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 Tourneo ready for duty in Connect, Courier and Custom flavors [w/videos]

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Ford was relatively quiet at the Geneva Motor Show, but it did take the opportunity to roll out its new family of Tourneo vans: the Courier, Connect, Grand Connect and Custom. As the passenger version of the Transit cargo vans, the new range of Tourneo models vary from the B-segment Courier up to the fullsize Custom. The Connect and Grand Connect are based on the redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect.
With an overall length just three inches longer than the Fiesta hatchback, the Tourneo Courier seats four to five passengers, and it offers a choice of three engines: the 1.0-liter EcoBoost or two small diesels. Like the 2014 Transit Connect was saw in Paris last year, the Tourneo Connect comes in a five-seat configuration while the Grand Connect can seat seven. Finally, the Tourneo Custom seats up to nine passengers, and it is available in two lengths up to 210 inches long putting it just six inches shorter than a standard-length E-Series van and about a foot longer than the Explorer.

2015 Ford Focus

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

Sitting down at the pre-drive briefing with Ford engineers ahead of sampling the refreshed 2015 Focus, water bottles clinked as we wet our whistles before Q&A. While pouring a glass, we noticed something stamped on the bottle label: "1L." One liter. We were palming the exact displacement of the EcoBoost engine our group was about to drive. This was undoubtedly coincidence (such bottles litter every conference and dinner table in Europe) but it served to drive home just how small the total swept volume of Ford's wunderkind powerplant really is. It's tiny.
Of course, this isn't our first run-in with the little triple - we've sampled its turbocharged charms before in Ford's smaller Fiesta. At that time, we found it had plenty of poke for the subcompact, but the larger C-segment Focus carries around another 450 pounds or so and pushes a wider profile through the air. Would the three-cylinder have the stuffing to make the most of the Focus' athletic chassis, or would it be a letdown? Would it be the same as it was when we tested it in a Euro-spec Focus a couple of years ago? There was nothing left for it but to head out on the bucolic roads surrounding Versailles the day after the Paris Motor Show and find out for ourselves.

Ford updates Power Stroke diesel V8, strengthens F-450, tweaks King Ranch

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Ford is giving its F-Series Super Duty trucks some upgrades for 2015, and we're happy to say that one of them is an improved Power Stroke diesel V8. Also, Ford is strengthening the top-of-the-line F-450 to handle more abuse. And if wild west-style luxury is your thing, the automaker has performed minor cosmetic updates to its King Ranch Edition trucks, as well.
The turbocharged 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 is currently rated at 400 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque, and Ford only tells us the new and improved Power Stroke can "produce power beyond today's" engine. What, then, did Ford actually improve upon? First, the Blue Oval swapped in a new, larger turbocharger. The new Garrett GT37 turbine unit is 72.5 millimeters in diameter, eclipsing the old GT32's 64-mm diameter piece. Ford states output increases with the new turbo setup, but since the new turbocharger operates at a lower peak pressure than the old one, the automaker was able to eliminate the wastegate system and reduce the engine's complexity. Ford even redesigned the turbo's oil and cooling lines to make the powerplant simpler. A byproduct of the larger turbo is better engine exhaust braking, which is controlled manually by a button on the dashboard.
Ford claims the upgraded diesel engine is more powerful, more robust, more efficient and more refined than before.
