1962 Ford Thunderbird

Offered for sale is the Tbird seen below. This car is a slight custom that has a great look and turns heads anywhere it goes. Although not perfect his is an extremely nice cruiser that is nicer then most you will come across. There has been a lot of money spent over the years on improvements and upgrades to make the car what it is today.

For starters the 390 v8 engine was completely removed and rebuilt in 2008 and the car has enjoyed very little mileage since. The odometer was reset when the engine was rebuilt and it now has 3,100 miles. The heads and intake valves where also redone at the same time along with rebuilt starter and bendix. The car starts and runs great. The engine was also dressed with many chrome parts including water pump, power steering cover, cross support bars, heater delete plate, oil filler tube, coolant over flow, coolant filler neck and polished aluminum valve covers with matching air cleaner. It also has a brand new very expensive correct battery and new correct battery cables and washer bag.

The interior is very nice and presentable. As good as it looks in the photos and features a newer digital style thunderbird logo radio, swing away steering wheel, power windows, upgraded Dolphin gauges that all work correctly. The power windows all work but the drivers side sometimes needs a little help to go up. Extremely nice with brand new correct rubber mats, newer seat covers, carpet, door panels, headliner. It comes with a brand new tray insert for center console and brand new never opened never installed door felts that need to be put on the car.

The paint is about 15 years old, very nice but not perfect. There are imperfections such as a chip ding or minor scratch that is shown in the pictures below. It is a very straight solid body. The only metal replacement was one spot in the trunk floor. The biggest fault is pitting around the chrome trim on windows which is also shown in the pics. Lots of nice upgrades including true wire wheels with like new wide white walls with inner tubes. It has brand new rear bumper Q’s lenses and rubber which are extremely expensive for the right stuff. It has a custom front grille and the car has been lowered by 2’’. Underneath it also has a brand new fuel tank.

One of our salesmen was a previous owner of this car for 12 years. He knows pretty much anything you could want to know about the car and you can reach him directly at 216-978-7274 his name is Gary.

New car market raining on convertibles' parade

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.

Riding along in Ford's bonkers Fiesta ST Global RallyCross car [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013



The Mountune-worked Fiesta ST GRC does 0-to-60 mph in 1.9 seconds.
On any given day, and every single weekend, there's at least one parking in the country invaded by manufacturer and team trucks. The be-chromed beasts and their 53-foot trailers are slotted into rows, men and women decorate the lot with orange cones to mark the invisible tracery of a temporary track, cars get unloaded, crews fret over them. The ritual can be as beautiful as the sunrise to those with enthusiast hearts, but it's just as common.

Jay Leno takes a Surfin' Safari in a 1937 Ford Woodie Restomod

Tue, 21 Oct 2014

Woodie wagons were a major part of surfing culture in the 1960s, offering coastal style and a ton of room, and they even earned a mention in the Beach Boys' classic song Surfin' Safari. This week, Jay Leno's Garage takes a look at two modern, restomodded examples of these style icons.
Unlike a lot of restomods, builder Scott Bonowski keeps these wagons looking almost completely stock on the outside, and all of the upgrades are hidden underneath the timber. You can't tell by looking at it, but the '37 Woodie (pictured above) has independent front and rear suspension, disc brakes and a Ford 5.0-liter V8 under the hood.
Beyond the mechanical aspect, the craftsmanship into the wood is astounding. Bonowski claims there are between 30 and 50 coats of varnish on this wagon. It makes these woodies as much of a piece of fine furniture as a vehicle to drive.
