This is a 1968 Ford Thunderbird in great condition and all original! The body is in great shape, the car was originally silver but was painted maroon about 5 years ago, The paint job was thorough and the door panels and under hood and trunk were painted as well. The vinyl top was replaced 3 years ago and is in excellent condition with no sags or tears. The body overall is almost entirely rust free. There is a small spot of surface rust over the right rear tire nor larger than a quarter.

The interior of the car is all original and includes power windows (all working) and an air conditioner. The seats are all black leather and in great shape. There are two cracks in the leather each about 1 inch long on the passenger seat but the rest of the seats are like new.

Under the hood of the car is a ford V8 7.0L 429 Thunderjet with dual exhaust and a 4 barrel holly carburetor. The car is fast and runs very smooth. It has 146,000 original miles and has been regularly serviced with no issues. The engine was recently tuned and turns over no matter the outdoor temperature. The only technical issues I have had with it are wiring related and just with the taillights. The brake reverse and turn signals work just fine but the taillights fail to come on from time to time, this however does not effect the headlights or high beams.

Things that have been recently replaced are the starter, battery, front window motors, and turn signal sequencer. The whole transmission was re-sealed about two years ago and seems to be doing well.

I have many of the original documents associated with the car and am the 3rd owner. I really enjoyed having the car but have recently been forced to give it up.

Ford readying Ranger-based Everest SUV?

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Way back in August, we showed you a Ford concept for the Australian market called the Everest. Now, we can show you that work on the new Ranger-based SUV is well under way.
At this stage, it's still quite clearly a mule (note the misalignment of the front and rear doors), wearing the Ranger's front end and the rump of Ford's overseas Territory crossover. The wheelbase is shorter than a Ranger, according to our spy photographers, which strikes us as somewhat odd for a more passenger-oriented vehicle. Disc brakes should be fitted at all four corners, while the new SUV, which will almost certainly wear the Everest name, should sport a new rear suspension.
In terms of looks, we're expecting the Everest Concept to inform the appearance of the production model. Naturally, there will also be some interior tweaks, particularly around the dashboard, which is covered in these photos.

Ford's struggles in China continue as November sales drop 8 percent

Mon, Dec 11 2017

Ford's sales in China fell 8 percent in November from a year ago, following a 5 percent decline in October, the U.S. automaker said on Monday. The firm's sales in the first 11 months of the year totaled 1.06 million vehicles, down 6 percent from the same period a year ago. Ford's China sales growth has lagged behind rivals in the world's top auto market this year, with the carmaker now looking to overhaul its strategy to revive growth in China under new chief executive Jim Hackett. Among other moves, the review of its China operations will likely see Ford focus on segments such as electric cars and electric commercial vans, with China encouraging to help clean up its polluted and congested city centers. Ford is looking to roll out more new-energy vehicles for China and is planning to experiment with a more direct selling approach in a partnership with Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.

Can an actual Ford F-150 ride on 4 Power Wheels F-150s?

Tue, Dec 9 2014

A lot of kids are rough on their toys, especially when it comes to those made to be used outside, like a four-wheeled kid-size Power Wheels. Whether it's cruising through the sand box, carrying piles of rocks in the driveway or crashing around trees in the backyard, these motorized vehicles often take punishment from the moment the giftwrap comes off. The folks at Fisher-Price decided to give their latest F-150 Power Wheels a true torture test worse than any kid could have ever managed by setting a real 2015 Ford F-150 on top of four of them. Would the little toy trucks explode in a shower of plastic shards in a massive collapse, and if not, could they drive away afterwards? The latest F-150 might be 700 pounds lighter thanks to the switch to aluminum, but it's still a fullsize pickup. According to this clip, the truck weighs in at 4,120 pounds, which puts an average of 1,030 pounds on each of the toys. Check out the video above to see how the stunt goes, and click on the gallery below for some behind-the-scenes looks at the setup.
