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.

Ford reveals Fiesta ST race car, points at road ahead for bigger things in Global RallyCross

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST doesn't go on sale until this summer, but fans of Global RallyCross will be able to catch the car in action before then. Announced ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, the Fiesta ST will be the car run by Ford GRC teams this season, and the model on display in Chicago will be the racecar built by Swedish tuner OlsbergsMSE driven by Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. Ken Block and his newly renamed Hoonigan Racing Division will also be competing in the Fiesta ST.
The 2013 GRC season has not been announced yet, but the venues will also include the summer X Games events in Brazil, Spain, Germany and, of course, Los Angeles. Ford announced that it will be the sole automotive sponsor of this year's summer X Games, and it will be looking to bring home a gold medal this year after Block placed silver last year.
In other Ken Block- and Ford-related news, another Chicago debut will be a tuned Focus ST called the TrackSTer project. Built in cooperation with Block, Ford and automotive tuner fifteen52, the TrackSTer will get plenty of styling, performance and handling upgrades. Some of the add-ons include a performance exhaust and short-throw shifter from Ford Racing, a rebuilt engine, upgraded components such as the limited-slip differential, intercooler, engine controller and clutch as well as upgraded brakes.

Ford S-Max Concept previews new look, technology for Euro seven-seater

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Ford unveiled today the S-Max Concept, which comes with a new, sleek look and loaded with innovative technology, such as a heart-rate monitoring seat. But if you're heart is set on a minivan sports activity vehicle (SAV) and you live in the States, don't wait for this one - it's a Europe-only product, and we don't expect that to change when the next-gen S-Max is released.
The styling follows Ford's global design language, looking a bit like an overgrown Focus hatchback with the company's signature grille, wraparound headlamps, steeply raked windshield and curved roof line. Ford also implemented details to make the S-Max look longer and faster, such as a feature line on each side of the vehicle and muscular-looking fenders. The engine isn't Ford's most powerful, but the new 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine should be potent enough with turbocharging and other efficiency related technologies.
Ford says the new interior, which seats up to seven people, features high-quality materials and fine detailing, such as an "ultra-soft" leather wrap for the instrument panel and leather and carbon-fiber details on the seats. Ford's Sync connectivity system with MyFord Touch makes the car a wireless hotspot, and there's a tablet docking station for second-row occupants.

Will Ford's SUV blitz include the Bronco?

Sat, Feb 13 2016

Ford announced this week it will add four sport-utility vehicles in the next four years, an ambitious bet on a segment the industry once shunned. This led to wild speculation about what form these utes will take. Here's what we know: They will be new nameplates, and Ford is thinking globally. That means at least one might not be a product with US intent. They will also be in segments where the company does not currently compete, Ford said. The Blue Oval isn't specifying exactly what's it's doing, so here are some of our theories. We think one will be called the Bronco, which is great news for enthusiasts. We hope it follows the Mustang playbook with some heritage styling, but a thoroughly modern execution. Ford needs an off-road Jeep Wrangler-fighter. Fuel prices are low and it's been 22 years since the infamous O.J. Simpson white Bronco chase. This is the best chance Ford will ever have to bring back this iconic name. Our man on the ground at the Chicago Auto show, Sebastian Blanco, reported that Ford sales and marketing vice president Mark LaNeve said a "mini utility" will also be one of the utes. This could be primarily an overseas play. We've also seen lots of spy shots of the EcoSport, a small crossover that Ford sells in India and other overseas markets, being tested on American roads. That is an existing nameplate. Maybe Ford adds a small ute related to the EcoSport in the United States, but calls it something else. We think Lincoln gets a three-row SUV out of the deal. It could slot between the MKX, which was new last year, and the Navigator. Lincoln is leaving money on the table by not being in this segment. The platform could be used for a Ford at some point, too. The Blue Oval brand does actually have a tweener three-row vehicle, the Flex, but this chassis might underpin a replacement. Or maybe Ford makes one of these a hybrid. The company laid out ambitious plans in December to ramp up its electrification strategy, something that could mean a dedicated hybrid SUV (Kia unveiled one of those right after LaNeve's speech in Chicago). It's also possible hybrid technology will be integrated into this new portfolio. The Escape used to have a hybrid sibling. Whatever form they ultimately take, Ford is betting heavily on SUVs. The company thinks they are what Baby Boomers and Millenials want and expects the segment will continue to grow. It's important to note: this will be a diversified strategy.
