For sale is my drop dead gorgeous, beautiful 61 thunderbird convertible.  If this car isn't the nicest 61 around I'd be very surprised.  Super rare nautilus gray with red interior, and gorgeous.  If u don't like attention, oohs and ahhs, this isn't the car for u.  Rebuilt 390, runs fantastic, no issues.  Just spent 1 k changing every gasket possible.  All gauges work, ac works and is ice cold.  Top mechanism performs flawlessly.  Slaves, cylinders etc all rebuilt.  Paint is flawless.  Absolutely gorgeous metallic gray.  Interior the same.  No rips, tears in seats,or dash.  Took an am-fm from a 63 and installed it in this car.  Works perfectly.  Original am radio is included although it needs to be repaired.  This car has won more awards than I can describe....best paint, best of show, best ford, etc..... She took second in the VTCI intl convention in 2010.  Tires new,  alternator installed for better charging, have the original generator if desired.  Engine bay spotless.   She spent the first 46 yrs of life in Texas until the owner got sick at which time it came to illinois in 2006.  I have receipts for all work done dating back to the  90's.  There's not much more I can describe about this car.  It is not your ordinary bird, it is truly spectacular.   It has been lovingly cared for and driven mostly to shows.  In August 2013, she was included in the Geneva IL concours d'elegance, quite an honor.  It kills me to let her go but I'm thinning out the herd these days.  Just sold my jaguar yesterday.  I would like it to go to an appreciative home.  The car is so gorgeous that JIm Powers, who Was on the design team on the car, wanted to buy it and put it in his collection.  I have a picture of him with the car.  He's abt 90 yrs old!  Feel free to contact me with questions or to discuss an offer.  Look at the pics and decide for yourself.   Thanks and good luck!

Drive Ford's new Mustang in Need For Speed Rivals

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

If waiting for the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang to hit dealerships is just too tall of an order, you'll be happy to hear that there is now an alternative means of getting behind the wheel of America's favorite pony car. The Mustang is making its video game debut in Need For Speed Rivals.
"We worked closely with the development team at EA to provide them with engineering data for the new Mustang, several months before we showed it to the rest of the world," said Ford product licensing manager Mark Bentley. "Computer design models enabled the game developers to create an accurate representation of the new Mustang before it goes on sale."
Players will have access to five unique designs for the Mustang, allowing a degree of individuality beyond solid colors and decals. According to Digital Marketing Manager Andrea Zuehlk of Ford, those designs are drawn from the four most popular designs on the Mustang Customizer, an online, mobile and tablet app that allows the public to design their own custom Mustang. A fifth design, penned by drift racer Vaughn Gittin, Jr., is also available.

2015 Ford Mustang spied on video for the first time

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Not many cars will continue to hold our rapt attention quite like the upcoming redesigned 2015 Ford Mustang, codenamed S550 internally. Earlier this month, we brought you the first spy photos of a next-gen Mustang prototype out testing, and even though expertly placed cladding concealed the pony car's new shape, we could tell that underneath was hiding an altogether new form inspired by the Evos Concept from 2011.
Today we give you some video of what looks to be the same Mustang prototype, which you can watch below, and while the budding director behind the camera wasn't able to capture much in the way of the engine's audio signature, we can see the car in motion for the first time and compare its relative size and shape to the S197 Mustang GT that's on its tail.
