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. |

Ford bringing production F-150 to Detroit with Atlas styling and Alcoa blast shields
Fri, 27 Dec 2013According to a report in Bloomberg, the 2015 Ford F-150 will indeed be showing up at the Detroit Auto Show next month. It will bring attitude with it, not only in the form of sheetmetal inspired by the Atlas concept (pictured) that appeared at the 2013 Detroit show but also in the Alcoa military blast shields among the display being used to showcase the ruggedness of aluminum.
There's been a lot of talk about the F-150 switching to aluminum body panels (although maintaining a steel frame), and for good reason. The lightweight body is expected to shed more than 700 pounds and greatly increase its highway mileage, but production-line issues and possible delays have been a major focus of attention concerning the best-selling vehicle in America for 32 years, meaning Ford has to get it right. F-150 is responsible for a massive portion of the company's global profits and it will come in a year when company profits are already predicted to decline because of new car launches.
When it comes to dings, the Bloomberg story says Ford wants Alcoa to supply some of the military-grade aluminum it uses for blast shields on battlefield vehicles to help it talk up the toughness of aluminum. Reading commentary on the many stories about the F-150 reveals there are many more little questions about the aluminum overhaul, like "How much will it cost to repair and insure?" and "How will companies hang their magnetic signs?" Answers should start coming in a couple of weeks.
Ford cranks up '32 Ford body production
Tue, 14 Jan 2014If you're going to build your own hot rod, you'll want to start with a '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe. Favored by American servicemen returning from World War II, the '32 Ford remains the very icon of the hot rod to this day. The trouble is there were only so many of them made in the first place, and finding one today can be a challenge. That's where reproduction models come in.
The aftermarket is replete with companies that will sell you a fiberglass body in the form of a '32 Ford coupe, but quality can be hit or miss. So to help meet demand among hot rod builders and enthusiasts, Ford has teamed up with United Pacific Industries to offer officially licensed body shells.
Announced at the SEMA show in November, the '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe body is made from stamped steel according to original specifications from original machinery where possible or reproduced machinery built to the same original specifications where necessary. The bodies are ready to accept vintage powertrains or crate motors from the Ford Racing catalog, and join the 9,000 other parts offered in the Ford Component Sales catalog - including similar reproduction bodies available for the 1965-70 Mustang and 1940 Ford Coupe. From there, the proverbial sky's the limit.
