The 1966 Ford Thunderbird finally showed an improvement in its engine and therefore in performance: a 7.0-liter, 428-ci V8 rated at 345 horsepower replaced the sputtering 6.4-liter 390-ci V8 rated at 315 horses.
Ford also played with its trim line a bit, replacing the Landau with the Town Landau. The Town trims featured formal-looking roofs, creating more of a cabin for the T-bird.

I love everything about this car. It drives like a dream. It glides down the road. One of only 75 built with the 428 Q code, power windows, seats and Factory Air. Immaculate condition. Under 70k miles too. Fun all the way around.
March 30, 2014Restoration project car while in a California Car Club. Wound up taking Best In Show for restoration. Beautiful car Champagne in Color. Loved the tilt and swing away steering wheel. Difficult to find replacement parts for because it was a one year only car inside and out.
July 5, 2009Dark green, metal flake, gloss coated new paint job. New chrome on bumpers. Original engine. Lots of power. Like riding on a cloud. Owned for 28 years. Still have to redo the interior. Cool slide to the side steering wheel. Speedometer is solid red line. Leather seats, electric drivers seat adjustment. Electric windows. Vaccuum controlled vents.

October 19, 2011It’s a pretty good deal, missing PW and A/C. With some rust on front bumper and front floor boards. But rest of car is in pretty good shape
December 23, 2022everything about her i love! how she's a 60s car and not some fat huge modern car. how she's as strait as could be and has a beautiful color. i wouldn't trade this car for any car in the world.
February 27, 2014Big sports car! the 428 really puts you back in the seat but it has a sleeper look that is very classic.
