1973 Ford Thunderbird
I have enjoyed this car for the last 3 years but I've lost my storage space. I have way to many projects and not enough time to do right by this car anytime in the foreseeable future. The story I was told when I bought this car was it was originally purchased by an older couple in Portland, OR. It was the wifes car, sometime later the husband died and the lady started driving his car which was smaller and the thunderbird sat in the garage. When the lady died, the car passed to either to the guy I bought it from or he purchased it from the family. I don't remember how that worked. Anyway, his kid was driving the car to school but wanted something different at which time it was sold to me.
Driving this car, it is everything you would expect from a luxury car of this era, smooth, quiet, powerful, with the floating on a cloud ride. This car has all the power accessories, power steering, power front disc/rear drum brakes, power windows, power seats, power door locks, factory AM/FM stereo radio, electric trunk release, and electric rear window defroster. The right rear window operates slow, and the radio has very poor reception on FM it may need a new antenna. The leather seats and the carpet are in clean and in excellent condition. In the trunk, the spare tire, tire cover, jack, and all liner panels and carpet are clean, present and in good condition. The body is in very good condition with no dents, the paint is lightly oxidized but will shine with minimal effort. The factory pinstripes are getting thin in spots. All the chrome and trim pieces are present and in good condition. The vinyl top should be replaced, it is dried out and starting to crack in the bottom of the "leather" grain. The 460 engine runs like a top, and automatic transmission shifts as it should. I replaced the carburetor with a new Holley carb, the original ford carb will be included in the sale if you want it. I also have a reprinted set of factory shop manuals that will be included.
I have tried to list all the thunderbirds good and bad points as honestly as I could. That being said, this is a 40 year old car and it is sold in as is condition with no warrantee of any kind. I have clear Washington title in my name in hand, The car has WA "collector car" license plates which are transferable to WA residents and never expire.
At the close of this auction, I require a $250.00 deposit via PayPal within 48 hours, with the balance due within 10 days of the end of the auction. Final payment to be in cash or certified funds. The car will not be released until any checks clear the bank. I will work with you, or your shipper if you can't pickup the car in person, but any and all shipping charges are the responsibility of the purchaser.

Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost
Mon, 17 Mar 2014"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
2015 Roush Mustang lineup officially revealed
Thu, 02 Oct 2014
Just last week, Saleen revealed initial details of its tuning program for the new Ford Mustang. And now Roush is following suit.
Available in three stages - based on the V6 (RS), EcoBoost (RS1) and V8 (RS2) models - the 2015 Roush Mustangs all feature the venerable Ford tuner's latest R7 aero kit complete with remodeled fascia, five-blade grille, gaping air dam with integrated driving lamps and splitter. Around back there's a one-piece deck spoiler and "race-inspired lower aero-valance."
Cosworth double-feature is XCar's a drool-worthy look back
Wed, Jun 11 2014While American fans of Ford performance cars in the '80s and early '90s were loving the 5.0 Mustang, Taurus SHO and, for those who wanted to be a little different, the Merkur XR4Ti, British fans of the Blue Oval were getting their own unique take on speed. The Sierra RS Cosworth (which was similar but not identical to the aforementioned Merkur) and later Escort RS Cosworth were the stuff of dreams with huge wings, hood vents and big power for their time and class. XCar Films aims to find out whether it is little more than nostalgia that makes these classics famous or it really is their legitimate performance. Thanks to its Formula One and racing success, Cosworth was already a well-established performance name in the UK by the time it began selling tuned engines to Ford for the Sierra and Escort. The Sierra RS Cosworth hit the scene in 1986 with a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 204 horsepower and rear-wheel drive. Its huge wing at the back signaled it immediately as something special, and it proved to be a performance powerhouse on and off the track. When it was retired, Ford replaced it with the Escort RS Cosworth that used an upgraded version of the same engine with 217 hp, all-wheel drive and an even bigger rear wing to net yet more racing victories. XCar really gets into the spirit of the time, opening the video with the lo-fi grain of '80s and '90s TV, but to find out whether the Cossies stand up to modern scrutiny, you have to watch the video below. Stay tuned until the end to enjoy them at their best with some vintage motorsports footage. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
