1986 FORD THUNDERBIRD-78231.7 ORIGIINAL MILES FIX OR PARTS DESCRIPTION -For your consideration is this 1986 Ford Thunderbird in used condition. I purchased this car about 3 years ago from the estate of the original owner with 58,598 original miles on it.This car has been a daily driver since I bought it. Last week on 7-17-14 I drove it home from work and parked it,a couple hours later I went out to leave and it wouldn't start.The car turns over fine but doesn't fire. I don't like working on cars and only do what I feel comfortable doing. I have a buddy that works on cars and he checked it out.He says the fuel pump is shot on the car. This is a tank mounted pump and would require dropping the gas tank to repair it. A local auto parts store says the pump is about $100 plus shipping. We found the gas pump safety switch in the trunk and it was not tripped. I even bypassed the switch and car will not start. The other issue is the drivers seatbelt stationary part(2nd to last pic) is broken. A spring inside must be broken belt will not lock in. I had a salvage yard search for one and they couldn't find it. The original radio was shot and I put a Pioneer stereo in the car. I'm going to keep the stereo so car will have no radio in it. Someone who likes to work on cars could get this running and get alot of driving out of it.Car has no dents but some rust along rockers. Air conditioning and heat both work fine. Car is located in central Iowa and can be picked up there. Half of payment due at auction end,balance paid when car is picked up. I have clear title and will sign it over when you pick up car. I would like the car gone within 30 days of auction close. Feel free to email or call with any questions. My cell is 515-297-1289 and ask for Don. Best to call after 3:30 central time |

Ford builds one-off 50th anniversary Mustang Convertible for charity
Thu, 08 May 2014At the New York Auto Show this year, Ford revealed a special-edition Mustang to honor the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples will be made, all of them fixed-roof coupes. But the Blue Oval automaker has just announced that it's also building a single 50 Years edition convertible that it will raffled off for charity.
The first production example of the new Mustang Convertible to roll off the line this fall, this one-off will pack many of the features on the 50 Years coupe, including its white paintjob, chrome trim, aluminum dashboard, two-tone upholstery, contrast stitching, special 19-inch wheels and special-edition badging throughout.
This unique cabrio will also be fitted with a special performance pack including Pirelli PZero rubber, Brembo brakes and a limited-slip differential to help get the 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque from the 5.0-liter V8 through the six-speed manual transmission and down to the road. It'll also feature a serial plaque with the number 0001 of 0001 and chairman Bill Ford's signature.

But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:

Ford pits The Stig against Gran Turismo 6 in Focus ST Goodwood run
Thu, 03 Jul 2014The Goodwood Festival of Speed is one of the world great automotive gatherings. So, it was the perfect event for Ford to give the refreshed 2015 Focus ST its world debut in front of a loving public. It even surprised us with a new diesel-powered version, as well.
The Blue Oval really put its focus on making the ST a better driver for this refresh. It left its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder alone to still pump out a respectable 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. The changes like a retuned front suspension, electric power steering and improved interior made the hot hatch an even better place to spend time behind the wheel.
To prove that the Focus ST is still as potent as ever, Ford set up a one-on-one race up the Goodwood Hill. But instead of putting the two cars side-by-side, former Stig from Top Gear UK, Ben Collins, piloted the real model up the course, and his rival drove the virtual version in Gran Turismo 6. The two hot hatches set off at the same time to see whether reality could beat the virtual world, and the finish was actually extremely close. Scroll down to watch the video and find out the winner of this battle at Goodwood.
