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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Grimsel electric car breaks acceleration world record, electric Ford Raptor ATV debuts

Sun, Nov 16 2014

An all-electric version of the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is now available... as an ATV. Made by Caddyshack Golf Cars, it features officially licensed Ford badging borrowed from the super-macho pickup. It has a lifted chassis with leaf springs in the front and rear, hydraulic shocks and off-road tires. Powered by a 48-volt motor, it can do 0-25 mph in 2.9 seconds. Range is an estimated 30 miles - plenty to get you through 18 of the most rugged holes of golf you've ever played. Caddyshack also offers other miniature electric Fords, including a Shelby GT500, Shelby Cobra and 50th Anniversary Mustang. Read more at Green Car Reports. Lexus takes a crack at the BMW i3 in a new video from Funny or Die. In the decidedly anti-EV film, a group of guys drives to Las Vegas for a "dad-chelor party" in a Lexus CT 200h and a BMW i3. The Lexus hybrid makes it to Sin City without any problems, while the BMW's occupants need to make several lengthy stops to charge along the way, missing much of the fun. The video lampoons the inherent range limitations of the EV (the BMW group ends up driving slowly through the desert with no AC or radio to save energy), all in a well produced, if somewhat misguided, short comedy film. Perhaps they should have considered the i3 with a range extender? See the video below, or read more at Green Car Reports. Students from ETH Zurich and Lucerne University have set a new EV acceleration world record. Their "Grimsel" racing car was able to zoom from 0-100 kph (0-62.137 mph) in just 1.785 seconds in less than 30 meters (98.425 feet), crushing the previous record of 2.134 seconds. Even more impressive is that the Grimsel was built by the students themselves, as part of the Formula Student team at the Academic Motorsports Club Zurich. The car weighs just 370 pounds and provides 200 horsepower and 1,202 pound feet of torque from the four hub motors. The Grimsel uses traction control to manage torque for maximum acceleration. See the record acceleration run in the videos below or read more at Gizmag, at Electric Autosport or in the press release from ETH Zurich below. 'grimsel' breaks world record The 'grimsel' electric racing car today broke the previous world record for acceleration in electric cars. The vehicle accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.785 seconds in under 30 metres. The new record was set by students from ETH Zurich and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, who also designed and built the vehicle.

Trump did talk to Bill Ford, but the Kentucky plant was never moving to Mexico

Fri, Nov 18 2016

President-elect Donald J. Trump has been butting heads with Ford for a while now. A lot of it seems to stem from misunderstanding or misrepresenting facts about how the automaker currently does business and its plans for the future. After a sit-down with executive chairman Bill Ford Jr., the misunderstandings continue, but Trump has apparently convinced the company to make some changes. During his campaign, Trump claimed that Ford was going to fire US workers and move manufacturing to Mexico. That wasn't the case – yes, Ford planned to transfer Focus and C-Max production from Wayne, Michigan, to Cuautitlan, Mexico, but no, that wouldn't mean anyone losing their job. The Wayne plant will continue to operate, and likely busier than before, as it will be the home of the new Bronco and Ranger. So Ford CEO Mark Fields responded with the facts, and then chairman Bill Ford Jr. sat down with Trump over the summer. Things apparently weren't resolved to Trump's satisfaction, so he and Bill Ford spoke on the phone yesterday as he claims in this tweet: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Let's pick that apart. First off, it's not a Lincoln plant, per se – the Louisville Assembly Plant currently builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC, two small crossovers that share a platform. Ford was considering moving MKC production out of Kentucky to Mexico, but it would not have resulted in many lost jobs if any – the union had already agreed to moving the MKC in 2015 negotiations, and taking production of the slow-selling Lincoln out of the plant would open up capacity for more Fords. Be that as it may, Ford has decided not to move MKC production out of the plant, either for political reasons of placation or because it didn't make the greatest deal of business sense, maybe a combination of the two. That means Trump isn't really saving any American jobs in the short term. If anything, this move could keep Ford supply-constrained and result in reduced sales, which in turn brings the company less money and affects the bottom line and all employees. But that's speculation, so we won't tweet it. There is of course the possibility that Ford will be convinced, either by sheer will or by a more attractive trade situation, to invest in increased US production, which could bear fruit later on. We are told by Ford that the two men did in fact speak yesterday.
