1960 Ford Thunderbird Base Hardtop 2-door 5.8l on 2040-cars
Pueblo, Colorado, United States

Eye Catching Thunderbird with the right color combination you been looking for, red and white! This beauty is a real head-turner. Not an original restored show car, but a fun daily driver. Last year of that awesome square bird five seater! Best year for the front grill with better design! Overall decent condition with new radial tires, new interior and carpet with two-tone white and red seats, red visors, white headliner, new red dash, red and white door panels, new front and rear windshields/seals, re-chromed bumpers, new battery, powder coated air cleaner and valve covers, cool spoke wheel covers (also have originals), power steering, power brakes, power windows, Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission working alright. All gauges (except fuel level), lights, horn, power, heater, and radio work good. Police Interceptor 352, 300 HP V-8 with original and fresh rebuilt 4 barrel Carter carburetor. Newer tune up and oil change. Car has leaf springs for rear axle which improve ride and handling. Four wheel drums with power assist. Has pac mufflers for that throaty sound! Spare parts include porta-walls, original hub caps, and new brakes shoes all around in box. Unibody construction with some minor signs of rust underneath, however, newer floor board welded on. More of a daily driver as the body/paint has some imperfections, but definitely a great car for the money. Radio works, but fuel level gauge not working. Engine is original with some good pick up and life left; intake manifold replaced; however, there remain small leaks from exhaust manifold. A lot of looks and interest, so if you want an older T-Bird, this could be the one to have most fun with. |

Exceptionally rare '65 Ford GT40 Roadster prototype up for auction
Sat, 14 Jun 2014Think of mid-engined supercars and your mind is bound to gravitate towards Europe, but the United States has been known to make a handful from time to time - exceptional vehicles from the likes of Vector, SSC, Mosler, Hennessey, and Saleen. But long before any of those came around, Ford famously became obsessed with beating Ferrari at its own game, leading to the development of the iconic GT40.
The story is well known, sending Ford to the checkered flag at Le Mans four times in a row in the late 1960s. Ford and Shelby also built over 100 for public consumption, but just four of them were roadsters. Of those only one remains in original condition, and now that exceedingly rare example going up for auction.
Consigned to RM Auctions for its mid-August sale during Pebble Beach weekend in Monterey, California, this 1965 model is the first GT40 Roadster built. It was used as a development and demonstration vehicle for Ford and Shelby. Carroll Shelby himself drove Henry Ford II in this very car during one of many test and demo events, this time held for Ford's board of directors in Los Angeles.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected
Thu, 29 May 2014Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."
