Here is a spectacular and ORIGINAL condition* (unrestored) 1972 Ford Thunderbird, 2 door landau with a fast 429Cu V-8 power plant with just under 58,500 original miles. This car is in mint ORIGINAL condition because it was pampered and garaged its entire life and has very low miles.
*Car was originally turquois but had a very high quality repaint to black a few years ago. Otherwise no other work has been done to the car except for periodic maintenance.
The engine runs smooth like 58,500 miles should run. It does not burn oil or smoke. It is fast and smooth. There is an occasional drip from the motor and trans.
The chrome is in like new condition. The paint is in like new condition with a few pin point touch-ups on the front. The landau material is in like new condition. The interior seats, dash, chrome and everything else is in like new condition. The dash is not cracked, the seats are not ripped or frayed, the carpet is not damaged, the head liner is not torn or sagging. The interior color is brilliant and shiny like a new car. The car as a whole is in like new condition. It is like a new car.
The air conditioning doesn't work and didn't work when I purchased the car 3 years ago. I never investigated the problem and I only assume it doesn't work because the original owner told me it didn't work. Everything else as far as I can tell works perfectly.
The car has no rust.
I do not have documentation proving that the car has 58,500 original miles but you can look at the car and see it has very low miles and was cared for. The car is originally from Colorado Springs.
Don't bid on this car if you don't want it. The $1000 deposit due 48 hours from end of auction is non refundable. Full payment is due within one week of end of auction. Buyer is fully responsible for transporting the car but you can drive the car anywhere too if you wanted to.

Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.
Ford Mustang EcoBoost has fake engine soundtrack
Wed, 24 Sep 2014The 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost represents a huge change for the Blue Oval as the first pony car in decades to be available with a four-cylinder engine. But a recent tweet (below) from Road & Track raised our curiosity about the new vehicle. Editor Jason Cammisa pulled a fuse while driving the latest 'Stang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, and he found that both the stereo and engine went quiet in the cabin. That indicated the coupe might have some form of artificial engine sound being piped in - a feature not previously heavily reported for the model. Autoblog spoke with Ford engineer Shawn Carney who confirmed that only the turbocharged four-cylinder Mustang comes with this system, called Active Noise Control.

Project Ugly Horse: Part VI
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Solid axle? What solid axle?
I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation.
This should not have gone this easily. Having a long and checkered history of simple projects punctuated by much wailing and gnashing of knuckles, I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation when I finally decided to lay hands on the '89 Mustang with the goal of relieving the car of its stock rear axle. Instead, it took less than a full morning's worth of work to carve the old 7.5-inch solid axle from its moorings and mock up something, well, different.
