VERY RARE COMPLETELY RESTORED 1966 FORD THUNDERBIRD CONVERTIBLE! Black Extertior Black convertible top Black interior V-8 390 ENGINE WITH C-4 TRANSMISSION Look at what orher T-birds are going for and see how this is a steal! It is completely done and everything works. You dont have to do anything, Just get in and drive!!!!!!! Look for more photos and video HTTP://s662.photobucket.com/albums/uu348/blackwidow-67/66%20THUNDERBIRD%20EBAY THE PICTURES DONT DO THE CAR THE JUSTICE IT DESERVES. THE BLACK REALLY ACCENTS THE BEAUTIFUL LINES OF A 66 BIRD. ITS TRUELY AN EYE CATCHER. I HAVE RESTORED THE BODY WHICH WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. ALL PANELS ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR. ANY RUST WAS CUT OUT AND NEW PATCHES FULLY WELDED IN. THE CAR IS EXTREMELY STRAIGHT. I DID CHANGE THE COLOR TO BLACK, IT WAS ORIGINALLY YELLOW WITH BLACK INTERIOR. THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY NICE COLOR COMBINATION IN MY OPINION. VERY EYE CATCHING AND SOPHISTICATED, THE CAR WAS BLOCK SANDED NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE PAINT WAS SANDED AND BUFFED TO A FACTORY FINISH. THE PAINT IS GORGEOUS, AND SHOWS GREAT. ITS LIKE LOOKING IN A MIRROR(CHECK OUT THE PICTURE OF MY SON TAKING A PICTUREREFLECTED IN THE HOOD) THIS CAR IS VERY STRAIGHT. IT HAS A 390 WITH A C4 TRANSMISSION. THE ENGINE RUNS EXCELLENT. THE 390 IS VERY SMOOTH AND STRONG AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS PERFECT WITHOUT A HINT OF SLIPPING. IVE OWNED A LOT OF 390S OVER THE YEARS AND THIS IS THE BEST RUNNING ONE IVE EVER OWNED. I REMOVED THE ENGINE TO PAINT THE ENGINE BAY. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT PROPERLY. WHILE IT WAS OUT, I REPLACED THE FRONT SEAL ON THE TRANNY AND PUT A NEW OIL PUMP IN THE MOTOR AND REPLACED ANYTHING NEEDING ATTENTION. I ALSO RESEALED THE VALVE COVERS AND OIL PAN. AND I PAINTED EVERYTHING FORD BLUE AND IT REALLY LOOKS GREAT. I ALSO REPLACED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKETS. THESE CAN BE A REAL PROBLEM TO DO IN THE CAR. THE EXHAUST IS SOLID AND SOUNDS NICE. I ALSO REPLACED ANY WORN FRONT END PARTS, WHICH INCLUDED STRUT BUSHINGS AND TIE ROD ENDS. I ALSO REPLACED THE SHOCKS IN FRONT AND PUT AIR ADJUSTABLE SHOCKS IN REAR. I REPLACED ALL THE BRAKE LINES AND HOSES, INCLUDING SHOES AND DISK PADS. THE CAR IS MECHANICALLY SOUND. THE CAR IS TIGHT AND DRIVES EXCELLENT. THE SEQUENTIAL LIGHTS ALSO WORK PERFECT. