1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbocoupe. The chassis has 137,xxx miles but I am driving it daily so that is changing about 50 miles a day. The tires are about 90% on the front and 50% on the rear. The body is rust free. It was a Florida car. The following is a list of the upgrades.

2.5liter Crank

Crower 5.5 rods

Diamond pistons with Total Seal rings

Ported head with Ferrea vavles, conical springs, Hydraulic roller cam by Crane, custom

Custom Stainless tubular header

Custom 3" exhaust sytem

Tial 38 MM wastegate with boost controller

Custom Holset HE351 Turbo

Ported intake/gutted upper rotated w/70mm Throttle body

NPR Large front mount intercooler, aluminum radiator and dual fans

86' SVO front accessory brackets and 130 amp alternator.

World Class T5 transmission with HD internal upgrades/Hurst short throw shifter

Spec Aluminum flywheel and stage 2.5 clutch assembly

Repainted Black, original color. I would give it a 7.5 out of 10. One small ding on the driver's fender, hard to see. No body damage or dents.

Tinted windows

Alpine stereo, 2 amps, 10" subwoofer, floors and doors dynamatted

Fox Body Brake conversion with Rear disc conversion from a Lincoln

17x9 rear wheels and 17x8 front rims

A/C system replaced 2 years ago, blows ice cold

Heater core replaced last year

Rack and pinion and ball joints replaced last year.

The engine build has about 3500 miles on it and is very strong and sound.

The items that I think need some TLC

The rear package tray need replaced. I am posing a photo. The driver's seat has a small hole. There is an oil leak around the oil level sensor. It is not bad, just irritating to see an oil spot about the size of a dime after it sits for a few days. There is a minor exhaust leak near the muffler. It is not loud or offensive but I know it is there. The horn button needs to be repaired. I fixed it once on the back with hot glue but it could be better.

I drive this car regularly and I would feel very comfortable driving it anywhere.

New Ford dedicated hybrid due in 2018, will it fare better than C-Max?

Fri, Aug 22 2014

Everyone likes to go after the champ. When it comes to fuel economy, that means taking on the Prius, which is something that automakers not named Toyota have been trying to do for years. Just because no one has been able to beat the Prius for fuel economy numbers isn't stopping them from trying. Hyundai was just caught with a potential Prius-fighter and now we have news that Ford is joining the party. Well, is going to join again. The last time Ford said it was going to challenge the Prius, it didn't go quite as planned. The C-Max hybrid was heavily hyped as a Prius-beater and was originally rated at 47 miles per gallon. Of course, it later needed to be recalculated to just 40 mpg and sales tanked. So, it's back to the Blue Oval drawing board, according to Automotive News, which is reporting that Ford is readying a brand new gas-electric hybrid due in 2018 as a 2019 model year vehicle. A plug-in version is in the works, too, and the car will reportedly share a platform with the upcoming next-gen Focus and Escape models. About those C-Max sales. They have not been stellar for the C-Max hybrid, which started strong but suffered when the reality of the lower fuel economy was realized. So far in 2014 (through the end of July), Ford has sold 11,685 gas-electric models and another 4,759 plug-in Energi versions. The trend for the standard C-Max is downward (from 20,125 during the same time frame in 2013) and upward for the plug-in version (2,915 in the first seven months of 2013).

Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
