1966 Ford Thunderbird Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
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.Mar 30, 2014

Dark 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.Oct 19, 2011

I've always disliked FORD, but became very attached to this Beauty! It
sounds and drives very NICE! The only thing I never had fixed and
didn't have the patience for was the electrical wiring for the seat
adjusting, mirrors, and window down/up--it just seems to be
something loose because it will work one minute and hit a slight bump
and then not work. There REALLY IS a SECOND SET OF (just about)
EVERYTHING for this Classic! So ordering stuff as such won't be a
hassle or cost a pretty penny--cuz I have extras (in GREAT) shape for
this car. It is like driving a big boat--but is strong and solid. The paint
job is still looking good--minus a few MINOR scratches(VERY MINOR).
There are no dents or dings--NO body damage AT ALL! My older
Brother left it behind when he went to college and left it up to me to
sell for him. I have had my drive or two...and it has been in my back
yard with a FOR SALE sign on it for years...just no publicity. Mar 27, 2011

It is an over all amazing car, smooth on the ride, the horse power is there, but sucks on gas milage, it is a babe getter, and I wish I still had mine, would buy it in a heart beat if i ever got the chance to again.Aug 08, 2009

Restoration 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.Jul 05, 2009
