Emerging from a hiatus of several years, Ford introduced the 11th generation Thunderbird in 2002. Returning to the original formula for the Thunderbird, the latest version had the two-seat coupe/convertible layout of the first generation. And the retro styling was complemented by the Jaguar-designed 3.9 litre DOHC V8 powerplant, producing 252bhp and 267 lb·ft of torque, mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission.
From the first year of production, this stunning black on black example is offered in excellent all-round condition. A repainted front bumper cover, due to stone chips, is the only evidence of body repair, and you have to look closely to see that. The interior is excellent with very minor wear to the leather surfaces and carpet. The soft top is in excellent condition.
The mechanicals are all excellent with a taut and responsive engine, smooth transmission, and good brakes, suspension and steering. All electrical systems work perfectly. The car features a CD player and chrome wheels with good tires
The car shows 164,000 miles, but the carfax shows a jump of 70,000 miles in a very short timeframe. The condition of this T/bird is that of a car with considerably less mileage, and two independent mechanics have agreed with that. The accelerator pedal shows the wear of a car with less than half the indicated mileage, as do details around the car, such as the drivers seat, engine bay, etc. I have not been able to get to the bottom of the story, but the car really is in stunning condition, and well worth inspection. I feel it is priced accordingly, and a great opportunity for a deal.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Ford posts record pre-tax Q3 profit of $2.6B
Thu, 24 Oct 2013Ford took in $2.6 billion in pre-tax profits in the third quarter of the year, making for a record trio of months that saw the Blue Oval's year-over-year earnings increase by $426 million. The earnings are being attributed not just to improvements in North American sales, but sales around the globe.
Revenue was up 12 percent, to $36 billion, although net income took a hit, dropping $359 million to $1.3 billion. Ford was dinged with $498 million in pre-tax charges, which are being blamed for the drop in net income.
The news has boosted Ford's hopes for full-year results, bumping it's total profits up past $8 billion, according to Automotive News. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer is still expecting a loss in Europe, although it's forecasted less than the $1.73 billion it burned in 2012. In fact, according to CFO Bob Shanks, Ford's European losses dropped by 51 percent year-over year, a huge improvement for the brand.
Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue
Fri, 22 Feb 2013It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.
