1969 Ford Thunderbird Base Sedan 4-door 7.0l on 2040-cars
Lexington, Kentucky, United States
|
Restored 10 years ago. Very Sharp 12-20 footer. 429 Thunder jet engine. Almost all original (vinyl seat covers replaced). 60k miles and odometer has always worked. Rebuilt engine after I purchased the car in 2002, with less than 3000 miles on the rebuilt motor. Transmission has always shifted very smoothly. New 4 barrel Holly carb installed last year (made it run the best it ever has). Original top and headliner. Suicide 4 door model. I purchased the car in 2002 and restored it, changed the paint color from gray to black, interior was redone with a kit. Body was stripped to the metal before painting. There are a few minor cosmetic paint issues. Very good condition for the age, Frame / underside / floor pans/ trunk are all in great shape. AC works and was converted to R134a. Headlights hideaway when car is running. Several spare parts (starter etc.) go with the car. The tail light sequencer does not work, but other than that everything else does. This car has been taken on trips since being rebuilt, including an 800 mile trip a few years ago. Several spare parts go with the car (starter, set of original vinyl mats etc). Selling the car because I do not drive it much anymore, and have several other cars. Mechanically the car is very sound. There are minor cosmetic issues, but this car is a head turner. Buyer is responsible for shipping. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask. |

Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.
Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales
Tue, 22 Apr 2014The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.
Ford Mustang to get four-cylinder in Europe, but not US
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Fans of the Ford Mustang SVO, which was produced from 1884 through 1986 with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission, may be interested to know that Ford is reportedly going to introduce something similar for 2015. But don't get too excited if you live in the US, as Edmunds reports that the vehicle will be offered in Europe only. Boo!
According to the report, Ford will put a version of its EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder into the engine bay of the Mustang. The engine would be enlarged from its current 2.0 liters to 2.3 liters, taking horsepower from 252 to around 300. The well-known 5.0 V8 engine will also be available in Europe.
"The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future," says Ford of Europe CEO Stephen Odell. That's great... but why not offer buyers in the States the (likely) fuel-efficient turbo option, too?
