1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau, Rare 428 Q Code! 106k, Clean, New Insp! on 2040-cars
Collegeville, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for auction is a beautiful 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau with the optional, and very rare, Q code 428 V8 with a 4bbl and 7.0L of power. Just took this car in on a trade from that 1981 Buick Riviera listed about a month or so ago. Car has come back to PA and recieved a brand new state inspection good thru Sept of 2014. Fresh PA Title - Antique Vehicle Here are a list of items that have recently been done to the car: Oct '11 - Plugs, wires, total rebuild of Automatic C6 Transmission ($2000) Feb '12 - New Heater Core ($100) Oct '13 - Front Strut Rod Bushing Set Front and Rear Brake Hoses Rear Wheel Cyliders Rear Axle Seals Sundry electrical work to make sure all important functions are working properly, ie horn, reverse, lights, fixed the gauges! Professional Floor Board Repairs, Torque Box repair Total: ($2000) I'm driving the car while the auction is running and it is a blast. Lots of looks and Thumbs Up. Questions at the gas station etc. Big 428 engine runs smooth and the C6 shifts perfectly. Car is on the same chassis as the Lincoln Continental was so the ride is very luxurious. Interior is very cool, the theme of an airplane cockpit is very apparent and there are many styling cues that will give you some nostalgia. I've had a couple friends in the car, and every one of them points out five or six different things that they "have never seen in another car before!" Power windows work, including the power A frame vent windows! Steering wheel pushes out of the way so you can easily get in and out of the car! Remember when you could easily fit into a two door vehicle? Taillights have the trick sequential feature that flashes the three bulbs in the direction you are turning. Very Cool. As nice as the car is, the engine compartment is even better. Looks like it was freshly detailed. The real hook is the engine and trans package for this car. the "Q" in the vin designates the 428cu option for this year, it was less than $100 option and not many people took it. Hard to believe. In some other models, this would increase the value 10x, this car is being priced to sell so don't let it get away. Value will keep increasing over the years if you take as good of care as the previous owners have. Things it needs: - Headliner is starting to sag, will eventually need replaced -Power locks don't hookup -Chip in paint on the front left corner (see Pic) This is a perfect car to drive, enjoy for as long as you want, and then resell for a profit! Car is safe, freshly inspected and ready for a new home. Please feel free to ask any questions. Check all my other auctions, I have new vehicles coming in all the time.

2015 Ford Mustang leaked in Autoweek
Tue, 03 Dec 2013We would have to imagine that Ford knew it couldn't keep its 2015 Mustang under wraps for too long, and with only days to go before the pony car's official unveiling, the dam seems to be cracking. SVTPerformance.com member Screamin 40th just posted some images taken of the sixth-gen Mustang prominently featured in and on the cover of the December 9 issue of Autoweek magazine.
These images show that recent renderings we saw weren't too far off. The face is just like what we saw in spy shots a few months back, but the rear of the car features some of its more striking cues. Starting with the pronounced haunches and hidden B-pillars, the rear view of the new Mustang might be its best with the ridged, three-bar taillights, a rear diffuser and the lack of a faux gas cap, which allows the galloping pony to be an even more prominent element against the black trim.
The images also reveal a small portion of the updated interior carrying over retro themes like the deep-dish steering wheel and dual-gauge instrument cluster, but it also adds some modern tech with a big infotainment displays and a clean center stack layout. No official word on powertrain or other specs, but while we can't make out most of the magazine's text, our eyes did catch mentions of an independent rear suspension and a 200-pound weight reduction.
Ford and Chrysler reducing summer plant shutdowns
Wed, 22 May 2013Most domestic automaker assembly plants traditionally take a couple of weeks off during the summer. The shutdowns give each plant time for much needed repairs and maintenance, and in some cases, help better align production with demand. Not this year, though, as demand for many models is outstripping what Ford, Chrysler and General Motors plants can produce.
Ford has announced that it will shorten its annual summer shutdown for most North American plants from two weeks to one. The shorter shutdown will increase the carmaker's annual North American production by 40,000 units on top of the 200,000 extra units that it was already planning to produce this year versus last. Automotive News reports that Ford produced 2.8 million vehicles on this continent in 2012, and that output this year has already increased 13 percent through April.
Chrysler, meanwhile, is also operating at full tilt and plans to run some plants through the summer with no shutdown at all. Those not getting a break include Jefferson North where the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango are assembled, Toledo North that will assemble the new Cherokee, and Conner Avenue, home of SRT Viper production. Other assembly plants will be down for a single week, while all of Chrysler's engine and transmission plants except one in Indiana will continue operating with no shutdown this summer.
