Here up for auction is my pride and joy 1960 Ford Thunderbird. The car runs and drives great. I drive it everyday to work and home. The car has all new brake lines, hard and soft, brand new NAPA master cyl. 4 new wheel cyl. And all new shoes. A new fuel tank and lines to the front, with new pump and rebuilt carb. The front tires are new Pirelli 15" tires with VERY NICE 57' CADILLAC HUBCAPS!!! The rear tires are new as well they are just stock 14" with out hubcaps. The engine got a basic tune up all new rubber hoses and belts, new thermostat and GM style one wire chrome high output alt. The engine runs very well but is over 50 years old and has a couple of gasket leaks and the flywheel makes a noise in the bell housing at very low RPM(when you service these old trannys with newer parts sometimes there are clearance issues i belive the inside of the bell housing needs ground down in one spot). The interior is very nice having all new head liner, dash cover, carpet(full dynomatted floor under carpet),and a very nice Alpine Bluetooth stereo that connects to iPhones. All gauges including speedo, temp, and fuel level are in working order. The front and rear seats are not recovered but are in descent shape(when recovered they will need new foam). All interior garnish moldings have been rechromed exe. visors. But interior is 100%. There is a crack in the drivers door glass. The out side of the car is all body worked and lined up with shave door handles, trunk lock cyl, and rounded front hood corners and is in a grey primer with guide coat. I have all trim parts including hood scoop and headlight rings and many, many other parts including extra front and rear seats, two extra bumpers in really good shape, and a very large bin full of any kind of trim part you can think of + many more parts hanging on the wall. Winner can take it all or pick through whatever they want. I was going to paint the car Firemist Gold like the engine bay and paint can go with vehicle if you like. The car is very fun to drive. And you get a lot of attention just driving around. The car is located in Grand Junction Co. I personally would drive this car anywhere(checking fluids regularly and keeping a close eye on the gauges) but I am the type of person that likes driving old stuff. The old style brakes and a lot of bump steer in the old school steering does not make it easy to highway drive, but cruises nice at 70. This is a nice car that I hate to get rid of but the times require sale. My lose your gain!! Please feel free to call me with any further questions. Rich(772)485-3053. This car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction at any time. Thanks. Good luck.

2017 Ford Super Duty trucks recalled because the fuel tank could fall off
Wed, Dec 21 2016Bad news from Dearborn. Ford just announced a pair of recalls, including a particularly worrying flaw in the new F-Series Super Duty. According to Ford's official announcement, there are roughly 8,000 of its big trucks on the roads with a missing reinforcement bracket – if it's not there, the fuel tank could separate from the frame. Yes, Ford is basically saying the fuel tank could fall out. We don't need to explain why this would be a very bad thing. Fortunately, no owners have experienced said bad things – Ford claims it's unaware of any fires, injuries, or accidents resulting from the flaws. The Kentucky Truck Plant built the affected pickups between August 10 and September 17. The bulk of the vehicles are in the US – 7,103, to be precise. Another 964 are cruising around the frozen Canadian tundra, while two more are in "federalized territories." The other recall is smaller, but reaches across a broad swath of the Blue Oval's family vehicles. Ford says there are 1,352 Taurus sedans, Flex crossovers, Explorer SUVs – including the Police Interceptor Utility variant – and Lincoln MKTs equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that could catch fire. In this case, the danger isn't a detached fuel tank, but an "improperly brazed turbocharger oil supply tube" that could leak and spill engine oil on the turbocharger. Again, Ford isn't aware of any fires, accidents, or injuries due to the flaw. Here's the breakdown of manufacturer dates and location: 2016 Ford Taurus vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant, Oct. 18, 2016 to Nov. 2, 2016 2016-17 Ford Flex vehicles built at Oakville Assembly Plant, Oct. 18, 2016 to Nov. 10, 2016 2017 Ford Explorer vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant, Oct. 15, 2016 to Nov. 12, 2016 2017 Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant on Nov. 2, 2016 2016-17 Lincoln MKT vehicles built at Oakville Assembly Plant, Oct. 18, 2016 to Nov. 10, 2016 As with the Super Duty recall, most of the affected cars, crossovers, and SUVs are in the US market. There are 126 units in Canada and six in the same "federalized territories" mentioned above. In the case of both recalls, dealers will inspect the affected parts and replace or add them as necessary.

Rolling footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang hits YouTube [w/video]
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Just in time for the holidays: Ford took the 2015 Mustang to Route 66 to cook up rolling footage, and we've been given some of the leftovers ahead of the meal. There are no burnouts, no donuts, no revving, and thankfully, no music. It's just two minutes and 26 seconds of the new pony car running free in the desert.
So in case you needed more visualizing help, the video below will help you start imagining how you'll look in your 2014 Christmas present to yourself...
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.
