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 !.

2014 Roush Stage 3 Mustang
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Up until now, it's been some years since I managed to get behind the wheel of the hot Mustangs tuned by the folks at Roush Performance. My memories of those vehicles are fond, as the Roush up-fits usually make for better-driving examples of the iconic Ford pony, with better-tuned suspensions, excellent short-shift kits and, of course, huge additions of power. The wake-your-neighbors aural characteristics of these cars have been nothing short of outstanding, too.
But in the years since my last experience with the Roush formula, Ford's own development team has churned out some pretty potent 'Stangs. We currently live in a world where the Blue Oval will sell you a Mustang with 662 horsepower from the factory, and the recently departed Boss 302 remains one of the best Mustangs - and best sports coupes - the Autoblog crew has ever driven.
So with great-driving and hugely powerful Mustangs coming straight off the line at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant, does the Roush package still offer that extra special something to make it stand out? I spent a week with a Stage 3 coupe to find out.
2014 Ford Fusion to get 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder?
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Just one year after launching the all-new 2013 Fusion, Ford is reportedly set to alter the sedan's powertrain lineup with the addition of a new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. A member of Blue Oval Forums apparently got their hands on the ordering guide for the 2014 model year Fusion, and this 1.5-liter mill is set to be introduced with late availability.
This lines up with other news about the Chinese-market Mondeo being offered with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost - a derivative of the 1.0-liter triple that will come to North America under the hood of the Fiesta (note: the 1.0 is also offered in the current Euro-spec Mondeo). In the Chinese application, the larger three-pot engine produces 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, which is very close to the current 1.6-liter inline-four's output numbers of 178 hp and 184 lb-ft.
What's interesting, however, is that the 1.6-liter engine will reportedly still be offered in the Fusion, but only with the six-speed manual transmission. The smaller 1.5-liter EcoBoost will only be mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic, and will feature start/stop. This means that while the 1.5 is slightly down on power compared to the 1.6, it could easily improve fuel economy numbers, allowing the Fusion to regain the title of having the best mileage in the segment, likely besting the 38 miles per gallon of the Nissan Altima. Currently, the Fusion 1.6 is rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway.
