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.

2024 Porsche Panamera; Rivian's surprise; Cadillac electrifies V | Autoblog Podcast #823

Fri, Mar 15 2024

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-ChiefÂ Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd. They start off discussing a couple of vehicles they've both driven — the 2024 Ford Maverick Tremor and the 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge 2WD. From there, they pivot to Byron's first drive of the 2024 Porsche Panamera, and then from there it's on to more electrified luxury in the form of the new Cadillac Lyriq. After that, it's on to news. Rivian made a big splash last week. Not to be upstaged, Cadillac decided to get in on the action by teasing an electric V model, the Opulent Velocity Concept. After that, it's time for a future classic; this week, it's the Dodge Magnum. They end the episode by spending listener Isaiah's money on some used stick-shift transportation.Â Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.

Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.
