This 1966 Ford Thunderbird Landau is originally from South Carolina. It was purchased by a mechanic in Florida who did a wonderful re-painting, vinyl roof and engine work on the car...that is obvious. I cannot verify the accuracy of the mileage. He added new shocks, and tires, then I had the carburator re-built, replaced the belts and radiator hoses and the battery. The car runs great, drives like a dream and gets compliments where ever I go. There are no dents or scratches, just a small ding on the driver side. The hub caps are new, I still have the boxes they came in, produced by Ford. The trunk is clean and the liner in good shape. The jack is all there, but I do not have a spare. The body is solid, the engine strong and quiet and the transmission shifts smoothly. There is some oil pan drip, but very little. I started purchasing items to make this car show ready, yet realize I do not have the tools or the background to do it the way it should be done. The interior is in good condition, yet needs further detail work. So, as great as the outside of this car is, this is what you should know. The air conditioning does not work, and needs the core replaced. The compressor tested fine, and all hoses are in place. The driver seat is split, and the foam in both front seats should be replaced. I have replacement covers, replacement foam, and bull ring tool/kit to replace them. The seat package includes covers for the back seat as well. The heat and air controls work, but should be checked and some seals replaced because the temperature does not change when moving from cold to hot. The map light and one vent control do not work. I have new cables for them. The wipers work, the dash lights all work, and the worm gear speedometer not only works but is just down right 'cool.' The gas, temperature and alternator gauges work, but I believe the water temperature sending unit is out. The console has a Kenwood replacement radio with power amplifier under the passenger seat. I actually purchased a replacement console as the console may have been cut to fit this radio. I have a factory reproduction AM/FM radio/cassette unit with in-trunk 10 CD changer to go in the existing console, or the replacement console should the existing one prove to be cut (I have not removed the face plate or radio to check). The door panels have some cracking, and the decorative panels are somewhat faded, yet the chrome pieces are good. I have replacement panels that require you to salvage the trim and decorative pieces. I have also purchased new kick panels. Where the fuse block is, that panel is cracked, so, I got an OEM re-made replacement. I also purchased a replacement back deck as the mechanic also replaced the back speaker and used a speaker cover that is not true to the original car. The roof liner is new, but the controls in the roof panel do not work. I also have a replacement screw kit for the interior. Finally, I believe the drip pans that catch water that drops down the vent openings in front of the wind shield allowing it to drain-out thru openings in the firewall allow water to get into the car. This should be sealed so water does not get into the car. I believe I have covered everything. If you are looking for a classic T Bird and love the style of this car like I do, and want to have someone do the final detail work or do it yourself, you will be hard pressed to find a better car. Thank you for your interest and good luck bidding.

2015 Ford Mustang fuel economy ratings leaked
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Thinking about buying a new Mustang, but want to know what kind of fuel economy it'll get? Well we have our first indication as the pony-car enthusiasts over at Mustang6G.com have gotten a hold of the Monroney window stickers for a few of the new 2015 Mustang models.
Although the V8 model is not among them, we can now see how the EPA has rated those models with a half dozen pistons or less. The Mustang EcoBoost with the turbo four and a manual transmission has been rated at 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 on the highway. The V6 manual gets 17 city and 28 highway, while the V6 automatic squeezes out a bit more in the city at 19 mpg but carries the same 28 highway rating.
By way of comparison, the latest Chevy Camaro with the V6 and a stick shift gets the same 17/28 EPA rating as a similarly equipped new 'Stang, and the V6 automatic Camaro gets 18/27 (slightly behind the Ford, but if you opt for the Camaro 2LS with its V6, automatic and 2.92 rear axle ratio, you'll be looking at 19 and 30).
Jay Leno drives postcard-perfect '32 Ford Highboy Roadster
Mon, 25 Aug 2014At the turn of the century, it was arguably the Honda Civic that best defined inexpensive performance tuning, and in the '50s it was the Tri-5 Chevys. One of the earliest platforms to gain a huge following among young people looking for a cheap way to go fast was the classic '32 Ford Highboy Roadster. This week, Jay Leno's Garage looks at one of the very first vehicles that defined the look of the hot rod heyday.
This '32 Ford was built in the '40s and graced the cover of the fourth issue of Hot Rod Magazine back in 1948. All of the hot rods that you see shining at car shows today owe a serious debt of gratitude to this roadster. It bears all of the cues that define the look, including a notched frame and hidden door hinges. Under the three-piece hood is a flathead V8 boasting all sorts of period modifications, including copper cylinder heads. It was seriously fast in its era too, and proved it by reaching 112.21 miles per hour on a dry lakebed in 1947.
These days, this hot rod is on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Although, if you can't make it to California to see it, the United States Postal Service is celebrating this Ford with one of its two hot rod Forever stamps. Like Jay says in the video, in terms of hot rodding, "it all comes back to this." Check out the video to learn more about this rolling piece of tuning history.
NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles
Thu, Nov 27 2014US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.
