The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

I am selling my 1971 Ford Thunderbird. The interior is very nice and decent. New carburetor, new gaskets, new power steering pump, new power steering box and new power steering line have been installed. I will include copies of the the service receipts. Tires are new with race car wheels but I also have the original wheels for the T-Bird. The car will need a steering column which I never installed because it is a little noisy when making a full left u-turn only but it is not something that happens too often. Vehicle starts up and drives wonderfully and has some minor cosmetic defects as shown in the images. There is a rust spot on the right passenger side and a couple of minor tears in the front seat but relatively small. The back seat is in great condition and the overall body is in great condition. The door panels on both the left and right passenger side are incomplete but that's all that's left. Power windows do work. Everything is kept original including the original radio. The original T-Bird floor mats are still on the floor.

I will include the original Ford operation manuals and the original owners manual. I will also include the original T-Bird hub caps and the car cover specifically made for the T-Bird. The dash has no cracks and I will include the dash cover which protects the dash from UV exposure to prevent cracks.

Car is for sale locally and will be removed if sold. If the reserve price has been met then I will not remove the listing from Ebay. The local asking price is $4500.00 however the reserve price is less than that.

In fairness to all bidders I will not disclose the reserve. I have added a buy it now since I know I will get requests but the reserve is lower than that. Car is for sale as is where is. I have done my best to describe it but please understand that it is 42 years old and not perfect. Car is available for inspection by appointment. Bidders with less than 10 feedback's must contact me before bidding or I will cancel your bid. $500 deposit due within 48 hours of auction end, full payment within 7 days of auction end. Payment by cash, wire transfer or cashier’s check. All cashier’s checks must clear before car or title will be released. Car must be picked up within 21 days of auction end unless prior arrangements are made. International bidders are welcome but shipping from car’s current location is responsibility of buyer.

Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.

Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.

2015 Ford Focus ST zooming toward Goodwood reveal [w/video]

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

Ford has quite a party ready for the Goodwood Festival of Speed starting on June 27. Not only is the 2015 Mustang going to be driving in front of the European public for the first time, the Blue Oval is also unveiling its 2015 refresh for the Focus ST.
Official details about the latest Focus hot hatch are practically nonexistent at this point. Ford's teaser image shows narrower headlights, and the company says that the ST also benefits from the technical and quality improvements from the refreshed standard model, which likely means an even more Aston-Martin-like grille. However, any improvements for the power or handling are a mystery for now.
Ford will even give visitors to the festival the chance to drive the new ST - at least virtually. Gran Turismo 6 kiosks will be on hand with the hot hatch loaded up to race the Goodwood Hill Climb. There will also be real-time races between former Stig Ben Collins in the real ST challenging a player up the hill in the game.
