Vehicle Detail

Your looking at a very nice condition 1966 Ford Thunderbird Landau edition with some minor customizations. Over all condition is very good. A great Saturday night cruiser or a great day at a car show and thats what Ive been doing with it for the past 10 years but its time for something new. She starts easy and runs all days smooth and drives straight. She always turns heads and starts conversations everywhere I go. I bought this 10 years ago from my uncle who bought it from his father so to my knowledge I'm the 3rd owner and the millage is original. In the last 10 years Ive only put about 2000 miles on it going to local car shows and an occasional date night,other then that shes kept in my garage and hasnt seen rain or salty roads since Ive owned it. If you look at the pictures you T-Bird buffs will notice some cosmetic differences then what a stock Landau would have. Most noticeably are the round rear windows like a 55' TBird has. The rear decorative "S" shaped stock trim was removed (I have the original trim in the trunk) and round windows from a 55' Tbird were custom installed to give it a bit of a 55' look. This is one of the coolest and most unique touches that this car has and Ive never seen that done on any other bird. You will also notice the absence of the fender skirts on the rear wells that most models of this year had. This car was made with the trim package instead if the skirts,a rare option on this year. Those are not the original hub cabs either (I have the original hubcaps in the trunk). I believe these hubcaps are from a 1990 Thunderbird but they work so well why change it back. Some other mechanical upgrades have been made to make it more "drivable" on a regular basis and some just for maintenance purposes. *Stock points were removed and replaced with a MSD ignition. *Stock 2 barrel carb was replaced with Holly 4 Barrel carb. *Dual exhaust all the way back with chrome tips. *Stock single piston calipers were removed and replaced with Mustang 2 piston calipers. *Gas lines and brake lines were replaced. *Front end ball joints and bushings were replaced. *paint was resprayed at some point. original color. THIS IS A NON AC CAR but has every other option. POWER EVERYTHING including power seats and side tilt steering wheel. This car isnt perfect and I will list its problems to the best of my ability. *the heater coil is blown out so theres no heat. I only drive the car in the summer so this was never a problem. the heater coil was bypassed to avoid leaking into the cabin. *the floorboards are starting to rot out and have a small hole and will probably need to be replaced to make this care perfect. *The radiator has a very small leak somewhere but usually isnt an issue. I just check the level and add whatever is missing. Usually about a cup worth if you drive it all weekend. MINOR *some minor dings and scratches on the surface but the body and paint are in good condition. *minor oil leak (usually a few drops in the garage floor from when it sits for a while. VERY MINOR *Stock clock stopped working *Window weather stripping is dry rotted and needs to be replaced for cosmetic purposes. *the door panels are a bit weathered and cracked *some minor pitting of chrome parts but this is expected from a 50 year old car. Other then what I listed everything works perfectly. All guages,bells and whistles still work. Shes a buy and drive home kind of car. Runs and Drives perfect!!! I CAN SEND MORE PICTURES FOR SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY!!!
