1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau Description

This beautiful 66 was resurrected after spending the majority of its life in storage. She's a Q-code (which means she has a 428 engine) Town Landau edition, which means she has virtually ANY/ALL options Ford offered including AC and the AM/8-track (VERY rare). She's been restored to operation and is ready for car shows and road trips! She's not a perfect, 100-point car. I've listed what I know still needs accomplished. I'm selling, because my 57 needs work, and I had to choose between them.
There's so much to tell about this bird, but here are some highlights:

- The 428 engine is strong and has never been rebuilt. It was inspected (valve covers and oil pan removed for visual inspection prior to firing) and given a clean bill of health. This bird loves to run at 85mph!

- I'm the 4th owner/3rd family to own her. I have the complete ownership history, and I've been gathering receipts, gate receipt, and the window sticker. All documents, some additional parts, and a flash drive of pictures come with the purchase. There are also some interesting stories to go along with this bird (including a Saudi Arabian prison!) that I'll tell the buyer.

- The interior is all original with no signs of wear. The only minor issue is a small burn hole in the passenger seat from someone smoking inside.

- In 1997, there is an entry in the maintenance record of "paint" for $167. This appears to be only for touchups, and suggests this is the factory paint and top!
