This rare Thunderbird is a nice weekend cruiser. Runs and drives excellent.

Engine is a 352 rated at 300 horsepower and was previously overhauled and updated with hardened valve seats so you can run regular pump gas with no additives. Starts right up and runs very smooth, never overheats even on 90 degree days. Brand new Interstate battery. Has a Cruise-O-Matic Automatic transmission and a Ford 9" rear axle. Has power steering.

Body is in good condition with absolutely NO RUST. This car has been restored in the past. Paint is in good condition, has some small chips(pictured) but not many. The bumpers are in OK condition, but could be re-chromed. Most of the trim is in good condition as well, some pieces may need refinishing however. The sunroof was recently removed and adjusted as well as all the linkages and slides lubed and it works very well.

Interior is in great condition, the seats, headliner, and carpet were replaced during the restoration as well as the trunk liner. The radio has been upgraded to an AM/FM unit with a cassette player, it is designed to mimic the original radio. The trunk lid has been outfitted with an electric release via a button under the dash. This car has power windows including the "sail" windows towards the rear. The driver's side rear "sail" window has not worked since I've owned the car and I do not know what it needs to repair it.

Car is a great weekend cruiser and gets TONS of attention at the shows. The Sunroof is a BIG topic of conversation, I always have to verify for people that it is original to the car. The paint is even the original colors, verified by the data sheet found in the sunroof panel(which I still have). As far as I know the car is completely numbers matching.

I always recommend viewing any vehicle in person prior to purchasing, but I also try to provide as much info/pics as possible so YOU know what you're getting. if you have questions or would like to view the car, please send me a message and I will respond promptly.

Top Gear's latest trailer shows off a golden Bugatti Chiron

Thu, Feb 23 2017

Top Gear is returning on March 5, and after a lackluster first series with the new hosts, the new group seems determined not to hit a sophomore slump. Chris Evans is gone, and the latest teaser trailer shows the new trio of Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid strapped into some pretty fantastic cars, including the Bugatti Chiron and the Ford GT. All of the typical Top Gear segments appear to be present, though the quick cuts don't give us many details. The trailer shows a copious amount of powerslides from an assortment of cars, and even Chris Harris racing around Daytona. Aside from the Bugatti and Ford, cars from Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, Aston Martin, and Alfa Romeo are all present. Co-hosts Eddie Jordan and Sabine Schmitz don't appear at all, so it seems their roles may be downplayed to focus on three guys, as was the case pre-reboot. We have some hope for this re-relaunched show and will be keeping an eye out for more details in the lead-up to the series premiere.

Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Customers have spoken and automobile satisfaction is down in 2015. I'm Chris McGraw and this is your Autoblog Minute. The American Customer Satisfaction Index or ACSI released its updated numbers and according to the survey, new car buyer satisfaction is down for the third straight year. According to an ACSI press release, customer satisfaction with new automobiles has fallen 3.7 percent, to 79 on its 100-point scale. The ACSI report is based on over 4,100 customer surveys collected in the second quarter of 2015 Sitting at the top of the industry in customer satisfaction is Toyota's Lexus brand with a score of 84. Which was good enough to dethrone Mercedes-Benz, which fell 3% to a score of 83. Of the Big Three, Ford was the only domestic automaker to maintain overall customer satisfaction with its score of 81. General Motors slipped 3% to 79 and Fiat Chrysler had a 5% drop, registering a score of 75 out the possible 100. What's driving this trend of customer dissatisfaction? ASCI points to the rise in recalls and car prices. Where do you land on customer satisfaction spectrum? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts on the current state of car ownership and brand quality. For Autoblog, I'm Chris McGraw.

Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief

Thu, 29 May 2014

The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
