1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe 2.3L Turbo Automatic transmission 155,000 miles ON BODY

Car is in good shape has a lot of new parts! The car was painted by the previous owner but has one spot that is flaking off alittle. I have had the car for a couple years now and it was my daily driver until I got a new car and I had to put an engine in the car due to blowing the head gasket on the original motor. I hate to get rid of it but we need the space in the driveway. Car features power locks, power drivers seat, power windows, power mirrors, fuel selector switch, factory fog lamps, 4 wheel disc brakes with ABS, cold A/C and heats works GREAT(automatic adjusting climate control), interior is in great shape, etc. This car has alot of power and is very fun to drive! NEW PARTS INCLUDE: It has a new fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, alternator, Motorcraft plugs, wires, cap, rotor, performance rear tubular upper control arms, fairly new tires, MSD coil, rebuilt turbo and manifold, 3 inch downpipe with dual exhaust, dash mat, Optima battery, strut conversion to non-electronic and new rear shocks. Just put a used motor in it that was out of a 90,000 mile car but the engine had been replaced with a reman so it has less than 90k on it. Transmission was rebuilt about 10,000 miles ago with a new torque converter. The car runs good but intermittently hesitates and unfortunately I don't have time to look into it. I think it may possibly be either a vacuum leak or the pickup in the distributor..... I crank it up and drive it around the neighborhood periodically but like I mentioned I am on the road 5 days a week so I just don't have the time to work on the car like I wish I did. This is a nice car that just needs a little TLC! When I drove it daily before I put the new engine in it was getting 25-27 MPG!!! I have around $4000 invested in the car so my loss is your gain. Please feel free to message me with any questions and happy bidding! Car is located in Tega Cay, SC just 10 mintues from Charlotte, NC...would not recommend trying to drive it home. Car is AS-IS and needs to be picked up within 7 days of auction ending. I WILL ADD INTERIOR PICTURES TOMORROW!

Unibody Ford Ranger replacement

More evidence GT500-replacement will be named GT350

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

During the recent unveiling of the 2015 Ford Mustang, we saw the car in both V6 and GT form, but we'll have to wait a little bit longer to see the successor to the Shelby GT500. In the meantime, though, it looks like SVTPerformance.com has confirmed reports that this high-performance model will bring the Shelby GT350 name back to Ford.
According to the forum post, a user found the Shelby GT350 name on a Ford promo website listing its 2015 lineup. The Shelby GT350 name was first used on a Mustang back in 1965, and most recently it has been a model created for customers as a post-title purchase by Shelby American. As for that car, Shelby confirmed earlier in the year that its GT350 would be phased out at the end of this month.
The million-dollar question for Mustang and Shelby enthusiasts is when we'll see next factory Shelby GT350. Last we heard it was planned for a debut at the New York Auto Show. We've included our previous spy shots of this hi-po, sixth-gen Mustang, and we've also captured it on spy video showing off its exhaust note.

How Ford plans to handle insurance and repair questions surrounding new aluminum-bodied F-150

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Building a car out of aluminum has a number of benefits - the lighter weight allows the vehicle to be more agile, more fuel efficient, make better use of its power and be more resistant to dings and dents. The downside to the advanced construction, though, is that repairs are both challenging and expensive. That's troubling for the new, aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, because it's kind of made a name for itself as a rugged, durable work vehicle.
How will the legions of Ford buyers cope when it comes time to insure and repair their new trucks? Well, according to Ford, it's expecting a ten-percent jump in insurance costs for the aluminum-bodied F-150, although Ford's truck marketing manager, Doug Scott, was quick to point out that the F-150 is generally cheaper to insure than its competition from Ram and General Motors. "At the end of the day, that's sort of a wash," Scott told Automotive News at last week's Detroit Auto Show. "We've spent a lot of time and feel very comfortable that that's not going to be an inhibitor."
The other issue facing Ford is the distinct lack of body shops that have the training or equipment to repair aluminum-bodied vehicles. AN cites an estimate from the Automotive Service Association claiming that of the 30,000 independent body shops in the US, less than 10 percent are able to work on aluminum.
