Ford Thunderbird 1966, Q Code, Landau Coupe. on 2040-cars
Eden, Utah, United States
|
1966 Ford Thunderbird Landau Coupe. An original Q Code car with the 428 CI engine. I purchased this Thunderbird from the original owner. The car comes with the original "Build Sheet"and a complete history in repair receipts. The car came from the Ford Motor Company with the 428 4V engine and three speed automatic transmission. The original engine and transmission were recently (professionally) rebuilt. All the work done to the Thunderbird is supported by receipts which come with the car. From the sequential rear turn signals to the completely rebuilt front suspension, the car runs and drives very well. The front and rear bumpers are completely unscratched and are not dented. The car is ready to drive anywhere. I have a clear original Utah title and ownership can be easily transferred. Other than the "tangerine" repaint, the car is completely original. The original interior is in good condition, but shows some wear, but after 48 years it is in remarkable condition. The interior lights turn on when you open the doors and the swing-away steering wheel looks almost like new. Please look closely at all of the photos. I want the new owner to know exactly what they are getting. I have 680 positive feedbacks on Ebay and I highly value my 100% positive feedback score. If you have any questions about the car, I will gladly answer them. This is a wonderful Thunderbird that could easily be a show car with a new paint job in the original factory blue color. The original Landau top is in good conditions and the seams are not split. If there are areas of the car you want me to photograph in more detail, please let me know. The reserve on the car is well under the car's value. The power brakes, power steering, power windows, all work properly. All of the glass is in excellent condition. Two additional tires and rims are in the trunk.
I will assist the shipper you select and I will safely store the car until it is picked up. I will gladly assist the shipper selected in shipping the car anywhere in the world. Good luck bidding, and I hope this 1966 Thunderbird (Q Code) Landau Couple finds a good home. I have two 1956 Ford F100 projects you can seen in the background of the photos, and I need to sell this car before the Utah winter arrives. If you are new to Ebay, please message me before bidding. I want this to be a good straightforward auction. |

Ford F-450 claims best-in-class towing, company abandons practice of removing items to boost payload number
Tue, 02 Sep 2014The ongoing heavy-duty truck battle between Ford and Ram is showing no signs of slowing down. The Blue Oval is trying to remove at least one point of contention between the two brands by testing its 2015 F-450 Super Duty using the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard, which Ram also uses. In the new evaluation, the F-450 is rated at a max towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's an identical amount as under Ford's own, previous test.
"We leave no doubt with customers that the F-450 pickup truck has best-in-class towing of 31,200 pounds - whether tested using our own internal towing standards or SAE J2807," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, in the company's release.
At the same time, Ford is also changing how it calculates the F-450's payload. Instead of using its minimum curb weight as before, the brand is now using the truck's base curb weight. The revision lowers the pickup's rating to 5,300 pounds, compared to 5,450 pounds previously. The company said in its announcement that the reason for this is "aligning its payload rating practices with other manufacturers to make it easier for customers to compare vehicles." General Motors made a similar switch for its pickups in August.
Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines
Mon, 27 May 2013Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.
1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
