Must See**1977 Ford Thunderbird**only 1,924 Actual Miles**absolutely Spectacular on 2040-cars
United States
1977 FORD THUNDERBIRD ONE OWNER 1,924 ACTUAL MILES NO RUST ALL ORIGINAL ABSOLUTELY STUNNING Before describing this car, it is important for me to note that it has NOT been cleaned up for pictures. How you see it in the pictures, is how it came out of the garage. The motor was NOT repainted and the motor was NOT shined up. I wanted to highlight the originality and its true condition so that potential buyers can appreciate the vehicle and relish in the rarity of its condition and miles. This 1977 Ford Thunderbird was purchased brand new on Febuary 14th, 1977 from Midway Ford in St. Paul Minnesota. The original Purchase Agreement and Billing Invoice highlights the following options it came with: 351 Engine($92), Factory Air Conditioning($521), Tinted Glass($61), AM/FM Radio + Tape deck($193), Wire Wheel Covers($99) and a few other options that I can't quite make out. The car was purchased brand new for $6,486.56 including vehicle option, sales tax and license fees. This beauty has graced the road with her presence for ONLY 1,924.9 miles. The condition of the vehicle hasn't changed since 1977 with the exception of a small crack in right part of the windshield. If you ask me to describe the condition of the vehicle, SHOWROOM condition is all that is necessary to say. It is that nice. This is one of the cleanest and most original, if not the cleanest, 1977 Ford Thunderbirds you will ever have the opportunity to purchase. The 351 engine starts and runs beautifully. The transmission shifts perfect. Everything works perfect. Everything is completely original and rust free. The undercarriage, trunk, interior, and engine bay are absolutely excpetional and indicate actual miles. This is so original it still has it's original tires. All supporting documentation include: The Original Purchase Agreement and Billing Invoice from Midway Ford, Original Ten Day Temporary Permit, Original 1977 Thunderbird Sales Brochure, and the even the Original Title. THIS IS A ONE OF A KIND CAR THAT I ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME VIEW AND DRIVE! PLEASE ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS! I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO SEND ADDITIONAL PHOTOS. It would be hard to find a nicer example, anywhere. You only come across the best of the best once in a while and these cars are only original once!
This is truly a fine example of a Classic Thunderbird. |

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
Ford's Troller introduces even more rugged T4 SUVs in Sao Paulo
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Bronco may be long gone from Ford dealerships back home, but down in Brazil its spirit lives on in the Troller brand. Founded independently in 1995, Ford do Brasil took over Troller in 2007 and has been teasing us with its rough-and-tumble SUVs ever since. So with the Sao Paulo Motor Show coming up, Troller has revealed this special version of the T4.
Looking even more rugged than the existing three-door sport-ute, this special T4 packs a snorkel, winch, upgraded bumpers and knobbier tires. We're not sure what to make of the "sophisticated" brown and tan paint job, but send it north and the Jeep Wrangler would have a new challenger on its hands... especially since the Toyota FJ Cruiser was discontinued.
Alongside the version seen here, Troller will also exhibit another T4 outfitted for rescue workers. Scope out initial details of both in the press release below, enclosed in both its original Portuguese and auto-translated into English.
Ford Focus RS ready to make our hot hatch dreams real
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Ford's current hot hatch siblings the Fiesta ST and Focus ST are already two pretty great entries into the segment, but there's always a desire for a little more. Thankfully, it looks like the Blue Oval is ready to satiate that need because it's continuing to test the even more powerful Focus RS around Europe. According to our spy shooters, these shots come from near the Nürburgring.
As with previous photos, Ford engineers continue to heavily camouflage the front end of the RS prototypes, but there's a big difference here. Unlike earlier ones, this example appears to have a closer-to-production-ready front bumper rather than just a horizontal strip for the license plate. That may point to development getting somewhat closer to wrapping up. Although, this one lacks the larger rear wing from prior testers, and the exhaust also appears to be a work in progress with the rear diffuser covered in mesh in these latest shots.
The RS is rumored to be using the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Mustang, but power is reportedly turned up from 310 horsepower in the 'Stang to somewhere between 325 hp and 350 hp for the Focus. Routing all that just through the front wheels could be a recipe for serious torque steer, and all-wheel drive is potentially being used for better traction.
