1996 Ford Thunderbird With Xenon Custom Ground Effects & Verde Regency Wheels on 2040-cars
Shelbyville, Tennessee, United States
Offered for sale is my wife's 1996 Raven Black Thunderbird with Custom CSI Motorsports Ground Effects and Rear Spoiler. Because my wife wanted the perfect Bird to keep, we searched long and hard to find the very nicest one out there. This one is it inside and outside. Now she has decided that a 4Runner suits her better so this awesome Thunderbird is for sale. I have receipts for way over $4500 worth of upgrades and maintenance to make this already pristine car just as solid as brand new. Nothing was overlooked from the front to the back. The list is too long to type but this car needs absolutely nothing for the next 100000 miles except oil changes and driving. Belts, hoses, ALL fluids changed, plugs/wires, wheel bearings, struts/shocks, ceramic brakes/rotors, wheels/tires, Kenwood Radio/CD/USB/Bluetooth/Pandora/Satellite capable/etc plus new speakers (I still have the factory radio, too), 2 1/4" Flowmaster exhaust, windows tinted all around with 35%, and much more. The interior of this car is perfect, and I mean perfect in every way. You could not tell that the car has ever been sat in and driven from the condition of the interior. The pictures will show zero wear/tear anywhere including the front driver's seat which is about the only one that has ever seen a butt. The original carpeted floor mats are like brand new and I had a custom embroidered set made as well to the tune of $200. It has never had a cigarette in it and the dash board is perfect even though I added a custom DashMat for looks. The trunk is Brand new inside and the original spare has never been disturbed. The 17" Verde Regency wheels are wrapped in 235/50-17 Yokohama Avid Envigor tires and wheels/tires have less than 5000 miles on them. The all original paint is in exceptional condition with just the normal bug marks on the front end and you will have to search for any other imperfections. The pictures tell the story and this car has been kept in this kind of condition since new and not "made up" to look great. This is truly a "one of a kind" car and I doubt you would ever find a nicer example anywhere. The car has Automatic Temperature Control, Automatic Headlights, Power Windows, Power Door Locks, Power Moonroof, Power Driver Seat, Power Trunk Release, Power Antenna, Power Remote Side Mirrors both sides, Rear Window Defroster, Tilt Steering Wheel , Cruise Control, and comes with all the Original Books/ Manuals/ Keys, and both Original Keyless Remotes (which both work) and the Remote for the Kenwood Stereo. Every option works just like it should with the exception of the Power Antenna which is sometimes finicky about going down (it does function correctly 95% of the time). This car has always been garaged, covered, and never slept outdoors since new. I have the clean/clear title in my hand and ready for transfer. I am providing a phone number where I can be reached and if your call is missed it will be returned if you leave a short message. NO emails (except through eBay) or texts can be answered so don't waste your time. Call David @ 931.639.3926 before 9pm for more information or specific questions about the Thunderbird.

And the Top Gear UK Cars of the Year for 2013 are...
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Those loony Brits at Top Gear have named their Car of the Year, and if you're thinking it's the McLaren P1, Jaguar F-Type, Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Rolls-Royce Wraith, we're sorry to inform you that none of those Anglo automobiles earned the crown. In fact, the winner of Top Gear's most prestigious award is quite the surprise.
Of course, those cars weren't without their own awards. The P1 was the top hypercar (sorry, Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari), while the F-Type netted best convertible and the Range Rover Sport was voted SUV of the Year. Other honorable mentions included the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black and S-Class, the Porsche 911 GT3, the BMW i3 and the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The winner, though, wasn't even a high-dollar supercar. It was the Ford Fiesta ST.
Yes, the Fiesta ST beat out some off-the-wall cars like the revolutionary Volkswagen XL1 and the bonkers Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak, not to mention all the cars we listed above, to take the title of Top Gear Car of the Year. And if you've driven one, you'll completely understand why.
Radical RXC is a Mustang-hearted racecar for the road
Fri, May 30 2014Radical has been building fantastic open-cockpit racers and roadcars for years, for the track day enthusiast who wants a vehicle that looks like it could show up for a start at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The company's latest creation is the RXC, and while this coupe looks like a prototype racer, it's road legal in the UK and in some parts of the US. When testing a car this, um, radical, the first thought is likely to get it to the track for some big slides and wide open acceleration, but XCar Films takes the opposite approach in its latest video to learn how this racer fares on public roads. The version tested here is the standard RXC with the 3.7-liter V6 out of the Ford Mustang tuned to 350 horsepower with a seven-speed sequential gearbox; but Radical also offers the same engine with 380-hp, a 454-hp Ford EcoBoost 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, or even a 500-hp V8. Even in the most basic guise, it's a handful to control in the wet, if this video is any indication. The cliche of a road-legal racecar is bandied around a lot in the motoring world, but it truly applies to the RXC. The only problem with seeing the RXC exclusively on the road is that it can never really open up and show its full potential. This racer is indeed chomping at the bit to rocket off into the horizon, but all those pesky road safety laws hold it back. Still, the video is a chance to get a better impression about this thoroughbred sports car. Scroll down to check it out. This content is hosted by a third party.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
