"BARN FIND", This 1962 Ford Thunderbird convertible is a special find. It was purchased in 1969 and driven until 1971 when the motor went bad. It has been stored in the barn every since. The car has original 46,000 miles on it. We have since replaced the original 390 with a low mileage 1966 410 cu. in. big block out of a '66 Mercury.Completely regasketed the motor and installed original intake and Thunderbird valve covers to keep the original look. Motor runs great, car runs and drives.
Body: Has very little rust anywhere. Car is in fantastic body condition. Floors are solid. Right front fender has some damage (see pic) shouldn't be a bad fix. Interior: Interior is complete with the exception of drivers seat back. Seats will need recovered. Door panels good condition. Dash has a couple of splits but probably repairable. Will need a new convertible top and top frame will need attention on front corners (they have some rust but are repairable). We have not messed with the convertible powertop, it is currently not functioning but sure it won't take much to have it working; everything seems to be intact and in good shape.
Instrument panel is in fantastic shape! Shines like new. Equipped with in-dash tach. All lights work including instrument panel, headlights, turn signals, taillights.
Brakes will need redone.
This is a fantastic find. Incredible restoration project or without a lot of work, could be back on the road as a driver. Contact Kevin with any questions, (816) 803-4085. Thanks!

Ford dinged by OSHA for asbestos at Buffalo plant
Sat, 20 Jul 2013Ford has come under fire from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for violations regarding asbestos exposure in a company metal stamping plant in Buffalo, NY. OSHA has cited Ford for eight violations in total, according to an Automotive News report, and faces fines of up to $41,800. 537 workers are employed at the stamping facility.
The violations include a pipefitter at the facility being exposed to asbestos-containing material while working on a steam line, other workers exposed to the material without respiratory protection and work areas that were not designed to limited the number of workers in contact with asbestos. Further, areas in which asbestos was present were not properly restricted, and levels of asbestos in the air were not monitored.
According to an unnamed Ford spokesperson in the AN report, the company feels that the OSHA citation is erroneous saying, "We have fully cooperated with the local OSHA officials and we don't believe the citations are warranted." Ford also maintains that it will work with the authorities to resolve the issue.

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA
Tue, 04 Nov 2014As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.
