Up for auction is a 1988 Thunderbird, the 1987-88 body-style being a favorite body-style of many Thunderbird enthusiasts.

As we have all seen so many times on Ebay, I have too many projects and must let go of this one. It was not my decision that THIS is the thing I let go of to make room and time and money for aforementioned projects; my better half got to choose because I owed her so there you have it.

My Thunderbird was originally white on a red interior and it is still white but I was going to go back into the interior with gray leather. The engine has been replaced with a rebuilt long block from ATK Rebuilt Engines and Transmission and the original transmission has been rebuilt by a local very reputable transmission shop. Also are new brake rotors, drums, pads and shoes, power steering pump, alternator, steering rack and tie-rod ends, wheel bearings, engine computer, new heater core, and air conditioning evaperator and conderser coils, and anything else I may have left forgotten, and all of these things have about 15,000 miles. This car is totally reliable and roadworthy and gets approximately 29 MPG on the freeway. The engine computer had to be replaced because it got wet and I am not sure how that happened but in the hands of the right restorer this should not be a problem. Probably a weatherstripping issue.

Nothing else has been done to the car. It is now a perfectly mechanically sound canvas for the right restorer to paint and do the interior. Happy bidding. This is a no-reserve auction but it also is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

Ford begins testing right-hand-drive Mustang

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

Ford has officially kicked off testing of the right-hand-drive variant of its sixth-generation, 2015 Mustang, according to a statement issued by the company, which came with the above photo.
According to Ford, this will mark the first time a right-hand-drive 'Stang has traveled down the company's assembly line alongside its LHD brethren. It is far from the first of the legendary pony cars to feature its wheel on the wrong side, though, as converters in RHD markets across the globe have been making swaps for years.
Ford is planning on using the white, droptop Mustang for RHD development ahead of the car's arrival in the UK, Australia and South Africa, among other markets. Scroll down for the official press blast.

2015 Ford Mustang GT [w/video]

Fri, 19 Sep 2014

At 50 years old, the object of fantasies, a tuner's dream, a movie star and more than nine million strong, it couldn't be truer to say that the Ford Mustang needs no introduction. This newest Mustang, however - making the biggest changes we've seen to the pony car since perhaps 1964.5 - is something Ford has been introducing all year.
We went on a Deep Dive, covered the way it looks when it was revealed, detailed the engine specs, got a ride in the EcoBoost and listened to the V8, got rolling footage and watched it do a standard-feature burnout.
The only thing left to do? Drive it. Having now done so for a few hours around Los Angeles, what we can tell you is to forget everything you know about the Mustang. This new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment.
