Car is in good condition overall. Paint is glossy but has a few scratches and sags. Glass and convertible soft top are good. Car is solid and runs well. 312 cubic inch y-block with four-barrel carburetor produces 218 hp in stock form. Three speed manual transmission shifts properly and electric overdrive unit functions as it should. First gear is not synchronized. The car must be brought to a complete stop before shifting into first. This is not a problem driving the car, as the engine is a torque monster and accelerates from idle in second gear smoothly. Car is equipped with Coker Classic wide-whitewall radials ($615.36, May '05). Less than 1,000 miles on them and no sign of dry rot. 15" chrome wire wheels with Thunderbird lettering and logo on spinners (we can't find that receipt, but believe the purchase price for four wheels was around $1,200). Bias-ply tires and factory steel wheels and full wheel covers included in sale. Trim plate on firewall shows: 40A E XA 18EL1824
Parts replaced or repaired since 2001 purchase, in addition to remedial body work;
water pump, thermostat, battery, cleaned fuel tank, wiring harness (main dash, across front, heater blower), heater temperature valve, blower motor, transmission overhaul (gasket set, pinion seal, transmission bearings and oil seals), clutch disk and pressure plate, radiator and radiator cradle, correct mechanical fuel pump, front springs and shocks, a-frame bushings, and much more. All receipts since 1994 included, plus factory shop manual and various catalogs.
Car is well sorted out, has been well cared for, and has had serious mechanical and cosmetic upgrades over the past 12 years while accumulating less than 1,500 additional miles. 50,012.8 currently showing on odometer. Took her out for her first spin this Spring and she's running just fine. We drive the car only enough to keep everything working properly and to attend a few very local shows.
We have over $38,000 in the car to date. Reserve is considerably lower. Car is available for inspection and test drive prior to auction end.

Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford
Thu, 16 Oct 2014The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.
Evo grabs Ford's Fiesta R5 rally car by the scruff
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Evo and host Henry Catchpole were thinking of excuses reasons to borrow the bonkers Ford Fiesta R5 rally car for a day or two, when it struck them: the car is street legal. With access to the R5, some of the world's most beautiful driving roads in the English Lake Country nearby, and a handy video crewing hanging around, the plan seemed to write itself.
Based on the resulting video, it was a good plan. Without spoiling the video for you - something we can't really do in text as the best part is listening to the rally car run - Catchpole finds the Fiesta to be sublimely quick and massively satisfying. Even taking the car for a spin on a pseudo rally stage, after leaving the English countryside, does nothing but add to his assessment of the beastly little Ford. Scroll on below to see for yourself, and enjoy the ride.
