Hemet, California, United States

1962 ford thunderbird convertible. Very original, factory Rangoon Red and black interior car. Lived in California's dry climate it's entire life. It has been well up kept overall over the years, and very clean and original for its age. Still retains it's original black and yellow CA license plates issued in 1963! I bought this car from a nice older lady who's deceased husband had loved the car. T-bird was out of service prior to my ownership about 7 years.

I recently had its original 390 engine with 90k miles on it overhauled. It had some blow by, so I had it completely professionally rebuilt. Runs excellent, and engine is all correct down to the paint colors. Quality battery only 3 months old. I have not gone through transmission or brakes but, they are in working order. It has a cool set of chrome baby moon 15" rims that are presently on it. Tires have plenty of tread but, are old and should be replaced prior to any long distance or regular use (I have 4x stock Ford 14" steel wheels included, which I was intending on putting stock new whitewalls on). You have the choice. Original shop manual and original red fender skirts included also.

Interior is nice and appears original. Not perfect but, I wouldn't change much. Still has thunderbird floor mats. I have new replacement dash in box included as original dash has 2 cracks. Power windows all work well. Gauges all work (not clock), heater works fine (I had heater core replaced $$$), fan sticks on intermittently, I will try and have it fixed but can't guarantee in time. Power top motor is bad (they are available now new), all other related electrics appear in good clean workable condition. Needs new soft top, bows etc all in good or better condition. It's all there. Very clean car!

Paint looks to be the original (or a very old proper repaint). Nice presentable condition, some blemishes, chips, scratches but, too few to warrant any immediate repaint, you decide. I like a little patina myself! Chrome is very nice. No rust on this car! Honest solid vehicle.

Clear California title in hand. Like with any antique or classic I recommend flat bedding/trailering any great length, until you are comfortable with the cars performance, it is a safer smarter bet. (it does need new set of tires anyway). I do not transport but I can assist on this end. Located in Hemet Ca., 92544.

Priced to sell, don't play the waiting game, if you want it and can pay for it simply bid!. Buy it now offers will be considered. Dollar for dollar car for car this is the best deal around. I don't have time or space for it, my loss.

50 year old unrestored car, no warranty.

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Who says executives aren't people? This past weekend, Bill Ford, executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, and a group of employees trekked up to Eagle River, WI for a few games of pond hockey. Team Ford took part in the 2014 Labatt Blue/USA Pond Hockey Championship, capturing its fifth title in the 50+ Tier 1 Division.
"It feels great to win," Ford, who plays on the team alongside other Ford employees, told the USA Hockey website. "It was fun to play [River Valley Pioneers] because they're great guys and we play them every year. We finally beat them, which we were due. It was a very clean game, a tough game."
The FoMoCo team managed to score seven goals to River Valley's two, and went undefeated in all five of its games during the tourney. Take a look below for the official press release on Team Ford's win.

Ford to auction Mustang Cobra Jet prototype for charity [w/video]

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Prototypes developed by major automakers typically remain in said company's custody, but every once in a while, one trickles out into private hands. And that's just what we have here. Ford is donating a one-of-a-kind factory prototype for the 2014 Mustang Cobra Jet that will be auctioned off later this month by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 mated to a T4 competition gearbox, this rare Cobra Jet prototype includes a wheelie bar, chromoly roll cage, Weld wheels, three-link rear suspension, racing brakes, 9-inch rear axle and more. It's painted in a unique satin orange with reflective gray striping scheme, bears the serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1 and is fully ready for NHRA competition on the drag strip.
To be offered with no reserve on Saturday, September 28, 2013, the Cobra Jet prototype's winning bidder will also receive tutelage at Roy Hill's Drag Racing School in Sophia, NC, along with tours of the Ford Product Development Center, Ford Racing headquarters and Ford Design Studios with Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak. Scope out the video and details below for what could be the ultimate Mustang experience for a good cause.
