Listing today is for my 1983 T-Bird Heritage Edition. I have owned this car since 2008 and it had approx 75k miles on it, today it has 91k on it. We purchased this car for my sons 1st car and it served its purpose very well never having any issues. He has since moved on to college and roped me into getting him a new car so for the past couple years it has only been driven sparingly and sits in my garage covered up but due to the possibility of a change in careers its time to unload some of my cars as I cant drive them all. Since owning the car numerous items have been repaired or replaced. Some of the items I recall at the moment are a new heater core, new brakes, headliner was replaced, window motors replaced, new tires. Car originally had steel wheels and hubcaps and now has mustang turbine rims on it. If you want I believe I still have the original steel wheels and I know I have the caps. I believe I am the 4th owner of the car. The car started out in CA and then was in PA, the gentleman I purchased it from only owned it a short time and purchased it from a family member. Since I have owned it it has never seen snow and I don't believe it was ever winter driven as the underside is very clean and rust free. The doors are solid and not rotted out at the bottoms like typical fox body birds. Car has a/c but it hasn't worked since I've owned it and never looked to see what was needed. The window run channels and dew wipes are perfect and not dried out or cracked. The car has keypad entry which works with the original ford code sticker still in the trunk. I have the original owners manual along with some factory Ford service manuals. Right now as the car sits the grille on it is painted to match the car but I also have a chrome original grille that goes with the car. Both grilles have the correct turquoise T-Bird emblem that was used on the Heritage editions. Because it is a Heritage it also has the coach lamps. They lit faintly when I bought the car but now just give out a faint hum which I believe signifies a bad invertor in them which can be repaired with a little electrical know how. The only item the car needs at the moment is a muffler. Due to my change in careers and moving I have listed this with a low reserve and will consider the high bid if reserve not met so bid to win. If you have any questions or want any other pictures just ask and I will get them as soon as I can.

2015 Ford F-150 to get up to 26 miles per gallon
Fri, Nov 21 2014The 2015 Ford F-150 is one of the most important US vehicle debuts in years, be it in the pickup segment or the entire marketplace. While we've already known about the truck's engine lineup, its payload ratings and we've even learned a bit about how it drives, the truck's EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings have remained a mystery. The wait is finally over. Ford has announced numbers that put the latest F-150 as the mileage leader among gasoline-powered, full-size pickups in the US, with its new 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 topping the charts. Starting with the entry-level naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6, the rear-wheel-drive F-150 is rated at 18-miles-per-gallon city, 25-mpg highway and 20-mpg combined. Opting for four-wheel drive drops those numbers slightly to 17/23/19. If fuel economy is your absolute priority, then upgrading to the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 is the hot ticket. It improves things further to 19/26/22 in rear-wheel drive trim or 18/23/20 with four-wheel drive. The carryover naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 is rated at 15/22/18 as a 4X2 or 15/21/17 as a 4X4. Finally, the flagship 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 tops the range in available torque and offers buyers 17/24/20 ratings with rear-wheel drive or 17/23/19 with four-wheel drive. "We are delivering with the toughest, smartest and most capable F-150 ever – and now the highest EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of any full-size gas-powered pickup in America," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development, in the company's announcement. Depending on engine and drivetrain configuration, Ford contends that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost's top rating puts fuel economy up between 5 and 29 percent over the current generation, thanks in large part to the truck's lighter aluminum construction. Obviously, these are EPA estimates, and your mileage may vary – ours has. Recently, Autoblog team members have had real difficulty even approximating government mpg estimates on many EcoBoost models, including the new F-150.

Ford Mustang was almost 'Imported from Detroit'
Wed, Oct 7 2015The Ford Mustang achieved iconic status nearly the moment the sheet came off at the 1964 World's Fair. And if Henry Ford II wasn't getting divorced around that time, the pony car might have been called the Torino and been marketed as 'Imported from Detroit,' according to Automotive News. We'll explain. During research for the new book Once in a Great City: A Detroit Story, author David Maraniss found an interesting connection between Chrysler's (now FCA US) slogan and the Ford Mustang. Before the pony car even had a name, the Blue Oval's advertising agency had the idea to market it as a "brand new import ... from Detroit," according to Automotive News. The vehicle would be sold as "inspired by Italy's great road cars, but straight from Detroit." The name Torino was suggested, as well. However, the real world interfered in making the Mustang Detroit's first import. According to the author, Henry Ford II was getting a divorce, and his future wife was Italian. It was therefore thought to be a bad idea to sell the future pony car as being from Italy. Things clearly changed by the time the Torino hit the streets years later. Related Video:
2013 Shelby 1000 unleashes its 1,200 horsepower ahead of NY show reveal
Fri, 22 Mar 2013True story: Last fall, I had the opportunity to spend a week with Ford's new 2013 Shelby GT500 - the Blue Oval's factory Mustang with 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque. It's an amazing beast, to be sure. I'm not sure if it was Michigan's damp streets strewn with potholes and wet leaves, but at no point did I ever say to myself, "You know, Ford is on to a really good thing here, but what it really needs is about twice the power." And yet, for people in warmer climes with infrastructure in better nick - or for those whose muscle cars live their lives out on the track, there's apparently sufficient demand to warrant just such a beast.
Quick studies will recall that Shelby American launched its 1000 last year to commemorate its 50th anniversary, but it is returning to the New York Auto Show with a fresh version based on the 2013 GT500 I drove. The 2013 Shelby 1000 whips up 1,200 horsepower on pump gas thanks to beefed-up forced induction, engine internals and cooling. Wisely, it also incorporates an adjustable suspension and big brake package to make sure those ponies have the best chance being safely deployed to the ground.
What price the world's most powerful "production" muscle car? $154,995 for starters - donor GT500 not included. What, no convertible variant?
