1965 Ford Thunderbird on 2040-cars
Jamestown, New York, United States

Listing my 65 Bird for auction as I have decided to sell my Birds and get a different toy. I have owned this car for the past dozen years or so and it has been in my family for probably the last 20. Between me and my family we have had over 40 Birds but this is the one that stuck around always. It has been very well taken care of and when I lived in Florida I drove it all the time but since Ive been in NY it is only driven sparingly on short trips and for its yearly state inspection. When the car was restored all the exterior chrome was redone or replaced so in the sun it shines like brand new. During the restoration of the car some of the a/c components were removed and who knows where they ended up, over the years I have purchased the lower bracket , the 2 mounting struts, and I have found most of the hardware for re-install. Quite a few years ago I was able to purchase the Eminger invoice for the car and I have numerous manuals also. This car has the correct factory option vac trunk release, power windows, power antenna, correct 65 am/fm radio (originally was am only car), power door locks, cruise control( bellows need replaced for certain) and dual power seats. I have also located a correct original reclining seat back with headrest that can go with the car if wanted(needs recovered). This car originally had the standard hubcaps(which I still have) but now has the deluxe upgrade hubcaps on it. There has been a ton spent on this car over the years but if you are looking for a excellent example of a 65 Bird then this would be it. I am listing it with a reserve and depending on where this ends I might look at high bid at the end if not met. The car is in my garage in NY and if you are figuring transport costs I am approx. 50 miles from Erie PA and 85 miles from Buffalo NY. If pick-up arrangements need to be made car can sit covered in my garage for no charge till picked up but car will not leave till payment is complete. Check my other auctions as well if your looking to start a collection as I have a 83 listed and will be listing a 80 Silver Anniversary car shortly. If you have any questions just ask and I will get back with you as quick as I can. I am looking at getting a Corvette so I really don't need any trades unless it is one.

2014 Ford Mustang GT
Fri, 17 May 2013I was more than a year removed from my last experience with the Mustang GT and its delicious 5.0 V8 when this new 2014 example rolled up to my driveway recently. Good weather and a planned road trip across the state meant that I would get plenty of seat time in this conservatively specified example, too. In total, I logged about 400 miles in a week of driving - not a lot for some of you super commuters out there, but quite a lot for this work-from-home journalist.
The basic formula of the 5.0 has stayed the same for 2014. The 2013 model year saw a number of updates to keep the Mustang fresh until it's replaced with an all-new generation for 2015. So, for its bon voyage tour, the fifth-generation Pony Car has seen only a few modifications: a couple of new paint colors (Oxford White and Ruby Read Metallic), trim and wheel revisions and, sadly, the deletion of the Boss 302 from the Ford lineup. However, while the limited-edition Boss is likely to reappear sometime after the gen-six Mustang makes its debut in 2015, the GT Track Package cars like the one I tested provide at least a partial solution for those looking for hot laps.
Driving Notes
Ford updates Power Stroke diesel V8, strengthens F-450, tweaks King Ranch
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford is giving its F-Series Super Duty trucks some upgrades for 2015, and we're happy to say that one of them is an improved Power Stroke diesel V8. Also, Ford is strengthening the top-of-the-line F-450 to handle more abuse. And if wild west-style luxury is your thing, the automaker has performed minor cosmetic updates to its King Ranch Edition trucks, as well.
The turbocharged 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 is currently rated at 400 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque, and Ford only tells us the new and improved Power Stroke can "produce power beyond today's" engine. What, then, did Ford actually improve upon? First, the Blue Oval swapped in a new, larger turbocharger. The new Garrett GT37 turbine unit is 72.5 millimeters in diameter, eclipsing the old GT32's 64-mm diameter piece. Ford states output increases with the new turbo setup, but since the new turbocharger operates at a lower peak pressure than the old one, the automaker was able to eliminate the wastegate system and reduce the engine's complexity. Ford even redesigned the turbo's oil and cooling lines to make the powerplant simpler. A byproduct of the larger turbo is better engine exhaust braking, which is controlled manually by a button on the dashboard.
Ford claims the upgraded diesel engine is more powerful, more robust, more efficient and more refined than before.
