Up for auction is my 1978 Ford Thunderbird Diamond Jubilee. This car was ordered from Ford by a Ford exec for his retirement. He drove it for several years and put very few miles on it. On his passing his family sold it to a dealership where it went back into the showroom and sat as a museum piece for more than 15 years. During that time it was used in a book by Alan H. Tast titled "Thunderbird, 50 Years" detailing the history of the Ford Thunderbird. There is a picture of the centerfold of this car in it and the book has been autographed by the photographer and author in 2004. It changed hands a couple of times since then in its mostly original condition. When I purchased it in 2008 I had to change out the original shocks and plug wires, spark plugs. The PO had put dual exhaust and glass packs on this beauty and that was unacceptable. I left the duals on but put a quiet muffler on it and shortened the tail pipe so that they weren't protruding beyond the bumper. They now turn down just before the bumper and are largely out of sight. The paint is very nice but cannot attest to original paint. the interior has one very minor puncture blemish on the driver seat possibly by a pen. The factory am/fm plays as it should and the rear speakers were replaced with a nice pair of Infinities that mount in the same location, no speaker grilles added to the package shelf. All options are operable, power windows, power seat, power door locks, remote mirror, cruise control, power antenna, power trunk release and seat release locks. Headlight doors remain closed even after long period of not driving, nothing that came with the car is inoperable. The tires were replaced and have very little wear. In the 5 + years I have owned this car it has probably seen less than 1000 miles per year. She drives out extremely well, looks like new and runs smooth and quiet. The doors open and close as they did from the factory with no sagging or wear on the hinges. There are no rattles or squeaks when driving down the road in this car. The AC was converted to 134 and blows cold. The trunk looks like new and has several of the factory manual that will be included as well as the Ford Diamond Jubilee 75th anniversary Recipe Collection cook book. Just some interesting kitch to be passed along with this car. This car is immaculate and beautiful as well as reliable and extremely road worthy. Please email with questions and I will send you my phone for any extra dialogue that you may require. Where this is an exceptional vehicle it is 35 + years old and should be considered as such. If you would like pictures of anything in particular let me know and I will email them to you.

Good luck and happy bidding.

Ken Block's Gymkhana 8 to feature Dubai Police cars?

Tue, Feb 23 2016

Yesterday we showed you the shiny Ford Fiesta that Ken Block will slide, spin, and hoon through the next Gymkhana video. In case the image above isn't clear, that video will drop at midnight EST on February 30th on the Ford Performance YouTube channel. We don't know all the entire premise of the video yet, but this Tweet from the man himself reveals that the video will be set in Dubai. Block is standing on the Fiesta we saw yesterday, and arrayed behind him are a handful of those famous Dubai Police cars you're probably familiar with. The force has a fleet of sportscars and supercars, and the purpose is outreach and goodwill among its citizenry, not necessarily the pursuit of criminals. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. From left to right, we can see a Maserati GranTurismo, Porsche 911, what looks to be a Nissan GT-R obscured by Block's Fiesta, a McLaren (likely a 650S), Ford Mustang, and a Ferrari 599 of some ilk. Will they take part? Maybe Block will try and run from what might be the most horsepower-intensive police fleet in the world. We'll have answers (and a few minutes of pure Block hooniganism) in a few days. Related Video:

Ford and BraunAbility team up for wheelchair-accessible Explorer

Fri, Jul 24 2015

BraunAbility, a creator of wheelchair-accessible vehicles that are usually based on minivans, has teamed up with Ford to create the MXV, a vehicle the company hails as the first of its kind. In addition to the obvious exterior modifications that include sliding doors, this Explorer-based mobility vehicle has removable driver and passenger seats and a powered ramp that nestles into the vehicle's floor. Modifications to the regular Explorer platform will allow wheelchair users to operate the MXV from the driver's position with the normal seat removed, ride along as a front passenger, or enjoy 56 inches of cabin height in the middle row, which is large enough to accommodate most power wheelchairs. Best we can tell, there are no changes to the Explorer's powertrain, which means a 3.5-liter V6 engine with 290 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque will provide motivation, not to mention 5,000-pounds worth of towing capacity. Fuel economy from the MXV matches that of the Explorer, with 17 city, 24 highway, and 20 combined. The twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 isn't available. Unfortunately, all-wheel drive also isn't available from BraunAbility due to the lowered floor necessary to make the vehicle large enough to work as a proper mobility vehicle. Even so, the Explorer looks like a pretty nice platform with which to build such a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, with good looks, good driving manners, and the kind of rugged looks you can't find in a minivan. Expect to see the MXV at BraunAbility dealers this fall, but don't expect to be first in line. Vehicle No. 1 has been promised to wounded veteran Mike Delancey, a United States Marine paralyzed by a sniper's bullet while serving in Iraq in 2006. Take a look at the images above, and feel free to peruse the press release for all the details below.
