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. |

Compact SUV Comparison: Specs, pics and reviews of every brand's crossover
Wed, Jul 25 2018Honda CR-V vs Toyota RAV4. Chevy Equinox vs Ford Escape. Mazda CX-5 vs Subaru Forester. Whichever combinations of compact crossover SUV you're considering, there's probably a comparison test or chart out there to read. Heck, you can even create a three-car comparison yourself here at Autoblog. However, if you want a bunch of that information all in one convenient place, well, here it is. Our mega comparison of specs, features and photos of compact SUV entries from every mainstream manufacturer that sells them. That includes the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, 2018 Ford Escape, 2018 GMC Terrain, 2018 Honda CR-V, 2018 Hyundai Tucson, 2019 Jeep Cherokee (it's already on sale with notable changes from 2018), 2018 Jeep Compass, 2018 Kia Sportage, 2018 Mazda CX-5, 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (none of Mitsu's SUVs are perfect fits for this segment, so we deemed the MEC the most competitive fit), 2018 Nissan Rogue, 2018 Subaru Forester, 2018 Toyota RAV4 and 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. We can update this comparison as more information about 2019 models is released, most notably the Forester and RAV4. Now, there are certainly some models that are smaller (Nissan Rogue Sport) or larger (Kia Sorento) that could also be considered, but we figured it was wise to stick with those in this sweet spot of comparable size and price. We also included links to Autoblog reviews, buying guides and smaller comparisons. Engines and Transmissions With rare exception, this segment features four-cylinder power. Sometimes it's turbocharged, often its not, but standard engine outputs are generally in the same ballpark. Therefore, we'd recommend focusing on torque output, as it's what will make a difference around town or when passing, and weighing that versus fuel economy (the Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 make particularly strong cases in this regard). Many drivers aren't too fond of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), either, so that's another thing to consider and note during a test drive. As you can see, several models are available with performance upgrades. Besides the Jeep Cherokee's available V6, all are more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines. The exception to this would be the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape, as their 1.5-liter turbo engines don't prioritize performance. Instead, they serve as overall upgrades to the base naturally aspirated engines standard on only their base trim levels (CR-V LX and Escape S).
2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost
Fri, 09 May 2014I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.
2015 Ford F-150 configurator is ready to go to work
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Ford is inching towards the on-sale date for the eagerly anticipated, aluminum F-150 pickup. While we're preparing to drive the new truck (expect our take on it sooner rather than later), the best-seller has reached another, albeit more minor, milestone as its online configurator has officially been switched on.
We took to Ford's consumer website to mess about with it and see just how ridiculous of a truck we can build. Among the fun things we discovered were these two nuggets - the most expensive truck we could configure was not the top-end Platinum model, but instead the King Ranch, which rang up at $65,955. The other exciting discovery? The new truck would be available in a questionable shade called Blue Jeans (shown above with the optional contrasting Caribou paint). Yep, Blue Jeans.
You can head over to Ford's consumer page and build your very own aluminum F-150 now. Take a look.
