I need to sell this car before winter hits even though I will be sad to see it go. This is a 1960 Ford Thunderbird with an automatic transmission. I bought this car a few years ago with the intention of restoring her. She is ready to be restored to mint condition. The body is STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW. There is NO RUST on the under body and only a small rust spot on the rear passenger side lower panel, just rear of the fender well; it is the size of a quarter. The body is a 9 of 10. Paint is the original color and shows age (worn away in some spots and mostly dull). As I intended to restore her, I initially stared working on her mechanically. The entire front end has recently been taken apart, cleaned, inspected and lubed. She got 2 new ball joints and a bit of honing on both front wheel cylinders. When we checked the rear wheel cylinders they were in good shape. The entire breaking system has been combed through. The drums (front and rear) are in great shape with no warp and the shoes have good lift left on them. The brake line to the two rear wheels is a new single line not spliced. I was told by the previous owner that the master cylinder had recently been rebuilt so assume it has been rebuilt in the past 4 years. The car has had a complete tune-up in the last 1000 miles and all fluid levels were checked and all were in line where they should be including the differential. The carburetor is a Holly that is a 4 barrel which is dialed all the way down. My mechanic says it is a bit too big for the car. The motor is not original but was a Ford 352 that has been bored to a 380 and rebuilt. I do not know when the motor was rebuilt. Transmission is a not stock C6 that is in perfect working condition. Nothing is wrong with the car mechanically besides a small crack in the passenger side exhaust manifold. The odometer states somewhere around 90,000 and I would assume by the condition of the car that the car itself only has 90,000 miles on it but I am not sure. The Exhaust system is newer. The lock for the doors is the same key as the ignition and I have two keys for that. There is a separate key for the trunk and I believe one other key that may be for the glove box. The interior is in above average condition for its age and all the parts that go with the interior come with the car even though they may not be installed (basically just trim pieces). The only thing that is missing is the original switch for the heat/defrost. I had the tracks moved back for the passenger seat and new tracks made for the driver seat so the seats can go back farther. Power driver seat does work as well as all of the lights, high beams, interior lights and horn. The car has air conditioning which is not original and when it was added they put in a different heat/air switch. I have not tried the heat or the air conditioning because I drive the car with the windows down and I have never driven it when it is cold out. Tires have good tread but are old and I would recommend replacing them. I have the original window sticker and bill of sale for the car which shows the options the car came with. The car was sold in the northeast but I was told by the previous owner is spent most of its life in the Mesa, AZ. I've got more than $10,000 in the car but I have no garage for her for winter. $6000 will buy her. $500 non refundable is due within 48 hours of auction end through paypal.

Ford 1.0L EcoBoost 3-Cylinder: Autoblog Technology of the Year award finalist

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

As the old saying goes, "There's no replacement for displacement." But these days, many automakers are launching powerful, downsized engines that offer similar or better power output than their predecessors, all while offering improvements in fuel economy and emissions. These days, we're seeing automakers replacing eight-cylinder engines with turbocharged sixes, and the naturally aspirated six-cylinder motors are being phased out in favor of potent turbo fours. But Ford has gone even smaller, offering a three-cylinder, turbocharged engine with one single liter of displacement.
Sure, three-cylinder engines aren't anything new - they've been offered around the globe for ages. But Ford's EcoBoost 1.0L powerplant is perhaps the best application the Autoblog team has tested. Gone are the triple-cylinder complaints of yore - this engine doesn't sound anemic or buzzy, and there's healthy power output on tap. In fact, compared to the 1.6-liter inline-four that Ford also offers in the Fiesta, the 1.0-liter is more powerful, while boasting an impressive 45 miles per gallon on the highway.
This engine has already received numerous accolades, including winning the International Engine of the Year award in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The 1.0L EcoBoost will be available in the refreshed 2015 Ford Focus here in the US.

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9. Scroll down for the full press release below on Ford's latest race effort.
