NOTE: The odometer reads 5,925 (105,925) But all mechanical restoration work took place at 101,500, so there is really only 4,425 Miles on this vehicle. Officially 50 years old this year, the 1966 Thunderbird was the final model year of the "Jet Bird" T-Birds (1964-66) and what most T-Bird enthusiasts will tell you, the Thunderbird itself. One of the American auto industry's greatest nameplates,Thunderbird is the Southwest Indians' God of Rain and Prosperity. Designed by Joe Oros, the 1966 Thunderbird would rise to become the most collectible Bird not manufactured between 1955-57. Gone from Oros's '64 and '65 model Tbirds was 500 lbs of chrome, mostly from the front end. A light weight caste egg crate grille replaced it, sporting a larger than life chrome Thunderbird. Carried over from the 1965 model was the sequential turn, but now the rear headlights were comprised of one row of nine bulbs behind three red lenses. At night, the rear of a 1966 Thunderbird with its lights on is clearly distinguishable from all other cars. New for 1966 was the 428 CID engine option to the traditional 390 most cars came with. Finally, the 1966 Thunderbird was offered in five different models. The Hardtop which had rear quarter windows, and the Landau which was the Hardtop with a landau covered roof. Next up the chart was the Town Hardtop (no landau covered roof) and Town Landau. which had no rear quarter windows in order to offer what would be Ford's first personal luxury car. At the top of the list was the convertible. In 1984, one of my work colleagues and I were discussing our favorite cars. I informed him that when I was five years old, my mother had an Emberglo colored 1966 Ford Thunderbird, and that when she and my father went out at night, I would sneak into the driveway with her key, and turn the directional signal on so that I could watch the sequential turn signals, 1-2-3, 1-2-3. A week later, he invited me over to his father's house in Detroit and while I stood outside in the driveway, he pressed the garage door remote. As I stood there, the door slowly lifted to reveal the front end of a white 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Hardtop. Later that evening his father returned home and we talked about the car. He had purchased it in South Carolina from its original owner as a gift for his oldest daughter. The problem was, she didn't want it, so he brought it home to Michigan where it sat in the garage for five years. By the end of the night I had purchased it and commenced what would be a personal obsession, to take this beauty back in time to March 31, 1966 when she rolled off the line at Ford's Wixom Michigan assembly plant. In 1989, the 428 CID engine was pulled and sent to Booth-Aarons, a very well respected and regarded engine repair shop in Berkley, Michigan, where it was bored out to 440 CID and upgraded with a new cam, crank, and most importantly, titanium valve seats so that lead additive would no longer be required. With the engine running at idle, I could put a dime on the air cleaner nut and it didn't move. Next was the C-6 transmission, the rear end, the entire suspension system, the brakes, hydraulic, and vacuum system, and all the remaining mechanical parts including the air compressor, evaporator, heater core, and most of the electrical. The 4 BBL carburetor was also overhauled Ten years later it was the interior and exterior's turn. While it was a frame on restoration, the car was soda blasted down to the bare metal and all Bondo and filler removed, and the damaged left quarter panel removed and a new one welded on. The chrome plating all show chromed and the stainless all replaced with new old stock parts. Even the front egg crate grill and the large Thunderbird adorning it were brand new right out of the box. A power antenna was installed as was the right side mirror, both of which were options, but not ordered on this car. New carpeting was installed and the seats reupholstered with new foam and leather quality vinyl fabric. The finishing touch was the five custom made Coker red stripe white wall tires that matched what Ford put on this car in 1966. Three years ago I had her back in for routine adjustments and minor repairs to insure she remains in tip top shape and appearance. Is she perfect? No as there are still some faults, such as the trunk leaks when it rains or you wash the car. Most likely it's through the rear vent (my mother's '66 did the same thing) and this has lead to some rusting under the trunk liner but it can be sanded and repainted. There is a small paint blister on the left rocker panel forward of the left rear wheel, but this looks more like a paint issue than rust. This is also easily repairable. On the good side, the engine purrs, the transmission shifts smoothly, the a/c blows cold and the heat hot. The paint is clear coated Wimbledon White with a hint of a creamy cast to it. It has a glazed glossy look to it and gleams. The interior is two-tone blue, with the headliner a sky blue and the rest of interior a dark blue. Up front, this car has the rare Q code 428 CID engine putting out 400 horsepower. She rides like a dream with power to spare yet she has very nimble handling characteristics. Multi-piston front disc brakes and rear drums stop her quickly. Finally, I installed a 4 speaker AM/FM Cassette radio as the original system is AM only. I've had her for 31 years and I don't have the time or the ability to enjoy her as much as I would like. When I purchased her, she had only 98,000 miles. Today she's approaching 109,525, of which only 4,425 miles is post-restoration. I want her to go to a good home where she will be maintained and enjoyed, but I'm not giving her away. I know what I have into her and what she is worth. Sure, there are many Thunderbirds out there, but not many like this. Someone can claim that his car is all original and only has 12,000 miles on it, but that's bunk. Mileage doesn't kill a car, time does and cars this old require mechanical restorations no matter how little they are driven, because rubber, gaskets, hoses, and metal all degrade. This car has been very well maintained, you might even say spoiled. She was my first of many classic cars and is one of the last I am parting with. The one thing on this car I have never been able to get to work right is the clock. I had the original one overhauled multiple times and finally replaced it and guess what? Same problem. Sorry, but they never did keep good time and why should this one be an exception? To start her, it is necessary to pull up on the parking lever. Most of these Birds worked the same way. I never adjusted the neutral start switch as this acted as a theft deterrent. She comes with 1966 Ford Thunderbird shop manual. She has been constantly stored in a facility with infrared heating that keeps the air at a dry 50 degrees in the winter. She also comes complete with a dark blue cotton lined satin cover and carrying bag. Feel free to contact my agent "GREG" at 248-766-2403 to make any arrangements to view this beauty in person. I am not presently carrying liability and collision insurance on her, so any test drive will be limited to the vicinity of where the vehicle is stored.
