***Listing update *** This may be really good news for someone. It wasn't so good for me. True story. I was touring around this weekend as i really had not had the car out at all this year and wanted to make sure all was to be expected, well it turns out it wasn't. The car ran fine, i actually had a good time driving it around. However, after i moved it back in the garage i noticed some transmission fluid had been leaking. I brought the car in to my mechanic Monday. While we had it on the lift we determined it seemed to be coming from the seal in the shifter. I took it over to the a highly reputable transmission repair shop in our area. Although it was the transmission, I was hoping it would not be any real problems. Well they checked it out today and informed me the transmission should be rebuilt. They quoted me a cost for them to rebuild it, using all Ford OEM parts, of 2500 plus tax. This really isn't work i want to take on and instead would rather pass along a potential great deal to someone else. Therefore, after much interest in the car, i am dropping the BIN price by 5,000, that's twice the cost of repair!!. So if you were interested, perhaps this a great opportunity for you. I am happy to organize the shop work to be done for you and you could pay them direct. Or you could buy it as is and arrange your own repair or do the work yourself. Anyway, not a real good day for me. It was likely this would need to be done at some point in this car's future so for some future owner it's better it happened now. Thanks for your interest please feel free to ask any additional questions. **** This Thunderbird is really an awesome car from a fantastic period of American autos. Best of all, this is a driver that you will be proud to be seen cruising around. And you will be seen. No matter where you live this will be a one of kind attention getter. Be prepared for compliments. This gorgeous convertible t-bird is in really good condition, but it is not a showroom vehicle, but it's also a third the price and ready to roll. Everything is original and if desired, would make a great car to fully restore to showroom, but really, the true value of this car is it one you can get out on the road and enjoy. The white on red interior was highly desired and in short supply. There are not many with this beautiful combination. The majority of these were delivered with black interior and when your cruising, top down, in the sun, black is not what you want. You absolutely want the white interior. The upholstery is in just good condition. It is bright and clean but It shows wear. The driver seat has a 6 inch split in the seat and a smaller one on the side. The red carpet is in good shape but there is a small wear spot on the passenger floor about the 3 inches in diameter. It's not a hole or rip but just a bare spot. The mechanics are all sound, it runs well. The body is in excellent condition, there's no rust or dents. It is the original paint and it still has a high shine, there are however several chips and dings and just small spots of missing paint that have all been touched up. Most notable is a series of door dings that have been touched up. It has been this way since the 80's when I believed the older gal that owned it would open the door into some pole or some object in the garage. They don't stand out, you have to look for them. But they are there. The tonneau cover makes this Thunderbird convertible extra special. It makes it a sleek two seater and a great ride for date night. This was a factory delivered extra that are very rare. Very few Tbirds came this way Today they sell separately for anywhere form 3 to 5 grand. It is in good condition, it is made from fiberglass, chrome and padded vinyl. It does have scratches and nicks that have been touched up. It is easily put on and taken off and it can be left on when the roof is up, however the securing screws should be in place as I believe that the scratches were caused by the roof when it was not properly bolted in place. This car came with all the extra's, power windows, power steering and air conditioning which unfortunately is not working, but hey it's a convertible. It also has the signature sliding steering wheel that makes it fun and easy to get in and out. The luggage rack on the back trunk is a real pleasing design extra. The white convertible top is good condition and the plastic window is crystal clear. It is also fully automatic! The trunk lifts and the top retracts and stows away inside with just the touch of a button. Ford really designed this well for the Thunderbird. It is by far one of the best designs for a fully automatic retracting top on any convertible on the road. All in all, for 50 years old this is a great automobile, although its not perfect it will be one you will be very fond to drive. You're family and friends will simply love to ride in it. Especially, when you have your local oldies station tuned in to the original am radio with front and rear speakers which provide great ambiance even with the top down. This Thunderbird is priced to sell and with tonneau cover included is a great value. It is projected to not only hold its value but increase over time, and with literally all parts for this car still easily available and reasonably priced from vendors such as tbheadquarters.com you can continue to maintain and enhance this car over time.

Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
Saleen SA-30 Mustang, Camaro and Challenger help celebrate the big 3-0
Fri, 22 Nov 2013After 30 years of tuning performance cars and building racecars, Saleen is celebrating its racing heritage with a limited-production car line called SA-30. Based on the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, Saleen will only build 10 of each SA-30 model at a base price of $95,000.
For that money, buyers will get upgraded suspension, brakes and engines, and while the power figures have not been released for the SA-30 620 Camaro and SA-30570 Challenger models, the SA-30 302 Mustang will be the top performer with 625 horsepower. Each car will be painted up in a custom pearl white hue with black and yellow accents, and get white wheels shrouding yellow powder-coated brake calipers. Inside, the SA-30 offerings will all get a proper Saleen interior with black leather and white Alcantara on the seats, along with the expected smattering of SA-30 badges.
On all three SA-30 models, customers will have various options available to further customize their cars, including a rear-seat delete option that transforms each car's cabin into a race-inspired interior with a chassis-strengthening rear cross brace. Perhaps the coolest feature of all, though, is the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass that is an option on the SA-30 302 Mustang. Similar to the Mercedes Sky Control roof first introduced on the Mercedes SLK, the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass allows the Mustang's optional glass roof and rear window to be switched from transparent to opaque at the push of a button.
2013 Shelby 1000 unleashes its 1,200 horsepower ahead of NY show reveal
Fri, 22 Mar 2013True story: Last fall, I had the opportunity to spend a week with Ford's new 2013 Shelby GT500 - the Blue Oval's factory Mustang with 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque. It's an amazing beast, to be sure. I'm not sure if it was Michigan's damp streets strewn with potholes and wet leaves, but at no point did I ever say to myself, "You know, Ford is on to a really good thing here, but what it really needs is about twice the power." And yet, for people in warmer climes with infrastructure in better nick - or for those whose muscle cars live their lives out on the track, there's apparently sufficient demand to warrant just such a beast.
Quick studies will recall that Shelby American launched its 1000 last year to commemorate its 50th anniversary, but it is returning to the New York Auto Show with a fresh version based on the 2013 GT500 I drove. The 2013 Shelby 1000 whips up 1,200 horsepower on pump gas thanks to beefed-up forced induction, engine internals and cooling. Wisely, it also incorporates an adjustable suspension and big brake package to make sure those ponies have the best chance being safely deployed to the ground.
What price the world's most powerful "production" muscle car? $154,995 for starters - donor GT500 not included. What, no convertible variant?
