HISTORY:
This clear title, turn-key T-Bird was manufactured in Windsor, Canada and purchased by Will Murray a car collector of over 25 vehicles in Spokane, WA.  The T-Bird was kept in a climate controlled warehouse and meticulously maintained and used as a daily driver.  He later transitioned to driving the T-Bird only to car shows local to the Washington area.  Before I purchased I asked the owner, Will Murray, to send me a brief history of the car, this is the info he emailed me:

"This Thunderbird was built in Canada and sold to a woman near Calgary, Alberta in 1988.  It was her car.  They had a luxury home on the Spokane River outlet from Coeur d'Alene Lake, above the Post Falls dam. (The river is backed up here to provide boat access to Lake Coeur d'Alene. I found the Thunderbord on Auto trader classics when it was advertised as a "rare thunderbird Sport model with 5.0 V8 and extremely low mileage." I followed up to take a look at the car.  It was in their garage with a cover on it. I test drove it, it performed great and drove it to Spokane the same day." The car is beautiful inside and out, with approximately 40,000 miles since new, (60,000 km), It looks and drives out like a nearly new car.  I have had the car to several car shows.  One of which it took first place for the Thundrbird division.  At age 75, I have decided to reduce my car collection and get out of my warehouse lease next year."
 
All guages, odometers and  lights function. This T-Bird drives very smooth with an air suspension type feel, smooth yet powerful acceleration with great handling.  
A blast from the past this multiple show winning T-Bird is a piece of Ford and NASCAR racing history (google search: 1988 thunderbird racing) and truly holds its own as a respectable classic and daily driver, the best of both worlds! 
Almost impossible to find a 1988 Ford T-Bird Sports Coupe with low miles in this condition! My goal is to provide as much information as I can about the car.  I have sold several top-notch classics on ebay and the caliber and quality of this classic holds its own and sure to make another very satisfied buyer!

2015 Ford F-150 [w/videos]

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

To learn more about the all-new 2015 F-150 and get an early read on its potential hero-or-zero status, we flew to the heart of full-size pickup truck country, San Antonio, TX, to spend a day driving, towing and playing in the mud with an assortment of Ford's innovative new trucks.
First, a caveat - while we feel we have a reasonably good handle on the new F-150 after attending this first-drive event, we are far from ready to pass definitive judgment on the success of this radically new rig. Our time in the various models was lamentably limited and we felt rushed. With so much at stake and with so much to talk about and experience, we had zero alone time with the vehicle - there were Ford folks shadowing us at every moment.
And we still don't know everything there is to know about the trucks, as Ford is withholding some of its most crucial numbers, including curb weight data and anticipated EPA fuel economy figures. We don't even have a firm on-sale date. All of this information is typically disclosed - or at least officially estimated - at the time of a new vehicle's first drive. This limits the scope of the judgments we feel comfortable making based on our first encounter.
