I am selling my 1962 Thunderbird convertible as I do not have time to drive it or restore it as I had planed. New house, kids work and another project vehicle. I have had this car for 5 years . I have replaced the brake drums and pads, new fuel tank, a couple of the convertible top electrical relays, water pump and fuel pump (Last month). The carburetor was sent of to Pony Carburetors in New Mexico for a complete rebuild about 1500 miles ago.This has been a good driver car but here is a list of issues or things needing replacement or repair. Needs all new tires, needs all new weather striping primarily on the soft top. The top itself has just recently decided to not come up from the down position. I think it is a relay for the main deck lid motors are turning. The Generator is not charging well. Interior is in great (not perfect) condition. No rips or tears or cracks. The car is black on black with a light blue top that is also in great condition. The rear window is a bit discolored. It has electric windows that all work, but.....when it hasn't been driven in a while and cold, the two small passenger windows seem to be real slow or stuck. May just need cleaning. Odometer shows 4205 miles but I doubt its original.

This car is originally from Northern California. I believe it was restored back in late 70's or early 80's. Looks like there was a repair to the right rear quarter panel back then. has a little wave to the panel. It runs very good once warmed up.

I am selling it as is where is with no warranty. I have been as honest as I can and hide nothing. If you have any question message me on here and I will do the best I can to answer.

Buyer is responsible for all shipping or storage fees. I can keep in my barn for a while but not overly long at $20.00 a day after auctions end. I require $500.00 to be deposited at auctions end to my account and full payment within 3 days and before pickup. If help is need for shipping arrangements I will be happy to help.

Thank you

Bruce

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:

Ford could post best-ever profits in Q1 2013

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Analysts are saying that Ford Motor Company may have earned a record $2.7 billion pretax profit in North America during the first quarter of 2013, a number that represents its highest first quarter profit ever. The impressive earnings are further proof that the American automaker is making a solid comeback as the economy begins to recover.
Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan Chase are estimating that Ford's first quarter North American profit may have topped 12 percent. The firm cited the automaker's fresh lineup, but noted that CEO Alan Mulally needs to uphold the pace as the company works to gain ground in the car and utility segments.
Ford's success has been led by increased demand for its F-Series pickup, the best-selling vehicle in the US for 31 years, and by the Fusion sedan that recently recorded its best-ever quarterly sales in the domestic market. Ford is expected to release its first-quarter revenue on Wednesday, of this week.

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
