IS PROUD TO PRESENT... A PARTIALLY RESTORED AND VERY SOLID 10TH ANNIVERSARY 1965 THUNDERBIRD CONVERTIBLE! Want a super cool V8 convertible that’s ready to cruise this summer? How about one with some of the best vintage styling ever draped over two doors and four tires? If the answer is a resounding “YES”, this 1965 Ford Thunderbird is exactly the car you’ve been searching for! With the original Thunderbird 390 V8 and automatic transmission, this car is the perfect classic for anyone who enjoys getting fresh air and exploring the open road. If you’re looking to add a little spice to your weekend routine, here’s the perfect way to take Sunday drives to a whole new level! Solid and straight, this T-bird’s lust-inducing body reflects a picturesque coat of glossy Burgundy paint over black interior that creates a rich and classy demeanor. From its glossy shine to its chip-free rocker panels, the paint’s deep finish is nice enough to be the star at any local cruise night, and certainly nicer than the car’s original, factory-applied Honey Yellow. Naturally, a star of that caliber requires top notch panel fit; and it appears the folks who bolted this Ford together spent a lot of time making sure its laser straight body maintained excellent cohesion. And overall, the car is a stunning tribute to one of the coolest designs to ever fly out of Dearborn, Michigan 50 years ago this September! The Thunderbird was Ford’s response to
Chevrolet’s crude Corvette. And when introduced in 1955, it outsold
Chevy’s unrefined halo by 24 to 1. Part of the reason for that big
success was the car’s versatile mix of American substance and European
aesthetics. Tilt this Ford’s mile long hood
up and you’ll find the original 390 cubic inch Thunderbird V8 that’s dressed to impress. Nice enough to show but still fully
drivable, this is the perfect compromise for enthusiasts who like to
display their car and still enjoy the occasional top-down weekend. Behind the aforementioned 390, a stalwart automatic Cruise-O-Matic transmission sends power to the original factory 3.00 to 1 ratio rear end. The car’s suspension remains in its original configuration with control arms up front and leafs out back. All of the chassis’ s front end safety parts were replaced and a new dual exhaust ensures the integrity and sound that a true "Big Block Bird" is known for. Power front disc braking is quick and adequate thanks to fresh hardware occupying all for corners of the suspension. And on the outside of those new brakes, 4 new radial whitewall tires surround classy chrome hub caps, slightly hidden behind a set of famous Ford Thunderbird skirts. Burgundy paint is legendary for its characteristically 60's feel. And when paired with this Thunderbird’s correct Black interior, it creates the perfect culmination of style and sophistication. While appearing original, its interior is still in good condition and as such, livable for years to come. There’s relatively new carpet throughout that features clean loops. Front and center, a translucent speedometer, "bubble gauges, and cool original radio look great inside a stainless-trimmed and Thunderbird-branded dash. In front of the driver, a Thunderbird "slide-away" steering wheel, complete with rim around a chrome, Thunderbird-branded center ring. Between the bucket seats sports a chrome laden console that accents the "cockpit" perfectly. At the sides of the passengers, scuff-free door panels center perfectly placed armrests below engine-turned trim. And behind the car’s retracted top, a fully restored trunk hangs an old school jack between a new mat and correct deck lid decal. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Ford guy, Mopar guy or Chevy guy, this impressive Thunderbird is one of those cool cars that transcends barriers and has universal appeal. The car’s great looks, great performance, and great color combo all add up to an exceptional classic that can be driven and enjoyed every day of the summer. Indulge as is, or tinker with it to make it sharper, either way you’ll have a high value cruiser that has unmatched curb appeal and the muscle to back up its good looks.

Blue Oval's new Cargo cab-over rig is largest "One Ford" initiative yet
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The imposing commercial truck above has a feature that might be surprising to most Autoblog readers - a Blue Oval emblem on the front. Here in North America, Ford simply doesn't play in the eighteen-wheeler sandbox, but that doesn't mean that the Dearborn-based automaker is absent in the heavy hauling space in other parts of the globe. In fact, Ford presently fields two completely different big rig ranges under the Cargo moniker - one a product of an Eastern Europe/Turkey joint venture, and another from Brazil. But that's about to start changing with the advent of this new cab-over model seen here.
Unveiled in São Paulo, Brazil, this new generation of Cargo is perhaps the largest physical embodiment of CEO Alan Mulally's "One Ford" global streamlining strategy. Instead of multiple models, company engineers have developed a new single truck that it says will better meet the needs of truckers in all markets. Designed to compete in what's known as the "extra heavy-duty segment" elsewhere in the world, this Cargo was developed jointly by Ford engineering teams in Brazil, Turkey and Europe.
Specifics remain hard to come by (read: unreleased), but Ford is promising an all-new engine enabling hauling capability of up to 56 tons while still returning excellent fuel economy. Ford's global Cargo lineup will henceforth consist of a dozen models, but Ford tells Autoblog has no plans to bring this hot and heavy-duty action to North America.
