Hemet, California, United States

1962 ford thunderbird convertible. Very original, factory Rangoon Red and black interior car. Lived in California's dry climate it's entire life. It has been well up kept overall over the years, and very clean and original for its age. Still retains it's original black and yellow CA license plates issued in 1963! I bought this car from a nice older lady who's deceased husband had loved the car. T-bird was out of service prior to my ownership about 7 years.

I recently had its original 390 engine with 90k miles on it overhauled. It had some blow by, so I had it completely professionally rebuilt. Runs excellent, and engine is all correct down to the paint colors. Quality battery only 3 months old. I have not gone through transmission or brakes but, they are in working order. It has a cool set of chrome baby moon 15" rims that are presently on it. Tires have plenty of tread but, are old and should be replaced prior to any long distance or regular use (I have 4x stock Ford 14" steel wheels included, which I was intending on putting stock new whitewalls on). You have the choice. Original shop manual and original red fender skirts included also.

Interior is nice and appears original. Not perfect but, I wouldn't change much. Still has thunderbird floor mats. I have new replacement dash in box included as original dash has 2 cracks. Power windows all work well. Gauges all work (not clock), heater works fine (I had heater core replaced $$$), fan sticks on intermittently, I will try and have it fixed but can't guarantee in time. Power top motor is bad (they are available now new), all other related electrics appear in good clean workable condition. Needs new soft top, bows etc all in good or better condition. It's all there. Very clean car!

Paint looks to be the original (or a very old proper repaint). Nice presentable condition, some blemishes, chips, scratches but, too few to warrant any immediate repaint, you decide. I like a little patina myself! Chrome is very nice. No rust on this car! Honest solid vehicle.

Clear California title in hand. Like with any antique or classic I recommend flat bedding/trailering any great length, until you are comfortable with the cars performance, it is a safer smarter bet. (it does need new set of tires anyway). I do not transport but I can assist on this end. Located in Hemet Ca., 92544.

Priced to sell, don't play the waiting game, if you want it and can pay for it simply bid!. Buy it now offers will be considered. Dollar for dollar car for car this is the best deal around. I don't have time or space for it, my loss.

50 year old unrestored car, no warranty.

Lincoln recycling tree fibers into new MKX armrest

Thu, Feb 27 2014

Want to hug a tree, or at least a really small part of one. Then set your arm down on one of those armrests in the 2014 Lincoln MKX crossover. The US automaker is working with Weyerhaeuser and Johnson Controls on a tree-based, cellulose-reinforced polypropylene material used in the component that connects the armrest to the floor console, Wards Auto says. With properties similar to plastic, the tree-based material replaces fiberglass and is about six percent lighter. No big deal for now, but if the material starts getting used for things like battery trays and interior storage covers, that loss in weight may eventually start adding up enough to boost fuel economy a bit, providing a green double bonus. Lincoln parent Ford, which isn't saying how much more (or less?) it costs to use the new material, established its Biomaterials and Plastics Research team in 2001. In 2007, the company began using soy-based foam in car seats used for models such as the Lincoln Navigator and Ford Mustang and has since broadened biomaterials use to components like floormats and cupholder inserts. Ford also used recycled plastic bottles from the 2012 North America International Auto Show for seats in the Focus Electric.

Ford's Mulally makes shortlist for Microsoft CEO

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

Ford CEO Alan Mulally has made the short list to take over tech giant Microsoft, lending further credence to rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would ditch Dearborn and move to Redmond.
The report comes from Reuters, which claims that alongside Mulally, former Nokia CEO Stephen Elop and three candidates from within Microsoft are on the short list to succeed Steve Ballmer at the company's helm, although previous reports claim the Ford exec is the number one candidate. Mulally is currently working without a contract, although Bill Ford seems to believe that he isn't likely to depart. Despite this belief, Ford was quoted just last month talking about the depth of talent on the Blue Oval's executive team.
"There is no change from what we announced last November. Alan remains fully focused on continuing to make progress on our One Ford plan. We do not engage in speculation," said Ford spokesman Jay Cooney.

Ford Transit customs ready to work for SEMA

Fri, 31 Oct 2014

Ford's booth at the SEMA Show this year looks to have two, big themes. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen takes on the 2015 Mustang to the event, and it's now also announcing five customized versions on the 2015 Transit to join the modded pony cars. Each of the vans shows off a different use for the spacious commercial vehicle, from plush luxury to offroad ruggedness.
You probably don't think of the Transit as hitting the trails, but that's just what the take on the design from the Vegas Off-Road Experience (pictured above) is for. The company gives people the opportunity to drive a desert race truck, and this custom is meant to drive them to events. It should be able to take on the terrain a little better with off-road wheels and tires and fender flares, but inside passengers get serious luxury thanks to a 60-inch LED TV and video game systems.
Alternatively the blazing red Designed Travel Transit (right) is all about long road trips. The interior features four captain's chairs with heating, cooling and massage functions, and there's a 4K 50-inch TV to watch. For a touch of added class, the floor is made from hickory.
