Here up for auction is my pride and joy 1960 Ford Thunderbird. The car runs and drives great. I drive it everyday to work and home. The car has all new brake lines, hard and soft, brand new NAPA master cyl. 4 new wheel cyl. And all new shoes. A new fuel tank and lines to the front, with new pump and rebuilt carb. The front tires are new Pirelli 15" tires with VERY NICE 57' CADILLAC HUBCAPS!!! The rear tires are new as well they are just stock 14" with out hubcaps. The engine got a basic tune up all new rubber hoses and belts, new thermostat and GM style one wire chrome high output alt. The engine runs very well but is over 50 years old and has a couple of gasket leaks and the flywheel makes a noise in the bell housing at very low RPM(when you service these old trannys with newer parts sometimes there are clearance issues i belive the inside of the bell housing needs ground down in one spot). The interior is very nice having all new head liner, dash cover, carpet(full dynomatted floor under carpet),and a very nice Alpine Bluetooth stereo that connects to iPhones. All gauges including speedo, temp, and fuel level are in working order. The front and rear seats are not recovered but are in descent shape(when recovered they will need new foam). All interior garnish moldings have been rechromed exe. visors. But interior is 100%. There is a crack in the drivers door glass. The out side of the car is all body worked and lined up with shave door handles, trunk lock cyl, and rounded front hood corners and is in a grey primer with guide coat. I have all trim parts including hood scoop and headlight rings and many, many other parts including extra front and rear seats, two extra bumpers in really good shape, and a very large bin full of any kind of trim part you can think of + many more parts hanging on the wall. Winner can take it all or pick through whatever they want. I was going to paint the car Firemist Gold like the engine bay and paint can go with vehicle if you like. The car is very fun to drive. And you get a lot of attention just driving around. The car is located in Grand Junction Co. I personally would drive this car anywhere(checking fluids regularly and keeping a close eye on the gauges) but I am the type of person that likes driving old stuff. The old style brakes and a lot of bump steer in the old school steering does not make it easy to highway drive, but cruises nice at 70. This is a nice car that I hate to get rid of but the times require sale. My lose your gain!! Please feel free to call me with any further questions. Rich(772)485-3053. This car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction at any time. Thanks. Good luck.

Ford demonstrates Mustang's new Line Lock burnout feature
Tue, 22 Apr 2014Been saving your pennies for a 2015 Ford Mustang? Put in a few extra shifts or some overtime? Got a great down payment ready? Well, however much you saved for your new pony car, start saving more - you'll need the extra money to spend on tires.
That's because the Mustang will come with a system called Line Lock, which can lock the front brakes electronically, allowing drivers to perform big, dumb, smoky burnouts without moving so much as an inch. It's sort of like launch control, only the average driver might actually use it.
Now, line locks aren't uncommon, particularly in drag racing. Usually, a flip of the switch locks the front brakes. The Mustang, besides offering the system from the factory which is unique in and of itself, looks a bit more involved.
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.
