Up for auction is a very nice 70' T-Bird which was a 1-owner California car for 37 yrs. I purchased the car from the second CA. owner two years ago and had it shipped back east. The body is very straight and is completely rust free. Car has not recently been patched and painted to conceal rust and there is no "bubbling" high or low. Older repaint retains a nice gloss which does show some wear with one softball sized area high up on the rear quarter panel where the paint is cracking (see photo). Original 429 runs good with 88k on the odometer. Original trans shifts firmly with no lag between shifts but does have a leak around the pan. Original interior is in very good cond. with no tears in the seats (see photos), Carpet and headliner are also nice.The dash pad has a crack in the typical location as most (see photo). All of the glass including the windshield is original and displays the oval car-lite emblems. The two front windows work but, the pass. window goes down halfway and starts to bind and one of the sm. rear windows does not work. Michelin tires are in good cond. Brakes are soft but, well capable of stopping the car. There are no charging issues as the car has sat for weeks with no need to recharge system. The clock does not work but, I'm including a nos clock nib with the sale. FM 8track is not connected. This very nice all original with one repaint car is well suited for someone who would like to drive and enjoy now while taking care of some mechanical issues in time. I have set a low reserve. Feel free to call Kenny @ 571-447-3315 with questions. I  have the car advertised locally and reserve the right to end the auction early upon its sale.

2015 Roush Mustang lineup officially revealed

Thu, 02 Oct 2014


Just last week, Saleen revealed initial details of its tuning program for the new Ford Mustang. And now Roush is following suit.
Available in three stages - based on the V6 (RS), EcoBoost (RS1) and V8 (RS2) models - the 2015 Roush Mustangs all feature the venerable Ford tuner's latest R7 aero kit complete with remodeled fascia, five-blade grille, gaping air dam with integrated driving lamps and splitter. Around back there's a one-piece deck spoiler and "race-inspired lower aero-valance."

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.

Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
