1960 Ford Thunderbird Base Hardtop 2-door 5.8l on 2040-cars
Pueblo, Colorado, United States
Eye Catching Thunderbird with the right color combination you been looking for, red and white! This beauty is a real head-turner. Not an original restored show car, but a fun daily driver. Last year of that awesome square bird five seater! Best year for the front grill with better design! Overall decent condition with new radial tires, new interior and carpet with two-tone white and red seats, red visors, white headliner, new red dash, red and white door panels, new front and rear windshields/seals, re-chromed bumpers, new battery, powder coated air cleaner and valve covers, cool spoke wheel covers (also have originals), power steering, power brakes, power windows, Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission working alright. All gauges (except fuel level), lights, horn, power, heater, and radio work good. Police Interceptor 352, 300 HP V-8 with original and fresh rebuilt 4 barrel Carter carburetor. Newer tune up and oil change. Car has leaf springs for rear axle which improve ride and handling. Four wheel drums with power assist. Has pac mufflers for that throaty sound! Spare parts include porta-walls, original hub caps, and new brakes shoes all around in box. Unibody construction with some minor signs of rust underneath, however, newer floor board welded on. More of a daily driver as the body/paint has some imperfections, but definitely a great car for the money. Radio works, but fuel level gauge not working. Engine is original with some good pick up and life left; intake manifold replaced; however, there remain small leaks from exhaust manifold. A lot of looks and interest, so if you want an older T-Bird, this could be the one to have most fun with. |

Ford bringing adaptive steering to the masses [w/video]
Thu, 29 May 2014Within the next year, Ford will offer a brand-new adaptive steering system (unimaginatively dubbed "Ford Adaptive Steering"), and this week, the automaker invited us out to its proving grounds in Dearborn, MI to get a taste for how its new setup works. In function, Ford's system doesn't greatly differ from the majority of other adaptive steering units already on the market from companies like Audi or BMW, but consider this: Ford will be the first non-luxury automaker to offer this technology, and uniquely, the whole system fits inside the car's steering wheel.
Ford's engineers have worked hard to create a system that can be tacked on to the company's full lineup of cars, trucks and utility vehicles, and says that the adaptive steering will be uniquely tuned for each specific vehicle. The automaker will not confirm exactly which vehicle will launch with this technology, but for the purpose of our preview, we tested the technology in a 2014 Fusion - a vehicle with already-good behind-the-wheel feel, one that the company says best demonstrates its current steering efforts.
2014 Ford Mustang GT
Fri, 17 May 2013I was more than a year removed from my last experience with the Mustang GT and its delicious 5.0 V8 when this new 2014 example rolled up to my driveway recently. Good weather and a planned road trip across the state meant that I would get plenty of seat time in this conservatively specified example, too. In total, I logged about 400 miles in a week of driving - not a lot for some of you super commuters out there, but quite a lot for this work-from-home journalist.
The basic formula of the 5.0 has stayed the same for 2014. The 2013 model year saw a number of updates to keep the Mustang fresh until it's replaced with an all-new generation for 2015. So, for its bon voyage tour, the fifth-generation Pony Car has seen only a few modifications: a couple of new paint colors (Oxford White and Ruby Read Metallic), trim and wheel revisions and, sadly, the deletion of the Boss 302 from the Ford lineup. However, while the limited-edition Boss is likely to reappear sometime after the gen-six Mustang makes its debut in 2015, the GT Track Package cars like the one I tested provide at least a partial solution for those looking for hot laps.
Driving Notes
Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both
Tue, 12 Mar 2013A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
