Up for bid is a nice 1965 Ford Thunderbird with a good running 390V8 engine and automatic transmission. It has rebuilt 4 barrel carburetor, engine bay looks clean and detailed. It had new oil change and filter, new plugs, new distributor cap and rotor, and new battery. Starts right up and runs good. It has lots of power for a big boat like this. It was garaged and driven less than 1k miles for the last 9 years owned by the previous owner.

Interior has a lot of chrome and stainless trims in nice shape. Cathedral back seats looks very good and its enthusiast's favorite part of the 64-65 Tbirds. Headliner looks good, front seats looks clean, carpet has fading wear, dash looks good, door panels looks good with minor wear. Trunk has some stains from age but its the original mat and for its age looks good. It has AC all complete and might need recharge, but it works and blowers are good. Turn signals work, wipers work, horn works, gas gauge intermittent, radio turns on, only driver side power window works and the rest could be switch. Swing away steering is a cool signature of 60' Thunderbirds and useful too to get in and out.

Paint was done about 4-5 years ago and still looks good and shines well, its an original repaint and cost the owner about $4000. It's a nice blue and matches well this T-Bird. Body is really straight, no rust worries. The bumpers and trims looks beautiful. It's nice to find a Thunderbird in this shape that can easily take you back to good 'ol days!

Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.

George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]

Sun, 20 Jan 2013

Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.
