Offered for sale is this nice original 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau Edition with 89k Original Miles.  It is not a $1500.00 or $15,000 dollar car, If seeking perfection than it may be a good idea to check cars in the $12,000 and Up range. It's had  a lot of care and money invested in maintenance to it, over a car with shiny new paint possibly hiding rust and filler and not running or running right. We planned to keep it but also own a 1962 and choosing between the two, we would like to keep our Bullet Bird. The main reason for selling is we no longer have room for it in the garage and don't want to keep it outside. It is originally from California and included is the 1966 Black and Yellow California Plates and Dealer Frame from Marquis Motors of Mission Viejo. It also has the Owner's Manual. We have lost track of some of the receipts that came with the car, but I have most of the recent ones (see photos) that add up to quite some money spent on an Entire New Brake System, This Includes The Proportioning Valve, Wheel Bearing Repack, Seals, Tie Rod Ends, Rear Differential, Transmission Service Including Pan Gasket Seal, Alternator, Belts and Hoses, Thermostat and Coolant Temperature Sensor, Headlight Switch, All Tail Light Bulbs Replaced, Battery and Tires Are One Year Old with about 96 Percent Tread. I am not going to give you the Little Old Lady Who Drove It Only On Sundays Story because that would be B.S. Although it has low mileage and we are the 3rd Owners. The Previous Owner drove it less than 800 miles over the course of about the last 3 years of ownership. Clear and Clean Washington Title In My Name, Registered as a Collector Car No Tabs Ever Again in This State. 390 V-8 Starts every time and very easily with No Smoke and No Ponds Of Fluids Underneath. Glass and Seals are Good, The Gauges, Dash Lights Instruments, Original AM Radio Work, Manual Windows and Seats function as do Wipers, and Door Lock Button On Console. To make it really nice I would say a Paint Job (above the driver's side rear wheel skirt some clown scraped it when parked in Downtown Seattle and it was fixed, that is shown in a picture) fix the small tears to the driver's seat and some adhesive on the headliner, also the horn isn't working..noticed a couple fuses missing and I have one of those T Levers that's out of the console in the Glove Box, and the Swing-Away part of the steering is not doing that so the steering stays in the driving position, just some small things, but this ride is ready to go, Drive it Home it's runs and shifts the way it should, or I can work with you on your choice of Shipping Co. getting it to you, from my door to yours or I can get it to a Shipping Co. of your choice. We really don't have to sell it and again I am not entertaining $1500.00 offers and have posted it with a low and reasonable reserve.  To find something like this for less than $5000.00 you can probably find it on Craigslist sitting in a back yard for 10 years with the old "It Ran When It Was Parked" story. So If You are looking for a classy ride for not too much money that is a driver than here it is, and remember it comes with receipts from shops for a lot of work done, not a "Shade Tree Mechanic". Only posting it this one time, if it doesn't sell more than likely it gets what it needs and stored  properly.

Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines

Mon, 27 May 2013

Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.

Mulally confirms he's not leaving Ford for Microsoft

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

In recent months, rumors had been flying about Ford CEO Alan Mulally potentially leaving the company to take a position at Microsoft. Last we heard, Mulally was planning to stick around at Ford through at least 2014, and in an interview today, that bit was confirmed by the CEO himself.
According to the Associated Press, in a report from The Detroit News, Mulally said he will not be leaving Ford for Microsoft, and reiterated that he will remain at the Blue Oval through 2014, if not longer. Mulally has "no plans other than to serve Ford," according to the report.
Mulally did not say whether or not he had been in talks with Microsoft at any point. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said he plans to leave the software company sometime this year.

Ken Block rally cars go blue in the face (and everywhere else)

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Well at least we now know why Ken Block "just ain't care" about smashing up his Ford Fiesta rally car recently. It's because he's getting a full brand makeover including a new team name, new paint scheme and even a new headquarters. Formerly known as Monster World Rally Team, Block and his Fiesta will now be competing under the Hoonigan Racing Division name, which is based out of a new 12,000 square foot facility located in Park City, UT.
As you can tell in the image above, Hoonigan Racing will replace the familiar black, white and green paint scheme with a more colorful design featuring plenty of blue, purple and red; the Monster Energy logo retains some of the car's green. The new paint scheme was inspired by Block's love of skateboard graphics from the '80s and early '90s as well as "Miami Vice-era" speedboats.
Block will continue to compete in multiple rally racing series such as Global RallyCross, World Rally Championship and X Games. The new headquarters features office space on one side and a shop for the cars on the other side. The building features plenty of stuff you'd expect from a company designed around Ken Block, including a massive gaming station for racing video games, recycled shipping containers used throughout the facility and a black bear.
