1962 Ford Thunderbird Convertible

 

You are viewing a very nice survivor T Bird with Dealer added Sports Roadster package.  Odometer shows 29K, believed to be 129K miles.  Since 2008 many items on the car have been rebuilt or restored with less than 1K miles since all work has been done.  The car runs and drives excellent.  The car has its original Ford Gate release invoice.  The car was purchased from a former Ford dealer who owned the car for 30 years and stored indoors. 

 

Please read on for more particulars of the car:

 

Body/Paint:  The body panels and paint are original to the car.  Slight door damage to the driver’s door below the key hole that has been repaired.  Overall the body is in excellent condition with no rust.  Floor pans and trunk pans are original to the car.  The paint is original showing some signs of wear with a few chips, but very presentable as driver quality.    

 

Interior:  The dash pad, carpet, front and rear seats have been replaced with original aftermarket material and looks very nice.  Seat belts are new as well.  All other interior components are original to the car in very good condition.  The interior bright work, dash and console are in very good original condition with little to no pitting on bright work.    

 

Convertible/Sport Roadster top:  The convertible top is original and in good overall condition showing some signs of wear.  The power top system has been restored with items as needed.  Works excellent with new trunk mat.  The original Sports Roadster tonneau cover is in excellent condition with new head rest upholstery.  The car is not an original factory Sports Roadster, but was added at the dealer at the time of purchase.  The Sports Roadster details on the car, Ford logo on fenders and tonneau cover show patina and have been installed on the car since purchase.  No grab bar.    

 

Running Gear:  Original engine with the top end rebuilt along with the original carb rebuilt.  The entire engine compartment has been restored.  New stock replacement radiator and heater core.  New belts, hoses, etc.  The transmission is original to the car and works as it should.  Very likely the transmission has been rebuilt knowing how well it shifts, but no record of it.  The rear end is stock and in good working order.

Brakes:  The brakes have been gone through and in good working order with the master cylinder being replaced.

Summary:  This car represents and very nice survivor convertible with the added dealer Sport Roadster package that is original and not recent aftermarket.  Makes a great weekend cruiser and parade car.  All the hard work has been done so one can now just enjoy driving the car.  I have over 100 pictures of the car so please contact me and provide your email address if you would like additional pictures.  Don’t miss out on this affordable ride.

Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.

Here are the best-selling cars and trucks from January 2015

Fri, Feb 6 2015

Every month, Autoblog slogs through all the sales figures reported by automakers that do business in the United States, and, after a little bit of sorting, we put it into an easy-to-read chart in an attempt to make it as easy as possible to follow the ins and outs of sales and shipments. But that only covers the brands themselves, not the individual models they sell. And we think you'd all be interested in knowing which vehicles beat their rivals in sales from month to month, so we've put together this handy gallery to keep you in the know. While the leader of the pack may not come as much of a surprise, the order that the top ten finishes in changes frequently – due to automaker deals, the price of gas, etc. – and we've included some statistics to help you see how their current performance stacks up to month's past.
