 I need to sell this car before winter hits even though I will be sad to see it go.  This is a 1960 Ford Thunderbird with an automatic transmission.  I bought this car a few years ago with the intention of restoring her.  She is ready to be restored to mint condition.  The body is STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW.  There is NO RUST on the under body and only a small rust spot on the rear passenger side lower panel, just rear of the fender well; it is the size of a quarter.  The body is a 9 of 10.  Paint is the original color and shows age (worn away in some spots and mostly dull).  As I intended to restore her, I initially stared working on her mechanically.  The entire front end has recently been taken apart, cleaned, inspected and lubed.  She got 2 new ball joints and a bit of honing on both front wheel cylinders.  When we checked the rear wheel cylinders they were in good shape.  The entire breaking system has  been combed through.  The drums (front and rear) are in great shape with no warp and the shoes have good lift left on them.   The brake line to the two rear wheels is a new single line not spliced.  I was told by the previous owner that the master cylinder had recently been rebuilt so assume it has been rebuilt in the past 4 years.  The car has had a complete tune-up in the last 1000 miles and all fluid levels were checked and all were in line where they should be including the differential. The carburetor is a Holly that is a 4 barrel which is dialed all the way down.  My mechanic says it is a bit too big for the car.  The motor is not original but was a Ford 352 that has been bored to a 380 and rebuilt.  I do not know when the motor was rebuilt.  Transmission is a not stock C6 that is in perfect working condition. Nothing is wrong with the car mechanically besides a small crack in the passenger side exhaust manifold. The odometer states somewhere around 90,000 and I would assume by the condition of the car that the car itself only has 90,000 miles on it but I am not sure.  The Exhaust system is newer.  The lock for the doors is the same key as the ignition and I have two keys for that.  There is a separate key for the trunk and I believe one other key that may be for the glove box.  The interior is in above average condition for its age and all the parts that go with the interior come with the car even though they may not be installed (basically just trim pieces).  The only thing that is missing is the original switch for the heat/defrost.  I had the tracks moved back for the passenger seat and new tracks made for the driver seat so the seats can go back farther.  Power driver seat does work as well as all of the lights, high beams, interior lights and horn.  The car has air conditioning which is not original and when it was added they put in a different heat/air switch.  I have not tried the heat or the air conditioning because I drive the car with the windows down and I have never driven it when it is cold out.  Tires have good tread but are old and I would recommend replacing them.  I have the original window sticker and bill of sale for the car which shows the options the car came with.  The car was sold in the northeast but I was told by the previous owner is spent most of its life in the Mesa, AZ.  I've got more than $10,000 in the car but I have no garage for her for winter.  $6000 will buy her.  $500 non refundable is due within 48 hours of auction end through paypal.

The 2019 North American International Auto Show might have been a little more quiet than past years, but there were still some pretty major reveals, including the Toyota Supra, new Ford Explorer, Shelby GT500, Subaru WRX STI S209 and Kia Telluride. We also saw some lovely concepts like the Nissan IMs and Lexus LC Convertible. Senior Editor Alex Kierstein, Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski and Senior Green Editor John Beltz Snyder join me, Associate Editor Reese Counts — with Social Media Manager Michael Dylan Ferrara behind the camera — on a long walk through the show. We discuss cars, poke around the stands, dress a bloody wound and answer your questions in the Facebook comments.

Ford readying three-row Edge for China

Fri, Nov 21 2014

The next-generation Ford Edge will be available with quite a growth spurt for its debut in China next year, with newly announced plans also to build and sell a three-row version exclusively in the People's Republic. However, markets outside of there likely won't see the larger model. Ford marketing boss (and future head of Ford of Europe) Jim Farley announced the three-row version of the crossover at the Los Angeles Auto Show, according to Automotive News. To create the extra room, Ford made the Chinese-built variant about 16 inches longer than its two-row counterpart. Farley didn't specify at which of the Blue Oval's plants in the country this model would be assembled. The Explorer and forthcoming Everest already offer three rows from the Ford lineup in China, but the company thinks the market can easily support all of them. According to Farley to Automotive News, the utility segment is up 485 percent in the country since 2008. Customers in the US can still look forward to the two-row Edge hitting dealers early next year. It'll be the first model in the Blue Oval's lineup here to come standard with EcoBoost power.

2020 Ford Explorer nabs IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating after updates

Mon, Sep 21 2020

The 2020 Ford Explorer has been named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the agency's best rating. The redesigned Explorer initially fell short of that mark, however, only making the grade after Ford introduced a running change to the vehicle's design starting in May 2020 — a change made to the 2020 Lincoln Aviator as well. To achieve a Top Safety Pick+ award, a vehicle must have a Good performance rating in all six of the agency's crash tests. It also must have Acceptable or better ratings for all of its available headlamps and must earn Advanced or Superior ratings for its automated collision avoidance systems in tests of their performance against pedestrians and other vehicles. The 2020 Explorer initially achieved only an Acceptable performance in the IIHS's driver's-side small-overlap crash test, as the agency found a risk of injury to the driver's left foot due to intrusion into the footwell. Ford subsequently modified the design of the front subframe in a running change to Explorers and to Lincoln Aviators built after May 2020. The modified Explorer was re-tested, and this time the model achieved a Good performance in the driver's small-overlap test. That, combined with a Superior performance in both tests of the standard collision-avoidance system plus Acceptable ratings for both headlight systems, pushed the 2020 Explorer over the goal line to Top Safety Pick+. The Aviator, which shares the Explorer's platform, has received the same modification and achieves the same crashworthiness ratings. However, its standard headlights are judged Marginal, and therefore the 2020 Aviator achieves only the Top Safety Pick rating (even though its optional curve-adaptive LED headlights are judged Good).
