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!

Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a track-day weapon with 500 hp

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Ford promises more than 500 horsepower and a torque peak above 400 lb-ft.
The wait is finally over. After months of spy shots, rumor and innuendo, Ford has officially pulled the wraps off its new Shelby GT350. Judging by the spec sheet and the promises being made - especially that the Shelby GT350 will be "an all-day track car that's also street legal" - the wait appears to have been worth it.

2014 Ford F-150 gets CNG option

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

Ford is toiling away, installing heavy-duty engine components into select 3.7-liter V6s to allow them to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in addition to gasoline. That's nothing new, but now, Ford has announced that it will offer the 2014 F-150 with this engine configuration, bringing the Blue Oval's total number of CNG/LPG-friendly vehicles up to eight. The F-150 will be the only half-ton pickup on the market that can run on these gases.
Ford will charge $315 per vehicle to equip the optional engine, but the trucks won't be ready to run on the alternative fuels straight from the factory and must be upfitted with additional equipment. A Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier will install a separate fuel system for the compressed gases at a cost of $7,500 to $9,500, depending on fuel tank size. With the right-size tank, the F-150 equipped with the CNG/LPG-prepped engine can go 750 miles on one tank of gas, according to Ford, averaging 23 miles per gallon.
The practice of offering flex-fuel vehicles is gaining momentum as businesses take advantage of cheap gas. CNG can be bought for $2.11/gallon on average (per gasoline equivalent), and sometimes for as little as $1.00 in some parts of the US, Ford states. "With the money saved using CNG, customers could start to see payback on their investment in as little as 24 to 36 months," says Jon Coleman, Ford's fleet sustainability and technology manager. The automaker expects to sell a total of 15,000 CNG/LPG-prepped vehicles in the 2014 model year.
