IS PROUD TO PRESENT... A PARTIALLY RESTORED AND VERY SOLID 10TH ANNIVERSARY 1965 THUNDERBIRD CONVERTIBLE! Want a super cool V8 convertible that’s ready to cruise this summer? How about one with some of the best vintage styling ever draped over two doors and four tires? If the answer is a resounding “YES”, this 1965 Ford Thunderbird is exactly the car you’ve been searching for! With the original Thunderbird 390 V8 and automatic transmission, this car is the perfect classic for anyone who enjoys getting fresh air and exploring the open road. If you’re looking to add a little spice to your weekend routine, here’s the perfect way to take Sunday drives to a whole new level! Solid and straight, this T-bird’s lust-inducing body reflects a picturesque coat of glossy Burgundy paint over black interior that creates a rich and classy demeanor. From its glossy shine to its chip-free rocker panels, the paint’s deep finish is nice enough to be the star at any local cruise night, and certainly nicer than the car’s original, factory-applied Honey Yellow. Naturally, a star of that caliber requires top notch panel fit; and it appears the folks who bolted this Ford together spent a lot of time making sure its laser straight body maintained excellent cohesion. And overall, the car is a stunning tribute to one of the coolest designs to ever fly out of Dearborn, Michigan 50 years ago this September! The Thunderbird was Ford’s response to
Chevrolet’s crude Corvette. And when introduced in 1955, it outsold
Chevy’s unrefined halo by 24 to 1. Part of the reason for that big
success was the car’s versatile mix of American substance and European
aesthetics. Tilt this Ford’s mile long hood
up and you’ll find the original 390 cubic inch Thunderbird V8 that’s dressed to impress. Nice enough to show but still fully
drivable, this is the perfect compromise for enthusiasts who like to
display their car and still enjoy the occasional top-down weekend. Behind the aforementioned 390, a stalwart automatic Cruise-O-Matic transmission sends power to the original factory 3.00 to 1 ratio rear end. The car’s suspension remains in its original configuration with control arms up front and leafs out back. All of the chassis’ s front end safety parts were replaced and a new dual exhaust ensures the integrity and sound that a true "Big Block Bird" is known for. Power front disc braking is quick and adequate thanks to fresh hardware occupying all for corners of the suspension. And on the outside of those new brakes, 4 new radial whitewall tires surround classy chrome hub caps, slightly hidden behind a set of famous Ford Thunderbird skirts. Burgundy paint is legendary for its characteristically 60's feel. And when paired with this Thunderbird’s correct Black interior, it creates the perfect culmination of style and sophistication. While appearing original, its interior is still in good condition and as such, livable for years to come. There’s relatively new carpet throughout that features clean loops. Front and center, a translucent speedometer, "bubble gauges, and cool original radio look great inside a stainless-trimmed and Thunderbird-branded dash. In front of the driver, a Thunderbird "slide-away" steering wheel, complete with rim around a chrome, Thunderbird-branded center ring. Between the bucket seats sports a chrome laden console that accents the "cockpit" perfectly. At the sides of the passengers, scuff-free door panels center perfectly placed armrests below engine-turned trim. And behind the car’s retracted top, a fully restored trunk hangs an old school jack between a new mat and correct deck lid decal. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Ford guy, Mopar guy or Chevy guy, this impressive Thunderbird is one of those cool cars that transcends barriers and has universal appeal. The car’s great looks, great performance, and great color combo all add up to an exceptional classic that can be driven and enjoyed every day of the summer. Indulge as is, or tinker with it to make it sharper, either way you’ll have a high value cruiser that has unmatched curb appeal and the muscle to back up its good looks.

Ford and GM link bonus checks to quality scores
Tue, 29 Apr 2014The poor first quarter earnings of Ford and General Motors are having an effect all the way up the food chain. Both automakers struggled with recalls in the first three months of the year, and, according to The Detroit News, they have responded by increasing the percentage of bonuses tied to vehicle quality for salaried workers, including top executives.
GM announced that 25 percent of bonuses (up from 10 percent) for all salaried workers would be tied to its vehicle quality standards. The automaker revealed in its financial report that it spent $1.3 billion on recall-related repairs in the first quarter, and net income was down 86 percent.
Ford also increased the quality proportion of bonuses for about 26,000 salaried workers all the way up to CEO Alan Mulally from 10 percent to 20 percent. The company announced in its report that the amount paid out in warranty and recall claims was about $400 million higher than expected in the first quarter. Its net income fell 39 percent from the previous year. "The change reflects how critical quality is to our overall business," said spokesperson Todd Nissen speaking to Autoblog.
Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.
