                                             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 !.

XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.

Honda giving away free Civics in Forza Horizon to celebrate launch

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Just a friendly reminder from Honda: The Honda Challenge Pack DLC is now available for Forza Horizon. To reward you for the trouble of pressing a few buttons on your Xbox controller, you'll get the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe, an HPD Rally Fit and a 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe in your garage, and you'll get them free. The event of the new DLC has also kicked off a photo contest that will reward someone with an Xbox 360 console wrapped in a Honda Civic Si theme.
Otherwise, the word "Challenge" keeps coming up because of the chance to run an online race against IndyCar driver Scott Dixon. The track for that digital throwdown has already been decided by Xbox players who voted before January 8. Yet it's not too late to hop into the Honda section in Xbox Live and lay down a time fast enough for a shot at the title "The Driver That Shellacked Scott Dixon," and meeting the man in person.
Check out the press release from Honda below, and the sweetness that is the 1986 Civic Si in the gallery above.

Ford Fiesta ST gets worked out on the track

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

We're big fans of the turbocharged Ford Focus ST, and we're plenty excited that the Blue Oval will be offering a similar treatment on the smaller Fiesta here in the United States, too. We first saw the production-ready Fiesta ST five-door at the Los Angeles Auto Show last fall, and Ford has now released this video of a Euro-spec three-door ST being flung around the track.
But not just any track - the challenging Track 7 of Ford's Lommel Proving Grounds in Belgium. The course features 20 turns and plenty of elevation changes along its 2.7-mile loop, and David Put, a vehicle dynamic specialist at Ford, shows just how good the pint-sized Fiesta ST is at handling the lot, even getting the smallest ST up on three wheels every now and then.
It sure does look like a lot of fun, and makes us really eager for our chance to try this ourselves. Scroll down to see the hot little Ford getting busy.
