This is a No RESERVE AUCTION for a 1964 thunderbird convertible with a 390 fe big block engine built by BCI- barnett racing- here in atl ga back when they were building engines for walk in customers. I had it on an engine stand all this time and installed it 6 months ago. logged 2k on it so far, just leisurely driving around town. Vehicle starts and runs great but still needs a few more items to be perfect..higher stall converter 2800+(it has the factory stall 1800-2000), the engine has a rather aggressive cam with a racy idle{comp cam magnum 292h)The aggressive cam causes the air pressure to the brake booster to remain low ( 10-12psi, 15+ is ideal) and therefore it takes slightly more effort to press brake pedal. I planned to install a hydroboost brake system. New tires, new (in box) disc brake conversion kit purchased from thunderbird ranch, new shifter for steering column - the swing away steering column will not stay '' locked' in park for long periods because the old shifter is worn refurbished motors for the driver & pass windows, books,schematics, fender skirts, New Dual core aluminum radiator by American eagle, New 12 inch electric front mount fan for aluminum radiator, New power master 'master torque starter' part -9606 New power master chrome alternator ' signature series'' 140 amps part# 8-37140 900 cold cranking amp heavy duty battery New holly mechanical fuel pump and fuel regulator New edlebrock 4 barrel carb New main electric window switches . Convertible top isn't operational but can be manually folded into trunk. There are many spare parts in the trunk for windows, convertible top etc... Rust on the deck lid and hood can be repaired. Heat blows and all lights work. Fender mount turning signals need replacing. The turning signals in the rear and front of car work fine despite the inoperable fender mounted lights.

Ford reveals concept trucks that ultimately became Atlas

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

The Ford Atlas Concept was one of the quiet success stories of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and now Ford has given us a quick glimpse as to how that creation came to be. Designers actually combined two early sketches to build the Atlas. One, called the Bullet Train, is a futuristic, aerodynamic creation, while the other, aptly named the Locomotive, features the squared off proportions we're familiar with.
Once designers settled on the truck's proportions, they began nailing down exactly which attributes they wanted the final design to have. The Concept's notched windshield originated as a forked glass roof that seamlessly transitioned into the windscreen.
Likewise, designers wanted to fit the truck's tailgate with a storage compartment for tools and a first aid kit, but settled on the dual-purpose step/cargo cradle. Interestingly enough, the concept's active aero shutter wheels actually originated in some of the earliest sketches. Check out the photos and slides here for a closer look.

Ladies Love It: Ford Fiesta wins Womens World Car of the Year

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

It's official: A panel of female automotive writers has chosen the Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost as the Womens World Car of the Year, and it beat tough competition like the Mazda CX-5, Range Rover and Porsche Boxster S for the overall top spot.
The CX-5 and Range Rover won the SUV and Luxury Car categories, respectively, and the Boxster S laid claim to the Sports Car category, beating the runner up Audi RS5 and third place Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ (or Scion FR-S). The Audi Allroad was named the Family car of the year.
The panel consisted of 18 female automotive writers from around the world tasked with picking the best car in each of eight categories, including top vehicle overall, using criteria that women utilize when shopping for a car. That includes safety, value-for-money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child-friendliness, ease-of-driving, color, sex appeal and environmental footprint.

Ford opens research center in Silicon Valley

Fri, Jan 23 2015

These days, the software running a vehicle's myriad of electronic systems seems to be getting nearly as much development focus from automakers as the traditional mechanical parts that keep a car going. Constantly improving that technology requires a lot of experimentation, though, and Ford is expanding its presence in Silicon Valley with the just-opened Research and Innovation Center Palo Alto to make that progress possible. Ford opened its first office in the country's technological hub in 2012 to draw talent and devise ways to deal with vast amounts of sensor data. Apparently, setting up shop in Silicon Valley was deemed a success because the Blue Oval decided to create this new lab in the Stanford Research Park to focus on five areas: connectivity, mobility, autonomous vehicles, customer experience and analytics. Among the center's potential projects, Ford is hoping to develop better natural speech recognition, which is absolutely vital for improving infotainment systems. Assuming the tech eventually works well enough, your voice might even be used to adjust a vehicle's power seats, according to the automaker. The Blue Oval is also letting engineers from Stanford University test autonomous driving algorithms on a self-driving version of the Fusion. In a smaller stakes venture, researchers are working to get a Nest smart thermometer to automatically adjust the temperature at home depending on if an owner's vehicle is leaving or coming back. To really show that its serious about these ventures, Ford hired Dragos Maciuca away from Apple as the center's technical leader. The automaker also wants to have 125 researchers at work there by the end of the year.
