ou are looking at a customized 1962 Ford Thunderbird that has been transformed into a sweet pro touring car. This car was built to be a driver, it gets a ton of attention at the cruises. The rear wheel-wells were radiused and the trim was removed from the rear quarters, making this Thunderbird look more sleek and smooth than how it rolled off the assembly in 1962.
Vehicle Specifications: • 1962 Ford Thunderbird • 10,500 miles • Hardtop • Coupe • Automatic 8 cylinder 460 • Red leather interior • Power windows • Clean title • Custom aftermarket rims Drivetrain modifications include: • 460 engine • MSD 6AL ignition • MSD distributor • Edelbrock carburetor • Edelbrock performance intake • New aluminum radiator with electric fan • C6 transmission • New Driveshaft and U-joints • 4 wheel disc breaks • New front wheel bearings and seals • Upgraded master cylinder and booster • New rag joints • New power steering pump • New battery • New starter • American Racing wheels, 17 x 7 front, 20 x 8.5 rear • Hankook Ventus V12 EVO Tires, 225-45-17 front, 245-40-20 rear • Rebuilt 3.50 Ford 9" rear • New rear wheel bearings and axle seals *All of this work has been done in the past six months; all these items are new, not new three years ago In a prior build someone built this into a hot rod and installed a fuel cell in the trunk. A brand new gas tank, filler neck, straps, and sending until will need to be installed by the new owner. Fuel gauge is not currently connected; it will work when connected to the new sending unit. There in no rust on the Thunderbird at all. The only imperfection on the body is a very small blister on the front passenger side of the hood. The chrome is in great shape. The vent windows have the usual pitting and there are some minor dings on some of the trim. The vehicle also includes a new set of window felts that will need to be installed by the new owner. The interior is in nice shape, the seats and headliner were redone, the door panels need attention (door arm rest specifically started to crack). Overall, this is a nice straight car with no excuses. I am not looking for any trades. On Aug-23-14 at 05:48:10 PDT, seller added the following information: This is a hardtop not convertible , my daughter posted for me and made mistake sorry |

Martini Mustang is a 'what if moment' gone right
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Feast your eyes on a masterpiece. This is Steve Strope's Ford Mustang in the classic fastback bodystyle, and as you'll notice, it sports the signature colors of Martini Racing, a livery that's as legendary as any Gulf Racing-styled car. But the red, white and blues of the Martini stripe down this Mustang's middle tell only a very small part of the story, in the latest video from Petrolicious.
What would you guess is under the hood? A 289-cubic-inch V8? Maybe a 302, or some absurd Ford crate engine? Maybe Strope went all Tokyo Drift - he's actually responsible for the "Hammer" Plymouth Satellite driven by Vin Diesel at the end of the movie - and found an RB26DETT to drop into the pony car? You'd be wrong on all counts.
This mad, mad man somehow finagled a Ford-Lotus engine from a 1966 Indianapolis 500 car into the Mustang's engine bay. Yes, a Mustang with an engine designed for a 160-mile-per-hour, open-wheel racecar. That's like someone in 40 years dropping McLaren's 2.4-liter V8 from the MP4-28 into a Scion FR-S. It'd just make a monster.
J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
Ford trademarking 'Mach 1,' possibly for Mustang
Thu, 24 Oct 2013A legendary name might be accompanying the redesigned, 2015 Mustang when it finally makes its world debut - Mach 1. Stumbled upon by the team at Ford Authority, the Mach 1 title was found in a trademark filing with the US Patent and Trademark Office, and would revive a name last used on the fourth-generation, 2003 Mustang.
While the the 2003 vintage was well and good, the Mach 1 is really remembered for a three-year run from 1969 to 1971 - it's best to just forget the emissions-choked 1972 to 1978 Mach 1s - when power output ranged from a modest 250 horsepower with the two-barrel, 351-cubic-inch Windsor V8 to "375 hp" (actual output was rumored to be well north of 400 horsepower) with the righteous, 429-cubic-inch Super Cobra Jet V8.
What does the title hold for the sixth-generation Mustang? It's tough to say. The fanatics at Ford Authority seem to think Mach 1 could take the place of the Shelby GT500 at the top of the Mustang hierarchy, which sounds like a valid argument. At the same time, we could see the SVT Cobra moniker returning for the flagship model, and the Mach 1 doing battle with the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 (unless the Boss 302 were to return). Confounding things is the historical precedent - the Mach 1 was responsible for the death of the Mustang GT in 1969, so it might make sense as a volume performance model.
