Up for bid is a remarkably clean survivor; 1971 Ford Thunderbird with the 429 "Thunderjet" V8. This vintage luxury car has had 3 owners, and the vehicle is pretty much all original. Rust-free, and it has always lived in California. We will cooperate with shipping world-wide.

No reserve - high bid takes this car. The registration is on "non-op" so there are no back fees, and the title is clean. Plus, this car is smog-exempt here in Cal. We ended up painting the rear door that had the primer, but it wasn't a perfect shade. So, the whole car is brown now, but one door doesn't quite match. There are other areas where there are flaws in the paint.

This car runs and drives, but I wouldn't consider driving it home to Florida. Or even to L.A. One cylinder has low compression, and the car smokes on start-up. Passenger power window stops part way up. Drivers power window is slow / weak. The tires aren't any good. The brakes are OK. AC doesn't work. Power steering works fabulous, but is a little noisy. The vinyl top needs to be replaced.

Included in the auction:
Original Ford service manuals
Original glovebox documentation, except for owners manual
New fender chrome for right rear fender well
Other small replacement parts / items


The car is available to be viewed almost anytime, except for Saturdays. It is up for sale locally, so I might end the auction early if there's no bids and I get a solid offer. Thanks for looking!

2015 Ford Mustang to make world debut on Dec. 5 [w/video]

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Between a bevvy of spy shots, speculative renders and insidery images from the halls of Car and Driver, we've got a pretty decent idea of what the 2015 Ford Mustang might look like. Still, we're excited to see the real deal as soon as possible.
Turns out that Ford has told us just when that first official look might come, too, although it has chosen somewhat of a backdoor fashion for dropping the news.
The video below popped up on the Ford Mustang YouTube channel this morning, promoting a social media effort called #MustangInspires on. The video and hashtag ask fans of the pony car to share pictures of the car - or "photographic stories of inspiration" - on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But the truly interesting part of the video description is that which mentions taking "the cover off the all-new Mustang" on December 5. Consider our calendars marked.

Ford Mustang pinball machine has supple wrist, plays by sense of smell [w/video]

Fri, 07 Feb 2014

Ford didn't have anything major to show off at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, so it seems it instead opted to have some fun - it brought a row of pinball machines to the show. Yes, pinball machines.
We originally told you about the Stern Pinball Ford Mustang machine a few days ago, and as day two of the Chicago show is a bit of a slow one, we opted to head to the show floor and get some snaps of the bank of new machines. Not surprisingly, there's plenty for the Mustang fan in each of these machines, ranging frond different models, to logos to a full model.
Take a look below for our full gallery of live shots, available up top. Then head below for our original gallery of stock images, along with a video and press release on the new machines.

Ford wins second consecutive Engine of the Year with 1.0L EcoBoost [UPDATE]

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

For the second year in a row, Ford has taken top honors in International Engine of the Year voting. As was the case last year, it is Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that earns the automaker the accolade, achieving the highest-ever accumulated score in the 15 years that the award has been handed out.
A panel of 87 automotive journalists from 35 countries are responsible for choosing the world's best engines, and this is only the third time an automaker has managed back-to-back victories. Voters were impressed by the "Baby EcoBoost" engine's power output - 123 horsepower between 1,400 and 4,500 rpm, 148 pound-feet of torque from 1,400 to 4,000 rpm - and its compact size; Ford has demonstrated that the package is small enough to fit in the overhead bin of a passenger airplane.
Currently, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered in the European Fiesta, B-MAX, Focus, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, and Ford plans to put the engine in the Transit Connect, Transit Courier, Tourneo Connect, Tourneo Courier, Mondeo and EcoSport in short order. In North America, the Fiesta will be the first vehicle to offer the 1.0L EcoBoost later this year.
