LOW MILE 75TH ANNIVERSARY CAR
RARE SPECIAL EDITION

ULTRA RARE TTOP OPTION & 400 ENGINE


1978 FORD THUNDERBIRD
DIAMOND JUBILEE "T-ROOF CONVERTIBLE"


27,000 original miles



This original Diamond Jubilee is the most sought after of the Thunderbirds.
This is only the fourth of these wonderful Special Edition  cars we have had in the last six years.

The Diamond Jubilee was a series of 18,994 cars made to commemorate the 75th anniversary
of Ford Motor Company. They were loaded with special trim features making the instantly
recognizable as not your standard Thunderbird...


Diamond Jubilees TBirds were mostly produced in Diamond Blue Metallic, but other
colors could be ordered. In March, 1978 at the end of the model year, they first offered the
Diamond Jubilee in Polar White. This car was likely a special order car due to it's rare options.

First the car was produced withe the rare "T-Roof Convertible" option. I know there were
likely several produced, but this is the first one I have ever seen as a Diamond Jubilee.
This car also has the rarest engine option, the 6.6 Liter 400 cubic inch V-8.

This car has had an excellent original Polar White and the special factory painted pinstripe.
Mint original Ember landau vinyl roof and the special DJubilee rear windows.
Mint original Jubilee Ember leather & vinyl interior. Original carpet, door panels, & headliner.

Mint dash with special Rosewood trim and full gauge package.

Ice cold air conditioning

Ultra-rare T-top option

This car is equipped with the factory 400 cubic inch engine
with two carburetor and automatic transmission.

Special factory color coordinated Turbine wheels and newer radial tires.

Petersen Museum celebrates 50 years of Ford Mustang with special exhibit

Mon, May 5 2014

If you're a pony-car enthusiast, this is your year. Not only has Ford introduced an all-new Mustang, but it's also the 50th anniversary of the original. Celebrations and commemorations have been scheduled throughout the year, and not the least of them is the latest exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Called "Mustangs Forever: 50 Years of a Legend", the exhibit includes Mustangs from every generation of the iconic pony car, including the 1965 convertible Ronald Reagan drove during his California gubernatorial campaign, a 1971 Mach 1 Cobra Jet, a 1974 Mustang II, 1993 SVT Cobra, 2000 Cobra R and a 2006 Shelby GT-H. Special sections focus on motorsports, aftermarket modifiers and limited-edition models. The display opened on Sunday with the Mustang Madness spectacular and will run for the next six months, but if you're not heading to Southern California within the coming half-year then you can scope out all the action in our live gallery of photos above.

Old vs. new debate gets new life with $25,000 Fiesta ST vs. E46 M3 showdown

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

You know who you are. There's probably a few of you reading; the ones that say, "Why would I spend $27,000 on a new Mazda MX-5 when I could get a used Chevrolet Corvette with more power." Yes, we're talking to you, used car proponents. While it is a fair argument, it's not like used cars don't come with drawbacks of their own, though.
In an attempt to put this new-versus-used argument to bed once and for all, Matt Farah of the The Smoking Tire has picked up a pair of $25,000 cars - a used, but lightly modified, 2003 BMW M3 and a 2013 Ford Fiesta ST. Naturally, there's a comparison.
Farah, as he's wont to do, does get into the nitty gritty of what each car is like to drive, and discusses the merits of used and new-car shopping. But as he rightly points out while testing the M3, "So, it is a good car. But like any used car, it really does depend on the individual car."

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
