Up for sale is by 1962 thunderbird sports roadster. I have owned the car since 2006. It came for CO but was orginialy sold in CA.I have docomentation from 1988 when the car was baught by Carl Dane of Nascar Fame. You can look him up on line. At that time he had the car restored including new paint, chrome,engine and transmission gone over. Sometime before that a set of orginial Ford 3x2 setup was put one the car. Carbs are dated 1962 and are correct in every detail including the right crank case breather tubes and air cleaner. The gas line is rubber from the fuel pump to carbs however. An orginial autolite carb and 4lb intake and air cleaner is included in the sale if one chooses to put in on. The 3x2 runs great. In 1988 Mr. Dane sold the car to his nefew. He had a brand new top put on and a new top motor and raditor core instaled. I have detailed records that were included with the sale of the car to me at this point. Since I have had the car I have done many inprovements to it. New: exhaust system(front to rear), brake pads and cylinders, water pump, fuel pump, steering box. all alum.trim and switches replaced, new wire wheels(the 5 orginials are included and are not really bad, slightly dull). The front seat covers looked to have been replaced (nice). The rear ones look to be the orginials and are nice also. The interior trim has been polished and looks new. Dash pad looks new and was probably replaced with a NOS ford part in 1988. Car has brand new carpet. Door panel are orginial along with the sun visors and are GREAT. Chrome on dash including all knobs is extra nice. Horn button has been replated, ring is orginal and nice. Steering wheel is like new with no crackes or scratches.Rotanda Tach was added by me and works find. Cup is like new. There are two radios that come with the car. The orginial AM and the aftermarket AM/FM that I put in. Both work find. No extra holes cut anywhere. Same with clock, orginial and the new quartz. All guages and controls work as they should.The AC has not worked since I had the car but all factory parts are present.I do not have the skill to work on this but I do know the clutch on the compressor does work.BODY: This is the most amazing thing about this car. I can not find any rust at all on this car,top or bottom. I went over it with a magnet when I bought the car and couldn't find any body filler anywhere Panels are stright and alinment is right on. I would say paint is 9 out of ten. There are no dings or dents Grill has been polished.The out side stainless trin has not been polishe(did not know now to take off) and there is a small dimple in two of the six pieces. Other car trim (emblems, beezels,door handles, mirror, ect are like new. Rubber trim is excellent. Rear weights are installed in trunk but the front ones are in boxes and not installed. Probably left off when front bumper was replated. TOP: Top is excellent with no rips or tears.Window is clear with no scratches.The darn tap on window is broken but should not be hard to fix.Top worked find when I got the car but the trunk lid does come up a little slow.Goes down find. Rest of top componts work find. All switches and relays work as they should.SUPENSION:New rebuilt of front and new springs on back with all new bushings. Shocks looked good(with no leaks) and were not replaced. New radial tires is 2007 including spare. SUMMARY:This is a beauitful sports roadster(a early one and a real one) I have the docmentation. With a no rust body and has not been messed with and butched up in any way. If you like the style of the 1962 and want a good car This is IT! It has not been on ebay before and is not in the tbird registry. I have done my best to describe this car but I may have missed some issues you may be concerned about so please feel free to email with any questions. And thank you for taking time to look at my car.

Ford reports $3B profit in Q4, $6.9B for the year
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Good news out of Dearborn today, as Ford announced $3 billion in profit for the last quarter of 2013, a 90-percent increase over the same period of 2012. Net income for all of last year, meanwhile, jumped to $7.2 billion from $5.7 billion in 2012, while pre-tax profits sat at a decade-topping $6.9 billion for all of 2013.
The results of the substantial profit increases are bigger profit-sharing checks for UAW employees. How big? A record $8,800 on average for 47,000 UAW workers, making 2013 the biggest year for profit sharing in Ford history. In total, $414 million will be paid as part of the profit-sharing scheme.
Now, it should be pointed out that a fair portion of Ford's Q4 profits were due to tax benefits, totaling $2.1 billion, according to Automotive News. Total profits would have also been higher, had there not been a significant recall on the Escape, as well as plant issues in South America.
Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion
Thu, 30 Oct 2014After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.
Ford Mustang 50th anniversary edition brings in $170k
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Just the other day, we reported on the first Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat selling for a whopping $825,000 at auction. But impressive as that sum was, the Challenger wasn't the only sought-after modern muscle car to cross the Barrett-Jackson auction block in Las Vegas this past weekend. So did this rare Ford Mustang.
The last of 1,964 special-edition 50 Years Limited Edition pony cars sold for a princely $170,000, with proceeds benefiting the Edith and Benson Ford Heart & Vascular Institute, a branch of the Henry Ford Health System.
The pony car in question is based on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT and upgrades with a performance package and nearly every option on the book, along with a unique appearance package to set it apart in celebration of the Mustang's 50th anniversary. It's available in two exclusive shades - Wimbledon white or Kona blue - with either a manual or automatic transmission. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples were to be built, and this was the last of them.
