1986 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Sedan 2-door 2.3l on 2040-cars
Richmond, Indiana, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1986 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. Was a Texas car originally from Illinois. Its 90% original no rust or any accidents ever. Everything works great on the car its ready to drive anywhere. It does great on the highway still has plenty of power and it is good on gas on the highway easily 25+ mpg. It rides really smooth much nicer than any other fox I have ever been in (although I heard the Elan t-bird was even nicer). The upgrades are off 87-88 T-bird but are stock parts the hood, intercooler, VAM, LA3 computer. The only things not factory are full exhaust header too (will pass emission) rims and it does have a one wire alternator it needed more power the factory one was really weak. The only thing this car could use is small wheel spacers on the front rubs in reverse and only if its fully turned. Other than that it dont leak or need brakes or a tune up or a battery the tires may have 2000 miles on them. The way I see it insurance is cheep its a classic the value will keep goin up. A new car has expensive insurance plates it looses value every year. Plus its different it stands out you dont see many of these and its a shame cause with just some wheels they can be very good lookin. If I cant sell it its prolly getting raped by a coyote but Id like to go to a collector or someone who appreciates its originality. Well if you have any questions message me or give me a text or call 765-977-0091. If I cant answer just leave a message. Thanks for lookin.

The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.

Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang appears at EAA Oshkosh
Sat, 26 Jul 2014Ford is back at the Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, WI, on July 31 auctioning off its seventh Mustang for charity, and this is one seriously mean looking 2015 'Stang. All of the money from the sale goes to give free introductory flights to young people to get them interested in aviation.
We recently saw this latest EAA Mustang as a sketch. However, it looks a whole lot more menacing in person. Dubbed the Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang, it takes liberal inspiration from Lockheed Martin's latest fighter jet, and the customization makes the pony car look ready for a role in Top Gun.
On the outside, the special Mustang wears titanium-color paint that's offset by a black and yellow stripe running from hood to rear. Out back things get really wild with a mix of bright yellow and black that flows diagonally all the way to the rear spoiler. The design is based on the livery of early production F-35s. If the rousing color scheme isn't enough to get you interested, the car also gets a carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser, lowered suspension and a set of custom 21-inch wheels with yellow brake calipers.
