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!!! |

Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue
Tue, 28 May 2013According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."
Ford 3D-printing Mustang out of chocolate and candy for Valentine's Day
Thu, 13 Feb 2014Is your beloved in love with the new 2015 Ford Mustang? Do they like chocolate (that's a trick question - everyone likes chocolate)? Are they a bit of a futurist? Then this Hallmark holiday, you need to get them this Ford Mustang, 3D-printed in sweet, delicious chocolate.
Ford is teaming with 3D Systems' Sugar Lab in LA to produce the super-accurate pony car confections in both chocolate and sugar candy varieties. The process kicked off with a CAD rendering of the 2015 Mustang, which was then programmed into the 3D printer. After a bit of work from the machine, a four-inch long, two-inch tall Mustang was the result. Why the tieup with 3D Systems, though?
"We wanted to create something fun to show that while 3D printing made these edible Mustangs, manufacturing-level 3D printing was used in the development of Ford's all-new sports car," said Paul Susalla, Ford's supervisor of 3D printing.
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to recreate Empire State Building stunt
Tue, 25 Mar 2014It would have been all too easy to miss the auto show debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible. It was, after all, unveiled alongside its fixed-roof counterpart at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, lumping coupe and cabrio into one debut. But Ford is evidently still intent on making its new droptop stand out. The top of the Empire State Building ought to do the trick.
Automotive history buffs may recall that, 50 years ago, Ford unveiled its first Mustang convertible atop what was then the tallest building in the world, that Art Deco icon of the New York skyline. Half a century later, Ford is recreating the feat and bringing the new topless Mustang to the same observation deck on the building's 86th floor.
Getting it up there, of course, will be no easy task. While they'd usually airlift the vehicle onto the roof or lift it by crane, the spire protruding from atop the building makes approaching the narrow observation deck too dangerous, and no mobile crane can telescope the thousand-plus feet it would take to get the pony car up there.
