1966 Ford Thunderbird Landau. 65k Miles. Ready To Cruise!!! on 2040-cars
Huntington Station, New York, United States
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!!! |

Petersen Museum celebrates 50 years of Ford Mustang with special exhibit
Mon, May 5 2014If you're a pony-car enthusiast, this is your year. Not only has Ford introduced an all-new Mustang, but it's also the 50th anniversary of the original. Celebrations and commemorations have been scheduled throughout the year, and not the least of them is the latest exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Called "Mustangs Forever: 50 Years of a Legend", the exhibit includes Mustangs from every generation of the iconic pony car, including the 1965 convertible Ronald Reagan drove during his California gubernatorial campaign, a 1971 Mach 1 Cobra Jet, a 1974 Mustang II, 1993 SVT Cobra, 2000 Cobra R and a 2006 Shelby GT-H. Special sections focus on motorsports, aftermarket modifiers and limited-edition models. The display opened on Sunday with the Mustang Madness spectacular and will run for the next six months, but if you're not heading to Southern California within the coming half-year then you can scope out all the action in our live gallery of photos above.
Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads
Fri, Sep 11 2015Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.

You can now order Domino's pizza from your Sync-equipped Ford
Tue, 07 Jan 2014
The news keeps pouring in from the Consumer Electronics Show now underway in Las Vegas, and the latest comes from Ford which has announced two new apps for its Sync AppLink system.
First up is a cooperative app launched by Ford together with Domino's Pizza that lets drivers of the former order pizza from the latter right from their car. The service allows those with Ford Sync AppLink in their car or truck and are registered with a Domino's Pizza Profile to place an order for their favorite pie using Dearborn's voice-recognition software for either pickup or delivery. Save your information in your Pizza Profile and it'll be sent to your house without even the push of a button, which strikes us as awesome a use of technology as we've ever seen.
