The Ford Thunderbird was created in 1955 as Ford’s ‘personal luxury car’ in response to the rising tide of performance-oriented models. Ford wanted to create something with a focus on driving comfort and with convenience features. Initially penned as a two-seater, the 1958-onwards model introduced a rear seat, and it can be considered America’s interpretation of a ‘Grand Tourer’. In fact, the Thunderbird was so well received that between 1968 and 1998, Ford’s sister brand Lincoln marketed rebadged Thunderbirds as various models in its lineup. This 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Coupe available for sale is a fourth-generation Thunderbird. The fourth generation ran between 1964 and 1966 and saw a restyle towards a more squared-off design ethos. Two hundred thirty-six thousand examples of the fourth generation were produced over its three-year span. Offered as a hardtop or convertible, this example is a hardtop known as the Town Coupe variant. The car comes from Illinois, is reported to be a numbers-matching car and has seen 52,975 miles so far. It is also said to be an all-original survivor by the current owner, who is stated to have inherited the car.
This 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Coupe is reported to have been repainted at some point in its life. The exterior is a shade of maroon that, in some lighting, tinges towards coppery, lending it an alluring shade. The car rolls on period-correct rims and Thunderbird-etched hubcaps, wrapped in Dunlop tires with white stripes. It is also reported to be undercoated. The interior is an all-black affair with leather seating for four adults, a thin-rimmed steering wheel with Thunderbird boss and a full array of gauges. Factory-fitted air conditioning is also present, as is a push-button radio and chrome interior trim.
Fourth-generation Thunderbirds came with a choice of three V8 engines, ranging from 390ci to 428ci. This 1966 example is equipped with the 390ci (6.4L) V8 that drives the rear wheels through a Ford C6 three-speed automatic transmission. Originally putting out 300bhp, the output gained an increase to 315bhp for 1966. The Thunderbird is a comfort cruiser, which is reflected in its soft suspension set-up. Braking is via discs at the front and drums at the rear.

The first generation Ford Mustang sold by the proverbial bucketload during its production run that spanned late 1964 until 1973. It had created a class of fun to drive two-door family cars called pony cars, and would be a trend-setter for decades. For many Mustang punters, the first generation in fastback form is the holy grail – of course aided by its appearance in Bullitt where many smokey burnouts ensued. Today, we have a 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback Restomod that’s definitely capable of vaporizing its tires, thanks to a blueprint 347ci V8 and some neat mods. This car is currently up for sale in Morgan Hill, California and has got under 23,000 miles on the clock.
Ford’s Bronco was the first Sport Utility Vehicle – that’s SUV to you and me – to be developed by Ford. When it was released in 1966, it became clear that the Blue Oval had knocked it out of the park on their first try. The Bronco would be a sales success, with five generations made until 1996, then a twenty five year hiatus and a fine sixth generation that continues on sale to this day. Owning a classic Bronco is a bucket list item for many, and we’ve got one vehicle up for grabs today. Here’s a second-generation 1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT up for sale in Downey, California. The second generation was introduced in 1978, making this vehicle straight from the first year of production. It’s got under 95,000 miles on the clock, a 400ci V8 under the hood and a nice green two-tone color theme about it. A Marti report is included with the sale.
