2002 Ford Thunderbird on 2040-cars
Norman, Indiana, United States
More details at: lorylrrabenstein@smallinvestors.net .
2002 Ford Thunderbird Inspiration Yellow with Yellow and Black Leather Seats. Removable Yellow Hardtop Black
Softtop. All other options as far as I know.
Selling Grandma's Thunderbird. It was the first Thunderbird sold in Indiana. Grandpa worked for Ford they also
bought the first Thunderbird in 1955. When she bought this one in 2002 the Indianapolis Star wrote up an article
about her buying both the first Thunderbirds that article is included with the sale. She actually paid $10,000
over the sticker price just so she could have the first one. I have the tag showing that. I'm 99% sure she paid
the total price almost two years before it was delivered.
The car has 15,556 miles as of today. It is in great shape. No dents that I can see. Never been wrecked. (edit
now I found out she did bump another lil old lady in 2008. There was apparently no damage though) There is one
scratch about an inch right above the license plate holder you can see in the pictures. Pretty sure that the
movers pushed the hardtop stand up into it when they were emptying her house and scratched it. Other than that I
can see nothing wrong with it. Always maintained by Don Hinds Ford the dealership she bought it from. They even
came out to her house and took the hardtop off and put it on the stand. In the last couple months it had the fuel
pump replaced for $1000 also a new battery. Runs and drives great. No mechanical problems that I know of.
Has the yellow hardtop, black soft top. The rolling storage stand for the hardtop also a soft cover for when the
soft top is down. It snaps in place I think.
Extras included Thunderbird book, diecast model car, various articles, original windshield sticker, photos, and
some other paperwork. She really loved this car. She kept all the info and paperwork the dealership gave her. I
would guess these will become collector cars in the near future, and someday all this paperwork should add to the
value.
With the low miles the car was rarely driven. She had two other cars she drove while keeping this for special
occasions. Never out in the snow or rain. I doubt this car ever went more the 20 miles from her house or above
50mph. Always filled up with the premium gas from the Shell by her house. Now she lives in a retirement home and
isn't able to drive. I know everyone tells the one owner lil old lady story, but in this instance I assure you it
is true.
Feel free to ask any questions. Car is currently in my garage. If you would like to view it I will do my best to
meet up with you. If it's shipped I will be happy to meet with the shippers and help if needed. I will be out of
town Friday & Saturday May 20-21 at a car show.

1969 Ford Talladega GPT Special is a SEMA showstopper
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.
2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition
Mon, 13 Oct 2014Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.
