For Sale my 1966 Thunderbird Convertible. I purchased this car in early 1990's My grandfather and I did the restoration. My grandfather was a retired master mechanic for the state of SC. At the time I purchased this car I owned 3 thunderbirds, a '68 GT fastback mustang ("S" code big block car), a 1964 F100, and a Harley. I sold everything except for my first car (1963 Tbird) and this convertible. I sold my Mustang in 2000 thinking a fastback mustang is easier to find than a convertible thunderbird. Now I have three children with one in college, one in diapers and one in between and it is time to make a choice.

I am keeping my first car 1963 Tbird and selling my convertible. Ok enough history, now on to the car.

1966 Thunderbird Convertible. car has less than 100k miles, less than 4000 miles on rebuilt motor including new 30 over forged pistons and a small crane cam. the valves do not have hardened seats we didn't have the knowledge of the lead free gas. the heads on the car have the rounded combustion chambers that give you a little more power. The rest is basically stock. I did not put anything crazy in the car it was going to be just a cruiser. had new dual exhaust, new michelin tires (now dry rotting) new water pump, alternator, brake booster, and rebuilt transmission all low mileage now but twenty years old. The car cranks up and runs. I could not find the spark plugs for the car they are no longer available. (these are the resistor type to keep your radio from humming) You can still get spark plugs for the car just the ones I have in it are obsolete.

I drove the car around the neighborhood carefully (needs brakes bled one rear caliper sticky too) The car has basically been outside for the last ten years other than when I bring it in from time to time to tinker with it. I had planned on putting it back together and driving it ratrod style. I guess I need to get to the reason I parked the car in the first place. We painted the car because it wasn't in bad shape when I bought it. It was Wimbledon White too plain for a convertible. We painted it a custom metallic red almost a watermelon color. The paint orange peeled and never really shined. I eventually met a very talented paint and body man who did some fantastic work in town. I made one huge mistake...paying a man before the job is done. He skipped town after stripping down my car and several other people were cheated out of their money too. I decided I was going to try painting the car again but never got around to it.

All of the convertible top parts are there the flip tray motor is broken. I disconnected the main cylinders and have a switch to control the trunk screws. I never repaired the top due to being able to raise and lower by myself. It is real easy with two people.

I will answer any questions and update this information as needed. I will have the car for sale locally although there doesn't seem to be much money around here. If it sells I will end the auction so please bid if you are interested.

Thanks for looking.

What an Atlas-based Ford F-150 might look like

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Just ahead of January's Detroit Auto Show, surprising rumors pegged Ford as revealing some sort of F-150 concept, perhaps as a hurried effort to deflate some of the buzz building around General Motors' new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins, which were also making their auto show debut. Those rumblings turned out to be true, as Ford rolled into the Motor City with its Atlas concept (inset, right), touting the truck's bold styling as a precursor to the next-generation F-Series.
The show truck featured all kinds of clever details, including active wheel shutters and a front air dam that raised and lowered to improve aerodynamics while preserving off-road ability. It also had a genuinely snarly face. And it's that pugnacious snout that may well be on its way to production. The good folks at TopSpeed have worked up the plausible-looking artist's rendering above by cross-referencing the Atlas concept with what little has been revealed from recent spy shots. The look is toned-down pretty dramatically from the concept truck, but its Atlas roots are clear, with a massive three-bar grille and bracket-shaped headlamps hiding a next-generation EcoBoost engine. In the rendering, the show truck's deeply contoured hood and roofline have been ditched and larger, more traditional side mirrors have been fitted - all likely concessions in the move to production sheetmetal.
While Ford has yet to officially announce when it will unveil the 2015 F-150, all signs point to next year's Detroit Auto Show - one year after the Atlas shrugged off GM's new pickups.

2015 Ford Mustang GT Line-Lock Burnout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

In this brief Short Cut, Autoblog's Steven Ewing demonstrates Line-Lock on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Accessed through an on-screen performance menu, the feature temporarily locks the front brakes to help you heat up the rear tires for better traction, as you would for drag racing. The result? A 15-second smokescreen.

How Ford hid the 2015 Mustang from spy photographers

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

Now that we've finally seen the 2015 Ford Mustang, it's fun to go back and look at the spy shots we spent months pouring over, trying to dissect what was under all the camouflage. For the most part, Ford did a good job of concealing the car from spy photographers, and it released a video showing how much work went into doing so.
As crude as the Mustang's camo looked, all of the hard plastic, foam, vinyl and ratchet straps were actually created and put in place by a specific design team. The whole idea was to hide the car's identity, but it certainly ended up acting as a magnet for attention, too. According to Ford's press release, it took less than an hour for spy shots to appear online after the car was taken on public roads for the very first time - this is likely in reference to our first official spy shots of the Mustang from June, shown in the gallery below.
Scroll down for a press release and video, which shows footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang testing with minimal camouflage. This is probably the same track session where we got our first look at the Mustang's face back in August.
