1977 FORD THUNDERBIRD ONE OWNER 1,924 ACTUAL MILES NO RUST ALL ORIGINAL ABSOLUTELY STUNNING Before describing this car, it is important for me to note that it has NOT been cleaned up for pictures. How you see it in the pictures, is how it came out of the garage. The motor was NOT repainted and the motor was NOT shined up. I wanted to highlight the originality and its true condition so that potential buyers can appreciate the vehicle and relish in the rarity of its condition and miles. This 1977 Ford Thunderbird was purchased brand new on Febuary 14th, 1977 from Midway Ford in St. Paul Minnesota. The original Purchase Agreement and Billing Invoice highlights the following options it came with: 351 Engine($92), Factory Air Conditioning($521), Tinted Glass($61), AM/FM Radio + Tape deck($193), Wire Wheel Covers($99) and a few other options that I can't quite make out. The car was purchased brand new for $6,486.56 including vehicle option, sales tax and license fees. This beauty has graced the road with her presence for ONLY 1,924.9 miles. The condition of the vehicle hasn't changed since 1977 with the exception of a small crack in right part of the windshield. If you ask me to describe the condition of the vehicle, SHOWROOM condition is all that is necessary to say. It is that nice. This is one of the cleanest and most original, if not the cleanest, 1977 Ford Thunderbirds you will ever have the opportunity to purchase. The 351 engine starts and runs beautifully. The transmission shifts perfect. Everything works perfect. Everything is completely original and rust free. The undercarriage, trunk, interior, and engine bay are absolutely excpetional and indicate actual miles. This is so original it still has it's original tires. All supporting documentation include: The Original Purchase Agreement and Billing Invoice from Midway Ford, Original Ten Day Temporary Permit, Original 1977 Thunderbird Sales Brochure, and the even the Original Title. THIS IS A ONE OF A KIND CAR THAT I ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME VIEW AND DRIVE! PLEASE ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS! I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO SEND ADDITIONAL PHOTOS. It would be hard to find a nicer example, anywhere. You only come across the best of the best once in a while and these cars are only original once!
This is truly a fine example of a Classic Thunderbird. |

Woman reunited with stolen Mustang after 28 years
Sun, Dec 28 2014An enthusiast Christmas story: Salinas, California resident Lynda Alsip bought a 1967 Ford Mustang in 1984 when she was 17 years old, having saved $800 after a summer of toil at a grocery store. She got a vanity plate that read "LYNDA67," for the year she was born, but she only got to enjoy the car for two years: in 1986, after a night out, someone stole it from her apartment complex. She hadn't seen it since. Then a man – another Salinas resident – tried to register the car at the DMV this year. He said he bought it as a project car in 1991, yet the DMV couldn't find any record of it. The DMV office sent the case of the untraceable car to the California Highway Patrol, where Officer Christopher Menchen dug into the records, and his search paid off. The officer located Alsip's stolen record report from 1986 and connected the Mustang to it's registered owner in 1986, who was Alsip's mother. The CHP found the forest green Mustang in the man's garage, and they figure it's been there since 1991. After waiting through the still-ongoing three-month investigation, the CHP reunited Alsip – now a wife and a mother of two – with her car on December 22. It's undriveable, but her original vanity plate is back on and she plans to restore it. The video above has the story.

Galpin Auto Sports and Fisker turn the Mustang into a Rocket in LA [w/video]
Thu, Nov 20 2014Galpin Auto Sport and Henrik Fisker made big promises about the Rocket before its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show today, calling it the "ultimate American muscle car." Now that this 725-horsepower carbon-fiber Ford Mustang has officially been revealed, we've now got a chance to see if their vision backs up all the bluster. The Rocket is based off the latest 2015 Mustang, but the entire exterior design has been substantially reworked by Fisker. "This is a project born out of passion, it's a dream come true, to have the opportunity to 'touch' a Mustang and apply my design ideas to it," he says in the model's announcement. The biggest changes come up front, where Fisker has added a gaping hexagonal grille with a polished bar running and two nearly hidden driving lights at the top corners. Long nostrils run down each side of the hood, taking their inspiration from the 1968 Shelby GT500. The Rocket's design also emphasizes its scalloped sides, which run back to functional ducts at the rear to cool the Brembo Grand Turismo brakes. When checking out the Rocket from the rear, it's easy to spot the wider fenders that are beautifully blended into the integrated spoiler. The interior has been left mostly alone beyond some eye-grabbing red leather and carbon-fiber trim. Under the hood, Galpin spokesperson Nathan Hoyt has confirmed to Autoblog that the Rocket employs a 5.0-liter V8 with a Whipple supercharger which can be called to attention with a six-speed manual gearbox. It took only a few months for the vehicle to go from conception to reality. Fisker showed Galpin President Beau Boeckmann early sketches at this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and the two parties went from there. "When Henrik showed me his ideas, I got chills - it's literally the most beautiful Mustang I have ever seen," says Boeckmann in the company's release. Production is set to begin in December, with deliveries starting in early 2015. There's no set production total in mind for now, but Hoyt tells Autoblog that the price will be "just over $100,000."
