Rare 1966 Ford Thunderbird Q Code Car With 428ci/345 Hp Big Block on 2040-cars
Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States
This is not a Show Car
but a Super Cool Weekend Cruiser.
I am helping a Dr.
friend liquidate part of his car collection, as he is not longer able or
interested in enjoying and he wants someone else to enjoy (look for others to
come). He has owned the car for
7 years and did the following work sparing no expense by professionals: New
paint job with gold flake white color (beautiful); accent stripes, (2 slightly
different colors, that match the dash panels beautifully, new interior,
including headliner; complete exhaust system replaced; new brakes, new tires
and American Racing Wheels (perfect condition),
replaced the 4-barrel carb with after market Edelbrock (needs adjusting, and I
am in line with my mechanic to get that done, runs good at highway speeds, sluggish
when starting); Remote Pop-out door
openers (notice no handles) that are very nice. The car has rare electric
driver seat (manual passenger), and swing away steering wheel (easy entry
access). The power windows, even the power vent windows work great. All glass
is very good!
The car needs a new
trunk pad (available online for $115.00), and the radiator tank needs painting
(see pics) looks like it may not have been painted, or painted poorly. A couple
little nicks and a small piece if chrome trim around the passenger side head
light is missing ( I had not noticed this until a 74 yr old tire kicker who
spent 2 hrs with his magnifying glass pointed it out last weekend) and there is
a small scrape on the bumper
(got a little too close to his garage wall). The inside rear view mirror is
missing (arm is there) and the remote mirror on the drive door is cracked
(remote works good).
The car rides and drives
like a dream and has tons of power.
This car is not perfect
but a fantastic value, as you can cruise with it now (I have carried it out 3
times, and even my wife who hates old cars thinks it's "Hot".)
Classic Example of
Muscle and Luxury Indeed! The car is Beautiful, you will be impressed!
Please read this
carefully! If you have a feedback less than 20, don't bid unless you talk to
me. I will cancel and ban your bids. I learned the hard way (cost me $125 last
listing) that I can cancel your bid. If you are legitimate
and don't have to borrow the $$$ from your rich uncle or wait until your tax
refund comes in, we can deal. Do not show up and waste my time with a
silly low ball offer. If the car does not sell I am going to buy it
myself. My wife loves it, and I
have already made room for it.
I will try my best to
answer all your logical questions asap, so please contact me. The car is for sale
locally so I reserve the right to end the auction, so don't let it get away if
you want it!
Good Luck, thanks, steve in Chattanooga |

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.
Ford Everest Concept shows China also has an affinity for big trucks
Mon, 21 Apr 2014The Ford Everest Concept SUV at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show shows the future of the Blue Oval's truck line in China. While a concept for now, we're told that JMC, Ford's Chinese joint-venture partner, will build a production version sometime in the near future.
With design from Ford's Asia Pacific design team, the handsome seven-passenger SUV shows off some very muscular styling with wraparound headlights that hook into the contours of the angular trapezoidal grille. The beltline rises up the body in the rear and makes the back appear higher than the front. The rear is made from hard, chiseled contours that give the truck a very tough look. The Everest looks ready for some rough roads.
Ford is keeping the interior and mechanical details about the Everest a secret for now, but the SUV is rumored to share some components with the overseas Ranger pickup. The company has no plans to sell the truck in North America. Scroll down to read the official announcement, including the few details on its production.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
