Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this 1966 Ford Thunderbird Landau Coupe!! Wow, the history of the Thunderbird is rich! Debuting all the way back in 1955, the Thunderbird was Ford's immediate response to the newly marketed Corvette. Rushed from idea to prototype in under a year! The Thunderbird would become one of Ford's longest produced cars. Spanning from 1955-1997, and 2002-2005, the Thunderbird would see not just a few redesigns, but 11 generations in total! Here we have a 1966, the last year of the fourth generation. A "Z" code car. The white paint is in good shape, shows very well and the black vinyl top is complemented by the nice conditioned black vinyl interior. Under the hood is a rebuilt 390ci V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission. This car has been converted to fuel injection! Only ~3000 miles have been clocked since the rebuild. Runs, drives and shifts smooth, very comfortable cruiser with good power. Recent work performed, replaced master cylinder, and bled hydraulic system. Also underwent a coolant system check and A/C repair. Current owner has had her for over 12 years, acquired from a private owner out of Ohio. One of the best features about these cars in my opinion are the sliding steering wheels to help enter the car with ease. This car comes with a shop manual and the original window sticker! If you are looking for a big comfortable cruising ride that won't break the bank, this ride is for you! Options on this Thunderbird are: A/C, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Windows/Locks, Seat, Vinyl Interior, AM/FM Radio, and Radial Tires.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
