Up for auction is a 1988 Thunderbird, the 1987-88 body-style being a favorite body-style of many Thunderbird enthusiasts. As we have all seen so many times on Ebay, I have too many projects and must let go of this one. It was not my decision that THIS is the thing I let go of to make room and time and money for aforementioned projects; my better half got to choose because I owed her so there you have it. My Thunderbird was originally white on a red interior and it is still white but I was going to go back into the interior with gray leather. The engine has been replaced with a rebuilt long block from ATK Rebuilt Engines and Transmission and the original transmission has been rebuilt by a local very reputable transmission shop. Also are new brake rotors, drums, pads and shoes, power steering pump, alternator, steering rack and tie-rod ends, wheel bearings, engine computer, new heater core, and air conditioning evaperator and conderser coils, and anything else I may have left forgotten, and all of these things have about 15,000 miles. This car is totally reliable and roadworthy and gets approximately 29 MPG on the freeway. The engine computer had to be replaced because it got wet and I am not sure how that happened but in the hands of the right restorer this should not be a problem. Probably a weatherstripping issue. Nothing else has been done to the car. It is now a perfectly mechanically sound canvas for the right restorer to paint and do the interior. Happy bidding. This is a no-reserve auction but it also is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Ford dealer loses Super Bowl bet, pays $300K to lucky customers [w/video]
Tue, 11 Feb 2014A Missouri Ford dealership's Super Bowl weekend sale cost it big when the improbable happened. Hutcheson Ford ran a promotion from January 29 to February 1, called the Super Weekend Sale. The gist was, if any customer purchased a vehicle between those dates and either the opening or second-half kickoff of the big game was returned for a touchdown, the dealership would refund the purchase price.
In the dealership's defense, it seemed like a safe bet. According to the mathematicians, there was just a 2.5-percent chance of either half opening with a touchdown return. But that didn't stop Seattle's Percy Harvin from doing his part to ruin Denver's evening, returning the second-half kick for an 87-yard touchdown run. Twelve Hutcheson customers were eligible for refunds thanks to the return, with prices ranging from $10,000 to $55,000, according to Automotive News. The total amount shelled out by the dealership? $300,000.
"At least we're not like that furniture guy that lost $7 million," dealership marketing manager Kathleen Frazier told AN. We think it was a big success." The dealership did take out insurance to cover its losses, meaning the $300K won't come entirely from its pockets.
Watch how a Ford Raptor rolls down the assembly line in Dearborn
Sun, 30 Mar 2014Bloomberg 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.
Mulally to stay at Ford through end of 2014 at least
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Alan Mulally isn't going anywhere... at least not just yet. The CEO who helped turn around Ford Motor Company has been linked to the top job at tech behemoth Microsoft, leading to a flurry of rumors about potential successors. Those rumors, though, may have just been put to rest - at least for a little while.
Speaking to Edsel Ford II (great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford) at the unveiling of the new Mustang, Automotive News Europe confirmed that Mulally would stick around until the end of next year. "Alan is staying through the end of 2014 and that's all I know," said Ford. "Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014."
Presuming that Edsel Ford is correct and that Microsoft isn't so hot on Mulally that it saves the position for him, it seems increasingly likely that the 68-year-old exec is more interested in continuing to work in Dearborn rather than in Redmond.
