Here is a spectacular and ORIGINAL condition* (unrestored) 1972 Ford Thunderbird, 2 door landau with a fast 429Cu V-8 power plant with just under 58,500 original miles. This car is in mint ORIGINAL condition because it was pampered and garaged its entire life and has very low miles.

*Car was originally turquois but had a very high quality repaint to black a few years ago. Otherwise no other work has been done to the car except for periodic maintenance.

The engine runs smooth like 58,500 miles should run. It does not burn oil or smoke. It is fast and smooth. There is an occasional drip from the motor and trans.

The chrome is in like new condition. The paint is in like new condition with a few pin point touch-ups on the front. The landau material is in like new condition. The interior seats, dash, chrome and everything else is in like new condition. The dash is not cracked, the seats are not ripped or frayed, the carpet is not damaged, the head liner is not torn or sagging. The interior color is brilliant and shiny like a new car. The car as a whole is in like new condition. It is like a new car.

The air conditioning doesn't work and didn't work when I purchased the car 3 years ago. I never investigated the problem and I only assume it doesn't work because the original owner told me it didn't work. Everything else as far as I can tell works perfectly.

The car has no rust.

I do not have documentation proving that the car has 58,500 original miles but you can look at the car and see it has very low miles and was cared for. The car is originally from Colorado Springs.

Don't bid on this car if you don't want it. The $1000 deposit due 48 hours from end of auction is non refundable. Full payment is due within one week of end of auction. Buyer is fully responsible for transporting the car but you can drive the car anywhere too if you wanted to.

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.

US Air Force Thunderbirds Mustang fetches $400K at auction

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

For the last six years, Ford has created a special version of the Mustang with a military aviation theme, and then donated the car to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to be auctioned off at the annual AirVenture event, also known as The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration. The money raised goes to the EAA Young Eagles program to inspire the "aviation pioneers of tomorrow," and this year's 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition was won with a final bid of $398,000.
Celebrating 60 years of the USAF's Thunderbirds, this Mustang GT is the only one of its kind with a paint job matching the Thunderbirds' F-16 Falcon jets and some Ford Racing performance added on for good measure. Including this car, Ford has helped raise around $2.3 million for the charity with the biggest auction price coming from the first year of the program, the F-22 Raptor-inspired Mustang AV8R from 2008, which sold for $500,000.

Ford files trademark application for 'Model E'

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

In early December, Ford filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Model E." Historically, Ford never produced a Model E, and while automakers are known to file for trademarks they never use, some have wondered if the application might be used for a concept car.
Based on other recent events, though, it could be a legal move. In 2000 Ford sued an online start-up called Model E over the similarity of that name to Ford's industry-shaping Model T, but the judge dismissed the case citing lack of proper grounds. In August 2013, Tesla applied for trademark registration for Model E, and at the time, Ford said it would review the application. Tesla actually made two applications for Model E, one for automobiles and structural parts therefore, the other for "providing maintenance and repair services for automobiles," and there are plenty of theories about what the name could be applied to.
The Published for Opposition date for Tesla's applications is December 31, 2013, after which anyone who thinks they'd be harmed by Tesla being granted the trademark gets 30 days to register their issues. This is just speculation, but Ford's application - which was filed for automobiles only - might be about protecting what it sees as unwelcome encroachment on the name Model T, protection it wasn't able to enforce before when the stakes were only online and much smaller.
