1986 Ford Thunderbird Base Sedan 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
White Marsh, Maryland, United States
|
I've decided to sell my 1986 Ford Thunderbird Base model that only has 85,720 Actual Miles!! I bought this car last year as a back up vehicle but no longer need it since I purchased another car. Comes equipped with an EFI 5.0 that runs great! Power windows; power locks (not working-needs Actuators?); power both seats; power antenna; cruise; tilt; cold a/c; hot heat; keyless entry...manual sunroof that was installed by previous owner (does NOT leak). Has been painted a few years ago by a previous owner, does have a few chips and scratches but shows/shines well! Absolutely NO rust! Non smokers! The covers were put on the front seats only to protect them...driver seat has a couple small tears right next to where your left leg would rest, probably from sliding in and out of the car. The passenger seat is in excellent condition. The stock stereo does work but the left front chanel goes in and out sometimes. The headliner around the sunroof has tears in it from probably being pulled too tight when it was installed??? Please keep in mind that this Bird IS 28+ years old and does have a few "Bumps and Bruises"...I try to explain any/all problems the best way I know how. If you have ANY questions, please ask before placing bid. The fuel gauge and temp gauge do not work, I think it may be the voltage regulator in the instrument cluster, but not sure. I just fill it up when the Tripometer reaches 300 or so miles...it has the 22 gallon tank! Previous owner removed the cats and ran a true dual exhaust which sounds pretty good. It does shift kinda hard from 3rd to 4th...has been like this since I bought it from the previous owner. I did do a pan drop on the transmission, change the filter and fluid about 800 miles ago. The Dashboard has cracks from aging outdoors...The tires have around 80% tread left, and the brakes stop this Bird with NO pulling. It could use a front end alignment, the steering wheel is not quite centered and it pulls just a little to the right, but there is no uneven wear on the front tires. Like I said before, this T-Bird runs great and could easily be used as a daily driver.

The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.
Ford's Mulally makes shortlist for Microsoft CEO
Fri, 08 Nov 2013Ford CEO Alan Mulally has made the short list to take over tech giant Microsoft, lending further credence to rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would ditch Dearborn and move to Redmond.
The report comes from Reuters, which claims that alongside Mulally, former Nokia CEO Stephen Elop and three candidates from within Microsoft are on the short list to succeed Steve Ballmer at the company's helm, although previous reports claim the Ford exec is the number one candidate. Mulally is currently working without a contract, although Bill Ford seems to believe that he isn't likely to depart. Despite this belief, Ford was quoted just last month talking about the depth of talent on the Blue Oval's executive team.
"There is no change from what we announced last November. Alan remains fully focused on continuing to make progress on our One Ford plan. We do not engage in speculation," said Ford spokesman Jay Cooney.
Ford Fiesta ST gets worked out on the track
Sun, 10 Mar 2013We're big fans of the turbocharged Ford Focus ST, and we're plenty excited that the Blue Oval will be offering a similar treatment on the smaller Fiesta here in the United States, too. We first saw the production-ready Fiesta ST five-door at the Los Angeles Auto Show last fall, and Ford has now released this video of a Euro-spec three-door ST being flung around the track.
But not just any track - the challenging Track 7 of Ford's Lommel Proving Grounds in Belgium. The course features 20 turns and plenty of elevation changes along its 2.7-mile loop, and David Put, a vehicle dynamic specialist at Ford, shows just how good the pint-sized Fiesta ST is at handling the lot, even getting the smallest ST up on three wheels every now and then.
It sure does look like a lot of fun, and makes us really eager for our chance to try this ourselves. Scroll down to see the hot little Ford getting busy.
