1992 Ford Thunderbird Restomod on 2040-cars
Qualicum Beach, British Columbia, Canada
|
The Thunderbird that Ford never built. Not satisfied with the power or braking of the Super Coupe, I set out to build a reliable driver that would perform, handle, and stop the way I felt it should. I have been very pleased with the results, have really enjoyed building and driving the car, and it is now time to move on to the next project. The car is available for local pickup, any shipping is the responibility of the buyer, but I will assist in any way I can. Payment will be by cash or Pay Pal. I bought the car in 2004 with 238,000 KM on it, drove it home and dismantled it for the rebuild, completing the project in 2006. The car is totally rust free, body is very straight, no accidents to my knowledge, and the original black leather interior is in very good condition except for some minor surface cracks in the front leather bucket seats. Power is by the 4.6 Ltr. DOHC Aluminum Cobra motor and Tremec T45 transmission bought NEW from Ford Racing, which came complete with wiring harness, starter, alternator, power steering pump, AC compressor, manifolds, clutch, so everything on the motor is new. We used the SDS fully programmable engine management system and MSD DIS4 ignition, new 255 LPH fuel pump, remote oil filter, Kooks ceramic coated headers, custom built 2 1/2" all stainless steel dual exhaust, 3 1/2" alluminum driveshaft, Ford Racing 3.73 Traction Loc rear gears, subframe connectors, and stiffened independent rear suspension. All suspension parts were installed new, Tokiko programmable shocks, lowering springs, all new Moog bushings, control arms and links, factory rebuilt steering rack, tie rod ends, if it moved or turned it was replaced! New body mounts, motor mounts, transmission & differential mounts, there are no squeeks or rattles, no slack anywhere, new hubs from Ford front and rear. Brakes are from the 2002 Cobra with Baer slot drilled rotors, the stopping power is very good. The custom built dash features TPI guages. I have fully documented the entire rebuild with all receipts, all factory manuals, written rebuild manual with all part numbers listed, and many photos of the entire process. |

2015 Ford Focus ST gets sleeker style, improved dynamics
Thu, 26 Jun 2014The Brits don't really have a major auto show these days. Not in a conventional sense, anyway, with stationary vehicles under floodlights in a closed exposition space. What they do have, you could argue, is much better: the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the public can view the latest machinery not only under an open sky, but in motion as well, speeding up Lord March's front lawn. And this year, British automakers are rolling in with some very enticing new metal.
In the past few days alone we've confirmed the McLaren 650S GT3 and MSO, Jaguar F-Type Project 7, Range Rover Sport SVR and Ariel Ace will all be revealed for the first time at Goodwood this weekend. Ford isn't, strictly speaking, a British automaker, but for all its history in the UK, it might as well. So it's chosen Goodwood as the site to unveil its refreshed Focus ST.
The upgraded Blue Oval hot hatch still packs a 2.0-liter turbo four with 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque driving through a six-speed manual to the front wheels, so we're not expecting much change in measurable performance. But Ford has given the new Focus ST a new front suspension setup and a new electric power-assisted steering rack that combine to promise improved handling.
