what i know about 1966 thunderbirds you could write on a postage stamp. so if you are reading this then i am sure you know way more than me about this kind of antique car.this old girl belongs to one of the guys that works for me and he has no computer so i am listing it on his behalf. so i encourage anyone interested to come see and drive it if at all possible. up for auction is this buck rogersmobile 1966 thunderbird sport coupe needing a little TLC. there is a clear south carolina title for the car. she has a great big REBUILT 390 ci V8 in her which starts up very easily and runs GREAT and has a couple of thousand miles on her since the rebuild. the engine sounds very healthy, the starter is a little on the sluggish side in my opinion. the old girl has a very good exhaust but it is VERY loud and need new donut gaskets to be fitted where the pipes join the manifolds. she has some great options and is fitted with SWING AWAY STEERING WHEEL, power windows and POWER VENT WINDOWS! power door locks,remote control drivers door mirror, overhead console, fender skirts and spinner hubcaps (only 3) factory A/C, power steering and power brakes. the windows were broken out by vandals. but all the glass has been bought to put in including a BRAND NEW WINDSHIELD still in the big box from the dealer. the windshield and back glass GASKETS ARE BRAND NEW! the back glass is in perfect condition and ready to put in. perfect used door glasses with frames also come with the car. the area around the back glass does have some rust out in a couple of spots about 6 inches long. these obviously need to be repaired but its all hidden once the new glass and gasket go in, please see the close up picture`s. the floor pans are all very SOLID. the rocker panels are also solid, very minor rust and thats it. there is evidence of some bondo down low by the rear wheel well`s but it must have been done years ago, see close up pictures. the trunk floor has had a repair done at some time in the distant past. but from underneath the inner quarter panels look good. the gas tank looks good also. the unibody frame rails all look very good. the underside lip of trunk lid looks good whereas the hood lip has some rust out which could be repaired easily enough in my opinion, see the pic`s. the 3 spinner hubcaps look very nice. the A/C is all complete and original as far as i can tell, i am sure its still on R12, but it may have been converted. some of the dashboard levers and so on will need to be lubed or maybe taken out and cleaned up as they are stiff or just don`t want to move, all easy kind of stuff that just takes a bit of time and elbow grease. the braces that run from the shock towers to the firewall need to be bolted back in, they are in the trunk. there are a number of parts in the trunk including the landau bars for the roof, see the picture of parts laid on the trunk lid. the drivers door panel is off and will need some help around the door pull area. its all small kinda stuff that needs done. the reserve is set low, to where my guy is only losing his shirt and not his first born child, LOL. right now the old girl will crank right up and drive around the yard or onto a trailer but she has not been on the road for a couple of years. in my opinion the buyer will need to trailer the car away. i can provide a shipping quote if you give me the town you live in and the zip code. i am not saying that the car could not be driven away but its not something i would do. for a start it is VERY VERY loud. if you have any questions, want to make an offer or need more pictures please email. or you can call me on 864 616 6860 up until 10 pm east coast time. shipping over sea`s is no problem at all and charleston port is only 4 hours east of me. i have already shipped antique cars to england, germany, sweden and australia. clear title in hand along with the original keys for the car. i am sure i am missing things here as i am not familiar with this kind of car so i encourage you to call or better yet stop by and see the car in person. any inspection is welcome and we can put her up on a lift for you so you can have a really good look underneath. FULL PAYMENT IN THREE DAYS. the ONLY methods of payment are CASH IN PERSON or a BANK WIRE TRANSFER. no other type of payment will be accepted and if you cannot comply with these simple terms then simply do not bid. thanks and good luck y`all. |

