For Auction today is a 1988 Ford Thunderbird. This is the favorite Thunderbird body-style of many Thunderbird fans. This is a project car, it is in need of total restoration. I have already done the following for you and the body and interior need to be done by you, in the right hands the body and interior can easily be finished out and will be a great car in the future and will be rare and valuable. I hate to let it go but I have another one to restore, a 1997 Thunderbird plus my daily car, a Mustang, and I need to get light.

New: Rebuilt engine from ATK Rebuilt Engines, rebuilt transmission, custom built with a shift kit/clutch for each gear, steering rack, belts, hoses, steering hoses, brakes, several suspension parts like control-arm bushings, alternator, PS pump, a/c compressor, radiator, evaporator and condensing coils, struts. It is a base model but it has a posi-trac rear end and rear stabilizer bar from a Thunderbird Sport.

Please read these two very important points of interest:

I am keeping this car within the Thunderbird community and want to pass it on to someone who loves it for the exact reasons that I do and someone who also believes the 1987-88 body style is among the very best of Thunderbirds. If you are looking for basic transportation, of a beater car or a college car or anything like that then please look elsewhere.

Next, I want to inform you that there is something strange "wrong" with the car. These cars with this engine and transmission, certain year ranges of Thunderbirds and Mustangs are designed to get a certain MPG range with 27 MPG on the highway being pretty much the ceiling, which isn't bad. But for some reason this car gets 30-31 MPG on the HWY. Not sure why and not complaining.

All of the above has about 30 thousand miles. Reserve is going to be set at one thousand dollars. Any questions call or text 214-554-1850 Car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with

Mon, 12 May 2014

Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
