1965 Ford Thunderbird on 2040-cars
Jamestown, New York, United States

Listing my 65 Bird for auction as I have decided to sell my Birds and get a different toy. I have owned this car for the past dozen years or so and it has been in my family for probably the last 20. Between me and my family we have had over 40 Birds but this is the one that stuck around always. It has been very well taken care of and when I lived in Florida I drove it all the time but since Ive been in NY it is only driven sparingly on short trips and for its yearly state inspection. When the car was restored all the exterior chrome was redone or replaced so in the sun it shines like brand new. During the restoration of the car some of the a/c components were removed and who knows where they ended up, over the years I have purchased the lower bracket , the 2 mounting struts, and I have found most of the hardware for re-install. Quite a few years ago I was able to purchase the Eminger invoice for the car and I have numerous manuals also. This car has the correct factory option vac trunk release, power windows, power antenna, correct 65 am/fm radio (originally was am only car), power door locks, cruise control( bellows need replaced for certain) and dual power seats. I have also located a correct original reclining seat back with headrest that can go with the car if wanted(needs recovered). This car originally had the standard hubcaps(which I still have) but now has the deluxe upgrade hubcaps on it. There has been a ton spent on this car over the years but if you are looking for a excellent example of a 65 Bird then this would be it. I am listing it with a reserve and depending on where this ends I might look at high bid at the end if not met. The car is in my garage in NY and if you are figuring transport costs I am approx. 50 miles from Erie PA and 85 miles from Buffalo NY. If pick-up arrangements need to be made car can sit covered in my garage for no charge till picked up but car will not leave till payment is complete. Check my other auctions as well if your looking to start a collection as I have a 83 listed and will be listing a 80 Silver Anniversary car shortly. If you have any questions just ask and I will get back with you as quick as I can. I am looking at getting a Corvette so I really don't need any trades unless it is one.

Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?
Sun, 28 Jul 2013Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.
Ford 1.0L EcoBoost 3-Cylinder: Autoblog Technology of the Year award finalist
Wed, 19 Nov 2014As the old saying goes, "There's no replacement for displacement." But these days, many automakers are launching powerful, downsized engines that offer similar or better power output than their predecessors, all while offering improvements in fuel economy and emissions. These days, we're seeing automakers replacing eight-cylinder engines with turbocharged sixes, and the naturally aspirated six-cylinder motors are being phased out in favor of potent turbo fours. But Ford has gone even smaller, offering a three-cylinder, turbocharged engine with one single liter of displacement.
Sure, three-cylinder engines aren't anything new - they've been offered around the globe for ages. But Ford's EcoBoost 1.0L powerplant is perhaps the best application the Autoblog team has tested. Gone are the triple-cylinder complaints of yore - this engine doesn't sound anemic or buzzy, and there's healthy power output on tap. In fact, compared to the 1.6-liter inline-four that Ford also offers in the Fiesta, the 1.0-liter is more powerful, while boasting an impressive 45 miles per gallon on the highway.
This engine has already received numerous accolades, including winning the International Engine of the Year award in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The 1.0L EcoBoost will be available in the refreshed 2015 Ford Focus here in the US.
