Available for addition to your Classic Ford Collection is a super low mileage 1975 Thunderbird in a very attractive red with black interior combo. 1975 was the 20th anniversary for the Thunderbird ! This Bird was brought from a Thunderbird enthusiast that had it in proper storage. This car has only 13,xxx miles on the all original and powerful (? !) 460ci engine and automatic transmission. The body wears 80+% of it's original paint. The hood was, from the best we can tell, the only thing that has been repainted due to being "egged" when the car was new. The passenger door skin is dented but has no paint cracking (looks like someone heavy leaned on door to close it and bowed the panel) . You may be able to push it out if the inside door trim panel is removed. The hood has some age cracking and clouding in it that is visible only upon close inspection. The second area of mention is a small chip the size of a pencil eraser on the top of the rear quarter panel just behind the drivers door. The beautiful example of a 1975 Thunderbird has been examined by a quallified automative service technician and is ready to drive anywhere. The Technician did suggest a set of plug wires due to them being the OE 1975 factory wires (still numbered) but we hated to change anything that was not a must on such a low mileage example. All fluids have been changed and the carburetor has been rebuilt. A new set of tires were installed due to age. Power windows, Door Locks, Cruise, and all work as designed as well as all other accessories. The Air Cond. worked great when put in storage, but may need to be top'd off this spring. Bid now to own this Rare low mile example of old American iron. Please contact for additional information needed.

Detroit automakers gain market share simultaneously for first time in 20 years

Wed, 01 May 2013

While monthly sales figures might be an easy way of tracking the progression of the auto industry and individual automakers, looking at market share might be more indicative of how each company is actually standing up against its competitors. For the Detroit Three automakers, they have collectively lost almost 30 percent of the market over the last 20 years, but now, for the first time since 1993, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have each posted market share gains at the same time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's share increased the most by 0.7 percent, GM was up 0.5 percent and Chrysler rose marginally by 0.2 percent, giving the Detroit automakers a total market share of 45.6 percent. As for the Japan's Big Three, the article reports that Toyota is up by 0.7 percent, Nissan is down the same amount and Honda has seen "little change."

Just in time for the holidays, Snowkhana 3 is here

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The gift list for the 12 Days of Christmas is frightfully heavy on birds, so surely no one will mind if we sub out the three French hens for Snowkhana 3. Ford of Europe is back with another stop-motion video that – like versions one and two – throws a 1:64-scale Ford Fiesta in Ken Block livery around a fabulous world of action figures and make believe. This year's video "drives rings around some of the biggest YouTube hits," so those of you who've lost years of your lives to the greatest distraction since the human navel can put your knowledge to use. For anyone else just catching up, we'll help you get rolling: the opening Snowkhana scene channels Stalking Cat. You'll find the rest of your holiday homework in the video.
