Q-code... in cars it means the ultimate sleeper, and so this 1966
Ford Thunderbird Landau Coupe might just be the ultimate Q-ship
Q-code. After all, it has a terrific vintage look, classic loaded
interior, and a big 428ci V8 lying in wait.
This coupe has a first impression of very vintage elegance. The
factory-correct Dark Turquoise Metallic was refreshed later in
life, and it still retains a nice gloss in the sunlight. And the
special Landau roof is covered in premium white vinyl and it has a
jewel-like ornamentation. This was the era when the Thunderbird
really looked like Lincoln had made them with the way the front
bumper follows the contour of the angular nose, and the rear one
surrounds the full-width taillights. There are even more great
details, like the elegant Thunderbird wheel covers, rear fender
skirts, whitewall tires, and the hallmark sequential rear turn
signals. So the first impression is pure class.
The turquoise interior sets the tone nicely for the factory-correct
Aqua interior. So this is a well harmonized package inside and out.
Not only does it look good in the main areas, like the seats, door
panels, and carpeting, but also the details, like the working clock
and map lights. This was all about providing individual luxury, and
everyone has their own bucket seat - including the rear. But this
T-bird gives priority to the driver. That's why the dash and center
console are a seamless design focused around you. The dual-spoke
steering wheel is not only on Ford's cool swing-away mount, but it
also gives you a fantastic view of the space-age gauges. The AM
radio is still cranking out tunes, the power locks are functioning
correctly, and the wood-like trim is in great shape to make this
space classically elegant. This has smooth-action power windows, so
you never have to leave the driver's set to show off the full
pillarless profile. Plus, there are provisions for R134a air
conditioning (will need servicing) if you want an added cool
breeze.
This is the kind of engine bay you'll love showing off, because a
proper Q-code T-bird means Ford's mighty 428 cubic-inch V8. We love
the way the big blue block and bold air topper look against the
dark engine bay. And the belts, wires, and hoses all show the right
maintenance. But more than just look nice, this was built to be
driven. That's why this big block has a newer Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor, and there's an upgrade to an aluminum radiator to help
keep it running cool. The dual exhaust lets the V8 exhale with
dignified authority, and that's the theme for the whole feeling on
the road. The three-speed automatic transmission, power steering,
and power brakes with discs up front make this a smooth and
authoritative classic.
This is a cool big block T-bird with plenty of extra power and
panache to offer. So at a price like this, you know you need to
hurry on this deal. Call today!!!
