1966 Ford Thunderbird Convertible This 1966 Thunderbird Convertible is a fantastic running and driving project car. The 390 runs great, the transmission shifts perfectly, and the car rides like a dream. I have recently put a bunch of new parts and work into it to get it running and driving safely. See below for the list of new parts and the hits and misses.Engine: 390 4VTrans: C6 Cruise-O-Matic Title: Clean title in hand, current CA registrationHits:Overall the car is in fair shape. Runs, drives, and stops great. No overheating or smoking. Compression is even at 140 psi. The interior is 100% there and only has one rip in the rear seat cushion. No cracks in dash pad. All of the chrome trim is there but pitted, and the carpet is serviceable but is faded.The power top works, and all the power windows work except the passenger side wing window, which needs a new motor. The electrical is in good shape and is unmolested. Sequential taillights work. The floorpans are solid, but were replaced at some point. Trunk and underhood sheet metal, wheel wells, and frame extensions are also good. The fenders and hood are solid.All air conditioning parts are intact, but does not blow very cold.
