This is a 1968 Ford Thunderbird with a 429 Thunderjet engine.  This car is an unrestored classic.  Survivor!  The 429 thunderjet engine is boasting an impressive 360 hp out of the factory!  This car is all original save for the radio and landau top.  Radio has been repalced by a new CD player w/ remote and usb port.  Landau top was removed and roof has been painted black in it's place.  The car runs and drives very good.  Takes hills cruising at 65 with plenty power to spare.  The body is in good shape save for a small dent in the front passenger side quarter panel (shown in picture) but it can be pulled.  Original paint is still on car but needs new paint.  Has retractable lights in the front grill they both work.  Taillights stretch across entire backside of car they all work.  Blinkers work.  Brakes are good.  Have original wheels on the car and are in good shape.  Tires are in excellent shape less than 1000 miles on all.  Also have the hubcaps but aren't currently on the car but can easily be put on.  All of the original outside trim is there (thunderbird emblems on lights, chrome, bumpers, grill) and in good condition.  The interior is in good condition, there is one small rip (pictured) on either side of the front seat in the top corner.  There is also a rip on the arm rest.  All guages work.  A/C works! PS/PB.  Brights work.  Thunderbird emblems on inside door panels there and in good shape.  No back registration due, I have the title.  No leaks and frame is good.  Steers great, no play in the steering.  Indicator lights work as well.  The CD player is the only thing new in the car otherwise all original.  All parts functional and serviceable.  It has been very well maintained and is in really good condition for being 45 years old.  A little cosmetic work (mostly paint) and this car would not only run good, it would look great.  The originality of the car is great down to the pedal rubbers. In this condition with these options the car is booking at around 9,000.  Leaving some meat on the bone I feel this price is fair.  To get this car and try to find the trim parts and other accessories would be a pain.  They're already all there.  If you put a little care into it, it would be just as it rolled out of the factory.  Also being that it's unrestored you don't have to undue someone elses work.  Make it your own.  This is a great car.  Bid with confidence.  Also selling it locally, reserve the right to end auction early if sold locally.

Ford jumps back in the water with marinized 6.2L V8

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Nameplates like the Mercury Mariner and Lincoln Navigator aside, Ford hasn't offered a marine engine in over two decades. But through a new partnership with one of the biggest names in the business, the Dearborn-based automaker is dipping its proverbial toes back in the water.
Announced yesterday at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the new partnership between Ford Component Sales and Indmar Marine Engines will see the 6.2-liter V8 from the F-150 SVT Raptor and F-Series Super Duty marinized for use in boats.
The largest privately owned inboard gasoline marine engine manufacturer in the world, Indmar has been in the business for 43 years, and figures the Ford V8 will be just what watersport enthusiasts are looking for to tow waterskiers and wakeboarders to their hearts' content.

Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Woman reunited with stolen Mustang after 28 years

Sun, Dec 28 2014

An enthusiast Christmas story: Salinas, California resident Lynda Alsip bought a 1967 Ford Mustang in 1984 when she was 17 years old, having saved $800 after a summer of toil at a grocery store. She got a vanity plate that read "LYNDA67," for the year she was born, but she only got to enjoy the car for two years: in 1986, after a night out, someone stole it from her apartment complex. She hadn't seen it since. Then a man – another Salinas resident – tried to register the car at the DMV this year. He said he bought it as a project car in 1991, yet the DMV couldn't find any record of it. The DMV office sent the case of the untraceable car to the California Highway Patrol, where Officer Christopher Menchen dug into the records, and his search paid off. The officer located Alsip's stolen record report from 1986 and connected the Mustang to it's registered owner in 1986, who was Alsip's mother. The CHP found the forest green Mustang in the man's garage, and they figure it's been there since 1991. After waiting through the still-ongoing three-month investigation, the CHP reunited Alsip – now a wife and a mother of two – with her car on December 22. It's undriveable, but her original vanity plate is back on and she plans to restore it. The video above has the story.
