Up for sale is by 1962 thunderbird sports roadster. I have owned the car since 2006. It came for CO but was orginialy sold in CA.I have docomentation from 1988 when the car was baught by Carl Dane of Nascar Fame. You can look him up on line. At that time he had the car restored including new paint, chrome,engine and transmission gone over. Sometime before that a set of orginial Ford 3x2 setup was put one the car. Carbs are dated 1962 and are correct in every detail including the right crank case breather tubes and air cleaner. The gas line is rubber from the fuel pump to carbs however. An orginial autolite carb and 4lb intake and air cleaner is included in the sale if one chooses to put in on. The 3x2 runs great. In 1988 Mr. Dane sold the car to his nefew. He had a brand new top put on and a new top motor and raditor core instaled. I have detailed records that were included with the sale of the car to me at this point. Since I have had the car I have done many inprovements to it. New: exhaust system(front to rear), brake pads and cylinders, water pump, fuel pump, steering box. all alum.trim and switches replaced, new wire wheels(the 5 orginials are included and are not really bad, slightly dull). The front seat covers looked to have been replaced (nice). The rear ones look to be the orginials and are nice also. The interior trim has been polished and looks new. Dash pad looks new and was probably replaced with a NOS ford part in 1988. Car has brand new carpet. Door panel are orginial along with the sun visors and are GREAT. Chrome on dash including all knobs is extra nice. Horn button has been replated, ring is orginal and nice. Steering wheel is like new with no crackes or scratches.Rotanda Tach was added by me and works find. Cup is like new. There are two radios that come with the car. The orginial AM and the aftermarket AM/FM that I put in. Both work find. No extra holes cut anywhere. Same with clock, orginial and the new quartz. All guages and controls work as they should.The AC  has not worked since I had the car but all factory parts are present.I do not have the skill to work on this but I do know the clutch on the compressor does work.BODY: This is the most amazing thing about this car. I can not find any rust at all on this car,top or bottom. I went over it with a magnet when I bought the car and couldn't find any body filler anywhere Panels are stright and alinment is right on. I would say paint is 9 out of ten. There are no dings or dents Grill has been polished.The out side stainless trin has not been polishe(did not know now to take off) and there is a small dimple in two of the six pieces. Other car trim (emblems, beezels,door handles, mirror, ect are like new. Rubber trim is excellent. Rear weights are installed in trunk but the front ones are in boxes and not installed. Probably left off when front bumper was replated. TOP: Top is excellent with no rips or tears.Window is clear with no scratches.The darn tap on window is broken but should not be hard to fix.Top worked find when I got the car but the trunk lid does come up a little slow.Goes down find. Rest of top componts work find. All switches and relays work as they should.SUPENSION:New rebuilt of front and new springs on back with all new bushings. Shocks looked good(with no leaks) and were not replaced. New radial tires is 2007 including spare.   SUMMARY:This is a beauitful sports roadster(a early one  and a real one) I have the docmentation.

MotorWeek finds nice things to say about the 1993 Ford Probe

Tue, Mar 8 2016

This latest in MotorWeek's series of Retro Reviews continues its recent trend of remembering the massive glut of sports coupes that hit the market in the '90s. While vehicles like the Mitsubishi 3000GT, Mazda RX-7, and Ford Mustang all enjoy solid reputations down to this day, the 1993 Ford Probe, well... doesn't. As you'll soon see, though, the show's opinion suggests the coupe's second generation isn't really all that bad. Turns out they just weren't particularly sporty. Ford and Mazda developed the Probe together, and the Japanese company supplied both the base 115-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder and the 164-hp 2.5-liter V6 in the GT trim. The original's pseudo-angular look gave way to a much smoother shape for the second generation. Of course, pop-up headlights remained, which were a design hallmark for many of this era's sports coupes. After driving it, MotorWeek proclaims the Probe is "a winner" and considers the handling a "delight." That's not a big surprise, considering that in those days, a car had to be really bad not to get a decent review from Television's Original Automotive Magazine. However, the show hints at some of the reasons the coupe isn't so well remembered today. Even the GT reportedly suffers from soft springs and lots of understeer, which sounds like exactly the opposite anyone hoping to drive the coupe enthusiastically would want. To sum it all up, we're sure you're just as happy as we are that Ford went back on its initial plan to shelve the Mustang in favor of the front-drive Probe. Related Video:

eBay Find of the Day: 25-station video gaming trailer w/ bonus Ford F-250

Fri, Nov 28 2014

Why, you might be asking yourself, is Autoblog showing me an eBay Motors listing for a 2006 Ford F-250 and a box trailer (with a badly cropped photo to boot)? It's not because we're highly interested in this blue-collar rig, to be sure, but rather because we're interested in throwing the greatest Forza party of all time. Housed in that innocuous white 26-foot trailer is a gamer's delight, with 25 Xbox 360 systems connected up to 25 high-definition monitors and 24 headsets to keep everyone locked into the action (one of the stations is outside the trailer). When connected up to one of two included generators, the setup allows for two-dozen combatants to square off, back-to-back and head-to-head. Sure, the Buy It Now price of $79,000 seems steep considering the trailer will need about ten grand worth of Xbox One or Playstation 4 upgrades in the near future. But that doesn't mean you couldn't squeeze out a few more years of massive multiplayer fun. Check out the listing here, and do let us know if you buy it, we'd love to come over and game.

Ford shares falling on news of lower-than-expected profits next year

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

Ford has released projections for its 2013 profits, along with predictions of its 2014 earnings, and the news has forced the company's stock to stumble, falling over seven percent as of this writing. The Blue Oval is expecting earnings of $8.34 billion for 2013, although the bulk of that is coming largely from its North American operations, as troubles abroad continue to take a toll.
Calling 2013 an "outstanding" year, Ford expects its revenue to be up about 10 percent, thanks to gains in market share everywhere but Europe. But it's 2014 predictions that are causing stock prices to fall, as the Dearborn-based manufacturer expects pre-tax profits to fall to $7 to $8 billion, because of troubles in both Europe and South America, according to a report from Reuters. This is despite an expansion plan that will see it open an additional factory in the southern hemisphere, as well as two plants in China, all in a bid to launch 23 new or refreshed products next year.
The issues in South America aren't so much related to a fall in sales - Ford expects improved profits in Brazil and Argentina - but because of currency devaluations in Venezuela that are projected to cost it around $350 million. While that would still allow it to break even with 2013, Ford cites continued economic risks that could push losses even higher.
