda, SEAT and Alfa Romeo have been a regular torment that we've grown accustomed to over the years. This vehicle, though, is one piece of forbidden fruit we aren't entirely sure we can get over. We need it.
It's called the Ford Troller T4, and if you accidentally read that as either "reborn Ford Bronco" or "Americanized Land Rover Defender," we wouldn't be rushing to correct you. It's a basic, badass SUV, and is the first new vehicle to come from Troller since Ford gobbled it up in 2007. For those with longer memories, you'll recognize this vehicle from the concept that preceded it, the Ford T-R Concept. The production model remains remarkably true to the T-R, as well as past Trollers, but it's a slightly more modern look overall, with LED taillights, contrasting colors
You'll have to bear with us on the details, as we've been forced to rely on the notoriously literal Google Translate to convert the original Portuguese into English, which means some of the details were lost along the way.
