1986 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Sedan 2-door 2.3l on 2040-cars
Richmond, Indiana, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1986 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. Was a Texas car originally from Illinois. Its 90% original no rust or any accidents ever. Everything works great on the car its ready to drive anywhere. It does great on the highway still has plenty of power and it is good on gas on the highway easily 25+ mpg. It rides really smooth much nicer than any other fox I have ever been in (although I heard the Elan t-bird was even nicer). The upgrades are off 87-88 T-bird but are stock parts the hood, intercooler, VAM, LA3 computer. The only things not factory are full exhaust header too (will pass emission) rims and it does have a one wire alternator it needed more power the factory one was really weak. The only thing this car could use is small wheel spacers on the front rubs in reverse and only if its fully turned. Other than that it dont leak or need brakes or a tune up or a battery the tires may have 2000 miles on them. The way I see it insurance is cheep its a classic the value will keep goin up. A new car has expensive insurance plates it looses value every year. Plus its different it stands out you dont see many of these and its a shame cause with just some wheels they can be very good lookin. If I cant sell it its prolly getting raped by a coyote but Id like to go to a collector or someone who appreciates its originality. Well if you have any questions message me or give me a text or call 765-977-0091. If I cant answer just leave a message. Thanks for lookin.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy
Tue, 07 May 2013With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost already hitting 12-second quarters
Sun, 28 Sep 2014The arrival of a new Ford Mustang means many things to many people, but not least of them is drag racers. The pony car has always been a mainstay of the drag strip, and the Ford Racing team aims to carry that reputation forward with this latest generation. So it cooked up a few basic modifications on three new 'Stangs and headed to the strips at US 131 and Milan Dragway to see what they could coax out of 'em.
Impressively, the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT with a few modifications (but no forced induction) managed to clock a quarter-mile time of 11.77 seconds. Another Mustang GT fitted with a supercharger clocked a blistering 10.97 seconds. But just as intriguing was the modified EcoBoost model that, with only four cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, still passed the gates in just 12.56 seconds - nearly half a second better than expected. This with modification limited to a new subframe, half-shaft, drive shaft loops, exhaust, engine calibration, slicks, roll cage and bucket seat. Well done, boys.
Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales
Tue, 22 Apr 2014The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.
