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 $4000.00 however the reserve price is much 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.

2015 Ford F-150 configurator is ready to go to work

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Ford is inching towards the on-sale date for the eagerly anticipated, aluminum F-150 pickup. While we're preparing to drive the new truck (expect our take on it sooner rather than later), the best-seller has reached another, albeit more minor, milestone as its online configurator has officially been switched on.
We took to Ford's consumer website to mess about with it and see just how ridiculous of a truck we can build. Among the fun things we discovered were these two nuggets - the most expensive truck we could configure was not the top-end Platinum model, but instead the King Ranch, which rang up at $65,955. The other exciting discovery? The new truck would be available in a questionable shade called Blue Jeans (shown above with the optional contrasting Caribou paint). Yep, Blue Jeans.
You can head over to Ford's consumer page and build your very own aluminum F-150 now. Take a look.

Ford not backing down on MPG-based marketing strategy

Thu, Jun 26 2014

The Blue Oval may have to back off a bit from the green messaging. Ford has had to lower fuel-economy ratings on a number of 2013 and 2014 model-year vehicles, namely its hybrids. And that may force the US automaker to rethink some of its marketing strategy, Automotive News reports. Ford has spent much of the year pushing its fuel-efficiency improvements, with everything from a Super Bowl ad saying its Fusion Hybrid gets "almost double" the fuel efficiency of an average vehicle (after the recalculation, it's now more like 75 percent better) to claiming the Fiesta is the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid in the US (it's actually the Mitsubishi Mirage) to stating the C-Max Hybrid gets better fuel economy than the Toyota Prius V (it doesn't). Nonetheless, Ford doesn't plan on changing its mpg marketing emphasis anytime soon, the company said in an e-mailed statement to AutoblogGreen. "Providing customers great fuel economy is a key part of our Ford vehicle DNA." "Providing customers great fuel economy is a key part of our Ford vehicle DNA," the company said. "We will continue to highlight our vehicles features and attributes in our advertising and marketing, which includes fuel economy and fuel-saving technologies like EcoBoost and hybrids." Earlier this month, Ford said it would lower the fuel-economy ratings of models such as the C-Max, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ Hybrids as well as most of the Fiesta line because of mistakes in the company's internal testing data. It was the second change for the C-Max Hybrid. The good news for Ford is that its fleetwide fuel economy is up almost 40 percent from a decade ago, compared to an improvement of around 23 percent for Toyota. Still, while sales of Ford hybrids and plug-ins are about even with last year through the first five months of 2014, C-Max Hybrid sales have plunged 49 percent from a year earlier. Earlier this year, Ford admitted that the first fuel economy downgrade had a negative effect on sales and we can find proof in the numbers. Before that the change was announced, in August 2013, Ford was consistently selling over 2,000 – and sometimes over 3,000 – C-Max Hybrids a month. In September, it dropped to 1,424, then to 1,438 in October. It didn't climb back above 2,000 until May 2014. The second mpg adjustment was announced in June.

Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.
