 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.

Ford wins second consecutive Engine of the Year with 1.0L EcoBoost [UPDATE]

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

For the second year in a row, Ford has taken top honors in International Engine of the Year voting. As was the case last year, it is Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that earns the automaker the accolade, achieving the highest-ever accumulated score in the 15 years that the award has been handed out.
A panel of 87 automotive journalists from 35 countries are responsible for choosing the world's best engines, and this is only the third time an automaker has managed back-to-back victories. Voters were impressed by the "Baby EcoBoost" engine's power output - 123 horsepower between 1,400 and 4,500 rpm, 148 pound-feet of torque from 1,400 to 4,000 rpm - and its compact size; Ford has demonstrated that the package is small enough to fit in the overhead bin of a passenger airplane.
Currently, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered in the European Fiesta, B-MAX, Focus, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, and Ford plans to put the engine in the Transit Connect, Transit Courier, Tourneo Connect, Tourneo Courier, Mondeo and EcoSport in short order. In North America, the Fiesta will be the first vehicle to offer the 1.0L EcoBoost later this year.

Ford rolls out diesel Focus ST at Goodwood [w/poll]

Sun, 29 Jun 2014

If you're in the market for a hot hatch, there are some excellent choices at your disposal - especially if you live in Europe. But if you want a diesel, well, your choices become rather more limited. Volkswagen tends to that niche market with the Golf GTD (essentially an oil-burning version of the GTI available Stateside), but that's about the extent of it. The pleas of those looking for more diesel-burning hot hatch choices haven't fallen on deaf ears at Ford, with the Blue Oval not only rolling out a facelifted gas-powered Focus ST at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend, but also a new diesel version as well.
The diesel Focus ST (which we hope and pray isn't marketed as the STD) packs a 2.0-liter turbodiesel four producing 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque to propel the oil-burning hot hatch to 62 in 8.1 seconds en route to a top speed of 135 miles per hour. With less power and only slightly more torque, that makes the diesel Focus ST considerably slower than the gasoline one, which packs 252 hp and 270 lb-ft, runs to 62 in 6.5 seconds and tops out at 154 mph, but (in a testament to how far particulate filters have come) the diesel model cuts carbon emissions by nearly a third compared to the petrol version and returns about 50-percent better fuel economy, which makes that much more of a difference in markets where diesel is already priced better than gasoline at the pump.
For buyers who wouldn't consider anything other than a diesel, it also represents 23-percent more power than the previous top-level diesel Focus. The VW Golf GTD, for reference, offers up 181 hp (just 1 horse less), 280 lb-ft (15 fewer torques) but is somehow estimated to reach 60 in a considerably fleeter 7.4 seconds.

The production news isn't just a bit deal for American fans. With the new Mustang getting a bespoke right-hand-drive variant, the pony car's worldwide availability has swollen to include 120 different countries, including its home nation.
"Mustang is and will continue to be an automotive icon," Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas, said in a statement. "Expanding its availability globally affords our customers around the world the opportunity to have a true firsthand Mustang experience - one unlike any other."
