Offered here is a 1966 Thunderbird Tudor Coupe. This body style has the rear quarter windows in it, which I like better than the Landau body style, which does not have them and hence the rear area looks fat. They only made about 14,000 of these; the Landau was a lot more popular. I got this car as a project, but life has gotten in the way and it’s time to thin the herd.
First impressions can be deceiving, and so it is with this car. Think of it as a full scale plastic car model in the box. I got the car from a retired mechanic who actually was factory trained on Thunderbirds back in the day. He took out the engine, took it apart to rebuild it, and found it to be in such great shape inside that he just painted it and put it back together. He also painted the engine compartment while it was out. The engine is a 390 and runs very well. It has a $400.00 Edelbrock 4 barrel carburetor. The car lot drives, and has a little bit of brake. The emergency brake works. The transmission shifts as it should, but I have not taken it up to speed. The odometer shows a little over 50,00 miles, but I'd assume that it has turned over at least once.
I replaced the non AC dash with an AC dash and all the stuff inside it, except for the rubber conduit right behind the plenums; there are about 6 screws to put that in. All of the wiring is there as far as I can tell, and the car comes with a factory wiring manual so you know where it goes. It also comes with a factory service manual so you know how to do the rest of the car.
The body is in good shape, as is the frame. It’s pretty much rest free on the outside, and the floor pans are solid, which is one of the reasons I bought it. The underside of the hood has some rust, but its not structural and the hood works just fine, thought right now it is not attached to the hinges. There is rust around the inside trunk lip, which does not show when the trunk is closed, and does not affect the working of the trunk lid. The trunk bottom is solid, and it comes with a towing hitch! The rest of the car is pretty solid. All of the glass is good.
All of the parts are there as far as I know, and more, as I got a parts car with it. You get all of my 66 Tbird parts; I have a another pile that is not pictured. The interior is disassembled; it needs new carpet, and I did not want to put the interior back in it only for you to have to take it back out again to put in the carpet. You can get a carpet set here on ebay for about $150.00. This car would make a great winter project car; put in the carpet, put in the interior, with a paint job in the spring to make it a really good cruiser.
Terms of Sale: The car is located in Blairs VA, near Danville Va. Car is sold as is where is, with all faults. $300.00 Paypal nonrefundable earnest money required within 48 hours of sale, to cover expenses of sale. Buyer must arrange shipping.

Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines
Sun, 24 Nov 2013Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.

Ford, GM still doing new business with Takata amidst airbag crisis
Thu, Nov 20 2014Lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. You might expect automakers to be fleeing any connection with beleaguered supplier Takata in the wake of the company's exploding airbag inflator crisis. After all, with a Senate hearing, pending lawsuit, plummeting stock value and demand for a national recall, the tier-one supplier isn't at its strongest right now. However, years of cooperation mean that automakers are standing by Takata, and necessity may be playing a role, as well. About 39 percent of Takata's business comes from airbags, and seatbelts make up another significant chunk of the operation too, says Bloomberg. The long-term relationships and lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. "Takata has so much product breadth that I don't really see that they could just disappear," said AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan to Bloomberg. For example, Takata helped develop the unique front center airbag with General Motors in models like the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Outside of safety tech, it is also a partner with Ford on the adaptive steering system available on the upcoming 2015 Edge. These long-lasting partnerships make change difficult now that there's a problem. According to Reuters, automakers claim it would take a year or longer to set up with a different supplier for replacement airbag inflators. Switching to a completely different part for the repairs might not be a viable option either, because of the engineering time needed. BMW is taking action, though. According to Reuters, the Bavarian brand is working with the supplier to move inflator production from Monclova, Mexico, to a Takata factory in Freiburg, Germany. The Mexican plant may be the source of some of the faulty parts. News Source: Bloomberg, ReutersImage Credit: Jens Meyer / AP Photo BMW Ford GM Safety Takata airbag recall
