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.

First 1K next-gen Mustangs to carry 2014 1/2 model year?
Thu, 18 Jul 2013A new report from Mustangs Daily, citing insider sources at Ford, tells us that the Blue Oval will produce 1,000 next-generation Mustangs with the model year designation of 2014 ½, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the storied marque. The commemorative half-year designation is a rumor that's been swirling in Mustang forums for quite some time now, and seems more plausible than ever with this most recent report. Certainly it's not far-fetched to believe that Ford will want to make a big deal of the golden anniversary for its most-loved model.
The story (compiled by Drew Phillips, who runs the aforementioned Mustang site when he's not directing the photography on these pages) goes on to say that the limited-run cars will be the first built on the new Mustang platform internally known as S550 (and spied testing in the attached gallery). Each car is said to carry a "special" VIN and build number, though no performance upgrades versus the 2015 cars to follow are in the works. A collector's dream then, rather than a weekend racer's.
Cadillac ELR, Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas win Eyes on Design awards
Fri, 18 Jan 2013This year's annual Eyes on Design awards were presented at the end of press days for the Detroit Auto Show on Tuesday. Given out for the best production and concept car designs that debuted at the show, and voted on by an esteemed panel of actual car designers, this year's award for best production vehicle design went to the 2014 Cadillac ELR. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, which was the show favorite among Autoblog editors, apparently did not impress the Eyes on Design judges enough with its all-new vent-festooned design.
The award for best concept design was actually split as a tie among the Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas concepts. Last year's winners were the 2013 Ford Fusion and the Lexus LF-LC concept.
The Eyes on Design organization also presented a new honor this year called the Catalyst Award to Bob Lutz, former Vice Chairman of General Motors. Lutz is reported to have given a defense of design in his acceptance speech, arguing that advancements in quality across the industry as a whole have made good design a key differentiator for buyers.
Volkswagen Golf, Ford F-150 named 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year
Mon, Jan 12 2015Congratulations, Volkswagen Golf/GTI and Ford F-150. You've just been named the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year, kicking off the first press day of the Detroit Auto Show. The Golf faced some seriously stiff competition from its runners-up, the Ford Mustang and Hyundai Genesis. But the Golf has been a highly awarded vehicle since its launch, including recently being named Motor Trend's Car of the Year. As for the Truck/Utility award, it wasn't immediately clear that the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 would win the North American honor, topping the Chevrolet Colorado and Lincoln MKC. The Chevy, after all, has been widely praised since arriving this fall, including taking home MT's Truck of the Year award. In 2014, Chevrolet had a sweep of the NACTOY awards, with the Corvette Stingray and Silverado taking top honors. Here's a look at the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year voting breakdown. As you can see, it wasn't exactly neck and neck. Car of the Year Volkswagen Golf/GTI – 256 points Ford Mustang – 204 points Hyundai Genesis – 110 points Truck/Utility of the Year Ford F-150 – 297 points Chevrolet Colorado – 205 points Lincoln MKC – 68 points The winners were determined by the votes of 57 North American jurors who work in all forms of media – magazine, newspaper, television, online and radio, and their ballots were tabulated in secret by accounting firm Deloitte & Touche. Autoblog editors Sharon Carty and Chris Paukert are members of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year jury.