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP IS ABOUT A YEAR OLD AND FUNCTIONS EXCELLENT. MOST OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP PARTS WERE REPLACED. THE INTERIOR IS CLEAN AND ORIGINAL TO A 66 T-BIRD. THE SEATS ARE CONFORTABLE AND THE DRIVER SIDE HAS THE OPTIONAL 6 WAY POWER ADJUST. I ADDED THE WOODGRAIN PANELS TO THE DASH AND CONSOLE BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT LOOKED SPORTIER. BUT THEY CAN BE VERY EASILY CHANGED IF THE FUTURE OWNER WISHES TO DO SO. THE INTERIOR IS IN GOOD SHAPE WITH MINOR IMPERFECTIONS. THE CARPET WAS REPLACED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. I HAVE REPLACED MUCH OF THE CHROME, INCLUDING BOTH BUMPERS, DOOR HANDLES, HOOD V, EYEBROWS, FRONT MARKER LIGHTS ON TOP OF FENDERS AND DOOR SILL PLATES. ALL OF THE PARTS CAME FROM BOBS BIRD HOUSE. AND THE CHROME REALLY ACCENTS THE BLACK. IM VERY PROUD TO SHOW THIS CAR OFF AT A LOCAL SHOW. THE PAINT IS GORGEOUS AND IS REALLY EYE CATCHING. THIS IS THE BEST DRIVING 66 THUNDERBIRD IVE EVER OWNED. IT HANDLES VERY WELL. IT GOES DOWN THE ROAD VERY NICE AND TRACKS STRAIGHT. ITS REALLY A PLEASURE TO DRIVE. IVE PUT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MILES ON THIS CAR AND IT IS TIGHT. THE OPTIONS INCLUDE SIX WAY POWER SEAT, POWER WINDOWS, SLIDE AWAY STEERING WHEEL AND POWER LOCKS. SOMEONE HAD PUT AFTERMARKET AIR CONDITIONING IN THE CAR AT SOME POINT, BUT IT IS NOW REMOVED. THE WINDOWS IN BACK WORK, BUT THEY SOMETIMES NEED A LITTLE HELP FROM LACK OF USE. ALSO SOMEONE PUT AN OLD AM FM 8 TRACK IN THE DASH, WHICH IS NOT ORIGINAL. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR, I WOULD LOVE TO KEEP THIS FOR MYSELF BUT I HAVE TOO MANY OTHER PROJECTS. IM TAKING A LOSS AT THIS PRICE. YOU COULD NOT BUILD A CAR AT MY PRICE. ITS VERY FAIR CONSIDERING WHAT YOU ARE GETTING. ANYONE WHO KNOWS T-BIRDS KNOWS THERE IS AN INCREASE IN INTEREST IN THESE CARS AND THEY ARE BECOMING MORE POPULAR. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THE MARKER LIGHTS ARE INSTALLED THIS CAR IS FOR PICKUP ONLY. IT IS THE BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY TO ARRANGE TO PICK UP THE CAR. THE INSURANCE AND REGISTRATION ON CAR WILL BE CANCELLED PRIOR TO BUYER PICKUP SO BUYER WILL HAVE TO ARRANGE TO INSURE AND REGISTER CAR TO BE DRIVEN OR MUST BE TRAILERED. I ALSO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION EARLY DUE TO IT BEING FOR SALE LOCALLY. I JUST WANTED TO LIST ALL THE PARTS THAT ARE NEW ON THE CAR. THEY INCLUDE-BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER, ALL THE BRAKE LINES, ALL FOUR WHEEL CYLINDERS, THE STRUT ROD BUSHINGS, THE SWAY BAR END LINKS, THE FRONT CALIPERS, NEW FRONT PADS AND REAR SHOES, NEW TIRES UP FRONT, NEW COIL, THE CARBURATOR IS AN EDELBROCK WITH AN ELECTRIC CHOKE THAT IS A COUPLE YEARS OLD, NEW FRONT AND REAR GABRIEL SHOCKS, THE REARS ARE AIR ADJUSTABLE, NEW MUFFLERS IN THE BACK, NEW TRUNK UPHOLSTERY, THE TOP HAS A NEW PUMP, AND EVERYTHING IN THE TOP MECHANISM WAS SWAPPED FROM A WORKING TOP THAT HAD ALOT OF PARTS REPLACED. THE CARPET IS NEWER, THIS IS EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF. On Aug-16-10 at 08:45:21 PDT, seller added the following information: Please email me with any questions or offers
