I have a gorgeous, one of a kind, custom painted 1960 Ford Thunderbird. It is a tribute to the custom scalloping that Larry Watson was doing in the late 1950's in Los Angeles. This is a real stand out car and literally blows people away. You pretty much won't see another one like it.. The scalloping is done in a gorgeous Tangerine metallic with a hand painted green pin striping to set it off, WOW!

The car has some cool factory features like working power windows, seat & clock. It also has power steering and brakes and she drives effortlessly down the road like a new one. It has 85K original miles on the original 352V8 Auto, rated from the factory @ 300 H.P. They are a very powerful car if you have not ever driven one.

Here is a list of the things done to her:

- New harmonic balancer
- New fuel pump with vacuum assist
- New timing chain (changed just because the timing cover was off to replace seal)
- New points, condenser, rotor button, distributor cap and wires (*)
- New double platinum spark plugs
- New Holley carburetor
- Rebuilt power steering cylinder
- New water pump
- New fan belts
- New valve seals
- Road draft tube converted to PCV system
- New headlight and high beam switches
- New bulbs and lamps throughout entire car
- New modern stereo with iPod jack, (4) speakers and remote
- New door lock cylinders with keys
- New coolant hoses
- New heater core and valve
- New exhaust with factory type mufflers
- Lots of other new miscellaneous items like new chrome bumpers, trim, etc.
- Custom paint and pin striping by Jerry's House of Color in Ohio
- Lowered springs in the front
- 3 inch lowering blocks in the rear
- New chrome smoothie wheels
- 85,000 +/- original miles

The car is not 100% perfect as the work was done a few years ago, and now has some paint chips here and there and a tear on the passenger seat base, but all very minor things. Overall she is a really nice looking and driving car that will set you way apart at your next meet.

Here is a video of the car. Just click this link: http://s416.photobucket.com/user/kfelsman/media/2014-05-13_09-51-22_307_zps47a20715.mp4.html

Ford sticking with manuals for RS models

Wed, Feb 4 2015

Traditional stick-shift gearboxes may be losing ground quickly to dual-clutch transmissions, but Ford knows what hot hatch enthusiasts want. That's why it's sticking with manual transmissions on its RS models for the foreseeable future. The Blue Oval automaker caught our attention yesterday when it revealed the new Focus RS, packing an upgraded version of the turbo four from the Mustang, a trick new all-wheel-drive system and an old-school six-speed manual. After speaking to Ford's product chief Raj Nair at the hot hatch's launch, Autocar reports that the six-speed is here to stay. "All our current research says that customers really like these kinds of cars to have a manual gearbox," Nair told the British publication. "We'll keep looking at market trends, and of course we'll give customers what they want, but for now the manual stays." Autocar further suggests that the same principle will apply to any further Rallye Sport models, so if and when a Fiesta RS rolls around, it's likely it will stick with a stick as well. Although the less potent Focus ST is offered in diesel and wagon forms overseas, wherever it's sold and in whatever form, the six-speed stays a constant in that model as well, just as it does in the smaller Fiesta ST. That doesn't mean that other Ford Performance models won't go without a clutch pedal, though. The new GT employs a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and the new F-150 Raptor channels its muscle through a ten-speed automatic. But as far as Ford's hot hatches go, it looks like the manual will remain alive and well.

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
