Up for sale is by 1962 thunderbird sports roadster. I have owned the car since 2006. It came for CO but was orginialy sold in CA.I have docomentation from 1988 when the car was baught by Carl Dane of Nascar Fame. You can look him up on line. At that time he had the car restored including new paint, chrome,engine and transmission gone over. Sometime before that a set of orginial Ford 3x2 setup was put one the car. Carbs are dated 1962 and are correct in every detail including the right crank case breather tubes and air cleaner. The gas line is rubber from the fuel pump to carbs however. An orginial autolite carb and 4lb intake and air cleaner is included in the sale if one chooses to put in on. The 3x2 runs great. In 1988 Mr. Dane sold the car to his nefew. He had a brand new top put on and a new top motor and raditor core instaled. I have detailed records that were included with the sale of the car to me at this point. Since I have had the car I have done many inprovements to it. New: exhaust system(front to rear), brake pads and cylinders, water pump, fuel pump, steering box. all alum.trim and switches replaced, new wire wheels(the 5 orginials are included and are not really bad, slightly dull). The front seat covers looked to have been replaced (nice). The rear ones look to be the orginials and are nice also. The interior trim has been polished and looks new. Dash pad looks new and was probably replaced with a NOS ford part in 1988. Car has brand new carpet. Door panel are orginial along with the sun visors and are GREAT. Chrome on dash including all knobs is extra nice. Horn button has been replated, ring is orginal and nice. Steering wheel is like new with no crackes or scratches.Rotanda Tach was added by me and works find. Cup is like new. There are two radios that come with the car. The orginial AM and the aftermarket AM/FM that I put in. Both work find. No extra holes cut anywhere. Same with clock, orginial and the new quartz. All guages and controls work as they should.The AC has not worked since I had the car but all factory parts are present.I do not have the skill to work on this but I do know the clutch on the compressor does work.BODY: This is the most amazing thing about this car. I can not find any rust at all on this car,top or bottom. I went over it with a magnet when I bought the car and couldn't find any body filler anywhere Panels are stright and alinment is right on. I would say paint is 9 out of ten. There are no dings or dents Grill has been polished.The out side stainless trin has not been polishe(did not know now to take off) and there is a small dimple in two of the six pieces. Other car trim (emblems, beezels,door handles, mirror, ect are like new. Rubber trim is excellent. Rear weights are installed in trunk but the front ones are in boxes and not installed. Probably left off when front bumper was replated. TOP: Top is excellent with no rips or tears.Window is clear with no scratches.The darn tap on window is broken but should not be hard to fix.Top worked find when I got the car but the trunk lid does come up a little slow.Goes down find. Rest of top componts work find. All switches and relays work as they should.SUPENSION:New rebuilt of front and new springs on back with all new bushings. Shocks looked good(with no leaks) and were not replaced. New radial tires is 2007 including spare. SUMMARY:This is a beauitful sports roadster(a early one and a real one) I have the docmentation. With a no rust body and has not been messed with and butched up in any way. If you like the style of the 1962 and want a good car This is IT! It has not been on ebay before and is not in the tbird registry. I have done my best to describe this car but I may have missed some issues you may be concerned about so please feel free to email with any questions. And thank you for taking time to look at my car.

Lincoln Aviator could make a comeback
Tue, Jun 9 2015The idea of Lincoln dropping its alphanumeric scheme in favor of real names was welcomed by fans of the marque and even appeared possible after the rousing reception to the Continental concept. Now, rumors suggest that the next of the luxury brand's nameplates to see a possible revival just might be the Aviator. Don't get your hopes up quite yet, though. The Truth About Cars admits that this tip comes from a second-hand source, but the person reports that Lincoln has a project codenamed Aviator as a model based on the Explorer. There's evidence to give the rumor some shaky support, though. Ford already has the trademarks for the name and AV8R. Also, an Explorer-based vehicle in 2019 is included for the brand's predictions in the recent Car Wars forecast. Autoblog reached out to company spokesperson Sam Locricchio, but he would not speculate about future products. The same source claims to The Truth About Cars that the Blue Oval might not replace the Ford Flex or Lincoln MKT when the current generations come to an end. Also, the next-gen Expedition and Navigator could use 10-speed automatics and follow the F-150 to get aluminum bodies, which is also already rumored. Although, all of this should be taken with a big grain of salt until anything more official has arrived. Lincoln spokesperson Stephane Cesareo gave The Truth About Cars no comment on the rumor, but said, "By 2020, we expect to expand the segments that we participate in by adding two new nameplates to the Lincoln brand. We have not provided any indications about the products or their names." Related Video:
