The '66 is the most handsome of that 3 year series and the Q code makes it special. Hope it finds a good home.

66s look good but I disagree I like the 65s. Sequential lights, i like the side chrome on the front fender and much prefer the more classy chrome bumper and grill. My opinion of course

This was my first car, purchased by my father from Galpin ford in Los Angeles. It was a Q code and it passed everything but, a gas station. 5 mpg. I had to let it go years ago due to divorce. I still miss it. Mine was gun metal grey with a grey interior.

The stainless wheel opening trim was standard. If you ordered rear fender shields, the rear wheel opening trim was omitted. Somebody added the rear fender shields to this car at a later date, but neglected to remove the rear wheel opening trim - looks goofy. Quite a clean and unmolested example of a '66 Town Landau. That Firestone Deluxe Champion is the original factory spare tire - never been used! The parking brake has a vacuum release feature that automatically releases the parking brake when the car is put in gear. It has the Sierra Cloth insert upholstery option which was relatively rare. The 428 engine option is icing on the cake and a definite plus! These were gorgeous cars! The '66 model was the best looking of this 3-year series.

That was my first car. I had the Maroon one with the Police Interceptor 390 4B ivory inside and Black Vinyl top. Exactly the same opinions! In 1973 I paid 1k for it . She was the classiest car I ever owned. She was fast too.

I looked at a 66' with a 428 around 1975 or 76 as my first car. Was ready to buy but the seller decided not to sell so I found a 1969 Ply. Roadrunner and bought it.

Wow super clean

I had a 66 Bird and worked on it constantly so I know every inch of them. I loved that car but as I said it required a lot of work. It was in great shape but I always found work to do and at the time it was only 11 years old. The 64, 65 were not very nice looking in my opinion though and the 66 was sleek and the cats ass!

The 64 and 65 were almost identical to the 66' except the front grill and tail lamps were just slightly different. How the 64 and 65 not look nice but the 66 does?

@@matrox i respect that! All a matter of an opinion funny how we both think the opposite grill is more classy. To each their own, respect 🫡

They look best in red and white.

True Class.

You kinda look like Elton John during the drive! 😂 love these videos!~

If it's the green dot transmission make sure I drop it into the second shifter position which is actually the starting in low gear position

I believe that was 345 HP

EVEN that's Underrated! FORD kept ACTUAL H.P #s DOWN ! , to Appease the GOVERNMENT and ,lower INSURANCE rated Back then !

Very nice car!

Those cars weighed about 4500lbs. They were heavy.

Once everything including the clock is working again, it will be a great car. However, having BOTH stainless steel trim around the rear wheel openings, AND fender skirts, is a bit weird. Should be “one or the other!”

@@patrickmartin3322 Nope, NOT factory! Stainless wheel opening trim was not used if rear fender shields were specified. Those are not 1966 rear fender shields either, they are the '64/'65 version, obviously added to the car at a later date. '66 skirts had stainless trim at their lower edge.

Nice car. Driver unfortunately doesn't know how to use the transmission. C6 is a gem. The second range (big dot, not the dot in the circle) is better for standing start acceleration. Old drag racer showed me on mine. Big difference. Too heavy to be really competitive but against late 70s cars it would eat 'em up.

Yes, to start in 1st gear the shifter must be in the green dot (second down from neutral) position. Starting in 2nd will obviously hurt acceleration.

Trump shades are interesting, the car is America's favorite for realz!

Rear bumper is not mounted correctly… way too big of a gap along the trunk lid gap… looks like it’s tipped out at the top… jus sayin’. we had one back in the early 70s. Ford Diamond Blue… very cool car.

Nice very nice 👍 👍👍👍👍❤😂😅.

Thats a Bias ply spare.

Mine was nicer. Gave it to my mom. She sold it for 1,500.

It was a dog when it was new. Bow Wow Bow Wow
