Up for auction is a beautiful 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau with the optional, and very rare, Q code 428 V8 with a 4bbl and 7.0L of power. Just took this car in on a trade from that 1981 Buick Riviera listed about a month or so ago. Car has come back to PA and recieved a brand new state inspection good thru Sept of 2014. Fresh PA Title - Antique Vehicle Here are a list of items that have recently been done to the car: Oct '11 - Plugs, wires, total rebuild of Automatic C6 Transmission ($2000) Feb '12 - New Heater Core ($100) Oct '13 - Front Strut Rod Bushing Set Front and Rear Brake Hoses Rear Wheel Cyliders Rear Axle Seals Sundry electrical work to make sure all important functions are working properly, ie horn, reverse, lights, fixed the gauges! Professional Floor Board Repairs, Torque Box repair Total: ($2000) I'm driving the car while the auction is running and it is a blast. Lots of looks and Thumbs Up. Questions at the gas station etc. Big 428 engine runs smooth and the C6 shifts perfectly. Car is on the same chassis as the Lincoln Continental was so the ride is very luxurious. Interior is very cool, the theme of an airplane cockpit is very apparent and there are many styling cues that will give you some nostalgia. I've had a couple friends in the car, and every one of them points out five or six different things that they "have never seen in another car before!" Power windows work, including the power A frame vent windows! Steering wheel pushes out of the way so you can easily get in and out of the car! Remember when you could easily fit into a two door vehicle? Taillights have the trick sequential feature that flashes the three bulbs in the direction you are turning. Very Cool. As nice as the car is, the engine compartment is even better. Looks like it was freshly detailed. The real hook is the engine and trans package for this car. the "Q" in the vin designates the 428cu option for this year, it was less than $100 option and not many people took it. Hard to believe. In some other models, this would increase the value 10x, this car is being priced to sell so don't let it get away. Value will keep increasing over the years if you take as good of care as the previous owners have. Things it needs: - Headliner is starting to sag, will eventually need replaced -Power locks don't hookup -Chip in paint on the front left corner (see Pic) This is a perfect car to drive, enjoy for as long as you want, and then resell for a profit! Car is safe, freshly inspected and ready for a new home. Please feel free to ask any questions. Check all my other auctions, I have new vehicles coming in all the time.

EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang to cost $52,995?
Mon, Dec 1 2014The 2015 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang was one of the shining stars of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. And the Blue Oval's latest muscle car might even have reason to burn a little brighter if a recent rumor about its price proves true. Best of all are rumors that an even more potent version of the Shelby is potentially on the way. According to Horsepower Kings citing unnamed Ford sources at the LA Auto Show, the 2015 GT350 carries a starting price of $52,995, and the Tech package adds a further $2,995 on top of that. There's also the claim of a Track package for an undisclosed price. However, it doesn't look like LA is the last we'll see of the newest Shelby because the source also alleges that a top-rung GT350R is under development with bigger brakes, modified aerodynamics and sportier tires. This rubber-burner is reported to be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. Assuming these claims are correct, it puts the Shelby in fighting form against its two Chevrolet Camaro rivals. Ford reports that the GT350's 5.2-liter V8 pumps out over 500 horsepower and more than 400 pound-feet of torque. At $52,995, it would undercut by a couple of grand the $55,505 (before destination) base price of the 580-hp 2015 ZL1. The super 'Stang might also beat the 505-hp Z/28 with its power rating, while being vastly cheaper than the track-focused Camaro's $72,305 price. This could be quite the performance shoot-out.
