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.

Ford F-150 pulls semi truck through snow-clogged Chicago streets
Wed, Feb 4 2015Earlier this week, the Midwest was crippled by a massive snowstorm that dumped a foot or more of powder in some areas. The result was, of course, transportation gridlock. It's a fortunate thing for this stranded semi-truck driver, then, that a Ford F-150 EcoBoost stumbled upon him. Despite a tow rating of just over 11,000 pounds, the four-wheel-drive, turbocharged pickup managed to dislodge the big rig from a snow-covered street. Of course, the Ford didn't get the semi moving all on its own – watch the video towards the end and the semi was quite clearly spinning its rear tires. Still, it's an impressive feat that we've little doubt F-Series fans are celebrating. Related video:
Amid Mulally rumors, Bill Ford praises company's deep bench
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Bill Ford went on the offensive to combat the rumors that CEO Alan Mulally would leave Dearborn for Steve Ballmer's vacated position leading Microsoft, adding that even if the 68-year-old, former Boeing exec were to depart, the Ford executive team is in a good place.
"I'm happy [Mulally] is going to stick around. But we also feel really good about where we are in terms of succession," Ford told Bloomberg TV, according to Automotive News. Rumors first cropped up about Mulally leaving Ford when AllThingsD speculated that he was in the running, early last month. In that same report, which you can read here, Ford's board of directors reportedly okayed the CEO stepping down ahead of his planned retirement in 2014.
That opened the floodgates, culminating in a report from a few days ago that the rumors over Ballmer's successor just might be true. The story is especially troubling, as Ford hasn't had Mulally under contract, according to AN. "He's here as long as he and I would like it to happen," Ford said, "We're also cognizant of training the next generation and getting them ready to go as well."