Ford recalls 591,177 vehicles in four separate campaigns
Wed, Apr 29 2015Ford is issuing recalls for a total of 591,177 vehicles worldwide, in four separate campaigns. The announcement comes just days after the discovery of door-latch problems in 390,000 of the automaker's cars. The largest of these new recalls covers 518,313 examples of the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ from the 2013-2015 model years, plus the 2015 Edge. Of these, 487,301 of are in the US and 31,012 are in Canada. For vehicles in cold-weather areas, the bolts that hold the steering gear motor can corrode and fracture. If this happens, it could cause the power steering to fail, but manual control would be retained. There are no reported accidents or injuries from this problem. To fix things, dealers will replace the bolts and seal them. The next campaign covers 50,157 examples of the 2014 Focus, Edge, Escape, and Transit Connect, plus the Fiesta from 2014 and 2015. Of these, 45,505 are in the US, 4,618 in Canada, and 34 in Mexico. All of them exhibit a problem with the fuel pump where the nickel plating can cause the part to seize and the engine to stall, if this occurs. (All of which sounds like recent problems with Nissan and BMW models.) According to Ford, there is one allegation of an accident from this problem. Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module to fix the problem. Ford is also recalling 22,616 units of the 2015 Lincoln MKZ because when the headlights are on, the parking lamps are brighter than they are allowed to be. The light could affect the vision of other drivers. This campaign includes 21,435 of them in the US, 1,066 in Canada and 115 in Mexico. There are no accidents or injuries from the issue, but Ford is updating the software to dim the lights on these sedans. Finally, Ford has a safety campaign for 91 examples of the 2015 F-150 because an underbody heat shield might not be properly installed or not present at all, which can be a fire risk. There are no reports of any actual accidents or fires, though. The affected pickups will have the parts replaced or added, as necessary after a dealer inspection. To see the specific build dates for the models affected by each of these campaigns, you can read about them in the press release below.

Ford recalls 300,000 Crown Vics over lighting module
Wed, Dec 23 2015The Basics: Ford is recalling 312,814 units of the Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis sedans from the 2003-2005 model years. They were built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant between Oct. 3, 2001, and Aug. 2, 2005. Ford says 296,004 of those units are located in the United States, with another 14,714 in Canada and 2,096 in Mexico. The Problem: The solder joints on the lighting control module could crack, depriving the headlamps of the power they need to light the way ahead. That could increase the risk of a crash, particularly at night and in other low-visibility situations. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports that it is aware of 11 accidents that resulted from the problem, leading to one injury described as "minor." The Fix: The manufacturer is instructing dealers to replace the entire lighting control module. If You Own One: Make sure your headlights are working before getting under way. If they're not, avoid driving under low-light conditions, including at night, in heavy precipitation, or in fog.

Ram 1500 bests new F-150 in MT pickup shootout
Tue, Nov 25 2014Ford's 2015 Ford F-150 is a technological tour-de-force, what with its aluminum-intensive construction and its powerful and efficient new 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine option. But now that it's hit the market, it's time to get down to brass tacks and find out how just the latest F-150 actually stands up to its rivals in the hyper-competitive fullsize segment. Motor Trend is among the first to round up the Ford (in Lariat 2.7-liter 4X4 guise here) and put it up against the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman EcoDiesel 4x4 and 5.3-liter-equipped Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 to find out how Dearborn's new-think truck measures up. The test put the trio through over 1,000 miles of tough driving in California and Arizona in a variety of conditions from just cruising around unladen to hauling a trailer. MT found all three trucks to be competent, but the most praise got heaped on the Ram and the Ford, with the Chevrolet falling a step behind its competitors in many tests. Among the Ford's most-liked features was its 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 that helped make the F-150 easily the quickest of the group, with some editors saying the engine felt about the same whether driving around with cargo in the bed or not. There was some minor turbo lag during acceleration while trailering, but that issue affected the Ram, too. The Ram's powertrain was lauded, as well. The EcoDiesel was torquey around town, and the 1500's combination of an eight-speed automatic and air suspension was judged to be the best of the lot. It was the most difficult to get into the bed, though. The Ram also won the fuel economy award by netting 20-miles-per-gallon city and 28-mpg highway in the test to beat its Environmental Protection Agency ratings of 19/27. The Ford's EcoBoost managed 17/22, one mpg off each from the EPA numbers, and using a lot of throttle really depleted its efficiency. As MT notes, however, it would take time for the diesel's mileage savings to pay off at the pump for these two trucks. In the end, the Ram just barely eked out the win, with the title partially earned because of "the Ford's unknown maintenance and aluminum repair costs," according to MT.
