1986 FORD THUNDERBIRD-78231.7 ORIGIINAL MILES FIX OR PARTS DESCRIPTION -For your consideration is this 1986 Ford Thunderbird in used condition. I purchased this car about 3 years ago from the estate of the original owner with 58,598 original miles on it.This car has been a daily driver since I bought it. Last week on 7-17-14 I drove it home from work and parked it,a couple hours later I went out to leave and it wouldn't start.The car turns over fine but doesn't fire. I don't like working on cars and only do what I feel comfortable doing. I have a buddy that works on cars and he checked it out.He says the fuel pump is shot on the car. This is a tank mounted pump and would require dropping the gas tank to repair it. A local auto parts store says the pump is about $100 plus shipping. We found the gas pump safety switch in the trunk and it was not tripped. I even bypassed the switch and car will not start. The other issue is the drivers seatbelt stationary part(2nd to last pic) is broken. A spring inside must be broken belt will not lock in. I had a salvage yard search for one and they couldn't find it. The original radio was shot and I put a Pioneer stereo in the car. I'm going to keep the stereo so car will have no radio in it. Someone who likes to work on cars could get this running and get alot of driving out of it.Car has no dents but some rust along rockers. Air conditioning and heat both work fine. Car is located in central Iowa and can be picked up there. Half of payment due at auction end,balance paid when car is picked up. I have clear title and will sign it over when you pick up car. I would like the car gone within 30 days of auction close. Feel free to email or call with any questions. My cell is 515-297-1289 and ask for Don. Best to call after 3:30 central time |

Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?
Sun, 28 Jul 2013Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.
BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod
Thu, 20 Jun 2013Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.
Ladies Love It: Ford Fiesta wins Womens World Car of the Year
Thu, 25 Jul 2013It's official: A panel of female automotive writers has chosen the Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost as the Womens World Car of the Year, and it beat tough competition like the Mazda CX-5, Range Rover and Porsche Boxster S for the overall top spot.
The CX-5 and Range Rover won the SUV and Luxury Car categories, respectively, and the Boxster S laid claim to the Sports Car category, beating the runner up Audi RS5 and third place Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ (or Scion FR-S). The Audi Allroad was named the Family car of the year.
The panel consisted of 18 female automotive writers from around the world tasked with picking the best car in each of eight categories, including top vehicle overall, using criteria that women utilize when shopping for a car. That includes safety, value-for-money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child-friendliness, ease-of-driving, color, sex appeal and environmental footprint.
