For Sale: A very nice looking and driving 1962 Ford Thunderbird Landau. This one is a fairly rare color, Diamond Blue (a special order Lincoln color). This shade of light blue looks very good with its contrasting Black Landau roof. The excellent and correct interior is a few shades darker than the exterior, providing additional and attractive contrast. The engine runs well and is the original 390 V-8. The odometer reads 21,349. Judging by the condition of the original interior, this may be actual miles, but I cannot prove that. The previous owner thought the miles were actual. The automatic transmission shifts nicely. The car runs and drives nicely, but has been in storage without being driven since November of last year. Everything on the car works. The paint is nice, but not perfect. The landau top is in very good shape. The chrome is very shiney and solid and the stainless is also very nice. All of the trim is in good condition and the glass is clear all around. The original interior is in excellent condition. The interior chrome is good, steering wheel nice, great dash and headliner. The door panels look great and even the carpet and floor mats are nice. The colors are correct inside and out. Yes, this Thunderbird does have the common exhaust manifold leak that probably new donuts will fix. The trunk does have some surface rust and will need a new trunk kit ( mat and sideboards). The underside is very solid and looks good. The driver's side lower bumper has a blemish that the previous owner painted over with silver chrome-type paint. There is a small scuff/shallow dent on the passenger's side front wheel well lip that is not seen in the photos. My wife barely scuffed the garage side parking night. I guess I can forgive her.
Overall, this is a very nice 1962 Thunderbird that can be driven right away. The wide white wall tires really set off the light blue and black of the car. The ride is veryy smooth and comfortable. These '61-'63 Thunderbirds were very low, long, and heavy cars with a solid feel.
Please feel free to ask any questions. Sold in as-is condition. Personal inspection is encouraged.

Ford reveals all-new Everest SUV at Asia-Pacific forum [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014While the Explorer may have shifted from a truck-based sport-ute to a car-based crossover, Ford still offers buyers on the other side of the Pacific a Ranger-based SUV in the form of the Everest. And at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Beijing today, the Blue Oval revealed the all-new version you see here.
Previewed in concept form over a year ago and made specifically for the Asia-Pacific market, the new Ford Everest is designed to be more refined on the road and more capable off of it. Like the Explorer once was, the new Everest is based on a stretched version of the overseas Ford Ranger pickup. Depending on the specific market, Ford will offer the new Everest with a range of engines including a 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo four and two Duratorq turbodiesels - a 2.2-liter four and a 3.2-liter inline-five - mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Earmarked to take on the likes of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (known in these parts as the Lexus GX) and the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the new Everest promises rock-crawlers even better off-road capabilities. It's got nearly nine inches of ground clearance, over 30 inches of wading depth, a 29-degree approach and 25-degree departure angles and a set of features including on-the-fly adjustable four-wheel drive.
2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings
Mon, 29 Sep 2014While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.
Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet
Wed, Oct 7 2015Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
