1986 FORD THUNDERBIRD-78231.7 ORIGIINAL MILES FIX OR PARTS

DESCRIPTION -For your consideration is this 1986 Ford Thunderbird in used condition. I purchased this car about 3 years ago from the estate of the original owner with 58,598 original miles on it.This car has been a daily driver since I bought it. Last week on 7-17-14 I drove it home from work and parked it,a couple hours later I went out to leave and it wouldn't start.The car turns over fine but doesn't fire. I don't like working on cars and only do what I feel comfortable doing. I have a buddy that works on cars and he checked it out.He says the fuel pump is shot on the car. This is a tank mounted pump and would require dropping the gas tank to repair it. A local auto parts store says the pump is about $100 plus shipping. We found the gas pump safety switch in the trunk and it was not tripped. I even bypassed the switch and car will not start. The other issue is the drivers seatbelt stationary part(2nd to last pic) is broken. A spring inside must be broken belt will not lock in. I had a salvage yard search for one and they couldn't find it. The original radio was shot and I put a Pioneer stereo in the car. I'm going to keep the stereo so car will have no radio in it. Someone who likes to work on cars could get this running and get alot of driving out of it.Car has no dents but some rust along rockers. Air conditioning and heat both work fine. Car is located in central Iowa and can be picked up there. Half of payment due at auction end,balance paid when car is picked up. I have clear title and will sign it over when you pick up car. I would like the car gone within 30 days of auction close. Feel free to email or call with any questions. My cell is 515-297-1289 and ask for Don. Best to call after 3:30 central time

2015 Ford Mustang gets pricing, configurator and less weight than expected

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

It's here; it's finally here. No more speculating or looking at dealer order guides, the configurator for the 2015 Ford Mustang is finally online. That means you should put down whatever you're doing and build your new 'Stang. Weight data for the new model has also leaked out, and while there is an increase, it's less than previously rumored.
The basic V6 coupe carries a base price of $23,600, plus an additional $825 destination charge for all models. Upgrading to the 2.3-liter Ecoboost costs $25,170, and the Ecoboost Premium is $29,170. If you need a V8 in your life, the Mustang GT is $32,100 or $36,100 with the Premium package. That puts the starting price up about $1,000 over the previous generation for the V6, but the turbocharged four-cylinder starts about $1,400 less than the V6 Premium, which is no longer available. Prices for both V8 models jumped about $1,000, as well.
If you need the convertible Mustang, the V6 starts at $29,100, excluding destination, $1,590 more than last year. The Ecoboost Premium 'vert is $34,670, and the GT droptop is $41,600.

Focus ST diesel variant coming, just don't look for it here

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

A few years back, Volkswagen made some waves when it announced the Golf GTD - a diesel-powered car that, aside from its ultra-efficient, ultra-torquey engine, was identical to the gas-powered GTI. That meant cosseting sport seats, larger wheels, sportier suspension, larger brakes and a body kit that made the GTD indistinguishable from the GTI, except for the three little letters on the back and in the grille.
Now, Ford is looking to replicate VW's success, with a diesel version of the Focus ST. According to Motor Trend, the diesel-powered ST will use a 2.0-liter, 182-horsepower four-cylinder. With an unspecified amount of torque on offer (we'd guess around 280 pound-feet), the diesel hot hatch should hit 62 miles per hour in about eight seconds.
The report, which originally comes from Auto Express, claims the ST Diesel was confirmed by Ford Chief Marketing Officer Mark Fields during this week's Geneva Motor Show. Not surprisingly, it doesn't appear there are any plans to bring a diesel-powered Focus of any kind to the US, let alone one that uses the suspension, steering and other items from the ST. Of course, if there's an official confirmation from Ford, we'll be sure to report on it.
