You are looking at an EXTREMELY clean 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. This is the last year of this body style and the last year of the turbo. In 1989 they changed the whole design and swapped the turbo charger for a supercharger...Hence the t-bird Super coupe! I have had this car for almost 4 years and love it to death. I listed this car for sale last summer but i decided to keep it.. Now my circumstances have changed and i have lost my garage space. It's been outside for almost a month and it's killing me. I'd rather sell to someone who appreciates this car like i do than to run outside and wipe the bird shit off of it every two hours.

EXTERIOR:

SUPER CLEAN LAZER STRAIGHT BODY WITH MIRROR FINNISH BLACK PAINT. NOT A DENT, DING OR SCRATCH .....THERE IS SLIGHT SUN FADING ON THE ROOF CLOSE TO THE REAR WINDOW BUT THE CAR IS SO SHINY IT'S HARD TO NOTICE. THE RED PINSTRIPE ON THE CAR IS BRIGHT AND STANDS OUT. I HAVE 17" BLACK POWDER COATED MUSTANG COBRA R RIMS WITH A CHROME LIP AND RED CALIPER COVERS TO ACCENT THE RD PINSTRIPE AND IT LOOKS REAL NICE. THE TIRES HAVE ABOUT 60 % TREAD ON THEM. I ALSO HAVE A 3 QUARTER BRA ON THE FRONT TO HIDE SOME OF THE ROAD CHIPS ON THE NOSE AND 1980'S STYLE G.T.S. TINTED HEAD LIGHT COVERS TO MACH THE TINTED WINDOWS. FINALLY I HAVE 2" CHROME TAILPIPE TIPS THAT EXTEND JUST PAST THE REAR BUMPER WHICH ALSO LOOKS A LIL MEAN!

INTERIOR:

DON'T ASK ME WHY FORD WOULD PUT A BLUE AND GREY TWO TONE INTERIOR WITH A BLACK AND RED EXTERIOR BUT THEY DID. THE INTERIOR IS SUPER NICE WITH TWO SMALL FLAWS. THE DASH IS CRACKED WICH I HAVE HID WITH A CUSTOM MADE DASH COVER AND A CIGARETTE BURN ON THE HEAD LINER FROM THE PREVIOUS KNUCKLEHEAD OWNER. AFTERMARKET RADIO AND CD PLAYER LOOKS AND SOUNDS NICE.

ENGINE:

ANYONE WHO KNOW'S THIS CAR, KNOWS THE MOTOR. THE 2.3 LITER TURBO IS THE SAME MOTOR THAT FORD PUT IN THE S.V.O. MUSTANG AND RUNS AWSOME. TURNS OVER EVERY TIME ,THIS CAR RUNS LIKE A TOP AND SHIFTS PERFECT! THE TURBO SPOOLS UP AND THE CAR TAKES OFF LIKE A ROCKET.....ANYONE WHO KNOWS THIS MOTOR ALSO KNOWS THAT THE TURBO ONLY ENGAGES WHEN YOU WANT IT TO AND IN 1987 THEY INTRODUCED THE INTERCOOLER WHICH MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE FROM THE PREVIOUS MODLES. (YOU CAN GO THOUGH EVERY GEAR AND USE THE TURBO OR EVERY GEAR AND NOT USE IT) THE SUPERCHARGER (1989) WORKS ALL THE TIME WICH LEADS TO MORE FREQUENT FAILURE. I HAVE OVER $3,000.00 IN RECEIPTS FOR THE WORK I HAVE DONE.

NEW:

HEATER CORE, EVAPORATOR CORE AND ALL NEW A.C. LINES. EVERY SENSOR AND T-STAT WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH NEW DASH CLUSTER. BRAND NEW STOCK STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BACK, PLUGS, WIRES, HOSES, BELTS , RADIATOR , TIMING BELT, NEW HEADS, INTAKE ,BLOCK AND HEAD GASKET.

THE SLIGHTLY BAD:

THE DOOR LOCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR DON'T WORK (ACTUATOR)? THERE IS A 3 INCH CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THERE ARE CRACKS IN THE DASH AND A CIGARETTE BURN IN THE HEADLINER. THE ROOF HAS SLIGHT SUN FADING TOWARDS THE REAR WINDOW.. DESPITE THESE THINGS THIS CAR GETS A HUGE AMOUNT OF ATTENTION AND GETS A TROPHY FROM EVERY CAR SHOW AND CRUISE NITE I BROUGHT HER TO. ( PROB. BECAUSE IM ALWAYS THE ONLY TURBO COUPE AT THE SHOWS) HA!

FOR THE SUPER SERIOUS, I WILL GO OUT AND TAKE ANY ADDITIONAL PICTURES YOU REQUEST. WHY SPEND 10 OR 20 GRAND ON A CLASSIC WHEN YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO GET A NICE CLASSIC T-BIRD FOR A VERY REASONABLE PRICE. OR GET THE CLASSIC INSURANCE FOR 150$ A YEAR AND USE IT AS A DAILY DRIVER. ANYONE IN THE AREA IS ENCOURAGED TO COME TAKE A LOOK AND I WILL HELP IN ANY WAY TO SHIP. WILL DELIVER WITHIN A 50 MILE RADIUS FOR GAS AND TOLL REIMBURSEMENT.

*****PLEASE NOTE ****** I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION EARLY IF I SELL THE CAR LOCALLY OR IF I GAIN STORAGE BACK. CONTACT ME ANYTIME WITH OFFERS. REALLY NOT INTERESTED IN ANY TRADES. THANKS AND HAPPY BIDDING.

2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.

USPS releases hot rod stamps to speed up your delivery

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

After one of the worst winters in recent memory for much of the country, summer is finally here. It's time to drop the top, open the sunroof or at least put down the windows and take a long drive. The United States Postal Service is celebrating the season's sun in automotive style with two new hot rod Forever stamps.
Both stamps depict classic '32 Ford hot rods. One shows the car from the front at a low angle in red (pictured above), while the other depicts the car from the back in black with flames running down the side.
To introduce the new stamps on their first day of availability, the USPS went straight to the source at the National Street Rod Association Street Rod Nationals in York, PA. They were unveiled by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, Car Crazy host Barry Meguiar and NSRA Special Events Director Jerry Kennedy.

Ford, Samsung shack up to bring regen braking to non-hybrid models [w/video]

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

Ford must be desperate to get itself ready for the beach this summer because it is really trying to get into shape. Shortly after unveiling the Lightweight Concept that cut the weight of a Fusion down to that of a Fiesta, it's now the rest of the line's turn for improvement. The company is wrapping up a 10-year research project aimed at developing next-gen automotive batteries to improve efficiency.
Ford claims that 70 percent of its lineup will have stop/start tech by 2017. The key to this massive proliferation is its new dual-battery system that combines a lithium-ion battery with a lead-acid one and regenerative braking. The setup works by harvesting braking energy and converting it to electricity. When the vehicle stops, the engine shuts off, but the Li-ion battery has enough juice to keep the accessories running. The engine starts up again as drivers take their foot off the brake. The layout would mean less wasted gas while idling. It's already available on Ford hybrids and is somewhat similar to the i-Eloop capacitor-based system from Mazda.
The bigger challenge is tuning the regenerative braking right. While hybrid drivers may be a little more adventurous, when it comes to getting a hang of regen braking, conventional buyers might not be so open-minded. The systems have a tendency to be a little grabby at first and then taper off at very low speeds. Ford needs to make sure it's just right to avoid turning off buyers.
