I am the second owner. The original owners (Mother & Son) had this car from 1966 to 2013. The son is now retired and preparing for a move to Colorado. He already has two projects going with him, so mom's car had to go. He had the car on non-operation with the DMV from 2003 until 2013 when I registered it. He had been restoring it from the bottom up for 10 years. This is what has been done to the car by the previous owner. Rebuilt Engine and Carburetor. It is the "Z" code 390 high compression engine. Re-painted engine compartment while the engine was out. The Choke works and it runs beautifully. Rebuilt C-6 transmission. THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST TO RECEIVE THE NEW C-6 TRANSMISSIONS. They changed to the new trans. in November of 1965 and this car's production date is 11-23-1965. It starts and drives fantastic! I recently did an oil & transmission filter change. The underneath looks flawless. All bushings, tie rods, grease fittings are in perfect shape. He was prepping for paint so you either see the original Blue paint, brown primer or Metal. There are only three dings in the body and 3 small spots where body repairs were done in the past. I have 99% of all inside and outside moldings, trim, lights, etc. The only thing missing is the antenna (base is there) and the side moldings (although most Thunderbirds do not have these). If you want the link let me know ebay does not allow links. They were $283 when I checked on 1-24-14. Brakes are all in excellent shape and the car stops straight. What is left is the Cab and paint. The gauges all work, the radio comes on, but with no real antenna I am not sure if it will get any stations. The sequential turn signals work. I was able to get all the windows to work. All vacuum lines to the cab have been disconnected while I was fine tuning the motor. I wanted to make sure the engine has no vacuum leaks. Interior needs a headliner and front seat needs to be re-done. The dash has cracks and the tops of the door panels have some cracking. Since he had the car sitting for 10 years I went ahead and replaced the following – cap, rotor, spark plug wires, spark plugs, antifreeze, oil and filter, trans. filter. There is a $500 non-refundable deposit due within 48 hours of auction. Please ask any and all questions, I have a lot more pics of the car so if you need something specific let me know and include your email. Car will be listed locally so I reserve the right to end auction early. Thanks for looking & Good luck

Best 3rd Row SUVs of 2024

Wed, Oct 19 2022

If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here areÂ our two top choices.Â OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (theÂ Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must.Â Â In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row CrossoverÂ |Â Â Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUVÂ |Â Â Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.

Signature Edition Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake to get limited production run

Mon, Dec 22 2014

The upcoming Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang keeps grabbing a horde of headlines thanks in no small part to the pony car's 5.2-liter V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft, magnetic dampers and other go-fast goodies. However, as the new contender enters the ring, Shelby American is saying goodbye to the old GT500 and the company's even more powerful Super Snake version with its new Signature Edition model. Limited to a total of 50 conversions on 2007-2014 coupe or convertible GT500s, the Shelby American Signature Edition packages some of buyers' most common choices into a single vehicle with a few extra touches, as well. The heart of it all is a 3.6-liter Kenne Bell supercharger to replace the V8's standard blower and take power up to a claimed 850 horsepower for the latest models. To keep things running at the proper temp, the mill gets an upgraded radiator, heat exchanger and aluminum cooling tanks, too. The rear brakes are also improved to slow this stallion down. In addition to the boosted power, buyers get some extra style. These special Super Snakes are available in all of the colors available on them from Ford, plus a range of shades for the stripe, and the wide body package can also be added as an additional option. The limited version wears 20-inch forged wheels from Weld that are 9.5-inches wide at the front and 10.5-inches at the rear and feature Signature Edition center caps. Inside, there's a commemorative badge with Shelby's signature on the airbag cover and Signature Edition floor mats. Finally, customers get a day training at the track to learn how to control this beast as part of the package. Orders for the Signature Edition are being accepted through January 31, 2015, and the modded model is priced at $44,995.00, which is in addition to the price of the stock GT500. Read below for Shelby American's full announcement of this limited Mustang. SHELBY AMERICAN'S SIGNATURE EDITION GT500 SUPER SNAKE PACKAGES TO HONOR FINAL 2007-2014 MODEL YEAR CARS NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE · Shelby American to offer 50 total Signature Edition Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snakes Â· Special badging and stripe colors offered for every model year for first time in history Â· Offer expires January 31, 2015 LAS VEGAS Â– Dec. 20, 2014 Â–Shelby American, a wholly owned subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc. (CSBI:PK), has unveiled a Signature Edition Super Snake package to honor the end of production for the current generation Ford Shelby GT500.

Performance cars driving sales gains

Wed, Jun 3 2015

We're living in a fantastic time for performance cars. For drivers, there are a bevy of exciting models either already here or on the way that cater to different demographics within the niche, like the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata, Ford Shelby Mustang GT350 and Dodge's Hellcat-powered products. While trucks and crossovers still offer a booming market at the moment, sporty vehicles are another way for automakers to make some cash, too. According to Ford Performance director Dave Pericak speaking to Automotive News, "Performance vehicle sales around the world continue to grow – with sales up 70 percent in the United States and 14 percent in Europe since 2009." Automakers love this popularity because the sporty models create a perfect storm to make big money on each sale. One reason for the strong margins is that performance vehicles are generally based on existing models or platforms. That keeps development costs lower and allows for a focus on tech like turbocharging or light-weighting to subsidize investments for future products. When it comes time to arrive in the showroom, automakers can load them with equipment, according to Automotive News. With transaction prices already growing thanks to longer loans, buyers have been willing to pay more as of late, as well. The customers in the segment also tend to be younger and more affluent. For example, 30 percent of customers for Ford's ST models have a household income over $100,000 and Millennials buy them twice as much as other products from the brand, according to Automotive News. Despite popular myths, young people still like to drive, which could mean possible return customers. The performance trend certainly isn't on the wane yet. In fact, vehicles like the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Focus RS and Fiat 124 Spider show more fun is on the way.
