1966 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop W/ 390 V-8 Engine on 2040-cars
Year:1966
Mileage:91000
Location:
Pittsford, New York, United States
|
Up for sale is a Nice Condition 1966 Ford Thunderbird 2-door Hardtop which my father bought while on vacation in 1978 in Naples, Florida. The car had belonged to the original owner who sold it due to her age at the time. Car had 80,317 miles at that time. I have the original paid invoice when she bought the car new. The car has been kept garaged year around here in Upstate NY, driven sparingly, and it has never been driven in snow. I inherited it in 1995, and have driven it very little, but held onto it for sentimental reasons. I’m hoping to find a car enthusiast who can really appreciate this car, put some work into it and take care of it. Now for my disclaimers: Please be aware that I have driven it VERY LITTLE and cannot say for certain what the car will need mechanically. It is being sold in “AS IS” condition. From the little that I’ve driven it, it has a smooth revving/running engine and transmission shifts smoothly. Last summer I took it in for an overall mechanical look-over, and had the following done: 1) new brake lines, 2) new fuel line, 3) brake booster replaced, 4) inspection of carb, but no work recommended., 5) front brake pads replaced. 6) new battery, 7) spark plugs and points replaced, 8) timing checked, 9) new master cylinder & right rear wheel cylinder, 10) parking brake check valve, 11) compression test. I have receipts for all work (over $2,000), as well as receipts for any work done on it since 1978. Features: 1) interior trunk lining fully restored, 2) tires were replaced and have very little wear, 3) car has never been in an accident, never been out in snow, 4) paint job except for the few chips mentioned is in Good condition (no rust), 5) chrome is in Good condition with very little pitting or oxidation, 6) radiator professionally re-cored and lower hose replaced in 1999, 7) original fender skirts and hub caps, 8) comes with breathable soft car cover for interior storage, 9) swing-away steering wheel, 10) sequential turn signal lights in rear, 11) Specialty license plate (66 T brd) could possibly be transferred to a NY buyer...not sure. I’ve included some pictures (including flaws mentioned) in this posting. I would gladly email more pictures to serious buyers. Again, this car is not in perfect condition and a true collector may want to have some things worked on. Non-refundable Down payment of $500 due at end of auction upon successful win. Buyer responsible for picking up. Car is also being advertised locally, and I reserve the right to cancel this offering at any time during its listing. |

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
Ford Fiesta becomes UK all-time best seller
Thu, 24 Jul 2014We may regard Ford as an American automaker, but ask a Brit and they may tell you otherwise. The Blue Oval has, after all, been selling cars in the UK since 1903, and started manufacturing there as far back as 1911 when it began local production of the Model T in Manchester. Last year Ford ended 100 years of vehicle manufacturing in the UK when the last Transit van rolled off the assembly line in Southampton, but it's still the biggest-selling automotive marque in Britain.
Ford has led the British market for 34 out of the past 45 years, selling more Fiestas than any other company sells any other car in the UK since 2009... when it overtook the Focus. In fact the Fiesta has now become the best-selling car in British history, topping 4,115,000 units since its introduction in 1976. The previous record was held by - you guessed it - another Ford: the Escort sold 4,105,961 units over the course of its 32 years on the British market.
Although the Fiesta is no longer manufactured in the UK (previous versions having been built at Dagenham until 2002), engines are: the EcoBoost line was developed at the company's R&D center in Essex and are built at the factory in Dunton, while its diesel engines were developed at Dagenham in East London. Even the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine in the Fiesta ST is built in South Wales.
Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
