1960 Ford Thunderbird for Sale. Ford's introduction of the Thunderbird in 1955 as a competitor to Chevy's newly released Corvette that was a success. Like the Corvette, a popular two seater sports car designed to capture the young American Buyer. That all changed drastically in 1958 when Ford attempted to redefine what constituted a sports car. Ford realized the need for a car with sports car appeal but with room for four. In 1958, this radical change was met with mixed feelings and a belief existed that Ford had missed the market. Over the next two years, Ford continued with modifications and by 1960, the car known by many as "Box Birds" was well established. Sporty styling with sculptured lines, bucket seats, console, and a rear seat that simulated two more bucket seats in appearance but allowed room with seating for three. Still striving for the youth in their marketing program but also accommodating young families with room for the kids in the back or perhaps room to take parents or in-laws out to dinner. Here's a wonderful example of such a car. Finished in an antique white with a color coordinated and complimenting red and white interior. Powered by Ford's 352 CI V8 and mated to a smooth shifting automatic transmission, power steering and factory air conditioning. Moving to the interior you will notice power windows, power driver's seat, and an aftermarket AM/FM stereo to provide those great cruising sounds. The exterior is complimented by high gloss chrome and bright work adding to the car's appeal. The car rolls on a set of factory steel wheels with full wheel discs carrying Coker Classic wide white wall radials in 225/75R 14. Thunderbirds are extremely popular with car enthusiasts from around the world! Whether it's the first Tri-Five, Little Birds, or the Box Birds as you see here, or later models, they are great cruisers and a definite collectible. Ford enthusiasts, here's a great example of a second generation Thunderbird that is ready to cruise and enjoy! THIS AUCTION CAN BE ENDED EARLY!!

Watch how a Ford Raptor rolls down the assembly line in Dearborn

Sun, 30 Mar 2014

Bloomberg TV reporter Matt Miller is the proud new owner of a pretty killer truck. How do we know? The reporter headed to Dearborn, MI to Ford's assembly plant, with a film crew in tow, to see exactly how his new F-150 SVT Raptor and its mother-loving 6.2-liter V8 engine, was screwed together.
The resulting video does an excellent job of summing up how an assemblage of parts and pieces is turned into a triple-black Raptor, thanks to the work of some 1,000 employees and about 20 hours of real time. Click through below to see how the truck is born, with a surprise cameo playing the part of delivery driver at the end.

Ford, GM still doing new business with Takata amidst airbag crisis

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. You might expect automakers to be fleeing any connection with beleaguered supplier Takata in the wake of the company's exploding airbag inflator crisis. After all, with a Senate hearing, pending lawsuit, plummeting stock value and demand for a national recall, the tier-one supplier isn't at its strongest right now. However, years of cooperation mean that automakers are standing by Takata, and necessity may be playing a role, as well. About 39 percent of Takata's business comes from airbags, and seatbelts make up another significant chunk of the operation too, says Bloomberg. The long-term relationships and lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. "Takata has so much product breadth that I don't really see that they could just disappear," said AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan to Bloomberg. For example, Takata helped develop the unique front center airbag with General Motors in models like the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Outside of safety tech, it is also a partner with Ford on the adaptive steering system available on the upcoming 2015 Edge. These long-lasting partnerships make change difficult now that there's a problem. According to Reuters, automakers claim it would take a year or longer to set up with a different supplier for replacement airbag inflators. Switching to a completely different part for the repairs might not be a viable option either, because of the engineering time needed. BMW is taking action, though. According to Reuters, the Bavarian brand is working with the supplier to move inflator production from Monclova, Mexico, to a Takata factory in Freiburg, Germany. The Mexican plant may be the source of some of the faulty parts. News Source: Bloomberg, ReutersImage Credit: Jens Meyer / AP Photo BMW Ford GM Safety Takata airbag recall

Ford reveals all-new Everest SUV at Asia-Pacific forum [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

While the Explorer may have shifted from a truck-based sport-ute to a car-based crossover, Ford still offers buyers on the other side of the Pacific a Ranger-based SUV in the form of the Everest. And at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Beijing today, the Blue Oval revealed the all-new version you see here.
Previewed in concept form over a year ago and made specifically for the Asia-Pacific market, the new Ford Everest is designed to be more refined on the road and more capable off of it. Like the Explorer once was, the new Everest is based on a stretched version of the overseas Ford Ranger pickup. Depending on the specific market, Ford will offer the new Everest with a range of engines including a 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo four and two Duratorq turbodiesels - a 2.2-liter four and a 3.2-liter inline-five - mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Earmarked to take on the likes of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (known in these parts as the Lexus GX) and the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the new Everest promises rock-crawlers even better off-road capabilities. It's got nearly nine inches of ground clearance, over 30 inches of wading depth, a 29-degree approach and 25-degree departure angles and a set of features including on-the-fly adjustable four-wheel drive.
