2002 Ford Thunderbird Inspiration Yellow with Yellow and Black Leather Seats. Removable Yellow Hardtop Black
Softtop. All other options as far as I know.
Selling Grandma's Thunderbird. It was the first Thunderbird sold in Indiana. Grandpa worked for Ford they also
bought the first Thunderbird in 1955. When she bought this one in 2002 the Indianapolis Star wrote up an article
about her buying both the first Thunderbirds that article is included with the sale. She actually paid $10,000
over the sticker price just so she could have the first one. I have the tag showing that. I'm 99% sure she paid
the total price almost two years before it was delivered.
The car has 15,556 miles as of today. It is in great shape. No dents that I can see. Never been wrecked. (edit
now I found out she did bump another lil old lady in 2008. There was apparently no damage though) There is one
scratch about an inch right above the license plate holder you can see in the pictures. Pretty sure that the
movers pushed the hardtop stand up into it when they were emptying her house and scratched it. Other than that I
can see nothing wrong with it. Always maintained by Don Hinds Ford the dealership she bought it from. They even
came out to her house and took the hardtop off and put it on the stand. In the last couple months it had the fuel
pump replaced for $1000 also a new battery. Runs and drives great. No mechanical problems that I know of.
Has the yellow hardtop, black soft top. The rolling storage stand for the hardtop also a soft cover for when the
soft top is down. It snaps in place I think.
Extras included Thunderbird book, diecast model car, various articles, original windshield sticker, photos, and
some other paperwork. She really loved this car. She kept all the info and paperwork the dealership gave her. I
would guess these will become collector cars in the near future, and someday all this paperwork should add to the
value.
With the low miles the car was rarely driven. She had two other cars she drove while keeping this for special
occasions. Never out in the snow or rain. I doubt this car ever went more the 20 miles from her house or above
50mph. Always filled up with the premium gas from the Shell by her house. Now she lives in a retirement home and
isn't able to drive. I know everyone tells the one owner lil old lady story, but in this instance I assure you it
is true.
Feel free to ask any questions. Car is currently in my garage. If you would like to view it I will do my best to
meet up with you. If it's shipped I will be happy to meet with the shippers and help if needed. I will be out of
town Friday & Saturday May 20-21 at a car show.

Ford pranks unsuspecting blind dates with Mustang GT and stunt driver

Thu, Feb 12 2015

There's 'speed dating,' that ludicrous get-to-know-you ritual devised by The Inquisition of Mating, and then there's 'dating at ludicrous speed,' which is a better description of what Ford has done in this latest video for the 2015 Mustang GT for your Valentine's Day enjoyment. The Blue Oval used a professional stunt driver to hook six guys into going on a little car trip, but the setup is the key – she pretends she's not that good at driving, until she's really good at it. You can check it out above. Kudos to the guy who goes from "You might want to shift again" to "That's what I'm talking about!" without any question. And the ninja.

Ford Focus 1.0-liter Ecoboost to only get manual trans in US

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

Photos of the 2015 Ford Focus leaked earlier today, but now we're able to tell you more details of the global five-door hatchback. Bucking automaker's troubling trend of ditching manual transmissions in favor of automatics, Ford says the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine will come only in a six-speed manual in the US, because, well, American drivers aren't as sophisticated as our European brothers and sisters.
Ford didn't come out and say it that way, but it has found American drivers are more prone to complain about automatics in smaller-engine cars, Raj Nair, Ford's group vice president of global product development, said at a press conference last week. The recent JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study backs up Ford's claims, pointing out that drivers are complaining about rough transmission shifts, engine hesitation and lack of power, particularly in small cars. In Europe and other parts of the world, drivers seem to understand the quirks of these pint-sized engines, Nair said, so they'll have the option to buy an automatic. Ford is working on tuning its dual-clutch transmissions to make them more amenable to American driver's tastes.
Ford will show off the refreshed 2015 Focus at the Geneva Motor Show in early March. The car is due for an update, having been on sale in its current form since 2012. The automaker said it is jamming the car full of new technology - like a USB port that promises to charge your phone in half the time as a regular USB port. Features like Sync and a rear back-up camera will come standard. For a more in-depth look at the car, take a look at the full press release.

1969 Ford GT40 Mk III found roaming the halls in Geneva

Wed, Mar 4 2015

The halls of the 2015 Geneva Motor Show are filled with all manner of exotic racing machinery, from the likes Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus to McLaren. But there's one peculiar bit of history tucked away that we thought you'd be equally interested to see: a 1969 Ford GT40 Mk III. One of only seven known to be built, this Mk III coupe was intended as a road-going alternative to earlier racing-bred GT40 models, like the original Mk I and 427-cubic-inch, Le Mans-dominating Mk II. Due to its street-legal intentions, the Ford GT40 Mk III boasted revised bodywork that allowed for some luggage and new headlights, along with a redesigned interior with left-hand-drive and a shifter in the normal, center position. The Mk III wasn't very popular when it was new in the 1960s, in part because it looked different from other GT40 models and because it was pretty expensive, but that just means it's an awfully rare gem today. Take a look at the piece of history in our high-res image gallery above.
