 Ford's big convertible for 1971 and one of the last big domestic convertibles built.

I've owned this car since about 1992. She's been restored (mainly by Mark Russell) and converted to RHD. She is smooth, quite, a dream to drive and with front wheel disks, stops safely. From 1996 to 2007 she won at least one award per year (apart from 2001 when I was O / S). Including 3 State Titles and a drive round the G.P. track at Albert Park in 2004 when she won Shannon's Show 'n Shine Best Post War Classic award. Needs a bit of work but still looks good.

I took delivery of my '66 T'Bird in July 2006 after a two year restoration. I'm currently having the engine rebuilt and am hoping to be cruising in it by Christmas. With a return to a squarer design, this is generally regarded as the last of the classic shapes. It was also the final convertible Thunderbird until 2002. My car has most of the options that were available for the year - air-conditioning, power steering, driver seat, windows - including front quarter vents and roof. Also the antenna. Like my '63, it is RHD.
