Must See**1977 Ford Thunderbird**only 1,924 Actual Miles**absolutely Spectacular on 2040-cars
United States
1977 FORD THUNDERBIRD ONE OWNER 1,924 ACTUAL MILES NO RUST ALL ORIGINAL ABSOLUTELY STUNNING Before describing this car, it is important for me to note that it has NOT been cleaned up for pictures. How you see it in the pictures, is how it came out of the garage. The motor was NOT repainted and the motor was NOT shined up. I wanted to highlight the originality and its true condition so that potential buyers can appreciate the vehicle and relish in the rarity of its condition and miles. This 1977 Ford Thunderbird was purchased brand new on Febuary 14th, 1977 from Midway Ford in St. Paul Minnesota. The original Purchase Agreement and Billing Invoice highlights the following options it came with: 351 Engine($92), Factory Air Conditioning($521), Tinted Glass($61), AM/FM Radio + Tape deck($193), Wire Wheel Covers($99) and a few other options that I can't quite make out. The car was purchased brand new for $6,486.56 including vehicle option, sales tax and license fees. This beauty has graced the road with her presence for ONLY 1,924.9 miles. The condition of the vehicle hasn't changed since 1977 with the exception of a small crack in right part of the windshield. If you ask me to describe the condition of the vehicle, SHOWROOM condition is all that is necessary to say. It is that nice. This is one of the cleanest and most original, if not the cleanest, 1977 Ford Thunderbirds you will ever have the opportunity to purchase. The 351 engine starts and runs beautifully. The transmission shifts perfect. Everything works perfect. Everything is completely original and rust free. The undercarriage, trunk, interior, and engine bay are absolutely excpetional and indicate actual miles. This is so original it still has it's original tires. All supporting documentation include: The Original Purchase Agreement and Billing Invoice from Midway Ford, Original Ten Day Temporary Permit, Original 1977 Thunderbird Sales Brochure, and the even the Original Title. THIS IS A ONE OF A KIND CAR THAT I ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME VIEW AND DRIVE! PLEASE ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS! I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO SEND ADDITIONAL PHOTOS. It would be hard to find a nicer example, anywhere. You only come across the best of the best once in a while and these cars are only original once!
This is truly a fine example of a Classic Thunderbird. |

Ford fixing 130k vehicles in three recalls
Wed, Oct 28 2015Ford is issuing three new safety campaigns that cover a total of 130,801 vehicles in North America, but the company has no reports of accidents, injuries, or fires from any of these issues. The largest of these campaigns covers 128,823 examples of the 2009-2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX that are currently registered or originally sold in rust-prone areas of North America, including 110,636 in the US. On these crossovers, "corrosion under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" can potentially result in a fuel leak. To fix the issue, dealers will inspect the tank and will repair or replace it as necessary. The affected locations are: Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin; and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec. Ford is also recalling 1,906 North American examples of the 2016 Mustang, including 1,900 in the US, because of possible damage to some components during shipping to the factory. On the affected pony cars, "dealers will replace front and rear seat belt assemblies, rear seat buckle assemblies, and child tethers," the company says in its statement. Finally, the smallest campaign is for 72 units of the 2016 Ford E-Series cutaway and chassis cab in North America, including 65 in the US. On these, the trailer brakes don't activate when pressing the brake pedal, and dealers need to update the powertrain control module software.

Social media star Scott Monty leaves Ford
Thu, 22 May 2014It seems weird to think that an automaker could have a social media star, but Ford does. Or at least it did. Scott Monty, its Global Digital Communications Manager, led the company's team for almost six years and forged a reputation as being one of the most talented people in corporate social media. But the guru recently announced that he would be leaving the automaker for an undisclosed job elsewhere.
"I just decided the time was right. I am going to take a little time with my family, and I am going to start on a new adventure pretty soon," said Monty in an interview with AdWeek. He also explained a little about his theory of how companies should use social media. In his opinion, it should be a chance to go beyond standard marketing and build a relationship with people. Businesses need to have a broad focus for its online message, and using just one service isn't enough to be successful.
Under his guidance, Ford expanded its Facebook presence significantly. According to AdWeek, it launched the 2010 Explorer on the popular site. Also, when the company wanted to investigate selling electric models, it initially gauged the public's reaction on Facebook and then advertised them there first. Monty has been a major supporter of Twitter as well to broaden the company's communication with the public.
Ford pulls official support from top-level NHRA teams
Sun, 11 Aug 2013As the smallest team in the sport, it wasn't really a surprise when Dodge decided to pull out of NASCAR, but Autoweek is reporting that Ford is looking to pull the plug on its professional-level NHRA sponsorships following the 2014 season. With attendance and television ratings down, the article reports that Ford is just backing out of the top series but will remain active in the Sportsman classes of racing, which are geared more toward the grassroots and semi-professional racers.
This means that one of drag racing's biggest names, John Force, will be left looking for new sponsorship after next season. Force, 64, has been with Ford for 17 years, winning 15 championships in that time and winning almost half of all Funny Car events in his Mustang since he started working with Ford in 1997, but after 2014, there could be some big shakeups at John Force Racing.
According to the report, Force would consider is moving over to the Top Fuel dragster series, although he could also move to another manufacturer to remain in the Funny Car series. With Ford on the way out, this leaves just Toyota and Dodge as the remaining active automakers in the highest levels of drag racing.
