1962 Ford Thunderbird Convertible, W/roadster Tonneau, Rebuilt 390, Ca Orig Car on 2040-cars
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.

Shelby GT500 and Roush Stage 3 go head to head at the drag strip
Wed, 07 Aug 2013The Ford Mustang is a brilliantly affordable source of horsepower, with a base 300-plus-horsepower version available for well under $30,000. Jumping up to about $35,000 will get you a solid 420 horsepower from a high-revving V8, while those with some extra disposable income can get a pair of 600-plus-horsepower monsters. Both the Roush Stage 3 with its Phase 3 package and Ford's factory Shelby GT500 even crest the 650-horsepower mark, with 675 and 662 ponies, respectively.
Naturally, someone needed to find out which of these hi-po Mustangs was the quickest. And while this video is quite obviously a dealership commercial, at least there's some solid drag racing between two of the most powerful performance machines available for under $100,000.
With two NHRA drag racers at the wheel, the Stage 3 and GT500 go head to head for three races. Scroll down below to see the results in the full video.
J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
