 I need to sell this car before winter hits even though I will be sad to see it go.  This is a 1960 Ford Thunderbird with an automatic transmission.  I bought this car a few years ago with the intention of restoring her.  She is ready to be restored to mint condition.  The body is STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW.  There is NO RUST on the under body and only a small rust spot on the rear passenger side lower panel, just rear of the fender well; it is the size of a quarter.  The body is a 9 of 10.  Paint is the original color and shows age (worn away in some spots and mostly dull).  As I intended to restore her, I initially stared working on her mechanically.  The entire front end has recently been taken apart, cleaned, inspected and lubed.  She got 2 new ball joints and a bit of honing on both front wheel cylinders.  When we checked the rear wheel cylinders they were in good shape.  The entire breaking system has  been combed through.  The drums (front and rear) are in great shape with no warp and the shoes have good lift left on them.   The brake line to the two rear wheels is a new single line not spliced.  I was told by the previous owner that the master cylinder had recently been rebuilt so assume it has been rebuilt in the past 4 years.  The car has had a complete tune-up in the last 1000 miles and all fluid levels were checked and all were in line where they should be including the differential. The carburetor is a Holly that is a 4 barrel which is dialed all the way down.  My mechanic says it is a bit too big for the car.  The motor is not original but was a Ford 352 that has been bored to a 380 and rebuilt.  I do not know when the motor was rebuilt.  Transmission is a not stock C6 that is in perfect working condition. Nothing is wrong with the car mechanically besides a small crack in the passenger side exhaust manifold. The odometer states somewhere around 90,000 and I would assume by the condition of the car that the car itself only has 90,000 miles on it but I am not sure.  The Exhaust system is newer.  The lock for the doors is the same key as the ignition and I have two keys for that.  There is a separate key for the trunk and I believe one other key that may be for the glove box.  The interior is in above average condition for its age and all the parts that go with the interior come with the car even though they may not be installed (basically just trim pieces).  The only thing that is missing is the original switch for the heat/defrost.  I had the tracks moved back for the passenger seat and new tracks made for the driver seat so the seats can go back farther.  Power driver seat does work as well as all of the lights, high beams, interior lights and horn.  The car has air conditioning which is not original and when it was added they put in a different heat/air switch.  I have not tried the heat or the air conditioning because I drive the car with the windows down and I have never driven it when it is cold out.  Tires have good tread but are old and I would recommend replacing them.  I have the original window sticker and bill of sale for the car which shows the options the car came with.  The car was sold in the northeast but I was told by the previous owner is spent most of its life in the Mesa, AZ.  I've got more than $10,000 in the car but I have no garage for her for winter.  $6000 will buy her.  $500 non refundable is due within 48 hours of auction end through paypal.

2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.

Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
