This rare Thunderbird is a nice weekend cruiser. Runs and drives excellent.

Engine is a 352 rated at 300 horsepower and was previously overhauled and updated with hardened valve seats so you can run regular pump gas with no additives. Starts right up and runs very smooth, never overheats even on 90 degree days. Brand new Interstate battery. Has a Cruise-O-Matic Automatic transmission and a Ford 9" rear axle. Has power steering.

Body is in good condition with absolutely NO RUST. This car has been restored in the past. Paint is in good condition, has some small chips(pictured) but not many. The bumpers are in OK condition, but could be re-chromed. Most of the trim is in good condition as well, some pieces may need refinishing however. The sunroof was recently removed and adjusted as well as all the linkages and slides lubed and it works very well.

Interior is in great condition, the seats, headliner, and carpet were replaced during the restoration as well as the trunk liner. The radio has been upgraded to an AM/FM unit with a cassette player, it is designed to mimic the original radio. The trunk lid has been outfitted with an electric release via a button under the dash. This car has power windows including the "sail" windows towards the rear. The driver's side rear "sail" window has not worked since I've owned the car and I do not know what it needs to repair it.

Car is a great weekend cruiser and gets TONS of attention at the shows. The Sunroof is a BIG topic of conversation, I always have to verify for people that it is original to the car. The paint is even the original colors, verified by the data sheet found in the sunroof panel(which I still have). As far as I know the car is completely numbers matching.

I always recommend viewing any vehicle in person prior to purchasing, but I also try to provide as much info/pics as possible so YOU know what you're getting. if you have questions or would like to view the car, please send me a message and I will respond promptly.

AS-IS sale, no warranties expressed or implied.

Hear the 2015 Mustang GT V8 roar for the first time

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

Our combined knowledge of the 2015 Ford Mustang continues to deepen, as spy shooters have begun to compile video and audio of the upcoming sixth-generation car.
Case in point is this latest series of video clips, which not only gives us a great vantage point of the Mustang in motion, but also allows us to hear the Ford V8 engine and exhaust. After perusing the aural delights of this short video, which, admittedly, doesn't catch the Mustang GT at full song, we can at least say that the throaty exhaust isn't disappointing.
Chances are good that the 2015 Mustang GT will debut with some version of the current (and excellent) Coyote 5.0-liter V8 engine, though we're unclear as to whether or not the motor has been massaged for its next-gen debut, or what may have been done to exhaust plumbing. At this point, we're just happy to hear the pony run. Scroll below to hear for yourself.

This unique '64 Mustang was Edsel Ford II's first car

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

You probably had the same dream when you were a teenager. Your sixteenth birthday is coming up, or Christmas, or maybe both, and all you want is a muscle car to call your own. That dream has come true for some, and one of them was none other than Edsel Ford II.
Henry Ford's great grandson turned 16 on December 27, 1964 - two days after Christmas and eight months after the original Mustang went on sale. And that's just what was waiting for him in the driveway, courtesy of his father (and reigning chief executive) Henry Ford II.
The specially-prepared pony car had a pearlescent cream paintjob with narrow blue racing stripes, functional hood scoop, chrome trim, Euro-spec fender-mounted mirrors, a blue leather and aluminum interior, a monogrammed fuel cap... and a 289-cubic-inch V8 under the hood.

Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.
