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.

Mustang Cobra Jet prototype garners $200k for charity at Barrett-Jackson
Wed, 02 Oct 2013A few weeks ago we brought you news of a one-off Mustang Cobra Jet that Ford was donating to charity. The car was set to be auctioned off by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Now that auction has taken place, bringing in an impressive $200,000 for MS research.
That's a lot of zeros for a Mustang, much less one you can't even drive on the street. But the unique pony car, bearing serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1, packs a 5.0-liter supercharged V8, competition gearbox, wheelie bar, roll cage... all you could want, in short, in a turn-key drag racer. And all that for a good cause.
A tribute to William Clay Ford
Tue, 11 Mar 2014The passing of William Clay Ford has been a big event for the company he spent most of his life helping run. Ford spent 57 years working for his family's company. Considering the Blue Oval has been around for over 100 years, WCF's passing is the end of an era for the Dearborn-based manufacturer.
Ford's YouTube channel has issued a short memorial video highlighting the life of the longest-lived grandson of company founder Henry Ford. It follows William Clay from his time as a boy, showing him alongside his grandfather, through his younger years, and into his twilight, as the patriarch of the Ford family.
Take a look below for this touching memorial video on William Clay Ford.
Ford E-Series chassis cabs and cutaways to survive mass Transit onslaught
Fri, 18 Apr 2014In March 2013, Ford announced we'd be getting chassis cab and cutaway versions of the Transit. Since incoming Transit vans will soon be rolling over the grave of the E-Series van, it was assumed that all E-Series models would go six feet under as well. According to a report from PickupTrucks.com, however, that's not the case, the report claiming that the highly modifiable E-350 and E-450 chassis cab and cutaway versions will continue being produced in Avon Lake, Ohio "at least until 2020."
Being decades old, the be-cabbed E-Series platform has found its way under an army of heavy-duty shuttle buses, work truck and ambulances. Ford spokeswoman Jessica Enoch verified the production horizon, telling Autoblog that the particular E-Series configuration "are a higher GVWR than the Transit chassis cab and cutaway (available this summer), which is more Class 2 and a new segment for us." So there you have it.
