ou are looking at a customized 1962 Ford Thunderbird that has been transformed into a sweet pro touring car. This car was built to be a driver, it gets a ton of attention at the cruises. The rear wheel-wells were radiused and the trim was removed from the rear quarters, making this Thunderbird look more sleek and smooth than how it rolled off the assembly in 1962.
Vehicle Specifications: • 1962 Ford Thunderbird • 10,500 miles • Hardtop • Coupe • Automatic 8 cylinder 460 • Red leather interior • Power windows • Clean title • Custom aftermarket rims Drivetrain modifications include: • 460 engine • MSD 6AL ignition • MSD distributor • Edelbrock carburetor • Edelbrock performance intake • New aluminum radiator with electric fan • C6 transmission • New Driveshaft and U-joints • 4 wheel disc breaks • New front wheel bearings and seals • Upgraded master cylinder and booster • New rag joints • New power steering pump • New battery • New starter • American Racing wheels, 17 x 7 front, 20 x 8.5 rear • Hankook Ventus V12 EVO Tires, 225-45-17 front, 245-40-20 rear • Rebuilt 3.50 Ford 9" rear • New rear wheel bearings and axle seals *All of this work has been done in the past six months; all these items are new, not new three years ago In a prior build someone built this into a hot rod and installed a fuel cell in the trunk. A brand new gas tank, filler neck, straps, and sending until will need to be installed by the new owner. Fuel gauge is not currently connected; it will work when connected to the new sending unit. There in no rust on the Thunderbird at all. The only imperfection on the body is a very small blister on the front passenger side of the hood. The chrome is in great shape. The vent windows have the usual pitting and there are some minor dings on some of the trim. The vehicle also includes a new set of window felts that will need to be installed by the new owner. The interior is in nice shape, the seats and headliner were redone, the door panels need attention (door arm rest specifically started to crack). Overall, this is a nice straight car with no excuses. I am not looking for any trades. On Aug-23-14 at 05:48:10 PDT, seller added the following information: This is a hardtop not convertible , my daughter posted for me and made mistake sorry |

Focus ST diesel variant coming, just don't look for it here
Fri, 07 Mar 2014A few years back, Volkswagen made some waves when it announced the Golf GTD - a diesel-powered car that, aside from its ultra-efficient, ultra-torquey engine, was identical to the gas-powered GTI. That meant cosseting sport seats, larger wheels, sportier suspension, larger brakes and a body kit that made the GTD indistinguishable from the GTI, except for the three little letters on the back and in the grille.
Now, Ford is looking to replicate VW's success, with a diesel version of the Focus ST. According to Motor Trend, the diesel-powered ST will use a 2.0-liter, 182-horsepower four-cylinder. With an unspecified amount of torque on offer (we'd guess around 280 pound-feet), the diesel hot hatch should hit 62 miles per hour in about eight seconds.
The report, which originally comes from Auto Express, claims the ST Diesel was confirmed by Ford Chief Marketing Officer Mark Fields during this week's Geneva Motor Show. Not surprisingly, it doesn't appear there are any plans to bring a diesel-powered Focus of any kind to the US, let alone one that uses the suspension, steering and other items from the ST. Of course, if there's an official confirmation from Ford, we'll be sure to report on it.
Ford car-camo artist works his craft on Australia's new Falcon XR8
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Ford is among the kings of concealment when it comes to test cars. On one recent Mustang SVT mule, the automaker went to the extreme of putting baffles over the exhausts to hide how many there were. Sounds like a lot of work, right? In a new video, the Blue Oval has decided to take fans behind the scenes to show them what it takes to camouflage a prototype. In this case the subject was the recently unveiled 2014 Falcon XR8 for Australia.
Ford's prototype build coordinator Down Under has the very appropriate name of Neil Trickey, and it's his job to obfuscate the important bits of test cars to keep them out of spy shooters' camera lenses. Trickey calls his job a "dark art," and he shows off some of the tricks of his trade in the video. It turns out that the fabric we often see on mules is a type of lycra, but his team isn't above getting out a can of spray paint to conceal parts, too.
Scroll down to watch a video about a man who you probably wish could be a little worse at his job.
Amid Mulally rumors, Bill Ford praises company's deep bench
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Bill Ford went on the offensive to combat the rumors that CEO Alan Mulally would leave Dearborn for Steve Ballmer's vacated position leading Microsoft, adding that even if the 68-year-old, former Boeing exec were to depart, the Ford executive team is in a good place.
"I'm happy [Mulally] is going to stick around. But we also feel really good about where we are in terms of succession," Ford told Bloomberg TV, according to Automotive News. Rumors first cropped up about Mulally leaving Ford when AllThingsD speculated that he was in the running, early last month. In that same report, which you can read here, Ford's board of directors reportedly okayed the CEO stepping down ahead of his planned retirement in 2014.
That opened the floodgates, culminating in a report from a few days ago that the rumors over Ballmer's successor just might be true. The story is especially troubling, as Ford hasn't had Mulally under contract, according to AN. "He's here as long as he and I would like it to happen," Ford said, "We're also cognizant of training the next generation and getting them ready to go as well."
