For sale is my drop dead gorgeous, beautiful 61 thunderbird convertible. If this car isn't the nicest 61 around I'd be very surprised. Super rare nautilus gray with red interior, and gorgeous. If u don't like attention, oohs and ahhs, this isn't the car for u. Rebuilt 390, runs fantastic, no issues. Just spent 1 k changing every gasket possible. All gauges work, ac works and is ice cold. Top mechanism performs flawlessly. Slaves, cylinders etc all rebuilt. Paint is flawless. Absolutely gorgeous metallic gray. Interior the same. No rips, tears in seats,or dash. Took an am-fm from a 63 and installed it in this car. Works perfectly. Original am radio is included although it needs to be repaired. This car has won more awards than I can describe....best paint, best of show, best ford, etc..... She took second in the VTCI intl convention in 2010. Tires new, alternator installed for better charging, have the original generator if desired. Engine bay spotless. She spent the first 46 yrs of life in Texas until the owner got sick at which time it came to illinois in 2006. I have receipts for all work done dating back to the 90's. There's not much more I can describe about this car. It is not your ordinary bird, it is truly spectacular. It has been lovingly cared for and driven mostly to shows. In August 2013, she was included in the Geneva IL concours d'elegance, quite an honor. It kills me to let her go but I'm thinning out the herd these days. Just sold my jaguar yesterday. I would like it to go to an appreciative home. The car is so gorgeous that JIm Powers, who Was on the design team on the car, wanted to buy it and put it in his collection. I have a picture of him with the car. He's abt 90 yrs old! Feel free to contact me with questions or to discuss an offer. Look at the pics and decide for yourself. Thanks and good luck!

Ford 1.0L takes third-straight International Engine of the Year award
Thu, 26 Jun 2014Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost is proving to be The Little Engine That Could, and it continues to acquit itself well, finding favor as one of the best powerplants in the world. To confirm it yet again, the tiny mill just won the International Engine of the Year award for the third year in a row, likewise also nabbing the title in the Sub 1.0-liter category.
Packing 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque with overboost (125 lb-ft normally), the tiny engine combines impressive power in a size small enough to be a carry-on item for a commercial flight. US buyers only got a taste of the award winner in the 2014 Fiesta, while the 1.0 EcoBoost has been available throughout the Ford lineup in Europe for a few years now. American sales have reportedly been strong, however, and next up in the US, the mill will find its way into the 2015 Focus.
The panel of 82 jury members from 34 countries also named the Mercedes-AMG 2.0-liter turbo found in the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG models with 355 hp and 332 lb-ft as the best New Engine for 2014. The electric powertrain from Tesla won Green Engine prize, and the 4.5-liter V8 from the Ferrari 458 Italia took home the honor of top Performance Engine yet again. You can check out all the winners below, and scroll down further to read Ford's celebratory announcement of its award.
