For sale a 1966 Ford Thunderbird landau. In '02 the car was in the process of a restoration and put into storage, I am the second owner since then and have started putting it back together but is not complete yet. It has new paint, underneath was undercoated and overall the body is in very good condition, there are two small dings on the hood from it being in storage. It had a factory vinyl top that was removed, the metal on top is solid and I have a new replacement top for it. The original interior color was parchment but had sun faded so I was in the process of color-changing it to black and replacing the dash pad but it is not finished yet. The shifter on the column will need a kit due to the locking pin being wore out so it doesn't stay in gear. All the panels, trim and parts are there to finish putting the car back together but will need door seals. Mechanically the car runs, drives and stops fine but has not been on the road for some time. It has the 390 engine that I think is original to the car. When I purchased it I had two pushrods replaced due to sticking valves. It has developed a slight oil leak since but I think it's just from sitting too long. That is the reason I'm selling it, I just don't have the time to finish it or enjoy it when completed. I will put the original steel wheels and hubcaps on the car before it sells, the ones pictured do not go with the car. I have several restoration books that go with it as well and it has a clear title. pick up only, thanks for looking.

Shelby GT350R offers first mass-produced carbon fiber wheels
Fri, Jul 10 2015In the world of race engineering, reducing total weight is good, but reducing unsprung weight is flippin' fantastic. That's the reason Ford is pushing the envelope in terms of technology for the Shelby GT350R's wheels. Joining the likes of Koenigsegg in the offering, Ford has teamed with Australian outfit Carbon Revolution to produce the CF rollers en masse for the first time. Destined for the hubs of the new Shelby GT350R, the new hoops weigh just 18 pounds each, versus the 33-lbs weight of a similar aluminum wheel. On top of slashing up to 60 pounds in unsprung weight, there's such a reduction in rotational inertia – 40 percent, versus aluminum wheels – that Ford actually has to recalibrate the magnetic ride control system and springs. Thanks to, we're guessing, scenes of crashed Formula One cars disintegrating and spewing shards of carbon fiber all over the track, Ford seems quite keen to do away with the idea that CF is strong, but brittle. The company conducted extensive shock testing, ramming a wheel into a curb at speed. According to the Blue Oval, the lightweight wheel allowed the suspension to respond so quickly that the impact was "greatly diminished," causing the tester to run the experiment again, thinking there'd been a mistake. After recording brake rotor temperatures of 900 degrees Celsius (over 1,650 degrees Fahrenheit, or well past the point that aluminum or magnesium would melt) during testing, Ford and Carbon Revolution actually redesigned the wheels to "a thermal standard more suitable for motorsports," by adding an "incredibly thin, nearly diamond-hard coating that reliably shields the resin from heat." The same process was used to protect engine turbine blades on the Space Shuttle. While the work by Ford and Carbon Revolution should make GT350R customers excited, the work being done here could have serious implications for performance cars in the future. That's the real takeaway here, and is something that should leave fans of all performance vehicles excited.

2015 Ford Mustang to make world debut on Dec. 5 [w/video]
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Between a bevvy of spy shots, speculative renders and insidery images from the halls of Car and Driver, we've got a pretty decent idea of what the 2015 Ford Mustang might look like. Still, we're excited to see the real deal as soon as possible.
Turns out that Ford has told us just when that first official look might come, too, although it has chosen somewhat of a backdoor fashion for dropping the news.
The video below popped up on the Ford Mustang YouTube channel this morning, promoting a social media effort called #MustangInspires on. The video and hashtag ask fans of the pony car to share pictures of the car - or "photographic stories of inspiration" - on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But the truly interesting part of the video description is that which mentions taking "the cover off the all-new Mustang" on December 5. Consider our calendars marked.
