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.

Mustang, Camaro, Challenger gallop onto USPS pony car postage stamp set
Tue, Jul 19 2022Some of America's most iconic cars are about to be immortalized on postage stamps. A new set by the U.S. Postal Service will celebrate the the golden era of pony cars, featuring five classic examples of Detroit iron. Each one is beautifully illustrated in oil-on-canvas style, with subjects in motion and sunlight glinting off the chrome, and would add a nice touch to any first-class letter. The pony car segment was all about (relatively) small, sporty alternatives to the full-size land yachts of the 1960s. They typically came equipped with 6-cylinder engines or small-block V8s. The category was named after the Ford Mustang, hence the name. Some, though, argue that the Plymouth Barracuda, which was launched a couple of weeks before the Mustang, is the first. Luckily, the Falcon-based Mustang's distinct styling generated a sales sensation, or we might be calling them fish cars. Appropriately, one of the featured cars is a Mustang. But it's not just any Mustang. The 1969 Boss 302, seen here resplendent in Bright Yellow, was created for the hotly-contested SCCA Trans-Am racing series. One of its main rivals would have been the 1969 Chevy Camaro Z/28, also created specifically for the series, and is included in the set in Fathom Green. Representing Auburn Hills in the set is a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T in Plum Crazy, while Southfield's American Motors gets a nod with an AMC Javelin in Big Bad Orange. The Mustang's platform cousin, a 1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7, is portrayed in a gorgeous Burgundy Poly that almost looks incomplete without Neko Case on the hood. It's not the first time the USPS has honored America's rich car culture on its stamps. In 2013, it issues a series of muscle car stamps with the help of Richard Petty. That set featured a 1966 Pontiac GTO, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1970 Chevelle SS, 1970 Plymouth Hemi ’Cuda and, of course, a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. Another set in 2016 featured classic pickup trucks. Going further back, a 2008 release had chroed and finned automobiles of the 1950s and a 2005 release featured sporty American cars of the same era. The pony car stamps will debut on August 25 at the Great American Stamp Show in Sacramento, California in partnership with the American Philatelic Society. The public is free to attend the dedication ceremony, but you must RSVP first. After that, they will be available at local post offices and on line at the USPS store.
Ford investing $500M in engine plant for 2.7L EcoBoost production
Sun, 30 Mar 2014Ohio is a hot area for Ford at the moment with the announcement just a few weeks ago that production of the next-generation F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks would move from Mexico to the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Now, Ford is investing $500 million to hire 300 workers at its Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio, to add production of the twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for the 2015 F-150.
The latest investment will be used to add a new flexible engine assembly system and renovate 700,000 square feet of the plant for machining and assembly areas. The Lima factory already builds Ford's 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter Duratec V6 engines. The plant opened in 1957, and it's on track to build its 40 millionth engine later this year.
Ford claims that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost will offer V8 performance with better efficiency in the F-150. It comes standard with intelligent stop/start that doesn't activate when the truck is towing or in four-wheel drive, and it's made from a combination of compacted graphite iron and aluminum for low weight and high strength. The company says that V6 engines have already proven popular in the F-150 with 57 percent of trucks in 2014 being equipped with either the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter or turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines.
Ford blimp crashes inside Portland Trail Blazers arena
Fri, Dec 5 2014Portland basketball fans got a free, very safe recreation of the Hindenburg disaster when a Ford airship crashed into the stands during a game between the Trail Blazers and Indiana Pacers. Reportedly no one was hurt, but arena staff trying to push the inflatable vehicle through a hole it was too big for, made for some fantastic video and photos. This content is hosted by a third party.
