The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The car looks and drives great with its fully automatic and functional convertible top! Like any classic and mostly unrestored car it has some minor paint chipping and cracking, wear, and rust in a few places, though nothing too significant. Just to note, I have brand new window motors for the right front and rear windows, but they unfortunately keep going on and off, as it is likely a wiring issue of some sort. Aside from that this Tbird is running well and looks spectacular. It is ready to be a daily driver or with a bit of work and time it could be a nice and proper show car,"

Hi! I am currently selling my vintage 1966 Ford Thunderbird Convertible, which I have had now for several years. The vehicle is charm to drive and looks great, always turning heads where ever it goes. The vehicle is finished in Ford's vintage burgundy metallic with a matching leather interior, and optional tourneau to cover the back seat. In addition it has both a fully functioning and automatic black convertible top and mesmerizing sequential rear brake lights. The vehicle's engine was refurbished by its previous and original owner, and has had virtually no issues since my purchase and for this reason I pay very little attention to the odometer which currently reads at around 200k miles, thought it is really more like 15-20k miles on this newer refurbished motor. The engine itself is a 390cid (z-code) 8-cylinder block with 315bhb to go along with a surprisingly fun 3-speed automatic transmission that features multiple drive modes. The Thunderbird rides on 15" white wall tube tires with Kelsey Hayes chrome wire wheels, and has a professionally reconstructed undercarriage & added hydraulic suspension which was built to look like the original and is virtually indistinguishable to even the eyes of Thunderbird fanatics. This hydraulic suspension can be inflated to adjust the vehicles ground clearance for various purposes. For the sake of practicality some other small alterations have been made to the vehicle. These include: the removal of a non-functioning radiator, a manual tender switch for the battery, a replacement two-barrel carburetor for improved fuel economy, and lastly a 12-speaker Alpine remote controlled, hideaway sound system under the front passenger seat which features AM/FM radio, CD player, and auxiliary integration for iPods and etc. Lastly, I have a complete history of the vehicle since it has been in my possession containing all necessary and relevant information. Though I consider myself to be quite well versed in the world of cars, I am not the original owner of this vehicle and because of its long history there may be some things that I have not been or am not aware of. Please feel free to message me with questions and I will do my best to answer them! Serious buyers only please, thanks!



PS: I will do my best to post some additional pictures of the vehicle with the top down and the tourneau on and off when the weather is more permitting!

Ford drops Focus RS teaser ahead of Feb 3 reveal

Wed, Jan 21 2015

Ford is trying to get us hyped for the unveiling of the latest Focus RS on February 3 with this new video teaser. The clip showcases the hot hatch doing some big slides in the wet and dry during testing in Europe and the US, and it definitely makes us even more curious about what the Blue Oval has in store with the RS. Even in this short teaser, Ford continues to dress the more aggressive nose of the Focus RS in camouflage, like the previous test cars. Unfortunately, what's going on under all of that concealment remains a bit of a mystery. Rumors suggest the RS likely uses a tuned version of the Blue Oval's 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder estimated to make between 325 and 350 horsepower. A speculated torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system should keep fears of torque steer at bay, and larger brakes on the test mules indicate that bringing it all to a halt shouldn't be a problem, either. We do know that the hotter Focus will be among the "more than 12" vehicles that the new Ford Performance division will develop through 2020, and the RS will come to the US for the first time. However, US-spec RS models will likely be imported from Europe, which will keep numbers here low and will mean prices estimated to be around $30,000 or more. Until the official specs become available, at least enjoy watching this hot hatch's ability to slide.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
