Up for auction is a very nice 62 Thunderbird with 66,000 actual miles. Original drive train, 390 V8, automatic, power drivers seat, tilt away steering column Kelsey Hayes style wire wheels, aftermarket am/fm/cass stereo with Thunderbird logo(original working radio included), and radial whitewalls. This car runs,shifts and drives great. Everything seams to work including the clock. It has a newer exhaust w/glass packs and it sounds great. I have receipts totaling over $7300.00 worth of work and parts done to this car over the last 10 years. It has been very well maintained. The exterior paint is not perfect but shines nice. There are 2 stone chips on the hood and 2 small paint bubbles behind each rear wheel but hard to see. The doors are clean on the bottom, floor pans and trunk floor are solid with no repairs. The stainless is very presentable with only a couple minor dings, but as nice as I've seen on a daily driver. Both bumpers are new as are the hood and trunk ornaments and Thunderbird fender scripts. The grill guard was not replaced when the bumpers were done but looks presentable. Wire wheels have a little surface rust. Under the hood, new chrome valve covers have been added and an aftermarket air breather but the original air breather is included. All the glass is nice with no cracks. Interior appears to be original except for the new headliner and is very presentable. Dash has no cracks, looks good and the carpet is showing it's age but for 51 years old looks presentable. Door panels are in good shape for being the originals. The steering wheel has a cover on it probably hiding a crack or two. The trunk looks like new and includes factory jack and spare. With this car is the original bill of sale, owners manual, shop manual, receipts for repairs made over many years, original radio and air breather. If you looking for a super running classic this is your car. While not show quality, this is a damn nice car and with a little tweaking could be show quality but remember it's 50+ years old. As with any vintage car it is being sold "AS IS" with no promises or warranties. The car is available for inspection during the auction, not afterwards. Please ask questions as I don't do returns. A deposit of $1000.00 is due via paypal within 24 hours of auction close and the balance due within 5 days of auction close via cash in person or wire transfer, NO EXCEPTIONS !!!!!!!!!!! If you need permission from your wife, girl friend, or mother, get it before you bid. Please have funds in place. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer but I will assist you with your arrangements. Please ask questions, ask questions and ask questions. Good luck and bid to win.

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.

2015 Mustang-based Saleen S302 to boast as much as 640 hp

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

The Ford Mustang is obviously a famous performance vehicle in its own right, but it often works even better as a platform for the aftermarket to upgrade. With the all-new 2015 model just now hitting the scene, the famous tuners at Saleen are getting their improvements for the new pony car ready for the world. After recently teasing it, the specs for its fresh S302 model are officially here, along with a first look at it in profile.
Of course, the biggest question on everyone's mind is how much power the company can get from the Mustang's V8. With the 2015 V8 model rated at 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet, Saleen expects to bump the Ford factory numbers slightly to 450 hp and 410 lb-ft in naturally aspirated form, or with the benefit of a supercharger, it will rocket the engine's output figures to 640 hp and 565 lb-ft. No matter which powerplant a buyer chooses, there are a wide variety of available final-drive ratios with a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
Available as either a coupe or convertible forms, Saleen will offer its S302 in three trim levels - White Label, Yellow Label and Black Label. The White Label is the only naturally aspirated one of the bunch, but it still benefits from upgrades like a new exhaust, limited-slip differential, improved suspension, heat extractor hood and rear wing.

Ford files patent for 11-speed transmission

Sat, Apr 11 2015

The automatic transmission seemed limited to three or four gears for decades, and then the automotive world slowly started to see more ratios becoming available. Today, seven-, eight- or nine-speed gearboxes have become rather common. Ford even has an automatic with 10 gears on the way for the future F-150 Raptor. The Blue Oval might not be done yet, though, because the company also now has a patent on an 11-speed box. The filing, which was discovered by AutoGuide, says this idea "produces eleven forward speed ratios and one reverse speed ratio by selective engagement of three shift elements in various combinations," and the company outlines three different ways of making this possible. The advantage of adding one more ratio is that the gearbox should be able to keep the revs in the ideal portion of the engine's torque curve even longer. Obviously, automakers patent ideas constantly, and applying for one is no guarantee that the tech ever arrives on the market. Conversely, these documents provide a tiny glimpse at one of the brand's focuses of development. If you're mechanically minded or just curious, you can read the entire application here for the technical nitty-gritty.
