Hi! I am currently selling my vintage 1966 Ford Thunderbird Convertible, which I have had now for several years. The vehicle is charm to drive and looks great, always turning heads where ever it goes. The vehicle is finished in Ford's vintage burgundy metallic with a matching leather interior, and optional tourneau to cover the back seat. In addition it has both a fully functioning and automatic black convertible top and mesmerizing sequential rear brake lights. The vehicle's engine was refurbished by its previous and original owner, and has had virtually no issues since my purchase and for this reason I pay very little attention to the odometer which currently reads at around 200k miles, thought it is really more like 15-20k miles on this newer refurbished motor. The engine itself is a 390cid (z-code) 8-cylinder block with 315bhb to go along with a surprisingly fun 3-speed automatic transmission that features multiple drive modes. The Thunderbird rides on 15" white wall tube tires with Kelsey Hayes chrome wire wheels, and has a professionally reconstructed undercarriage & added hydraulic suspension which was built to look like the original and is virtually indistinguishable to even the eyes of Thunderbird fanatics. This hydraulic suspension can be inflated to adjust the vehicles ground clearance for various purposes. For the sake of practicality some other small alterations have been made to the vehicle. These include: the removal of a non-functioning radiator, a manual tender switch for the battery, a replacement two-barrel carburetor for improved fuel economy, and lastly a 12-speaker Alpine remote controlled, hideaway sound system under the front passenger seat which features AM/FM radio, CD player, and auxiliary integration for iPods and etc. Lastly, I have a complete history of the vehicle since it has been in my possession containing all necessary and relevant information. Though I consider myself to be quite well versed in the world of cars, I am not the original owner of this vehicle and because of its long history there may be some things that I have not been or am not aware of. Please feel free to message me with questions and I will do my best to answer them! Serious buyers only please, thanks!

Ford Fiesta ST customs get wild at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The massive 57-car SEMA showcase by Ford ranges from obvious aftermarket-friendly models like the Mustang, to the not so obvious ones, like the Transit Connect and cute-as-an-explosive-button Fiesta ST. Ford plucked several Fiesta STs for SEMA duty, and we were on the show floor today to get a closer look at some of them.
First up is the striking COBB Tuning and Tanner Foust Racing Fiesta ST (above) finished in a black-and-gray digital camouflage, much like that used in the military, and is meant to raise awareness for the Pat Tillman Foundation. COBB also fitted a three-inch exhaust and a cold-air intake. A new shift knob, carbon-fiber hood and a Kicker stereo round out the mix of upgrades.
MRT got its hands on a Fiesta ST and created a car inspired by Forza Motorsport 5 (below, left). Featuring a two-tone paint job and more performance upgrades than you can shake a stick at, this Fiesta ST is one of the cooler compacts at Ford's stand. A high-performance exhaust system, along with a complimentary COBB induction system, allows the ST to breathe better, while an H&R coil over suspension and Steeda brakes help it stop and turn better than stock.
1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.
Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief
Thu, 29 May 2014The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
