1885 Ford Thunderbird Fila V6, 60k Miles, Southern Beauty One Family. Excellent! on 2040-cars
Woodruff, South Carolina, United States
|
Up for sale is the beautiful low mileage 1985 Ford Thunderbird Fila Edition with the 3.8 V6. It has been in upstate South Carolina all it's life and has been kept in the same family always. This 85 TBird has only 60,616 original miles and is in wonderful condition.
The outside is burgandy and is in excellent condition. The original paint shines very well and has only minor wear from use. There will be a minor scratch here and there but this TBird shows almost as new. The tires are new with very few miles. All glass is nice. The dark grey leather/suede inside is virtually new with minimal wear. The sport seats are very comfortable. The power driver seat moves with ease and both front seats are articulated to give firm support. The dash, steering wheel, door panels and headliner are as new. This rare Fila Bird spent a good deal of time locked away in a garage which accounts for it's formidable condition. All options work as they should. The 3.8 V6 starts and runs well but could benefit from a tune up as this TBird has been scarcely driven for the last few years. The motor is clean and there are no signs of leaks as of the picture taking. It has been started regularly and driven a few miles at a time. It has been on our showroom, not for sale, for a couple of years along with a stunning 1961 Cadillac DeVille, which will go on Ebay soon. The owner would like to see these kept well by new owners. Please bid with confidence. This 1985 Fila Thunderbird can be driven to it's new destination but the condition ( Excellent) is such that I would not advise it. You may not want to risk any damage to it. But if you are bidding for a daily driver then head in and drive away if you want. It will be serviced and ready for travel either way. If you are nearby, please, by all means, come by and inspect this beautiful Thunderbird in person. The reserve is low for a vehicle of this type and condition. Thanks for looking! |

EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
Ford to reveal Vignale sub-brand with special Mondeo in Frankfurt
Tue, 03 Sep 2013Ford says that 10-15 percent of its customers in Europe want their cars to be set apart from regular Fords - even those wearing the top Titanium X trim - and the Blue Oval will answer them with the Vignale sub-brand. The new brand proposes a more upscale look and a much-improved dealership experience, Autocar reports. The Vignale Mondeo will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show to kick off the new endeavor.
The first Ford to receive the Vignale treatment will be the 2015 Mondeo, a Euro-only model, followed by the new S-Max and Edge. The Vignale Mondeo is set apart visually from other Mondeos by a chrome grille and chrome door handles and mirror caps. Mondeo badging will be deleted - only Vignale badging will make an appearance.
The interior will get a more upscale flavor, as well, with quilted leather seats and door trim and leather covering the instrument panel, center console and steering wheel. A Vignale-badged storage drawer will be installed in the trunk, and in-car Wi-Fi is available.
Ford recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue
Fri, Dec 20 2019Ford is recalling 600,166 older-model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles over an issue that could affect braking and increase the risk of a crash. The safety recall covers certain Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years that were built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 22, 2006, and July 15, 2009. Ford says a valve that is normally closed inside the hydraulic control unit may get stuck in the open position or be slow to close, which could make it harder to engage the brakes and increase risk of a crash. Ford says itÂ’s aware of 15 reports of accidents and two injuries possibly related to the issue. Dealers will inspect the hydraulic control unit for signs of the problem and replace it, if necessary. The dealers will pressure-flush the system with brake fluid and replace the reservoir cap with a new one. Ford is also issuing a small recall of 33 of its 2020 F-150 trucks in the U.S. and 51 in Canada over potentially damaged spare tires. It says the bead area on the tires may have been damaged when it was mounted onto the wheel assembly, leaving it vulnerable to corrosion, separation of the bead wire and ultimately a rapid loss of air pressure and detachment from the wheel. Dealers will replace the spare tire. Affected vehicles were built at the Dearborn Truck Plant from Nov. 10-21 of this year.
