                                             WOW !  WOW ! & WOW  AGAIN !!!

         Check out this " truly wonderfull" car.  So many times you will  see a car advertized as "low mileage" , "survivor", or  other buzz words

    describing it. But more times than not, it turns out to be a car that although it may have low miles etc., A  lot of restoration is needed

     or was done before the car could live up to the description given in the ad. Sometimes, it's just a lie !.

          NOT HERE!. Let me tell you about this car. This was a one owner car from the time it was new until the owner passed away and

     i purchased it from the family just  about two years ago. I was told that the car was garage kept since new and never exposed to bad weather

     and i   believe it!.  You will too when you see it in person. It is a rust and corrosion free automobile !.

       It is "COMPLETELY" original .) and it is  in just about as close to  " original new" condition  as i could imagine a car to

   be !. It has 32700 documented miles on it  Great service records along with the original  bill of sale and " protecto- plate."

      It's  really quite amazing .When you look at things like the carpet, the headliner, the fabric on the seats, etc.

     you can't help but wonder how someone was able to maintain a car in this condition for so many years.

      Here are some details.

     _____________________________EXTERIOR_______________________________________________________________

           As i hope you can see in the photos, the body on the car is as straight as an arrow. the dark blue paint is clear&bright with

      only a " very few", very minor", surface scratches hardly worth noting but i don't want to leave anything out.

            The chrome bumpers as well as the the grill and all the exterior bright work including the wheel covers are like new Even the rubber

      bumper guards are in great shape.

          There is however , a very  small dent in the aluminum fender trim on the rear passenger  side. I think that it rubbed something in the garage.

          It is very insugnifficant. The White vinyl top is perfect condition.  All of the glass is in great condition including the windshield, side and rear   

       glass and side mirror glass.  The headlights,taillights, parking lights, emblems, etc. are all in perfect condition. Open the door s and check

     out the sill plates and hinges as well as the paint etc.

   ____________________________INTERIOR_______________________________________________________________

        You know the old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" ?  well take a very close look a the photos of the interior.

 and  remember "It's all original !".  The headliner looks like it's a day old. The seat covers  don't show any wear and when

 you sit down on them, you feel like you are in a new car. a new car. The carpet looks like no one ever stepped on it.  The arm

rests are in perfect condition as are the door panels. All the interior brightwork ( door handles, trim, etc.) is like new.

  The dash is the same ( like new). All of the guages work. The dash glass is clear & bright  but as you may expect, the clock doesn't

 work !. I wonder why the clocks never seem to work in older cars.?.

  _______________________________MECHANICAL________________________________________________________-

      The 351M/400 motor runs perfectly and even gets good gas mileage. The car  is equipped with power steering that steers effortlessly.

      power brakes that stop on a dime and an  automatic transmisson that shifts smoothly and doesn't leak. It even  has  air conditioning

      that blows "ice cold". The tires are brand new. The original radio still  works and there are remote control right & left side exterior  mirrors .

           The car sits straight and level on the tight and solid suspension. No rust under the car. The exhaust system is good.

       The front end, brakes, steering and electrical system are all good. No problems anywhere !!!.

         The car has been "Zebart" and" Hercules" rust proof protected from new".

     ________________________-OVERVIEW____________________________________________________________________-

                 The 1978 Thunderbird was known as "the baby Lincoln"  or " Fords luxury sports car".  It has the sporty look  along with

        comfort of a luxury car. You can drive this car anywhere from a cross country trip to a local car show.  Don't be surprised if

       you pick up a trophy or two.  Whether you are a seasoned car collector,   a first time buyer of a vintage car, or maybe you're just a

        Tbird fan, This is a really nice car that you will be proud to own and show off.

               Here's wishing you good luck with your bidding !.

Ford to add more than 2,000 jobs in Kansas City

Thu, 02 May 2013

Continued high demand for the Ford F-150, along with the addition of the all-new Transit series of commercial vehicles, has led Ford to announce that it will add over 2,000 jobs at its Kansas City Assembly Plant. At the time of the announcement, the plant boasts 2,450 hourly employees working on two shifts. All told, Ford will invest $1.1 billion in the Kansas City plant to expand truck production and begin producing the Transit series.
According to the automaker, fullsize truck sales are up 19 percent through April of 2013, leading to an additional 900 workers and a third shift of production for the F-150. Production of the Transit series will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, requiring an additional 1,100 workers. In addition, Ford estimates that a total of 18,000 jobs will be created by suppliers to its Kansas City plant to support the additional vehicle production.

Ford Focus PHEV on the way?

Tue, Jan 21 2014

A refreshed Ford Focus is in the works and that means a few details are leaking out. Spy shots from last month indicated the Focus will have a gaping grille just like its "One Ford" global C-segment comrade, the Fiesta. While Ford is being quiet about it, the Focus could also be getting an "Energi" option, joining the C-Max Energi and Fusion Energi in Ford's plug-in hybrid family. The Focus will likely use technology originated in the C-Max Energi that combines a 2.0-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor capable of a 20-mile range, according to Autoexpress. The pure electric Focus is expected to stay in the lineup despite its slow sales; its price range should be similar to what's on the market now. The third-generation Focus looked good enough to become the top-selling nameplate in the world in 2012. Some exterior changes to look for in the Euro-spec model at the Geneva Motor Show in March include a reshaped hood, front wing endplate and rear bumper. Interior spy shots have hinted at an updated dashboard design and a simplified, less cluttered control panel with updated climate controls. Under the hood, there are quite a few power options rumored to be available - a gasoline EcoBoost with up to 123 horsepower and two turbo-diesel TDCI options, a 1.6-liter or 2.0-liter mills that would produce between 94 hp and 161 hp. Then there are new 1.5-liter diesel and 1.5-liter EcoBoost gasoline variants that meet regulations in China, Brazil and Russia.

2014 Ford Fiesta gets fuel economy bump to 41 mpg

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

The 2014 Ford Fiesta is in showrooms now with refreshed styling and new performance ST model, but it's what isn't yet available that should help the Fiesta stand out from the growing crowd of subcompacts. Aside from the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost model coming later this year, Ford recently told us that a new Fiesta SFE trim level is on the way that should put the updated Fiesta at the top of its class for fuel economy.
The new Fiesta SFE will hit an estimated 41 miles per gallon on the highway when equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission. The current listing on fueleconomy.gov shows the 2014 Fiesta getting up to 29 mpg city and 39 highway, but the SFE will get minor aero tuning and a recalibrated engine controller to help bump the highway figure past rivals like the Chevrolet Sonic and Nissan Versa - both of which top out at 40-mpg highway. There's still no word as to when the small 1.0-liter EcoBoost will show in the US, but Ford has indicated that engine's fuel economy isn't expected to be released until October.
