This is a beautiful 1966 Ford Thunderbird Convertible with the very rare Roadster Package. Which includes the removeable fiberglass tonneau cover and the Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels (these are actual spokes not hubcaps). Overall, the car is in great shape, although it is not in showroom condition. I would call it an excellent "20' car". It appears to have had an older restoration sometime in her history, before I'd owned it. I tend to use it as my daily driver during the summer months, so it does have a few small scratches and minor paint chips. However, as you can see in the photos, nothing that stands out. You really have to look to find them. The paint still shines brightly. It should place well in local shows. It has a 390 V8. The odometer reads 114.5k. It runs very strong and cruises easily at 80mph on the highway. I live in a hot area in California and I drive the car in triple-digit temperature all the time. The engine still runs cool. The only modification I had done to the engine was to add Electronic Ignition to replace the points and condenser. It sits under the factory cap and retains its stock appearance. 1966 was the first year that Ford added Front Disc Brakes to the Thunderbird and the car stops great. The interior is in good condition. There are no rips or tears although the seat cushions are staring to feel their age and just dont have the same cushion as they used to but what can you expect from a car that is almost 50 years old. It has a power driver's seat and power door locks. It has manual windows and if you are familiar with Thunderbirds, you know that the power windows in these models were vacumn actuated so they had a lot of problems even when new. As such, I preferred the manual windows, and no doubt that they will work. Overall, the convertible top vinyl is in good condition, although not perfect. The up/down functions of the top work great, You can see a video of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVqxxGSA9G4 NADA Guides place the value of the 1966 Thunderbird Convertible between $31k to $51k. This is for the regular convertible and does not take into account the Roadster Option. These optional parts are almost impossible to find anymore. The only reason I'm selling the car is because I am purchasing a home and need to raise capital. This car has been wonderful and attracts attention whenever and wherever I drive it. It starts every time and is a pleasure to drive. I sometimes pull off the tonneau cover and take it for family drives on the weekend. The kids love it! We'll all be very sorry to see it go. I will throw in a heavy duty, all-weather car cover for it. Please feel free to contact me with any questions on the car. Terms of the sale require a $2,000 deposit due in 24 hours and the balance due in 7-days. Shipping and transportation are the responsibility of the buyer, although I will work with your shipper to get the car to you as soon as possible. The car is being advertised locally and is subject to prior sale. As such, seller reserves the right to end auction at any time. |

EarthCruiser adds a bigger camper option to its heavy duty pickup line
Tue, Sep 29 2020EarthCruiser is a camper and expedition vehicle company based out of Oregon that we've previously covered for its huge commercial truck-based machines. But they offer more than that, from drop-in campers for smaller pickups to heavy duty pickup conversions. The company's latest product is one of the latter, offering a larger camping area than the current EXD model. This new camper conversion is called the Terranova. The big differentiator between it and the EXD is the camper section, which extends over the truck cab on the Terranova. This means that bed space can be moved to above the truck cab, instead of having to use a convertible dinette. So less reconfiguring, and generally more usable space. One other major difference is that the EXD is only available for the Ram 3500 and Ford F-350. The Terranova is being designed for both of those trucks as well as the Chevy Silverado 3500. The EarthCruiser Terranova is otherwise very similar to other EarthCruiser models. The camper section is made of fiberglass and plastic, and the pop-up roof is insulated with foam. The curtains are triple-layered. The company says it can house four people. It comes with a freshwater tank and pump to help supply the kitchen sink, drinking water tap, bathroom sink and indoor and outdoor showers. There's also a cassette toilet. The kitchen features an induction stove top and small refrigerator and freezer. A fan system is standard, and air conditioning is optional. Power comes from a 400-aH lithium-ion battery. The Terranova isn't yet available. EarthCruiser is finishing up design and engineering, and it plans to have finished examples early next year. The company is taking reservations now, though. Pricing hasn't been announced, but an EXD runs between $220,000 and $265,000, and we would expect the Terranova to cost even more.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
