This 1966 Ford Thunderbird Landau is originally from South Carolina. It was purchased by a mechanic in Florida who did a wonderful re-painting, vinyl roof and engine work on the car...that is obvious. I cannot verify the accuracy of the mileage. He added new shocks, and tires, then I had the carburator re-built, replaced the belts and radiator hoses and the battery. The car runs great, drives like a dream and gets compliments where ever I go. There are no dents or scratches, just a small ding on the driver side. The hub caps are new, I still have the boxes they came in, produced by Ford. The trunk is clean and the liner in good shape. The jack is all there, but I do not have a spare. The body is solid, the engine strong and quiet and the transmission shifts smoothly. There is some oil pan drip, but very little. I started purchasing items to make this car show ready, yet realize I do not have the tools or the background to do it the way it should be done. The interior is in good condition, yet needs further detail work. So, as great as the outside of this car is, this is what you should know. The air conditioning does not work, and needs the core replaced. The compressor tested fine, and all hoses are in place. The driver seat is split, and the foam in both front seats should be replaced. I have replacement covers, replacement foam, and bull ring tool/kit to replace them. The seat package includes covers for the back seat as well. The heat and air controls work, but should be checked and some seals replaced because the temperature does not change when moving from cold to hot. The map light and one vent control do not work. I have new cables for them. The wipers work, the dash lights all work, and the worm gear speedometer not only works but is just down right 'cool.' The gas, temperature and alternator gauges work, but I believe the water temperature sending unit is out. The console has a Kenwood replacement radio with power amplifier under the passenger seat. I actually purchased a replacement console as the console may have been cut to fit this radio. I have a factory reproduction AM/FM radio/cassette unit with in-trunk 10 CD changer to go in the existing console, or the replacement console should the existing one prove to be cut (I have not removed the face plate or radio to check). The door panels have some cracking, and the decorative panels are somewhat faded, yet the chrome pieces are good. I have replacement panels that require you to salvage the trim and decorative pieces. I have also purchased new kick panels. Where the fuse block is, that panel is cracked, so, I got an OEM re-made replacement. I also purchased a replacement back deck as the mechanic also replaced the back speaker and used a speaker cover that is not true to the original car. The roof liner is new, but the controls in the roof panel do not work. I also have a replacement screw kit for the interior. Finally, I believe the drip pans that catch water that drops down the vent openings in front of the wind shield allowing it to drain-out thru openings in the firewall allow water to get into the car. This should be sealed so water does not get into the car. I believe I have covered everything. If you are looking for a classic T Bird and love the style of this car like I do, and want to have someone do the final detail work or do it yourself, you will be hard pressed to find a better car. Thank you for your interest and good luck bidding.
