This is a 1966 Thunderbird Convertible that needs total restoration and is not running, nor will it run without extensive work. This is a "barn find" that came back into the real world summer 2013 after sitting in a barn since around 1978. Has 1977 NC plate still on it. I got it from a guy who was helping his 85 year old friend dispose of his projects he could no longer work on. I'm describing as it really is and not sugar-coating. You know what these cars are, that they don't come up all that much un-restored, even in bad condition anymore, how bad they can rust, and what it takes to restore one. Obviously rough from storage. This car is NOT a rust-bucket, but it does have some isolated trouble areas, not due to road salt or weather-related corrosion, but animal nest chemical attack on the metal. The quarters, wheelhouses, outer rockers and 85 percent of the metal body structure are all SOLID. There might be a pinhole or two in the quarters, but they are amazing, and I do not see any bad areas where the outer wheelhouses meet the lip or where the trunk drops meet the lower edge. The rear floors and driver front floor are still strong enough to support me, 250 lbs. The passenger front floor is bad and will need replaced, along with a portion of the inner rocker vertical wall and the seat support structure, also mentioned below.The doors are very solid, you will not need to replace. Driver front fender is solid, no issues, you will find it easily usable. I have installed a very nice hood I got along with this car, solid and usable. The original hood was crunched slightly at the front, not fixable. Passenger fender on the car is a temporary one, best I had access to right now. You will need to find a passenger front fender. Trunk lid has some rust in the rear underside corners. Trunk floor is mostly solid, but does have some weak and rust through areas, and it is pushed "up" in an area near the front. The convertible "package tray" is rusty and will need reworked. The trunk metalwork under the front edge near where the jackscrews are has some rust, both sides. Photo's show all of the BAD spots. I pulled all of the seats out as they were terrible. As mentioned above the structure area where the seats bolt down is rusted on both sides. The metal is literally rusted away from an animal nest that was under both seats. The seat frames were disintegrated from all of this mess as well. Various other SMALL areas are rusted in the interior structure area due to animal nests. The trunk is open, kind of unusual on these, but thankfully the previous owner opened it some time way back and disconnected the hydraulic cylinders. Otherwise you usually find these cars with destroyed trunk lids, because most people do not know how to get into one. Underhood "apron" and shock tower areas are solid, except the battery area of course. Top frame is all there, some of these pieces near the windshield header have some rust, may need reworking. Really, really surprising is that the dash pad is nearly perfect. Can't explain that. It's a 428 car, as you know by the VIN "Q". Engine is stuck though, will not turn over. Don't know if it's the Wixom-original factory installed engine or not, but probably. If it is, it will need total rebuild. The engine is complete, down to the carb, but the alternator is missing. Manual windows, NO AC. Will need all interior replaced. I have some rear seats similar color. I have the front seats for the trim panels, lower track/frame is disintegrated. I have a clear NC title in my name. Stored inside since I got it, and while it was for sale after removal from the barn. Has not been outside. I think I've covered everything. Selling as is.You must arrange transport, I will assist and give access once it's paid for. On payment, I need a minimum deposit of $800 immediately on the "Buy It Now", or pay it all. I will give you 10 days to pay for it, three weeks to come get it, but can work with you if you pay storage I'm paying. Car is stored within about 5 miles of the intersection of I95 and I40 near Benson/Four Oaks, NC. Come look at it, or send your representative, I'm telling it like it is and welcome your viewing. Thanks for looking. My name is Jeff. |

A hybrid and electric Corvette, plus we drive the Ioniq 5 | Autoblog Podcast #728
Fri, May 6 2022In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. Zac drove the electric 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Greg drove the fire-breathing 2022 Maserati Levante Trofeo. The two dive deep into the relatively heavy news week by starting off with a discussion about the upcoming hybrid Corvette before chatting about what the electric Corvette might be like. They have a chat about the possibility of Porsche and Audi officially joining the Formula 1 field. Then, Greg and Zac get into some quick-hitting news to round out the segment by dissecting the updated Kia Soul (now without a turbo), the 30th Anniversary Edition Land Rover Defender and the new CEO at Aston Martin. Following the news and drive reviews, they rope in Senior Editor, Green John Beltz Snyder to give them a quick download of what went down at the first drive for the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning. Finally, they reach into the mailbag and answer some questions from someone who is less than pleased about infotainment systems in some new cars. And lastly, the gang hears back from someone they helped out in a prior Spend My Money segment on the podcast. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

Ford Fusion getting substantial refresh for 2017
Wed, 13 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of years since Ford rolled out the current Fusion, but if these spy shots are anything to go by, it's already planning what appears to be a substantial update for the mid-size sedan.
According to our paparazzi on the ground, the new Fusion is being prepared for launch late in 2016 or early 2017. Although heavily camouflaged to keep it from prying eyes such as ours, it appears that the updated Fusion will tone down the Aston Martin-style grille, ditch the small corner window with revised front side glass and tweak the vehicle's overall shape. But there's more to the new Fusion than a styling adjustment, and our spy photographers have caught a glimpse inside and taken us along.
Apparently the new Fusion is to get a completely overhauled interior with soft-touch surfaces and matte wood trim to make it seem more upscale. There's an all-new rotary gear selector (like you'd find on a Jaguar, for example) hinting at the implementation of a new nine-speed automatic transmission. The prototype appears to be packing the Microsoft SYNC system, suggesting that the new Blackberry QNX system isn't ready quite yet - though that doesn't necessarily mean it won't be ready by the time the new Fusion is.
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible ships in time for holiday gift giving
Wed, Dec 10 2014Looking for the ultimate present to put under the tree for that special someone? Well it might not fit in your living room or in a stocking, but the keys to a new Mustang convertible ought to do the trick. That's right, Ford has begun shipping the new drop-top pony car just in time for the holidays. Taking delivery of a convertible might not make the most sense in some climates, but those in southern states will undoubtedly enjoy the top-down experience to ring in the new year. And for those stuck in snowier climes, Ford is keen to point out that the new Mustang convertible is available with features like heated seats, remote start and a snow/wet setting among the selectable drive modes. As with the coupe, the new Mustang convertible can be had with the base 3.7-liter V6, the optional 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbo four or the top-of-the-line 5.0-liter V8. For the time being, though, the 500+ horsepower Shelby GT350 is available only in coupe form.

"Cold weather may have come unseasonably early this year, but with available heated seats, remote start and selectable drive modes with a snow/wet setting, Mustang is the perfect offering for the season," said Melanie Banker, Mustang brand manager. Heated seats, standard on all premium Mustang convertibles, allow the driver and front passenger to stay warm even when the temperature drops. "While these seats also have a cooling feature, we suspect customers won't be using this function for a few more months," said Banker. Remote start, standard on all automatic-transmission Mustang models, allows customers to fire up their drop-top from the comfort of their home, even in inclement weather conditions. When remote start is used, Mustang not only warms up its engine, it also warms the interior of the car to a comfortable temperature.
