what i know about 1966 thunderbirds you could write on a postage stamp. so if you are reading this then i am sure you know way more than me about this kind of antique car.this old girl belongs to one of the guys that works for me and he has no computer so i am listing it on his behalf. so i encourage anyone interested to come see and drive it if at all possible. up for auction is this buck rogersmobile 1966 thunderbird sport coupe needing a little TLC. there is a clear south carolina title for the car. she has a great big REBUILT 390 ci V8 in her which starts up very easily and runs GREAT and has a couple of thousand miles on her since the rebuild. the engine sounds very healthy, the starter is a little on the sluggish side in my opinion. the old girl has a very good exhaust but it is VERY loud and need new donut gaskets to be fitted where the pipes join the manifolds. she has some great options and is fitted with SWING AWAY STEERING WHEEL, power windows and POWER VENT WINDOWS! power door locks,remote control drivers door mirror, overhead console, fender skirts and spinner hubcaps (only 3) factory A/C, power steering and power brakes. the windows were broken out by vandals. but all the glass has been bought to put in including a BRAND NEW WINDSHIELD still in the big box from the dealer. the windshield and back glass GASKETS ARE BRAND NEW! the back glass is in perfect condition and ready to put in. perfect used door glasses with frames also come with the car. the area around the back glass does have some rust out in a couple of spots about 6 inches long. these obviously need to be repaired but its all hidden once the new glass and gasket go in, please see the close up picture`s. the floor pans are all very SOLID. the rocker panels are also solid, very minor rust and thats it. there is evidence of some bondo down low by the rear wheel well`s but it must have been done years ago, see close up pictures. the trunk floor has had a repair done at some time in the distant past. but from underneath the inner quarter panels look good. the gas tank looks good also. the unibody frame rails all look very good. the underside lip of trunk lid looks good whereas the hood lip has some rust out which could be repaired easily enough in my opinion, see the pic`s. the 3 spinner hubcaps look very nice. the A/C is all complete and original as far as i can tell, i am sure its still on R12, but it may have been converted. some of the dashboard levers and so on will need to be lubed or maybe taken out and cleaned up as they are stiff or just don`t want to move, all easy kind of stuff that just takes a bit of time and elbow grease. the braces that run from the shock towers to the firewall need to be bolted back in, they are in the trunk. there are a number of parts in the trunk including the landau bars for the roof, see the picture of parts laid on the trunk lid. the drivers door panel is off and will need some help around the door pull area. its all small kinda stuff that needs done. the reserve is set low, to where my guy is only losing his shirt and not his first born child, LOL. right now the old girl will crank right up and drive around the yard or onto a trailer but she has not been on the road for a couple of years. in my opinion the buyer will need to trailer the car away. i can provide a shipping quote if you give me the town you live in and the zip code. i am not saying that the car could not be driven away but its not something i would do. for a start it is VERY VERY loud. if you have any questions, want to make an offer or need more pictures please email. or you can call me on 864 616 6860 up until 10 pm east coast time. shipping over sea`s is no problem at all and charleston port is only 4 hours east of me. i have already shipped antique cars to england, germany, sweden and australia. clear title in hand along with the original keys for the car. i am sure i am missing things here as i am not familiar with this kind of car so i encourage you to call or better yet stop by and see the car in person. any inspection is welcome and we can put her up on a lift for you so you can have a really good look underneath. FULL PAYMENT IN THREE DAYS. the ONLY methods of payment are CASH IN PERSON or a BANK WIRE TRANSFER. no other type of payment will be accepted and if you cannot comply with these simple terms then simply do not bid. thanks and good luck y`all. |

Ford offering factory-spec EcoBoost reflashes that don't void warranty*
Sat, Dec 27 2014Buy a supercharger or cold-air kit from Ford Racing and a Performance Calibration handset comes with it to reset the ECU for the upgrade. Now Ford Racing is offering the ProCal handset a la carte for $595, allowing you to reflash the ECU on your EcoBoost-equipped ride to extract more of its inherent capabilities without any additional upgrades. It gives you control of variables such as throttle response, idle speed and turbo wastegate control, among others. As for that warranty asterisk, the press release says enthusiasts can up the power "while maintaining the Ford-backed limited warranty." However Ford Motor Co. and Ford Racing are separate entities, and, best we can tell, when you reflash the ECU, your Ford warranty gets supplanted by the Ford Racing warranty. Say you bought a 2014 Ford, that means your five-year, 60,000-mile warranty becomes Ford Racing's three-year, 36,000-mile warranty, if we're reading the fine print correctly. If you have an older car and have driven more than 36,000 miles, then your warranty options are kaput, at least as far as a Ford in-house option. If have warranty concerns, you might also want to consider having a dealer perform the reflash, or at least ask about it. Once you've got past the small print, what about the numbers? At the moment Ford Racing offers tunes for the 2.0-liter EcoBoost in the Focus ST and the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the Fiesta ST, and we're told there's a 90-pound-foot boost in torque at the crank after you've pressed the right buttons. Anecdotal evidence from a commenter at Road & Track says he went from 252 horsepower at the flywheel to 254 hp at the wheels, and 272 lb-ft at the flywheel to 354 lb-ft at the wheels, but we can't be sure that his adjustments were within Ford Racing specs. Your mileage, naturally, may vary. What about custom numbers for the 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the 2015 Ford Mustang? They aren't ready yet, but we're told we'll get something by the end of next year.

Europe's most-wanted classic car is... the Ford Mustang?
Sat, 28 Sep 2013Over the span of its 49 years and five generations, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts in the US, but, as it turns out, this car is also very popular amongst European car lovers. Earlier this summer, AutoScout24 - a new and used car shopping site in Europe - polled around 75,000 European "car lovers" (not sure how they vetted the respondents) to see which cars were the most popular, and the Mustang came out on top over iconic European classics like the BMW M1 and Volkswagen Beetle.
In the whole of Europe, 37 percent of those polled dream of owning a Mustang, but that number jumps in individual countries like Austria (42 percent) and Spain (41 percent). Rounding out the top five popular classics in Europe are the Mini and Citroën 2CV. Find out which cars made up the rest of the top 10 in the press release posted below.
Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.
