This listing is for my 83 T Bird. Car was originally from CA. and then I purchased it approx 5 years ago down in southern PA. This was not used as a winter car so it doesnt have any of the typical lower door rot, strut tower rot, etc that is common in north east fox body Fords. The car has the 3.8 V6 motor with automatic trans with overdrive. When we bought the car it was my sons 1st car and had approx 75k miles on it. He drove it to and from high school and then went off to college with a new car. I would drive it occasionally during the summer and it has been very dependable. Since I have owned the car it has received a new heater core, headliner was replaced, power window motors repaired, frt brake calipers and hoses and pads, new rear wheel cylinders and shoes. The car does need a muffler, it is not obnoxiously loud but it is missing. This car is the heritage edition which was the upgraded plush interior with t bird emblems embossed in the seats, the outside coach lights and the turquoise grille emblem . As the car sits now it has a painted grille on it from when the car was painted. I also have a correct original chrome grille. This car was original with whitewall tires with chrome wire wheel hubcaps which I still have but now it has mustang turbine rims on it. The reserve is set low as I am no longer going to be able to keep the car stored so bid to win. If reserve isnt met I will decide to offer to high bid if close enough. Car is in my garage just outside Jamestown NY(Busti) and can be seen in person if your near by. If you have any questions or need other pictures ask and I will do that asap.

Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile
Wed, 27 Mar 2013We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.
Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014
The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.
How Ford plans to handle insurance and repair questions surrounding new aluminum-bodied F-150
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Building a car out of aluminum has a number of benefits - the lighter weight allows the vehicle to be more agile, more fuel efficient, make better use of its power and be more resistant to dings and dents. The downside to the advanced construction, though, is that repairs are both challenging and expensive. That's troubling for the new, aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, because it's kind of made a name for itself as a rugged, durable work vehicle.
How will the legions of Ford buyers cope when it comes time to insure and repair their new trucks? Well, according to Ford, it's expecting a ten-percent jump in insurance costs for the aluminum-bodied F-150, although Ford's truck marketing manager, Doug Scott, was quick to point out that the F-150 is generally cheaper to insure than its competition from Ram and General Motors. "At the end of the day, that's sort of a wash," Scott told Automotive News at last week's Detroit Auto Show. "We've spent a lot of time and feel very comfortable that that's not going to be an inhibitor."
The other issue facing Ford is the distinct lack of body shops that have the training or equipment to repair aluminum-bodied vehicles. AN cites an estimate from the Automotive Service Association claiming that of the 30,000 independent body shops in the US, less than 10 percent are able to work on aluminum.
