Description : Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is excited to present this sleek red 1966 Ford Thunderbird. This '66 Thunderbird for sale is a pure beauty that's ready for the next show, cruise-in, or Sunday drive. This is a true Q-code car, so a healthy 428 CID big block V8 powers this bad boy, sending its seemingly endless torque through its smooth-shifting 3-speed automatic transmission. Nothing drives quite like a big, bodied Thunderbird. Simply put, it's like floating on a cloud. With power brakes, she stops easily. With power steering, one finger is all it takes to turn this lovely long-bodied beauty. If the comfort and ease of driving doesn't hook you, the lines of the car surely will. The big 'Bird's styling takes numerous cues from 1960's America's fascination with space exploration, jet fighter aircraft, and rockets. From its profile to its interior, one can see the aeronautic influences. In the cabin, the cockpit-styled instrumentation and switchgear are reminiscent of an aircraft cockpit's levers and toggles. The exterior is painted an eye-catching shade of red, which creates a very sharp and sporty looking cruiser. Add this to the polished trim and large chrome bumpers, and you'll find yourself in a trance while you gaze at this stunning T-bird. The interior follows suit, with tons of room and looks as inviting as your momma's living room back home. Oversized synthetic leather seating surrounds you both front and back, as you find yourself becoming one with the interior. It simply feels like you've relaxed at home for the day, settled in your couch or recliner. The interior is nostalgic and vintage, a real time capsule! Additional features and options on this 1966 Thunderbird include AM/FM radio, Power Convertible Top, Power Brakes, Power Locks, Power Steering, Power Windows, Radial Tires, Seat Belts, and Vinyl Interior. Don't let this one slip past you - call or email our Houston Showroom today to make it yours!

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.
