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. |

2015 Ford F-150 configurator is ready to go to work
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Ford is inching towards the on-sale date for the eagerly anticipated, aluminum F-150 pickup. While we're preparing to drive the new truck (expect our take on it sooner rather than later), the best-seller has reached another, albeit more minor, milestone as its online configurator has officially been switched on.
We took to Ford's consumer website to mess about with it and see just how ridiculous of a truck we can build. Among the fun things we discovered were these two nuggets - the most expensive truck we could configure was not the top-end Platinum model, but instead the King Ranch, which rang up at $65,955. The other exciting discovery? The new truck would be available in a questionable shade called Blue Jeans (shown above with the optional contrasting Caribou paint). Yep, Blue Jeans.
You can head over to Ford's consumer page and build your very own aluminum F-150 now. Take a look.
Amelia Island 2013: 50 years of the Ferrari-slaying Ford GT40
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Originally developed with the sole purpose of being a Ferrari rival to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT40 became a prominent racing machine in the 1960s in both Europe and the US. Not wanting to leave such an important car out of the fun, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance also took time out from its other celebrations to recognize the 50-year anniversary of the GT40.
Over its short lifespan, the GT40 was offered in a handful of configurations, but the classic short-tailed (Mk I and Mk II) bodystyles were well represented... especially in Gulf livery. James Glickenhaus (of Ferrari P4/5 fame) had his bright yellow Mk IV in the field, and there were several others in this bodystyle, including one that has seen plenty of time on the track judging by its chipped-up nose.
As a fitting statement for the car's lengthy racing history, GT40 Chassis Number 1075 won this year's Concours de Sport award. This car took home the checkered flag at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, and racked up a total of six wins in just 11 races.
2015 Ford Mustang will tell authorities how you crashed and if you were belted [w/video]
Sat, 28 Jun 2014When the 2015 Ford Mustang hits dealers, it will be with a new batch of features that will power up Sync's 911 Assist feature, and provide an even greater degree of information to first responders in the event of an accident.
911 Assist will already make a phone call, via a Bluetooth-connected phone, should you bin your car. The automatic message to first responders is a pre-recorded blurb from Ford. With the new enhancements, though, emergency personnel can learn about the maximum change in velocity and whether the crash involved a front, rear, side or a rollover impact. 911 Assist will also send information about how many seat belts were in use and if airbags deployed, allowing more accurate dispatch of resources.
"Sync will only broadcast relevant information to save time, and it constructs a very efficient message for the operator," said David Hatton, the global project leader with Ford Connected Services. "After the introductory message, the voice line opens automatically and occupants can speak directly with the operator via Sync's hands-free functionality."
