Hello all,
Here is a fantastic opertunity to get into a classic thunderbird convertible before the prices skyrocket. As many of you know the square birds are gaining a bunch of momentum with collectors!
Anyway, this is a 60 convertible that I have wanted to get for a long time, but I'm in the middle of an Xke and an Mga so space and time have become an issue for me. This is a greT project car needing little to be a drive as you go type resto. She runs and drives, just drove her 20 miles yesterday. Motor pulls quite well for a big car. Has a exhaust leak and a little bit of lifter tap, but for an old car she runs pretty good. Tranny shifts well and firm. With throat being said, she has not been regularly used for awhile so fluid change, carb clean etc will do wonders. Suspension is a bit sloppy, and brakes are eh.
The body on this car is why I bought her. While so many are just rusted away this one is remarkably solid. Only minor issues. No holes through that I have seen. The underside of the car looks real nice as does the trunk pan. Rockers, quarters, doors etc are all pretty nice. Trunk lid is not aligned properly. She does need a respray at some point as the paint leaves something to be desired.
Interior is workable, just depends what your doing with the car. New dash cap will do wonders. Seats are just ok, as is everything else. I have a bunch of new interior in the aqua and white color. New dash, console, door panels etc. gauges, steering wheel and chrome that I have are fantastic and is a good step towards restoration and can be included for a cost. Just would need seat covers and carpet and interior would be beautiful. The previous owner said windows and seats were working and he was going to restore the system. Not sure what he did but they are not working now, either is the top. Some gauges work, some don't.
Windshield is cracked but I have a nice replacement. Extra bumpers, and tons of misc parts can be included. Overall this is a great cosmetic resto project on a rare car. I do have a buy it now but am afraid to put it up due to scammers, please only call if serious about the car. 425-802-8682. Title was lost so a signed notarized affidavit in leau of title is included(as good as a title). thanks for looking and ask any questions as I'm sure I for got stuff.

Ford Figo concept unveiled in India
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Ford has officially unveiled the Figo Concept at the 2014 Auto Expo in New Delhi. While it may wear a concept badge, we'd argue this little sedan, which is under 12 feet long, looks ready to replace the current Figo and do battle with other B-segment cars in the world's emerging markets.
"With the Figo Concept, we are showing that choosing a compact sedan does not mean compromising on premium design or smart solutions," said Kumar Galhotra, Ford's VP of engineering, global product development. That premium design includes Ford's familial, trapezoidal grille and Fusion-esque headlights in front, while the rear end reminds us of the last-generation Focus Coupe. While that car wasn't exactly attractive, the chopped off tail looks pretty nice on this smaller car. And if you really don't like the looks of the Figo Concept, just remember - it looks better than the current production model. Aerodynamically, the Figo's shape is quite slippery, which means reduced wind noise and improved fuel economy.
As for the "smart solutions" touted by Galhotra, the narrow confines of Indian streets make driving even the tiniest cars a challenge. To give the Figo Concept a one-up on the competition, Ford has fitted power-folding mirrors that sport a "flexible architecture," which should stand up well to bumps from cars, people or bikes. We don't have any interior images, but Ford is promising a large cabin, that includes a dock that can accommodate a phone or MP3 player, allowing either to be controlled through the car.
2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.
Roush getting back into sport compact business with Focus ST mods [w/video]
Wed, 29 May 2013Roush Performance offers a whole raft of parts for folks looking to tune their Ford Mustang and F-150 models, and now Focus owners can start getting in on the hotted-up action, too. Owners of the 2012-13 Focus and 2013 Focus ST can now get a Roush cold-air intake system, and ST owners can also opt for a high-performance cat-back exhaust.
Although all of these components are now available for order, the parts will ship sometime in July; no word yet on pricing. Down the road, Roush will also offer styling upgrades for the Focus as well as performance tuning upgrades such as engine controller, suspension, wheels and tires. Scroll down for a quick video of what the Focus ST exhaust sounds like, as well as a Roush press release.
