Emerging from a hiatus of several years, Ford introduced the 11th generation Thunderbird in 2002. Returning to the original formula for the Thunderbird, the latest version had the two-seat coupe/convertible layout of the first generation. And the retro styling was complemented by the Jaguar-designed 3.9 litre DOHC V8 powerplant, producing 252bhp and 267 lb·ft of torque, mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission.
From the first year of production, this stunning black on black example is offered in excellent all-round condition. A repainted front bumper cover, due to stone chips, is the only evidence of body repair, and you have to look closely to see that. The interior is excellent with very minor wear to the leather surfaces and carpet. The soft top is in excellent condition.
The mechanicals are all excellent with a taut and responsive engine, smooth transmission, and good brakes, suspension and steering. All electrical systems work perfectly. The car features a CD player and chrome wheels with good tires
The car shows 164,000 miles, but the carfax shows a jump of 70,000 miles in a very short timeframe. The condition of this T/bird is that of a car with considerably less mileage, and two independent mechanics have agreed with that. The accelerator pedal shows the wear of a car with less than half the indicated mileage, as do details around the car, such as the drivers seat, engine bay, etc. I have not been able to get to the bottom of the story, but the car really is in stunning condition, and well worth inspection. I feel it is priced accordingly, and a great opportunity for a deal.

Ford recalling nearly 700k Escape CUVs, C-Max hybrids over two separate safety issues
Fri, 09 May 2014Poor Escape. Ever since its launch in 2012, Ford's small CUV has been the subject of many, many, many recalls. And today, The Detroit News is reporting that Ford is adding two more recalls to the 2013-14 model year Escape's permanent record, one of them also involves the C-Max hybrid hatchback.
The first recall, covering 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles, is due to a software glitch that could cause the airbags - specifically, the safety canopy - to not deploy in a timely fashion during rollover crashes. According to the News, Ford says no crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this problem.
The second recall, covering 692,700 Escapes, is related to the door handles. The News reports that the exterior door handles could open while the vehicle is in motion, and could also fail to latch properly. Once again, no crashes or injuries have occurred because of this. The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration has not issued an official notice on either recall as of this writing.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Ford wins second consecutive International Van of the Year award with Transit Connect
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect isn't even on sale yet, but it's already making its presence felt around the world. At a commercial vehicle expo in Russia, the Transit Connect was named the International Van of the Year.
Ford's small work van edged out the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter by just seven points to allow Ford to grab this honor for the second consecutive year, which it won last year with the Transit Custom. Not only does this make Ford the first to ever win the award in back-to-back years, but it's also the fifth time the automaker has won this award since 2003 (two with the Transit Connect, two with the fullsize Transit and once with the Transit Custom). Ford congratulates itself for the accomplishment in a press release posted below.
