Up for sale is by 1962 thunderbird sports roadster. I have owned the car since 2006. It came for CO but was orginialy sold in CA.I have docomentation from 1988 when the car was baught by Carl Dane of Nascar Fame. You can look him up on line. At that time he had the car restored including new paint, chrome,engine and transmission gone over. Sometime before that a set of orginial Ford 3x2 setup was put one the car. Carbs are dated 1962 and are correct in every detail including the right crank case breather tubes and air cleaner. The gas line is rubber from the fuel pump to carbs however. An orginial autolite carb and 4lb intake and air cleaner is included in the sale if one chooses to put in on. The 3x2 runs great. In 1988 Mr. Dane sold the car to his nefew. He had a brand new top put on and a new top motor and raditor core instaled. I have detailed records that were included with the sale of the car to me at this point. Since I have had the car I have done many inprovements to it. New: exhaust system(front to rear), brake pads and cylinders, water pump, fuel pump, steering box. all alum.trim and switches replaced, new wire wheels(the 5 orginials are included and are not really bad, slightly dull). Also has four(4) Ford NOS original chrome spinners. The front seat covers looked to have been replaced (nice). The rear ones look to be the orginials and are nice also. The interior trim has been polished and looks new. Dash pad looks new and was probably replaced with a NOS ford part in 1988. Car has brand new carpet. Door panel are orginial along with the sun visors and are GREAT. Chrome on dash including all knobs is extra nice. Horn button has been replated, ring is orginal and nice. Steering wheel is like new with no crackes or scratches.Rotanda Tach was added by me and works find. Cup is like new. There are two radios that come with the car. The orginial AM and the aftermarket AM/FM that I put in. Both work find. No extra holes cut anywhere. Same with clock, orginial and the new quartz. All guages and controls work as they should.The AC has not worked since I had the car but all factory parts are present.I do not have the skill to work on this but I do know the clutch on the compressor does work. Mileage: The speedometer shows 3500 now. There was 1100 on the car when I got it . Do not know actual mileage but suspect it was set to zero when car was restored. Also I have the choke set up that uses the choke tube with the white cloth that goes across the carbs and goes into the exhaust manifold.I just prefer the electric setup the best BODY: This is the most amazing thing about this car. I can not find any rust at all on this car,top or bottom. I went over it with a magnet when I bought the car and couldn't find any body filler anywhere Panels are stright and alinment is right on. I would say paint is 9 out of ten. There are no dings or dents Grill has been polished.The out side stainless trin has not been polishe(did not know now to take off) and there is a small dimple in two of the six pieces. Other car trim (emblems, beezels,door handles, mirror, ect are like new. Rubber trim is excellent. Rear weights are installed in trunk but the front ones are in boxes and not installed. Probably left off when front bumper was replated. TOP: Top is excellent with no rips or tears.Window is clear with no scratches.Top worked find when I got the car but works a little a little slow now.. All switches and relays work as they should.SUPENSION:New rebuilt of front and new springs on back with all new bushings. Shocks looked good(with no leaks) and were not replaced. New radial tires is 2007 including spare. SUMMARY:This is a beauitful sports roadster(a early one and a real one) I have the docmentation. With a no rust body and has not been messed with and butched up in any way. If you like the style of the 1962 and want a good car This is IT! It has not been on ebay before and is not in the tbird registry. I have done my best to describe this car but I may have missed some issues you may be concerned about so please feel free to email with any questions. And thank you for taking time to look at my car.
This is an early car and the fiberglass cover does NOT have bolt holes. The very early ones had a piece of metal attached to the tonneau cover that slipped in between the top of the rear seat and metal cover over the seats. Later cars had the bolts. It is 100% factory correct. . |

Jeep Grand Cherokee, BMW i8, Ford F-150 win 2015 Green Car Awards in DC [w/video]
Tue, Jan 27 2015There were three shiny trophies handed out at the Washington Auto Show last week by Green Car Journal, and they went to three different examples of what "green" means in the automotive industry today. The Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel won the award for the 2015 Green SUV of the Year, the BMW i8 was named the 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year and the Ford F-150 took the 2015 Green Car Technology Award honor. There is a case to be made that the aluminum body of the new Ford truck will make a bigger impact in the overall fuel usage in the US than almost any other vehicle, given the numbers of F-150s that Ford sells each year. The B20 biodiesel-capable Jeep gets up to 30 miles per gallon on the highway. And the i8 puts all sorts of new, fuel-saving technologies into an attractive package. Looking over the winners, and the list of finalists you can see in our photo gallery, and you can see that the definition of green is expanding every year. You can watch Green Car Journal editor Ron Cogan hand out the 2015 awards in the video below and we'll for sure be paying attention to what wins next year. 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year and Green Car Technology Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has named the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel its 2015 Green SUV of the Year™ and the BMW i8 its 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year™, with the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 earning the magazine's 2015 Green Car Technology Award™. Winners were determined by a jury of Green Car Journal editors and automotive experts. The prestigious awards were announced in Washington, D.C. today at a Green Car Awards™ press conference held during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day at the Washington Convention Center. "These are truly commendable vehicles representing the 'best-of-the-best' in so many ways," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "The auto industry's very early focus on small cars and efficiency-for-environment tradeoffs has evolved to now include a more dynamic field of 'greener' models in all vehicle classes. Those wanting greater efficiency or better environmental performance are no longer constrained by limited choices or vehicle types that fall outside their top purchase preferences.
Ford will keep Escape and MKC plant open an extra week to meet demand
Thu, Jun 8 2017Crossovers keep selling like popular pastries, and for Ford, that means it needs to keep production going. The company announced that, rather than the usual two-week shutdown, its Louisville, Ky., assembly plant will be open for one of those weeks. The plant builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC, which Ford reports have had record sales. According to Ford, Escape sales through May are up 3 percent, and MKC sales are up 10 percent compared with last year. In total, the Escape has sold about 130,000 units through May, and the MKC has sold around 11,000. Keeping the Louisville plant open will allow the company to build an additional 8,500 vehicles. Ford stated that all other assembly plants will continue with the two-week shutdown as scheduled.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]
Wed, 20 Aug 2014No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
