1966 FORD THUNDERBIRD CONVERTIBLE


I am listing a 1966 Ford Thunderbird convertible. I purchased this bird and a 64 bird from an estate. The gentleman had 7 of these cars and the two I purchased are convertibles. I will have the 64 listed later in the week.  This bird is a solid no rust car with all original sheet metal. It has a 390 cid engine with a 4bbl carb., cruise-o-matic automatic transmission, 3.00 rear end gears, power steering, power disc brakes (front), dual exhaust, power windows, power driver seat, power top, radio with front and rear speaker, wiper with washers, and front and rear seat belts. The paint trim code is E, Silver Mink metallic, interior trim code is 21, silver blue. It has a white soft top in good condition that operates properly and a sportster tonneau cover . It has the original jack, spare has been used but is all there. Original trunk interior, has original inspection stamps under deck lid in two places, has all original glass including the windshield (no cracks or delamination). Has original wheel covers but has wire wheel simulators on it now. Comes with the original owners manual with build sheet. These are great looking cars with the tonneau covers and one of the best driving classic cars you can buy. You can not get into the collector car hobby and have a good quality car for much less than these birds. There price has never taken off yet, I feel these are some of the best cars for the buck.  

 This bird has been well maintained through the years. It has had one repaint back to original color of silver mink with basecoat/clear coat paint. The engine bay has been detailed and it has new Fomoco Ford hoses, belts, plugs, wires, air cleaner, oil and filter, and antifreeze. It has 4 new American Classic radial tires, new shocks, new front springs, new top motor, pump and lines. The sequential tail lights work perfect, all of the other lights work as well, even the door interior lights, dome, and trunk. The drivers door panel has a bad spot around the pull cup area( see pic in photobucket) and the driver seat has two bad spots (see pic in photobucket) these can be fixed by a vinyl repair person. The rest of the interior is very clean, the carpet is nice and original with no wear. It could be dyed and look new again. (It is sun faded). The under carriage is very solid, the rocker and quarter panels have no rust, under the doors is clean and solid as well.

 This is one of the best driving cars that I have driven lately. You can fly in and drive this one back home if you wanted. I am in Wentzville, Mo. 35 miles west of St.Louis. The car is showing 57,700 miles which I believe to be original. I have no documentation so I am selling it as exempt on the miles. There is no warranty, as is-where is. I require a $1,000.00 deposit at the end of auction. I need to be paid within 7 days of close auction. I can keep the car until transport is arranged or you pick it up as long as  it paid for within 7 days. I can also help arrange shipping for you. I am available almost any time for inspection and test drive. My name is Greg (806) 477-2201.   Please see all additional pictures in photobucket. Sorry ebay won't let me put the link in any more. You can send me a question and I will attach it to your mail. Thanks, Greg  

Thanks for viewing my auction and good luck. Also check out the inventory at Vintage Autohaus and Imports in Amarillo, Tx. @ vaitx.com

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.

Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Back in September, Ford announced a non-pursuit version of its Police Interceptor Sedan, which swaps out a choice of two V6 engines for a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder. This Special Service Police Sedan will be marketed to law enforcement agencies looking to cut fuel costs and don't need the extra power.
For college campuses, detectives and the like, this new police car has now been certified with EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures represent a decrease of two mpg in city and combined ratings compared to the civilian-spec 2014 Taurus. These police cars still offer active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, although we're guessing agencies upfitting their cars with light bars and push bumpers aren't exactly concerted with aerodynamics. The true benefit of the SSP version is when it's compared against other police sedan options like the Dodge Charger, Chevy Impala, Chevy Caprice and even the V6 Police Interceptor Sedan.
Ford claims the new Police Interceptor Sedan SSP is the most fuel-efficient current option for police departments, saying that this car can save $1,720 per car over three years and almost $260,000 over the same span of time for fleets with 150 vehicles. There is an official press release posted below, and also check out the gallery of images from Ford collected from various police agencies across the US (although none show the 2.0-liter SSP model). Head on over to Ford's Police Interceptor mini-site for even more pictures of the Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility.

Ford Ka Concept shown in Brazil, could enter production by 2014

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

The Ford Ka (pronounce it like a Bostonian saying "car") is the Blue Oval's sub-Fiesta offering in a number of markets that aren't North America. It's been a staple in Europe since it launched in 1996 and in South America since 1997, where it's enjoyed quite a bit of popularity as an affordable, efficient city car.
The European and South American models grew apart over the years, until Europe ended up with a Fiesta-inspired car and Brazil retained a more evolved version of the original Ka's styling. With this Ka Concept, which is really a concept in name only, Ford is previewing a Ka not just for the European market, but as the brand's new, global small car. With city car sales expected to grow dramatically in coming years and the ever increasing price of fuel, Ford's move to get a new, competitive car into the market on a global level isn't surprising.
Wearing Ford's new, familial grille, the Ka Concept features the same crisp, sculpted sheetmetal that's adorned the Fusion and Fiesta. Developed in-house by Ford Brazil, a production version could launch by 2014, according to Ford's press release. It's unclear what engines will sit under this car's hood, although we'd bet the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Fiesta will be available at some point.
