1968 Ford Thunderbird Base Hardtop 2-door 7.0l on 2040-cars

Year:1968 Mileage:146000

Salt Lake City, Utah, United States

This is a 1968 Ford Thunderbird in great condition and all original!  The body is in great shape, the car was originally silver but was painted maroon about 5 years ago,  The paint job was thorough and the door panels and under hood and trunk were painted as well. The vinyl top was replaced 3 years ago and is in excellent condition with no sags or tears.  The body overall is almost entirely rust free.  There is a small spot of surface rust over the right rear tire nor larger than a quarter. 
The interior of the car is all original and includes power windows (all working) and an air conditioner.  The seats are all black leather and in great shape.  There are two cracks in the leather each about 1 inch long on the passenger seat but the rest of the seats are like new.  
Under the hood of the car is a ford V8 7.0L 429 Thunderjet with dual exhaust and a 4 barrel holly carburetor.  The car is fast and runs very smooth.  It has 146,000 original miles and has been regularly serviced with no issues.  The engine was recently tuned and turns over no matter the outdoor temperature.  The only technical issues I have had with it are wiring related and just with the taillights.  The brake reverse and turn signals work just fine but the taillights fail to come on from time to time, this however does not effect the headlights or high beams.
Things that have been recently replaced are the starter, battery, front window motors, and turn signal sequencer.  The whole transmission was re-sealed about two years ago and seems to be doing well.  
I have many of the original documents associated with the car and am the 3rd owner.  I really enjoyed having the car but have recently been forced to give it up.

Ford Fiesta ST orders off to strong start

Fri, 17 May 2013

We at Autoblog love the new little Ford Fiesta ST, and apparently, folks in Europe are pretty impressed with it, as well. According to Ford, the automaker's European arm has already logged 3,000 orders for the new hot hatch since it hit dealerships this March. The US-spec car, which will only be available as a five-door, will go on sale in the United States this summer.
What's perhaps most interesting about the Fiesta ST ordering is that the majority of customers appear to be ordering high-spec cars. According to Ford data, 60 percent of customers have opted for the leather interior with Recaro buckets, and 90 percent have selected the upgraded 17-inch wheels (seen on our test car, above). Spirit Blue has been the most popular color, commanding 27 percent of all orders. As for the technology upgrades, 19 percent of customers have ponied up for the Sony stereo with navigation.
To recap, the Fiesta ST is offered with Ford's 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, putting out 179 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. We had an absolute blast flinging the hot Fiesta through the French Alps, and we can't wait for this sharp little hatch to make its way over to the States.

Ford's struggles in China continue as November sales drop 8 percent

Mon, Dec 11 2017

Ford's sales in China fell 8 percent in November from a year ago, following a 5 percent decline in October, the U.S. automaker said on Monday. The firm's sales in the first 11 months of the year totaled 1.06 million vehicles, down 6 percent from the same period a year ago. Ford's China sales growth has lagged behind rivals in the world's top auto market this year, with the carmaker now looking to overhaul its strategy to revive growth in China under new chief executive Jim Hackett. Among other moves, the review of its China operations will likely see Ford focus on segments such as electric cars and electric commercial vans, with China encouraging to help clean up its polluted and congested city centers. Ford is looking to roll out more new-energy vehicles for China and is planning to experiment with a more direct selling approach in a partnership with Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.

Plethora of 2015 Ford F-150 customs runs the gamut at SEMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2014



Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Ford racers.
Of all the OEMs making appearances at the 2014 SEMA show, Ford owns arguably the most significant group of vehicles, thanks to its new 2015 F-150 and Mustang. While you can look for our Mustang coverage soon, we've managed to sneak out and get snaps of some of a few of the F-150s on display at the company's sprawling, 20,000-square-foot display (look for even more aftermarket F-150 goodness in the coming days).
