Up for auction is a beautiful 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau with the optional, and very rare, Q code 428 V8 with a 4bbl and 7.0L of power. Just took this car in on a trade from that 1981 Buick Riviera listed about a month or so ago. Car has come back to PA and recieved a brand new state inspection good thru Sept of 2014. Fresh PA Title - Antique Vehicle Here are a list of items that have recently been done to the car: Oct '11 - Plugs, wires, total rebuild of Automatic C6 Transmission ($2000) Feb '12 - New Heater Core ($100) Oct '13 - Front Strut Rod Bushing Set Front and Rear Brake Hoses Rear Wheel Cyliders Rear Axle Seals Sundry electrical work to make sure all important functions are working properly, ie horn, reverse, lights, fixed the gauges! Professional Floor Board Repairs, Torque Box repair Total: ($2000) I'm driving the car while the auction is running and it is a blast. Lots of looks and Thumbs Up. Questions at the gas station etc. Big 428 engine runs smooth and the C6 shifts perfectly. Car is on the same chassis as the Lincoln Continental was so the ride is very luxurious. Interior is very cool, the theme of an airplane cockpit is very apparent and there are many styling cues that will give you some nostalgia. I've had a couple friends in the car, and every one of them points out five or six different things that they "have never seen in another car before!" Power windows work, including the power A frame vent windows! Steering wheel pushes out of the way so you can easily get in and out of the car! Remember when you could easily fit into a two door vehicle? Taillights have the trick sequential feature that flashes the three bulbs in the direction you are turning. Very Cool. As nice as the car is, the engine compartment is even better. Looks like it was freshly detailed. The real hook is the engine and trans package for this car. the "Q" in the vin designates the 428cu option for this year, it was less than $100 option and not many people took it. Hard to believe. In some other models, this would increase the value 10x, this car is being priced to sell so don't let it get away. Value will keep increasing over the years if you take as good of care as the previous owners have. Things it needs: - Headliner is starting to sag, will eventually need replaced -Power locks don't hookup -Chip in paint on the front left corner (see Pic) This is a perfect car to drive, enjoy for as long as you want, and then resell for a profit! Car is safe, freshly inspected and ready for a new home. Please feel free to ask any questions. Check all my other auctions, I have new vehicles coming in all the time.

Ford Focus RS ready to make our hot hatch dreams real
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Ford's current hot hatch siblings the Fiesta ST and Focus ST are already two pretty great entries into the segment, but there's always a desire for a little more. Thankfully, it looks like the Blue Oval is ready to satiate that need because it's continuing to test the even more powerful Focus RS around Europe. According to our spy shooters, these shots come from near the Nürburgring.
As with previous photos, Ford engineers continue to heavily camouflage the front end of the RS prototypes, but there's a big difference here. Unlike earlier ones, this example appears to have a closer-to-production-ready front bumper rather than just a horizontal strip for the license plate. That may point to development getting somewhat closer to wrapping up. Although, this one lacks the larger rear wing from prior testers, and the exhaust also appears to be a work in progress with the rear diffuser covered in mesh in these latest shots.
The RS is rumored to be using the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Mustang, but power is reportedly turned up from 310 horsepower in the 'Stang to somewhere between 325 hp and 350 hp for the Focus. Routing all that just through the front wheels could be a recipe for serious torque steer, and all-wheel drive is potentially being used for better traction.
Ford F-100 'Snakebit' shown off by Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford, along with KISS bassist Gene Simmons and his wife, Shannon Tweed, used SEMA as a backdrop to pull the covers off Snakebit, a 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck that's been updated with Shelby Mustang-derived styling bits and a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine. All 550 horsepower are funneled through a six-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels.
Underneath the custom bodywork sits a chassis that's been stretched five inches and a bed widened and bedecked with billet machined pieces that are supposed to look like wood. The 20-inch rear and 18-inch front wheels ape those of past Shelby Mustang models. The interior is swathed in two-tone leather with a bench seat designed to look - try to act surprised - like a Shelby Mustang.
Like what you see? Bidding for the truck will take place in 2014 at an unspecified Barrett-Jackson event (we'd assume Scottsdale). Proceeds will be used to help build a children's hospital in Saskatoon, in the province of Saskatchewan, where Ms. Tweed grew up. See the high-res gallery above and the press release down below for more.
Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.
