My mother had a 1966 Thunderbird and when she was 87 it was sold at a house sale in suth Alabama. I am looking for the man who bought it, as I have the owner’s manual along with the names of all the previous owners. I would like for him to have it to go with her beloved car. Is there any way to find an owner? I have the VIN. Kathie

That is such a terrific story. My Dad had a loaded 66 T/Bird Convertible. It was a purpleish/Lavender with a white top and leather interior. It had buttons on the stering wheel(highway pilot control).I had my own power seat(passenger)that reclined. It even had power vent windows. Not to mention a 7litre motor. That car was boss. I never forgot it. I now own a identically equipped red/red lthr/white top 66′
loaded bird. I even have the 8 track stereo. No fender skirts. I kept the spinner wheel covers. Although looking at your car makes one think ? Great trade decision ! We kept our 73′ PanteraL with even now just 7227 original miles……

I love the red and white, just repainted mine med. blue.I Was hoping that someone out there would be able to help me. I’m new to working with cars since my father isnt quite mechanically inclined. I have a 66′ t-bird almost done restoring it just need to fine tune the engine I was hoping that someone could tell me how i might get some more power out of it cause it feels kinds sluggish. email @ jemaras@jacks.sdstate.edu or call 6057590585

I have a 1966 bird the onlything Idon’tlike about it is only has a single cyl master cyl. Also the rear louvers on the car allow water and junk into the cavity below the rear window and the two ruber drains pluged up and I had rust and places where it rusted out.. going to fiber glass the cavity and block the louver so water can’t get down into that cavity and replace the panels , that have rusted from this problem.
I realy injoy the car had new front end suspension parts replaced driveline timed and rear diff overhaul seting to long and gers rusted.
