The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

I am selling my 1971 Ford Thunderbird. The interior is very nice and decent. New carburetor, new gaskets, new power steering pump, new power steering box and new power steering line have been installed. I will include copies of the the service receipts. Tires are new with race car wheels but I also have the original wheels for the T-Bird. The car will need a steering column which I never installed because it is a little noisy when making a full left u-turn only but it is not something that happens too often. Vehicle starts up and drives wonderfully and has some minor cosmetic defects as shown in the images. There is a rust spot on the right passenger side and a couple of minor tears in the front seat but relatively small. The back seat is in great condition and the overall body is in great condition. The door panels on both the left and right passenger side are incomplete but that's all that's left. Power windows do work. Everything is kept original including the original radio. The original T-Bird floor mats are still on the floor.

I will include the original Ford operation manuals and the original owners manual. I will also include the original T-Bird hub caps and the car cover specifically made for the T-Bird. The dash has no cracks and I will include the dash cover which protects the dash from UV exposure to prevent cracks.

Car is for sale locally and will be removed if sold. If the reserve price has been met then I will not remove the listing from Ebay. The local asking price is $4500.00 however the reserve price is less than that.

In fairness to all bidders I will not disclose the reserve. I have added a buy it now since I know I will get requests but the reserve is lower than that. Car is for sale as is where is. I have done my best to describe it but please understand that it is 42 years old and not perfect. Car is available for inspection by appointment. Bidders with less than 10 feedback's must contact me before bidding or I will cancel your bid. $500 deposit due within 48 hours of auction end, full payment within 7 days of auction end. Payment by cash, wire transfer or cashier’s check. All cashier’s checks must clear before car or title will be released. Car must be picked up within 21 days of auction end unless prior arrangements are made. International bidders are welcome but shipping from car’s current location is responsibility of buyer.

Ford car-camo artist works his craft on Australia's new Falcon XR8

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Ford is among the kings of concealment when it comes to test cars. On one recent Mustang SVT mule, the automaker went to the extreme of putting baffles over the exhausts to hide how many there were. Sounds like a lot of work, right? In a new video, the Blue Oval has decided to take fans behind the scenes to show them what it takes to camouflage a prototype. In this case the subject was the recently unveiled 2014 Falcon XR8 for Australia.
Ford's prototype build coordinator Down Under has the very appropriate name of Neil Trickey, and it's his job to obfuscate the important bits of test cars to keep them out of spy shooters' camera lenses. Trickey calls his job a "dark art," and he shows off some of the tricks of his trade in the video. It turns out that the fabric we often see on mules is a type of lycra, but his team isn't above getting out a can of spray paint to conceal parts, too.
Scroll down to watch a video about a man who you probably wish could be a little worse at his job.

Ken Block's 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR and CR Supercars Villain are retro done right

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Gymkhana king Ken Block has had a pretty simple car history in his trademark videos, starting out with Subaru Impreza rally cars before moving into Ford Focus racers for the past four installments. His next video, though, Gymkhana Seven, kind of goes back in time.
Rather than the cutting-edge rally racers of past videos, Block will pilot a heavily modified 1965 Ford Mustang, called the Hoonicorn. How heavily modified is it? Well, Block's Hooligan Racing Division, ASD Motorsports and Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s RTR, spent two years working on it, ditching the standard engine and rear-wheel-drive layout and replacing it with a 410-cubic-inch Roush Yates V8. Yes, that's a NASCAR engine, and it produces 845 horsepower.
A NASCAR-powered Mustang would be news in itself, but it's the other powertrain changes made by Block and Co. that really makes headlines. Power is channeled through a one-off Sadev transmission and all-wheel-drive system, meaning that Block has basically married a NASCAR stock car with a WRC racer. ASD also developed the customized suspension, tubular chassis and roll cage. The wide Mustang body is the work of RTR and Block's own Hoonigan Racing Division, while the 18-inch fifteen52 wheels are shod in Pirelli Trofeo R tires that use a specialized compound exclusive to Block.

2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.
