1885 Ford Thunderbird Fila V6, 60k Miles, Southern Beauty One Family. Excellent! on 2040-cars
Woodruff, South Carolina, United States
|
Up for sale is the beautiful low mileage 1985 Ford Thunderbird Fila Edition with the 3.8 V6. It has been in upstate South Carolina all it's life and has been kept in the same family always. This 85 TBird has only 60,616 original miles and is in wonderful condition.
The outside is burgandy and is in excellent condition. The original paint shines very well and has only minor wear from use. There will be a minor scratch here and there but this TBird shows almost as new. The tires are new with very few miles. All glass is nice. The dark grey leather/suede inside is virtually new with minimal wear. The sport seats are very comfortable. The power driver seat moves with ease and both front seats are articulated to give firm support. The dash, steering wheel, door panels and headliner are as new. This rare Fila Bird spent a good deal of time locked away in a garage which accounts for it's formidable condition. All options work as they should. The 3.8 V6 starts and runs well but could benefit from a tune up as this TBird has been scarcely driven for the last few years. The motor is clean and there are no signs of leaks as of the picture taking. It has been started regularly and driven a few miles at a time. It has been on our showroom, not for sale, for a couple of years along with a stunning 1961 Cadillac DeVille, which will go on Ebay soon. The owner would like to see these kept well by new owners. Please bid with confidence. This 1985 Fila Thunderbird can be driven to it's new destination but the condition ( Excellent) is such that I would not advise it. You may not want to risk any damage to it. But if you are bidding for a daily driver then head in and drive away if you want. It will be serviced and ready for travel either way. If you are nearby, please, by all means, come by and inspect this beautiful Thunderbird in person. The reserve is low for a vehicle of this type and condition. Thanks for looking! |

2015 Ford Mustang prototype spotted on the street
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Our trusty spy photographers have snapped the first photos of the 2015 Ford Mustang prototype out on public streets. With nearly every square inch of the machine covered in heavy camouflage, it's difficult to discern details, but we can see smallish horizontal headlamps at work in the coupe's nose. Ford has made it clear that modern lighting technology will allow the company to get away from large, expensive headlamp arrays in the near future, and the 2015 Mustang may very well be the first of the automaker's products to bow with the new tech. The philosophy was first displayed on the very attractive Evos Concept.
The extensive cladding doesn't extend all the way to the prototype's rockers in the instance, giving us a look at the heavily-sculpted sills. Overall, this test car looks considerably smaller than the current generation Mustang, and elements like a short front overhang and beefy dual-piston calipers give us plenty of hope for the future model. Of course, reports that the 2015 Mustang will bow with an independent rear suspension and EcoBoost power certainly don't hurt our feelings, either.
Ford to cease Australian automaking operations after 90 years
Thu, 23 May 2013Ford began manufacturing cars in Australia in 1925 with the Model T. In 2016, Ford will stop manufacturing cars Down Under, including the Falcon and the Territory SUV. Ford Australia CEO Bob Graziano has reportedly confirmed the closure of the company's Broadmeadows assembly plant and the Geelong engine plant, both in the state of Victoria. There will be 650 jobs lost at Broadmeadows, 510 sacrificed at Geelong. Of the roughly 3,000 workers the Blue Oval has in Australia, it's said it will try to retain about 1,000 of them at its R&D and product development facilities.
The writing hasn't just been on the wall, it's been a regular item in all the papers and on Ford's bottom line for years. As recently as 2003, Ford sold nearly 75,000 Falcons, but over the next four years, annual sales dropped by something like 10,000 units, and over the last two years, it has sold less than 20,000 per year. It isn't only Ford that has suffered - sales of the other large, locally produced sedan, the Holden Commodore, have also gone over the precipice, triggering the same kind of angst about Holden's continued existence. Ford is the smallest of Australia's local automakers, Holden and Toyota the others, and has posted losses of $AUD141 million last year ($136M US) and $AUD600 million ($580M US) in the past five years. Graziano said the cost of manufacturing is simply too expensive in the country, twice as high as Europe and three times as high as Asia, and there no way to make a business case for staying in the country.
In January 2012, Ford Australia announced it would stay in the country until at least 2016, but by July of the same year, most outside observers were quietly declaring that 2016 would be the last year of Ford Down Under, and even the speculation was making other observers nervous. Ford received money from the Victorian government last year to aid its refresh of the Falcon and Territory, which will continue on schedule for the 2014 model year. A front- and all-wheel-drive sedan on a global platform is predicted to replace the Falcon, with some other SUV expected to replace the Territory. The company says it still intends to expand its lineup in the country.
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
