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.

Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.

Truckmakers squabbling over who can sell Jimmy Fallon a pickup

Sat, 08 Mar 2014

Snagging a celebrity endorsement is a big deal for automakers, as evidenced by the recent efforts of the Detroit Three to try and woo The Tonight Show's newest host, Jimmy Fallon, into one of their trucks.
After announcing during Wednesday night's show that he was in the market for a pickup truck, Fallon set off a firestorm of efforts on Twitter, with both Ford and Chevrolet petitioning the funnyman to test out a truck. According to Ad Age, Ford recommended the King Ranch edition of its next-generation F-150 while the show was still airing. Chevy, meanwhile, waited until the next morning to pitch a Silverado to Fallon.
The winner of this social media feeding frenzy, though, was Ram. Promoting a variation of its "Guts, Glory, Ram" tagline, the Auburn Hills-based manufacturer created the hashtag #GUTSGLORYFallon. It even went so far as to park a Ram 1500 outside 30 Rockefeller Center in New York, where The Tonight Show is filmed. On the back of the Ram sat a sign, reading "Big enough, Jimmy? Test it out," referencing a joke from the Wednesday show.

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
