1986 Ford Thunderbird 5.0 2 Door Elan- This car is in average or better condition for the year and has 79000 original miles on it. The interior is good, just needs cleaned up. The dash is good. The headliner is real good. The car has bucket seats woth no tears and a floor console. The car was painted shortly before I bought it and looks real good . The car has power steering and air conditioning. Car has new battery. This is a 5.0 V-8 engine with automatic transmission that works great. Power windows and door locks. I am the 3rd owner. The first and 2nd owner were a mother and son. I recently had the car tuned up and had the brakes worked on. I also had the valve cover gaskets replaced because they leaking a small amoutn of oil. The undercarriage is in real good shape with no significant rust. The car starts right up, even in cold weather. This car would be an easy restore. Items that car needs addressed are gas gauge doesn't work, the aluminum wheels need cleaned up professionally, and when it was painted some of the molding was not put back on tight as it should be. Also front molding on bumper should be repainted. I was going to restore it myself, but have way to many other car projects at this time. I am trying to make room, so I don't take up so much garage space. Look on Ebay, these cars are very scacre with a V-8 and bucket seat. These cars are definitely collectors items now and you can put on antique tags to get away from high insurance premium. I have antique tags on it and it costs me about $75 a year for full coverage insurance. I have advertised the car in several other venues, and if sold in one of those other sources, have the right to pull the listing at that time. This is a NO Reserve, No Return, No Money Back, As Is Auction. If you have any questions, you can email me at cgsputtershop@comcast.net You must have a PayPal account to bid on this car and have no more then 2 negative feedback in the last 6 months.

Car has a clear title. I will assist in helping arrange pick up. If you are a PA Buyer there will be 6% sales tax added at time of transfer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is being Re-Listed due to NO PAYMENT OF DEPOSIT FROM BIDDER. Please Note: This car was SOLD 2 days ago, before this Re-List, but the NO FEEDBACK Buyer *who was just bidding for fun, did not pay the deposit , his loss and your chance to bid again. In my world, what the last bidder did, not honoring a contract, is called FRAUD. That is the last time I will accept any bids from somebody with less then at least 5 feedbacks, and those 5 feedbacks must be 100%. Thanks, CGS

Ford dinged by OSHA for asbestos at Buffalo plant
Sat, 20 Jul 2013Ford has come under fire from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for violations regarding asbestos exposure in a company metal stamping plant in Buffalo, NY. OSHA has cited Ford for eight violations in total, according to an Automotive News report, and faces fines of up to $41,800. 537 workers are employed at the stamping facility.
The violations include a pipefitter at the facility being exposed to asbestos-containing material while working on a steam line, other workers exposed to the material without respiratory protection and work areas that were not designed to limited the number of workers in contact with asbestos. Further, areas in which asbestos was present were not properly restricted, and levels of asbestos in the air were not monitored.
According to an unnamed Ford spokesperson in the AN report, the company feels that the OSHA citation is erroneous saying, "We have fully cooperated with the local OSHA officials and we don't believe the citations are warranted." Ford also maintains that it will work with the authorities to resolve the issue.
Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue
Tue, 28 May 2013According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."
2013 Shelby 1000 unleashes its 1,200 horsepower ahead of NY show reveal
Fri, 22 Mar 2013True story: Last fall, I had the opportunity to spend a week with Ford's new 2013 Shelby GT500 - the Blue Oval's factory Mustang with 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque. It's an amazing beast, to be sure. I'm not sure if it was Michigan's damp streets strewn with potholes and wet leaves, but at no point did I ever say to myself, "You know, Ford is on to a really good thing here, but what it really needs is about twice the power." And yet, for people in warmer climes with infrastructure in better nick - or for those whose muscle cars live their lives out on the track, there's apparently sufficient demand to warrant just such a beast.
Quick studies will recall that Shelby American launched its 1000 last year to commemorate its 50th anniversary, but it is returning to the New York Auto Show with a fresh version based on the 2013 GT500 I drove. The 2013 Shelby 1000 whips up 1,200 horsepower on pump gas thanks to beefed-up forced induction, engine internals and cooling. Wisely, it also incorporates an adjustable suspension and big brake package to make sure those ponies have the best chance being safely deployed to the ground.
What price the world's most powerful "production" muscle car? $154,995 for starters - donor GT500 not included. What, no convertible variant?
