The Thunderbird that Ford never built. Not satisfied with the power or braking of the Super Coupe, I set out to build a reliable driver that would perform, handle, and stop the way I felt it should. I have been very pleased with the results, have really enjoyed building and driving the car, and it is now time to move on to the next project. The car is available for local pickup, any shipping is the responibility of the buyer, but I will assist in any way I can. Payment will be by cash or Pay Pal. I bought the car in 2004 with 238,000 KM on it, drove it home and dismantled it for the rebuild, completing the project in 2006. The car is totally rust free, body is very straight, no accidents to my knowledge, and the original black leather interior is in very good condition except for some minor surface cracks in the front leather bucket seats. Power is by the 4.6 Ltr. DOHC Aluminum Cobra motor and Tremec T45 transmission bought NEW from Ford Racing, which came complete with wiring harness, starter, alternator, power steering pump, AC compressor, manifolds, clutch, so everything on the motor is new. We used the SDS fully programmable engine management system and MSD DIS4 ignition, new 255 LPH fuel pump, remote oil filter, Kooks ceramic coated headers, custom built 2 1/2" all stainless steel dual exhaust, 3 1/2" alluminum driveshaft, Ford Racing 3.73 Traction Loc rear gears, subframe connectors, and stiffened independent rear suspension. All suspension parts were installed new, Tokiko programmable shocks, lowering springs, all new Moog bushings, control arms and links, factory rebuilt steering rack, tie rod ends, if it moved or turned it was replaced! New body mounts, motor mounts, transmission & differential mounts, there are no squeeks or rattles, no slack anywhere, new hubs from Ford front and rear. Brakes are from the 2002 Cobra with Baer slot drilled rotors, the stopping power is very good. The custom built dash features TPI guages. I have fully documented the entire rebuild with all receipts, all factory manuals, written rebuild manual with all part numbers listed, and many photos of the entire process. |

Ford's Farley apologizes for saying Blue Oval tracks customers with GPS
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Ford marketing head honcho Jim Farley made waves at CES this week by telling show attendees, "We know everyone who breaks the law, we know when you're doing it." according to a report by Business Insider. Farley continued by saying, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone."
Farley has since amended his statement, saying that Ford dose not, in fact, track its customers in their cars "without their approval or consent."
Apparently carried away with a hypothetical notion, Farley was attempting to describe how Ford might be able to employee aggregated user data for things like accurate traffic reporting and pattern spotting. A Ford spokesperson confirmed with Business Insider that its GPS units are not sharing the whereabouts of drivers, though there are a few on-board services that might do so. After opting in to the services (and presumably being made aware of any/all tracking and data collection), Ford's Sync Services Directions and Crew Chief software do, in fact, allow data collection as a means of improving both systems. Farley added that the opt-in data is not shared, even when being tracked.

Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
