Up for auction is
a 1994 Ford ThunderBird. The car is stock with one exception, under the hood is
a 32 valve DOHC InTech 4.6 liter V8. The motor is similar to that of the
Mustang Cobra of 2002 through 2004 with the exception of the supercharger. Also
the Mercury Marauder has the DOHC engine as well. This motor was liberated from
a 1995 Lincoln Mark VIII with only 65k miles on it. The swap was done 3 and a
half years ago and after not quite a year of driving it was parked due to the
lack of interest of my friend I helped do the swap. The Good; The car comes with an SCT Programmer loaded with a custom tune done by Lonnie Doll of Blue Oval Chips, Inc. It is not a radical tune, as the engine is stock, so it runs great on regular 89-octane fuel. All the engine wiring is stock with the exception of an added MSD Window Switch, which opens the additional 8 intake runners at 3000 RPM. The 3000-RPM “Pill” can be changed to any RPM you desire. The brakes are good with a recent brake flush and bleed. The transmission shifts good and firm. The radiator and thermostat is new with a strong stock electric fan and does not over heat. AC blows cold, though the compressor cycles on and off, I’m not sure if that is computer controlled or if the refrigerant is low. The interior is fair, the driver seat has separated stitching and splitting. The headliner, sunroof shade and sun visors have all been reupholstered. The project was sanded and put in primer for paint, which was never completed. The original color of the T-Bird was green, but the car has been “jammed” (doors, inner engine compartment and trunk in black) not very well though. Over all she is a good runner with lots of power. The Bad; I don’t think my friend ever took the car for an alignment after the engine swap (the motor comes out of the bottom, which entails unbolting some of the suspension alignment components). Also there is a pull when driving, so an alignment is in order. The exhaust is stock and there is a leak, it is small but noticeable. When my friend called on me to “save” the car, it had been sitting for almost 2 years in his workplace parking lot. The tires, though plenty of tread is on them, are all mismatched and dry rotted. He said he started the car regularly, but it has developed a transmission pan leak. There is some bodywork left to do. Crack in the windscreen. There is a dent on the driver side, beneath the rear window as well as a small ding in the hood. Other than that and a couple of nicks, the body is great! The rear spoiler did not come factory installed on this car, and is currently not mounted due to sanding and primer. Mounting holes are drilled, and I have the correct factory bolts for it. Ready for the color of your choice. The Ugly; …None really, just needs some love. It is a good car as it is, it's what Ford should have done for a Super Coupe. I have been truthful in my description and always honest on my auctions. If you have ANY question, please feel free to ask. Thanks, Skagg. |

Next Ford Raptor spotted wearing aluminum skin
Wed, 07 May 2014Well, look at what we have here. Judging from these spy shots, Ford is indeed working on the next generation of its off-road-ready F-150 Raptor pickup truck. We've made no attempt to hide our appreciation for the Baja-style truck, which combines most of the usability of a fullsize truck with heavy-duty suspension components to make a kind of performance vehicle that is unique in the market.
What we haven't known, until now, is whether Ford would push forward with its Raptor program now that it has a completely new F-150 to serve as its base. And that's especially true since Ford made the bold move of switching the bodywork of its best-seller from tried-and-true steel to aluminum. As you can see above, the front and rear of this silver truck are clad in current-gen Raptor bodywork, while the center section that houses the occupants appears to come from the upcoming 2015 F-150.
Dissecting the views above, we note a few interesting tidbits. First, there looks to be a bulge in the truck's hood. Second, we see a new grille between the current Raptor's headlights, sporting a mesh finish and two horizontal bars. Lastly, our eyes can't help but lock in on those burly A-arm suspension pieces down below, not to mention all that ground clearance the specialty suspenders bring to the table.
Ford making Fusion production moves to challenge Camry on volume
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Ford Fusion may already beat the Toyota Camry in terms of models offered, transaction price and sales increase so far this year, but if the Fusion wants to make a run at the title of best-selling car in the US, Bloomberg reminds us that volume is key. Opening a second production line at the Flat Rock, MI assembly plant will reportedly allow Ford to produce around 350,000 Fusions annually, which compares Toyota's ability to crank out 475,000 Camrys and Honda's capacity to build around 450,000 Accords.
For the Fusion, that's an extra 100,000 units compared to the car's current pace, and the article adds that the Fusion is "Ford's best shot" to regain the passenger car sales crown - a title it (or any other US automaker, for that matter) hasn't held since the mid-1990s. Despite hiccups with recalls and fuel economy numbers, the Ford Fusion is still red hot when it comes to sales. Fusion sales are up 13 percent so far this year (compared to a 0.6 percent decrease for Camry), and its average transaction price of $26,343 is about $2,300 more than its rival from Toyota.
The Fusion's popularity has helped Ford improve its sales in California; the Dearborn-based automaker has a market share of 18 percent in the state, which is just a fraction of a percentage behind Honda. And this popularity should continue as Ford ups Fusion production and expands the model lineup even further for 2014 with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine soon to become an option.
