Grandpa and Grandma bought two brand new cars in 1978...this Thunderbird (the "good" car saved for trips and Sunday driving) and a brand new Fairmont for "everyday" driving! Nobody knows what became of the Fairmont but, as an Iowa car driven year-round, it's reasonable to assume that it went to it's eternal reward years ago! The Thunderbird, however, is an entirely different story. Driven only on seasonable Sundays and on trips, and never taken out of the garage during the winter, this 35 year old T-Bird just might be the nicest unrestored Thunderbird of it's vintage in the country!

Undercoated by the dealer when new, never smoked in, never driven hard, never left outside, never driven in snow, spare tire never removed from the trunk & always dealer-maintained, it's hard to imagine another unmolested "time capsule" like it anywhere!

302 / 2 Barrel Carb / Automatic Transmission / Rear Wheel Drive / Original Owners Manual and Promotional Brochures / Hideaway Headlights / 4 Brand New Good Year Whitewall Tires / No Significant Scratches or Dings and NO RUST!

Starts very easily, idles smoothly, runs powerfully, shifts crisply without slipping or hesitation, drives down the road straight and true with no rattles, no shimmying, no pulling, no nothing! This car is a testament to good care, proper maintenance, and being used very little!

We want you to be absolutely confident and comfortable when bidding on this car so please don't hesitate to call if you have any questions or concerns...Jon at 701 840 8038. Check my feedback and bid with confidence...NO DISAPPOINTMENTS HERE!

By the way, Minnesota bidders...this car has "permanent" Minnesota "Collector" plates...if they're transferable, you may have them with the car.

If you want to fly in and drive the car home, we will pick you up at the Fargo, ND airport (FAR) or the Minneapolis/St. Paul Intl Airport (MSP) at no add'l charge. If you wish to have the car shipped, we will do our very best to accommodate your shipper! Thanks for your interest!

Former Ford president, Jaguar chairman Nick Scheele dead at 70

Sun, 20 Jul 2014

We have the privilege here at Autoblog of reporting a lot of good news, but it is our duty as well to report the bad news and sad news as well. And this is one of those occasions as the automotive industry mourns the passing of one of its leaders.
Nick Scheele was born in the UK in 1944 and joined the Ford Motor Company upon graduating from the University of Durham in 1966, staying within the Blue Oval's portfolio for the entirety of his career. After moving to North America in 1978, he rose through the ranks to become president of Ford's Mexican operations in 1988. After acquiring Jaguar, Ford appointed Scheele as its chairman.
Scheele subsequently acted as chairman of all of Ford's European operations, making difficult decisions to take the division out of the red and into the black. He briefly headed up Ford's North American division before he was appointed in 2001 as president and chief operating officer of the global automaker, working under CEO Bill Ford following the departure of Jacques Nasser departure and retaining the role until his retirement in 2005.

Shelby American cleans house of 14 concept cars

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Typically when an automaker rolls out a concept car or pre-production prototype, it does its tour and then disappears into the company's archives. Maybe it will be displayed for the public to see in the company's own museum or maybe it will spend most of its time under covers in a warehouse somewhere, but every once in a while, an automaker will open up its history and start selling off its concept cars. For Shelby American, "once in a while" has just rolled around.
The House that Carroll Built is moving from its previous headquarters at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to a new facility off of the Las Vegas strip, and in the process is liquidating fourteen of the rarest cars in its collection. That presents a tremendous opportunity for muscle car collectors to bring one or more of these snakes home.
As you might expect, the catalog is composed mostly of Mustangs, but not exclusively. There's a pair of 289 Cobras: the last of the 50th anniversary slab-sided continuation cars and an original development vehicle, offered at $200,000 apiece. At the other end of the spectrum you'll find the 2013 Shelby Raptor concept for $125k and Focus concept for $50k. And of course there are the Mustangs.
