Your looking at a very nice condition 1966 Ford Thunderbird Landau edition with some minor customizations. Over all condition is very good. A great Saturday night cruiser or a great day at a car show,thats what Ive been doing with it for the past 10 years but its time for something new.
She starts easy and runs all days smooth and straight. She always turns heads and starts conversations everywhere I go. I bought this 10 years ago from my uncle who bought it from his father so to my knowledge I'm the 3rd owner and the millage is original. In the last 10 years Ive only put about 2000 miles on it going to local car shows and an occasional date night,other then that shes kept in my garage and hasnt seen rain or salty roads since Ive owned it. It runs smooth and consistent every time I take it out and it even has a fair amount of power and breaks the tires loose on occasion. Shes heavy but still has a lot of power left in the big 390. If you look at the pictures you TBird buffs will notice some cosmetic differences then what a stock Landau would have. Most noticeably are the round rear windows like a 55' TBird has. The rear decorative "S" shaped stock trim was removed (I have the original trim in the trunk) and round windows from a 55' Tbird were custom installed to give it a bit of a 55' look. This is one of the coolest and most unique touches that this car has and Ive never seen that done on any other bird. You will also notice the absence of the fender skirts on the rear wells that most models of this year had. This car was made with the trim package instead if the skirts,a rare option on this year. Those are not the original hub cabs either (I have the original hubcaps in the trunk). I believe these hubcaps are from a 1990 Thunderbird but they work so well why change it back. Some other mechanical upgrades have been made to make it more "drivable" on a regular basis and some just for maintenance purposes. *Stock points were removed and replaced with a MSD ignition. *Stock 2 barrel carb was replaced with Holly 4 Barrel carb. *Dual exhaust all the way back with chrome tips. *Stock single piston calipers were removed and replaced with Mustang 2 piston calipers. *Gas lines and brake lines were replaced. *Front end ball joints and bushings were replaced. *paint was resprayed at some point. original color. THIS IS A NON AC CAR but has every other option. POWER EVERYTHING including power seats and side tilt steering wheel. This car isnt perfect and I will list its problems to the best of my ability. *the heater coil is blown out so theres no heat. I only drive the car in the summer so this was never a problem. the heater coil was bypassed to avoid leaking into the cabin. *the floorboards are starting to rot out and have a small hole and will probably need to be replaced to make this care perfect. *The radiator has a very small leak somewhere but usually isnt an issue. I just check the level and add whatever is missing. Usually about a cup worth if you drive it all weekend. MINOR *some minor dings and scratches on the surface but the body and paint are in good condition. *minor oil leak (usually a few drops in the garage floor from when it sits for a while. VERY MINOR *Stock clock stopped working *Window weather stripping is dry rotted and needs to be replaced for cosmetic purposes. *the door panels are a bit weathered and cracked *some minor pitting of chrome parts but this is expected from a 50 year old car. Other then what I listed everything works perfectly. All Guages and bells and whistles still work. Shes a buy and drive home kind of car. Runs and Drives perfect!!! I CAN SEND MORE PICTURES FOR SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY!!! GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING!!! |

Ford announces 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Ford has pulled the wraps off its anticipated 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition model, a new variant of the popular street-legal off-road specialist. In a nutshell, the "special" is all cosmetic - there are no mechanical upgrades to the truck and its 6.2-liter V8 (411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque), Torsen limited-slip differential, beadlock-capable wheels and internal triple-bypass FOX Racing Shox dampers all remain untouched.
The SVT Raptor Special Edition, which adds cosmetic enhancements to the existing Luxury Package, will be offered in Ruby Red Metallic and Tuxedo Black Metallic with box-side graphics. The interior upgrades include Brick Red seat bolsters (with black inserts), cloth honeycomb highlights and a console top finish panel.
As of now, Ford has only release a couple pictures of the Special Edition model. But check back later, as we will update the gallery when additional high-res images are released later today, and be sure to peruse the press release below for all the details.
Forza Horizon 3 adds Ford Police Interceptor, Jeep CJ5
Tue, Oct 4 2016We're only a few weeks past the debut of Forza Horizon 3, and already the folks at Turn 10 are introducing the first of six car packs for the open-world driving game. Focused heavily on performance, there are still a few, um, oddballs, including one we're sure Forza's livery customizers will have a blast with. The Smoking Tire Car Pack brings seven new vehicles to FH3, with the Aston Martin Vulcan, Pagani Huayra BC, GTA Spano, Lotus 340R, and BMW M2 repping traditional performance vehicles. As per usual, FH3 renders each car beautifully and promises a solid approximation of real-world performance – even if you do ditch the roads and opt to rampage through the Australian countryside. While performance is good, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and the Jeep CJ5 Renegade bring an off-beat vibe to this particular pack. We aren't certain, but this might be the first time the Police Interceptor appears in a blockbuster driving game. While we expect plenty of police car liveries for the Crown Vic, Forza's rabid community of tuners and customizers are sure to do much more with it. As for the CJ5, is there a better vehicle for tooling about Australia? Yeah, we didn't think so. The Smoking Tire Car Pack is available for free as part of the Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition or Car Pass program. Commitment-phobes can also download this single vehicle pack for $7.

Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors
Wed, 13 Mar 2013The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.
