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 flips switch on GT350, GT350R configurators
Tue, Aug 11 2015Today is the day, folks. If you've been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to configure your ideal Shelby GT350 Mustang, you need to get over to the Ford consumer page and check out the new online builder tool. You can design your ideal GT350 or go hardcore and build an R model. It's all there, including exterior colors, stripe options, and the limited array of optional packages. Everything has prices, with the GT350's starting price coming in just a smidge above what we reported in late May. The base model kicks off at $48,695 while the R adds $13,500 to the total. That means both versions of the Shelby significantly undercut more mainstream and more hardcore competitors. For example, you can get into a GT350R for $62,195, or $3,000 less than a completely basic BMW M4 and $12,805 less than a Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. In fact, even a fully loaded GT350R, with stripes, a painted roof, and the $3,000 Electronics Package (Sync 3, dual-zone climate control, rear-view camera, a seven-speaker stereo, and SiriusXM satellite radio) and you'll still come in at over $8,600 less than the Z/28. As for the GT350, its $48,695 starting price should give pause to anyone thinking of purchasing a high-priced Germans while also stealing some Camaro 1LE customers. Head over to Ford's configurator and build up your ideal car. Finding the GT350 is a bit tough at first, so just be sure to scroll to the bottom of the body style menu on the left side of the page and select "Shelby Fastback," then have at it. Related Video:
More 2015 Ford Mustang pricing information leaks [UPDATE]
Tue, 20 May 2014The big news this morning was that the 2015 Ford Mustang would start at $24,425, including its destination pricing. The big news this afternoon is, well, bigger.
Mustang6G.com has come up with what it claims is pricing info for the entire Mustang line, rather than just the V6. That means we know all about the EcoBoost and GT prices now, which, when combined with the dealer order sheets we reported on last week, gives us our clearest look yet at how the Mustang can be outfitted (we're still a bit short on pricing info for some standalone options, like paint premiums and such).
The base EcoBoost starts at $25,995, while the GT rings up at $32,925.
Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.
