For Sale: A very nice looking and driving 1962 Ford Thunderbird Landau. This one is a fairly rare color, Diamond Blue (a special order Lincoln color). This shade of light blue looks very good with its contrasting Black Landau roof. The excellent and correct interior is a few shades darker than the exterior, providing additional and attractive contrast. The engine runs well and is the original 390 V-8. The odometer reads 21,349. Judging by the condition of the original interior, this may be actual miles, but I cannot prove that. The previous owner thought the miles were actual. The automatic transmission shifts nicely. The car runs and drives nicely, but has been in storage without being driven since November of last year. Everything on the car works. The paint is nice, but not perfect. The landau top is in very good shape. The chrome is very shiney and solid and the stainless is also very nice. All of the trim is in good condition and the glass is clear all around. The original interior is in excellent condition. The interior chrome is good, steering wheel nice, great dash and headliner. The door panels look great and even the carpet and floor mats are nice. The colors are correct inside and out. Yes, this Thunderbird does have the common exhaust manifold leak that probably new donuts will fix. The trunk does have some surface rust and will need a new trunk kit ( mat and sideboards). The underside is very solid and looks good. The driver's side lower bumper has a blemish that the previous owner painted over with silver chrome-type paint. There is a small scuff/shallow dent on the passenger's side front wheel well lip that is not seen in the photos. My wife barely scuffed the garage side parking night. I guess I can forgive her.
Overall, this is a very nice 1962 Thunderbird that can be driven right away. The wide white wall tires really set off the light blue and black of the car. The ride is veryy smooth and comfortable. These '61-'63 Thunderbirds were very low, long, and heavy cars with a solid feel.
Please feel free to ask any questions. Sold in as-is condition. Personal inspection is encouraged.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost
Fri, 16 May 2014Earlier this week, Ford invited us to Charlotte, NC, to ride in an all-new 2015 Mustang fitted with its turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. It's the first forced-induction, four-cylinder ponycar for the Blue Oval since the sun set on the 1986 Mustang SVO. We jumped at the opportunity, as only a handful of people have ever been in the passenger seat of this new car, and most automotive media won't get as close as we did until this fall.
As we revealed in our Deep Dive, Ford will slot this new turbocharged four as premium powerplant between its naturally aspirated 3.7-liter V6 and the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8. At last mention, the automaker said the direct-injected, all-aluminum engine will develop 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, returning the best fuel economy of the three powerplants in the process. History buffs will note that those figures are appreciably stouter than the 200 horses and 240 lb-ft that the '86 SVO realized out of the same displacement, and the latter's figures were hugely impressive at the time. On paper, the new EcoBoost four looks to be a good fit for most owners who want to balance performance with efficiency - we were eager to see how it felt from the passenger seat.
Riding Notes
V6 engines will outpace V8s for the 2015 Ford F-150
Wed, 23 Jul 2014How times have changed. Even five years ago, who would have thought the mighty V8 would be just another engine choice for buyers of the 2015 Ford F-150?
Ford is projecting about 28 percent of the next-generation trucks will have the 5.0-liter V8. That's nothing to sneeze at, but consider this: Ford figures its two EcoBoost truck engines - the new 2.7-liter V6 and the existing 3.5-liter V6 - will also each account for about 28 percent of the F-150's sales (56 percent total). That leaves only 15 percent of the pie for the 3.5-liter (non-EcoBoost) V6. The new F-150 goes on sale late this year.
