Up for auction is my 65 T-Bird convertible, whice I owned for the last 25 plus years. Drove it to meets all around the NE, and to most local shows. Great road car, drives, and handles like an expensive new car. This Thunderbird has the original leather black seats, in good condition. Car has been repainted about 10 years ago, and in good, to fair condition. Has some minor scratchs, but no dents, nor rot. Bumpers are all original, with original chrome, no dents, or missing parts. All the rest of chrome is all in good condition. Has power windows, all working. Has a "swing away " streering wheel, allowing driver to enter, exit car easy. The convertible top is original, with no tears, etc. One pad for the top, whice is located inside of the car has a portion missing, but dose not hinder the woking of the top. The top is in working condition, all relays work, same for hyd cylinders. I replaced some of the hyd hoses, and did replace the top motor. Also, replaced the limit switch. I added a "tunic top", that covers the back seat, as seen in the picture. Has the 390 engine, with auto-trans. Since I had the car, I replaced the lifters, oil pump, water pump, and had tune ups done. Has new white wall tires. Has the original hub caps in good condition. The radio was replaced by preivous owner with a am/fm type. Same for the ant. This Thunderbird is a good example of a convertible, that will allow you to drive, and if it's your desire to do a restoration, you can drive it also. I did also add a passenger side Thunderbird mirror, whice I forgot to memtion. I'm selling off some of my cars due to age, and health, and this is the first being offered. Along with the car, go's all the parts that I aqquired over the time I had this car, as well as the used parts replaced. Will also add the repair manual. Please look over the pictures, and do ask questions before bidding. Good luck, and thanks for looking.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
Ford Police Interceptors win acceleration war against Dodge, Chevy
Thu, 17 Oct 2013Just last month, Ford announced its first-ever non-pursuit-rated version of the Police Interceptor sedan for agencies looking to maximize fuel economy, but that doesn't mean that Ford is giving up on chasing down the bad guys. While the Dodge Charger can lay claim to the fastest lap time at the Grattan Raceway test facility held by the Michigan State Police, the results are now in for the Police Vehicle Evaluation acceleration tests. And Ford's Police Interceptor duo (sedan and utility) came out on top.
In the acceleration tests, Ford says that the Taurus-based PI Sedan with the newly available 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 was the quickest among prospective police cars in both 0-60 and 0-100 mile per hour times. The sedan posted a 0-60 time of 5.66 seconds with all-wheel drive and 5.71 seconds with front-wheel drive, besting V8-powered competitors like the Chevy Caprice and Dodge Charger by more than 0.3 seconds. These rivals close the gap on the AWD sedan in the 0-100 test with the Ford taking 13.5 seconds compared to the Chevy's time of 14.35 and the Dodge's time of 14.7.
As for utility vehicles, the Explorer-based PI Utility, which accounts for 60 percent of Ford's police vehicle sales, essentially went head-to-head with the V8-powered Chevy Tahoe with similar results. Equipped with the new EcoBoost engine option, this big SUV hit 60 mph in just 6.28 seconds and 100 mph in 15.51 seconds compared to times of 8.22 seconds and 21.95 seconds, respectively, for the Tahoe. Other important tests in the PVE include braking and top speed, but while no automakers have stepped up to boast about their numbers in either of these categories, Ford's images show that the V8 Caprice had the highest top speed of the cars at 155 mph while the Tahoe's 139-mph speed made it the fastest utility vehicle.
2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium
Mon, 28 Oct 2013You might not be interested in owning a subcompact (B-segment) hatchback for $20,000. Let's be clear from the get go here: there are any number of reasonable arguments for staying away from the highest-content versions of these small cars. Ford's player in the B-segment arena is the newly updated 2014 Fiesta, and the Titanium trim represents the most luxurious instantiation of the model. We recently were loaned a Fiesta Titanium for a week, whose final sticker price hit $20,390, with navigation being the only standalone option added to the bottom line. By way of comparison, the most basic version of the all new, one-segment-up Mazda3 hatchback costs $19,740 with delivery and destination accounted for, and no options added on.
Hold on to that thought for a moment, we'll get back to it.
