Car has been stored since that time under cover with the intention of restoring it as my personal car unfortunately, priorities have shifted and I have decided to sell the vehicle. The car has the original candy-apple red paint over white interior and top - with the possible exception of the driver's side door which is original but may have been painted. Body is amazing condition for a 47 year old car - there are 2 small creases - 1 on the passenger fender and another on the deck lid and a couple of dings (see photos). Outside of some minimal surface rust on the hood, deck lid and panel behind the rear seat, there is absolutely no body rust as the car has lived its life in a dry, salt free climate. MECHANICAL: The car is in running condition but it is highly recommended that the car be trailered. The original engine and transmission are included BUT ARE NOT INSTALLED in the car."

1966 Ford Thunderbird Convertible.
HIGHLIGHTS:
  • ORIGINAL PAINT
  • RUST FREE CALIFORNIA CAR
  • STORED UNDERCOVER SINCE 1988
  • HISTORY:  Purchased in 1988 in Paso Robles California from the original owner. 
  • Car has been stored since that time under cover with the intention of restoring it as my personal car unfortunately, priorities have shifted and I have decided to sell the vehicle. 
  • PAINT/INTERIOR:  The car has the original candy-apple red paint over white interior and top - with the possible exception of the driver's side door which is original but may have been painted. 
  • BODY CONDITION:  Body is in amazing condition for a 47 year old car - there are 2 small creases - 1 on the passenger fender and another on the deck lid and a couple of dings (see photos) - That's it!  This is as easy of a body restore as you will find - no need to worry about rust or bondo - what you see is the body of the car as it rolled off the San Jose assembly line in the spring of 1966.   NOTE:  Photos show a key operated dead-switch installed in the front driver's side fender - I am including an extra fender that may be installed if desired.
  • RUST:  Outside of some minimal surface rust on the hood, deck lid and panel behind the rear seat, there is absolutely no body rust as the car has lived its life in a dry, salt free climate.  The primer you see on the hood/deck lid was to protect them from further surface rust which was minimal. 
  • MECHANICAL: The car is in running condition but it is highly recommended that the car be trailered.  Prior to starting the car the gas tank was drained and flushed, oil was changed and cooling system flushed.  New spark plug wires were installed and the car started right-up!!! Currently a 1972 Ford 390 engine is installed but the original engine and transmission are included as well.  I would recommend that the car be gone through mechanically before taking it on any long trips.  Other notes: 
  1. The A/C unit is included but the A/C is not working.
  2. Headlights, Blinkers, Emergency Flasher, and Sequential taillights are functional.
  3. Heater/Blower are not functioning.
  4. Power Top needs new, OEM switch installed (included)
  5. FM radio is functional - Extra 8-track player is included (functional status is unknown).
  6. Power Seat is functional excepting for center control switch is broken but I am including a replacement switch (that will need to be installed) as well as a spare power seat motor.
  •  INTERIOR:  Interior is complete but the car will need an interior seat kit including carpet.  Interior trim is in good shape excepting the pillar trim pieces which have a fair amount of pitting.  The original dash appears to be in perfect shape!
  • TOP:  Top is in fair condition; there is a 3 inch tear in the center of the top just behind the front-most top-bow and the rear window needs replacement. 
  • PARTS INCLUDED - I am including the following parts:
  1. NOS set of taillights
  2. NOS set of chrome levers for soft top frame.
  3. 8-track player.
  4. NOS control switch for soft top.
  5. Driver's side fender.
  6. Power seat control and extra motor
  7. Original Motor & Transmission.
  • BUY IT NOW:  If "Buy It Now" is used or if the sale price exceeds $8000, I will include the following extra parts:
  1. Front & Rear Bumpers
  2. Left & Right Headlight Buckets
  3. Cruise Control Main control unit.
  4. Sequential Taillight control Unit
  5. 4 BBL Carb
  6. Headrest for passenger seat
  7. NUMEROUS interior & exterior aluminum/stainless trim pieces.
  8. Seat Backs
  9. Extra set of taillights and taillight housing.
  10. Extra A/C compressor.
  11. Front Grill
  • MILEAGE:  Odometer shows 40K - I'm assuming that mileage is 140K.

NOTE:  Buyer must cover cost of shipping for vehicle & all spare parts.

FINAL THOUGHTS:  If you are looking for a solid, rust free, T-Bird convertible to restore - this is it!  I was excited to find an "unmolested" example back in 1988 - finding one 25 years later is very rare opportunity indeed...

Forza Motorsport 6's new drivable Hot Wheels cars are the best

Tue, May 3 2016

Each month, Turn 10 Studios releases a new car pack for the latest installment of its Forza Motorsport video game. Sometimes that means less-than-exciting stuff coming to our Xbox Ones – BMW X6M, bleh – but this time our inner seven-year-old is beyond ecstatic. Two of the seven cars are based on actual Hot Wheels models. And. They're. Awesome. First we have the 2011 Hot Wheels Bone Shaker. Yes, there are flames on the side. And yes, there's a giant skull where the grille should be. This one came from the imagination of "Mr. Hot Wheels" Larry Wood, whose design was so popular it inspired an actual real-world creation. Like all good things in this world, it's powered by a small-block Chevy V8. Oh, and it has no roof. This will be a popular one among gamers. The other digitized Hot Wheels creation is a 2005 Ford Mustang. A modest vehicle, sure, but the toy designers have festooned this pony car with a wild paint scheme and the body mods to emphasize it. Originally developed to celebrate the 'Stang's 50th birthday, this Hot Wheels car trades Americana for wild Japanese style. There's just one functioning life-size version of this car in existence as well, but if you look hard, you might be able to find one of the 1:64 scale models that inspired it. Other highlights from this month's car pack include the latest Ford Focus RS – finally time to replace that NASCAR-V8-powered, all-wheel-drive 2009 Focus RS – the 2015 McLaren P1 GTR, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS, the aforementioned X6M, and Alain Prost's 1990 Ferrari 641 F1 car. The Hot Wheels Car Pack is available for download today.

Ford Fusion getting substantial refresh for 2017

Wed, 13 Aug 2014

It's only been a couple of years since Ford rolled out the current Fusion, but if these spy shots are anything to go by, it's already planning what appears to be a substantial update for the mid-size sedan.
According to our paparazzi on the ground, the new Fusion is being prepared for launch late in 2016 or early 2017. Although heavily camouflaged to keep it from prying eyes such as ours, it appears that the updated Fusion will tone down the Aston Martin-style grille, ditch the small corner window with revised front side glass and tweak the vehicle's overall shape. But there's more to the new Fusion than a styling adjustment, and our spy photographers have caught a glimpse inside and taken us along.
Apparently the new Fusion is to get a completely overhauled interior with soft-touch surfaces and matte wood trim to make it seem more upscale. There's an all-new rotary gear selector (like you'd find on a Jaguar, for example) hinting at the implementation of a new nine-speed automatic transmission. The prototype appears to be packing the Microsoft SYNC system, suggesting that the new Blackberry QNX system isn't ready quite yet - though that doesn't necessarily mean it won't be ready by the time the new Fusion is.
