                                             WOW !  WOW ! & WOW  AGAIN !!!

         Check out this " truly wonderfull" car.  So many times you will  see a car advertized as "low mileage" , "survivor", or  other buzz words

    describing it. But more times than not, it turns out to be a car that although it may have low miles etc., A  lot of restoration is needed

     or was done before the car could live up to the description given in the ad. Sometimes, it's just a lie !.

          NOT HERE!. Let me tell you about this car. This was a one owner car from the time it was new until the owner passed away and

     i purchased it from the family just  about two years ago. I was told that the car was garage kept since new and never exposed to bad weather

     and i   believe it!.  You will too when you see it in person. It is a rust and corrosion free automobile !.

       It is "COMPLETELY" original .) and it is  in just about as close to  " original new" condition  as i could imagine a car to

   be !. It has 32700 documented miles on it  Great service records along with the original  bill of sale and " protecto- plate."

      It's  really quite amazing .When you look at things like the carpet, the headliner, the fabric on the seats, etc.

     you can't help but wonder how someone was able to maintain a car in this condition for so many years.

      Here are some details.

     _____________________________EXTERIOR_______________________________________________________________

           As i hope you can see in the photos, the body on the car is as straight as an arrow. the dark blue paint is clear&bright with

      only a " very few", very minor", surface scratches hardly worth noting but i don't want to leave anything out.

            The chrome bumpers as well as the the grill and all the exterior bright work including the wheel covers are like new Even the rubber

      bumper guards are in great shape.

          There is however , a very  small dent in the aluminum fender trim on the rear passenger  side. I think that it rubbed something in the garage.

          It is very insugnifficant. The White vinyl top is perfect condition.  All of the glass is in great condition including the windshield, side and rear   

       glass and side mirror glass.  The headlights,taillights, parking lights, emblems, etc. are all in perfect condition. Open the door s and check

     out the sill plates and hinges as well as the paint etc.

   ____________________________INTERIOR_______________________________________________________________

        You know the old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" ?  well take a very close look a the photos of the interior.

 and  remember "It's all original !".  The headliner looks like it's a day old. The seat covers  don't show any wear and when

 you sit down on them, you feel like you are in a new car. a new car. The carpet looks like no one ever stepped on it.  The arm

rests are in perfect condition as are the door panels. All the interior brightwork ( door handles, trim, etc.) is like new.

  The dash is the same ( like new). All of the guages work. The dash glass is clear & bright  but as you may expect, the clock doesn't

 work !. I wonder why the clocks never seem to work in older cars.?.

  _______________________________MECHANICAL________________________________________________________-

      The 351M/400 motor runs perfectly and even gets good gas mileage. The car  is equipped with power steering that steers effortlessly.

      power brakes that stop on a dime and an  automatic transmisson that shifts smoothly and doesn't leak. It even  has  air conditioning

      that blows "ice cold". The tires are brand new. The original radio still  works and there are remote control right & left side exterior  mirrors .

           The car sits straight and level on the tight and solid suspension. No rust under the car. The exhaust system is good.

       The front end, brakes, steering and electrical system are all good. No problems anywhere !!!.

         The car has been "Zebart" and" Hercules" rust proof protected from new".

     ________________________-OVERVIEW____________________________________________________________________-

                 The 1978 Thunderbird was known as "the baby Lincoln"  or " Fords luxury sports car".  It has the sporty look  along with

        comfort of a luxury car. You can drive this car anywhere from a cross country trip to a local car show.  Don't be surprised if

       you pick up a trophy or two.  Whether you are a seasoned car collector,   a first time buyer of a vintage car, or maybe you're just a

        Tbird fan, This is a really nice car that you will be proud to own and show off.

               Here's wishing you good luck with your bidding !.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Marchionne open to combination with Ford or GM

Fri, Mar 13 2015

At the depths of the auto industry implosion, there was widely reported talk that General Motors and Chrysler would be merged into a mighty import-beating behemoth. While such notions clearly never materialized, that doesn't mean the idea is dead. In fact, FCA boss Sergio Marchionne still welcomes the idea of a partnership with either GM or Ford. He responded positively to the idea, calling it "technically feasible," when asked about it at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, Automotive News reports. "There's bantering that goes on all the time," Marchionne told AN, before quashing suspicions that a plan was in the works by adding that "nothing substantive" was going on. Our favorite black sweater enthusiast isn't quite as interested in the idea of teaming with a foreign manufacturer like PSA Peugeot Citroen, or in the rumored tie-up with Volkswagen, though. That is a shame, particularly in regards to Marchionne's shut down of a partnership with the French, although it isn't necessarily surprising – FCA already consists of eight automakers, and as Sergio told AN, there's really nothing at PSA that could help the company out. What are your thoughts? Is there an obvious project or segment that would benefit from an FCA partnership with Ford or GM? Have your say in Comments.

Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang appears at EAA Oshkosh

Sat, 26 Jul 2014

Ford is back at the Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, WI, on July 31 auctioning off its seventh Mustang for charity, and this is one seriously mean looking 2015 'Stang. All of the money from the sale goes to give free introductory flights to young people to get them interested in aviation.
We recently saw this latest EAA Mustang as a sketch. However, it looks a whole lot more menacing in person. Dubbed the Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang, it takes liberal inspiration from Lockheed Martin's latest fighter jet, and the customization makes the pony car look ready for a role in Top Gun.
On the outside, the special Mustang wears titanium-color paint that's offset by a black and yellow stripe running from hood to rear. Out back things get really wild with a mix of bright yellow and black that flows diagonally all the way to the rear spoiler. The design is based on the livery of early production F-35s. If the rousing color scheme isn't enough to get you interested, the car also gets a carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser, lowered suspension and a set of custom 21-inch wheels with yellow brake calipers.
