WOW ! WOW ! & WOW AGAIN !!!

Check out this " truly wonderfull" car. So many times you will see a car advertized as "low mileage" , "survivor", or other buzz words

describing it. But more times than not, it turns out to be a car that although it may have low miles etc., A lot of restoration is needed

or was done before the car could live up to the description given in the ad. Sometimes, it's just a lie !.

NOT HERE!. Let me tell you about this car. This was a one owner car from the time it was new until the owner passed away and

i purchased it from the family just about two years ago. I was told that the car was garage kept since new and never exposed to bad weather

and i believe it!. You will too when you see it in person. It is a rust and corrosion free automobile !.

It is "COMPLETELY" original .) and it is in just about as close to " original new" condition as i could imagine a car to

be !. It has 32700 documented miles on it Great service records along with the original bill of sale and " protecto- plate."

It's really quite amazing .When you look at things like the carpet, the headliner, the fabric on the seats, etc.

you can't help but wonder how someone was able to maintain a car in this condition for so many years.

Here are some details.

_____________________________EXTERIOR_______________________________________________________________

As i hope you can see in the photos, the body on the car is as straight as an arrow. the dark blue paint is clear&bright with

only a " very few", very minor", surface scratches hardly worth noting but i don't want to leave anything out.

The chrome bumpers as well as the the grill and all the exterior bright work including the wheel covers are like new Even the rubber

bumper guards are in great shape.

There is however , a very small dent in the aluminum fender trim on the rear passenger side. I think that it rubbed something in the garage.

It is very insugnifficant. The White vinyl top is perfect condition. All of the glass is in great condition including the windshield, side and rear

glass and side mirror glass. The headlights,taillights, parking lights, emblems, etc. are all in perfect condition. Open the door s and check

out the sill plates and hinges as well as the paint etc.

____________________________INTERIOR_______________________________________________________________

You know the old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" ? well take a very close look a the photos of the interior.

and remember "It's all original !". The headliner looks like it's a day old. The seat covers don't show any wear and when

you sit down on them, you feel like you are in a new car. a new car. The carpet looks like no one ever stepped on it. The arm

rests are in perfect condition as are the door panels. All the interior brightwork ( door handles, trim, etc.) is like new.

The dash is the same ( like new). All of the guages work. The dash glass is clear & bright but as you may expect, the clock doesn't

work !. I wonder why the clocks never seem to work in older cars.?.

_______________________________MECHANICAL________________________________________________________-

The 351M/400 motor runs perfectly and even gets good gas mileage. The car is equipped with power steering that steers effortlessly.

power brakes that stop on a dime and an automatic transmisson that shifts smoothly and doesn't leak. It even has air conditioning

that blows "ice cold". The tires are brand new. The original radio still works and there are remote control right & left side exterior mirrors .

The car sits straight and level on the tight and solid suspension. No rust under the car. The exhaust system is good.

The front end, brakes, steering and electrical system are all good. No problems anywhere !!!.

The car has been "Zebart" and" Hercules" rust proof protected from new".

________________________-OVERVIEW____________________________________________________________________-

The 1978 Thunderbird was known as "the baby Lincoln" or " Fords luxury sports car". It has the sporty look along with

comfort of a luxury car. You can drive this car anywhere from a cross country trip to a local car show. Don't be surprised if

you pick up a trophy or two. Whether you are a seasoned car collector, a first time buyer of a vintage car, or maybe you're just a

Tbird fan, This is a really nice car that you will be proud to own and show off.

Here's wishing you good luck with your bidding !.

3dCarbon now offering body kit for Ford Fusion

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

A factory-backed body kit by 3dCarbon is now available to Ford Fusion owners who want their car to stand out from the crowd while not being too flashy. The body kit adds a more aggressive front spoiler, side skirts, rear body trim and spoiler that are, in fact, integrated quite nicely into the Fusion's already-comely styling, just as 3dCarbon claims. All Fusions with the kit also receive dual exhaust ports with the stainless-steel exhaust surrounds usually reserved for the Titanium package Fusion EcoBoost models.
A nice detail of 3dCarbon's injection-molded urethane body kit is that it has undergone crash testing to certify that it can withstand crashes up to five miles per hour. Because of this, the kit is warrantied by 3dCarbon for five years or 50,000 miles, much like Ford's warranty on its own parts. In fact, the kit is available through participating Ford dealers and can be financed through Ford Motor Credit. Buyers can purchase the kit - pre-painted or unpainted - and install it themselves, or it can be purchased with a new Ford Fusion and installed at the dealer, pre-painted to factory specifications. Of course, it can also be ordered directly from the source. Take a look at the press release below for more detailed information on the body kit, and let us know what you think of it in Comments.

Ford recalling nearly 24,000 Focus EV and C-Max models over door chime

Fri, 04 Oct 2013

Ford will be voluntarily recalling 23,830 Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid and Energi models equipped with push-button ignition, according to The Detroit News. Why? Because the cars don't make a noise when the driver's door is open, and are therefore in violation of federal regulations. It's not as silly as Honda's badging recall that isn't a recall, but it's close.
Actually, that's not exactly fair. The chime is supposed to come on when the driver's door is open, as it reminds drivers not to leave their cars on or leave key fobs in the car, an easy thing to forget when the cars in question make virtually no noise at idle and do not require keys in ignitions.
The recall, which Ford is conducting voluntarily, covers 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric hatchbacks and 2013 C-Max Hybrid and Energi models. The overwhelming majority, around 22,900 units, were sold in the US, while the remaining 900 units are in Canada. How many of each model are covered in the recall is not immediately clear.

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America

Wed, May 27 2015

Ford 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.
