1988 Ford Thunderbird Base Sedan 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Bossier City, Louisiana, United States
For Auction today is a 1988 Ford Thunderbird. This is the favorite Thunderbird body-style of many Thunderbird fans. This is a project car, it is in need of total restoration. I have already done the following for you and the body and interior need to be done by you, in the right hands the body and interior can easily be finished out and will be a great car in the future and will be rare and valuable. I hate to let it go but I have another one to restore, a 1997 Thunderbird plus my daily car, a Mustang, and I need to get light. New: Rebuilt engine from ATK Rebuilt Engines, rebuilt transmission, custom built with a shift kit/clutch for each gear, steering rack, belts, hoses, steering hoses, brakes, several suspension parts like control-arm bushings, alternator, PS pump, a/c compressor, radiator, evaporator and condensing coils, struts. It is a base model but it has a posi-trac rear end and rear stabilizer bar from a Thunderbird Sport. Please read these two very important points of interest: I am keeping this car within the Thunderbird community and want to pass it on to someone who loves it for the exact reasons that I do and someone who also believes the 1987-88 body style is among the very best of Thunderbirds. If you are looking for basic transportation, of a beater car or a college car or anything like that then please look elsewhere. Next, I want to inform you that there is something strange "wrong" with the car. These cars with this engine and transmission, certain year ranges of Thunderbirds and Mustangs are designed to get a certain MPG range with 27 MPG on the highway being pretty much the ceiling, which isn't bad. But for some reason this car gets 30-31 MPG on the HWY. Not sure why and not complaining. All of the above has about 30 thousand miles. Reserve is going to be set at one thousand dollars. Any questions call or text 214-554-1850 Car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. |

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
Hyundai, BMW and Ford win Concept Vehicle of the Year awards
Sat, 06 Jul 2013More than two dozen jurors started with a pool of 23 concept cars introduced at the most recent Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and New York auto shows, then pared it down to three winners in three categories for the twelfth annual North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Awards. The trophy-bearers are said to be those "vehicles most likely to shape the future of the automobile industry," and lead their classes in the Concept Car, Concept Truck and Production Preview divisions.
Hyundai had two cars as finalists for the Concept Car category, the competition boiled down to the Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis concept, Veloster C3 Roll Top, Honda EV-STER and the Toyota Corolla Furia. It won with the HCD-14 Genesis that was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show, a sharp sedan that sharply divided opinion between those who thought it was too much, those who thought it was too much Audi A7, and those who thought it was perfect. The award panel's judges, however, thought so much of it that it's got two awards in one sitting, not only taking concept car honors, but because it earned the highest overall score in the competition it also takes the crown for Most Significant Concept Vehicle of 2013.
The final selection in the Concept Truck category was down to the Ford Atlas, Kia Cross GT, Nissan Resonance and Volkswagen Cross Blue. The Ford Atlas took the silverware, after also winning the Eyes on Design award - shared with the Nissan Resonance - at the Detroit Auto Show where it was introduced.
2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.
