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

Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.

Editors' Picks February 2021 | Ford F-150, Genesis GV80, Mazda CX-30 and more

Wed, Mar 10 2021

If we’ve driven and reviewed it, thereÂ’s an Autoblog Rating for it. ItÂ’s been over two years since we launched a new rating system to help you evaluate cars at a glance. We tweaked and improved it along the way and quickly arrived at a consistent process for giving each and every car on sale today a fair score. Cars that are exemplary or stand out in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. Every car we rate gets a score from 1 to 10, making it easy for you to tell if itÂ’s a car worth pursuing and possibly purchasing. YouÂ’ll find the scores of previously-rated cars attached toward the top of our written reviews. For example, the Bronco SportÂ’s rating can be found here. The Acura TLXÂ’s rating is in this post, and the Nissan RogueÂ’s rating is right here. There are hundreds of examples to be found. The above examples make up the most natural ways to find the Autoblog rating when researching for your next car, but starting today, weÂ’re going to begin calling out each new set of Editors' Picks per month in their own breakout stories. This will put the newest and most recently refreshed cars on sale on a pedestal for you to see which ones are worth your while. WeÂ’ll typically rate anywhere between 5-10 new cars per month, so you can count on just a select few from those to make this list. Expect to see this recurring ratings post each month going forward, and read on for FebruaryÂ’s EditorsÂ’ Picks. Â 2021 Genesis GV80 2021 Genesis GV80 View 18 Photos Quick take:Â The stylish GV80 offers useful safety features, compelling design and sporty dynamics to push it near the top of the segment. Genesis takes risks with this aggressive crossover, and the result is a luxurious vehicle that is rewarding to drive. Score: 8.5 What it competes with:Â Lincoln Aviator, Volvo XC90, BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, Acura MDX, Lexus RX Pros:Â Beautiful design, good road manners, awesome value Cons:Â Small third row and cargo space, less comfortable standard suspensionÂ From the editors: Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore Â— Â“The GV80 is a hugely important vehicle for Genesis. It makes a style statement, has an elegant interior and is a compelling all-round execution. It looks like a Bentley, and I give Genesis props for taking some risks with the GV80 and largely pulling it all off.
