***Listing update *** This may be really good news for someone. It wasn't so good for me. True story. I was touring around this weekend as i really had not had the car out at all this year and wanted to make sure all was to be expected, well it turns out it wasn't. The car ran fine, i actually had a good time driving it around. However, after i moved it back in the garage i noticed some transmission fluid had been leaking. I brought the car in to my mechanic Monday. While we had it on the lift we determined it seemed to be coming from the seal in the shifter. I took it over to the a highly reputable transmission repair shop in our area. Although it was the transmission, I was hoping it would not be any real problems. Well they checked it out today and informed me the transmission should be rebuilt. They quoted me a cost for them to rebuild it, using all Ford OEM parts, of 2500 plus tax. This really isn't work i want to take on and instead would rather pass along a potential great deal to someone else. Therefore, after much interest in the car, i am dropping the BIN price by 5,000, that's twice the cost of repair!!. So if you were interested, perhaps this a great opportunity for you. I am happy to organize the shop work to be done for you and you could pay them direct. Or you could buy it as is and arrange your own repair or do the work yourself. Anyway, not a real good day for me. It was likely this would need to be done at some point in this car's future so for some future owner it's better it happened now. Thanks for your interest please feel free to ask any additional questions. **** This Thunderbird is really an awesome car from a fantastic period of American autos. Best of all, this is a driver that you will be proud to be seen cruising around. And you will be seen. No matter where you live this will be a one of kind attention getter. Be prepared for compliments. This gorgeous convertible t-bird is in really good condition, but it is not a showroom vehicle, but it's also a third the price and ready to roll. Everything is original and if desired, would make a great car to fully restore to showroom, but really, the true value of this car is it one you can get out on the road and enjoy. The white on red interior was highly desired and in short supply. There are not many with this beautiful combination. The majority of these were delivered with black interior and when your cruising, top down, in the sun, black is not what you want. You absolutely want the white interior. The upholstery is in just good condition. It is bright and clean but It shows wear. The driver seat has a 6 inch split in the seat and a smaller one on the side. The red carpet is in good shape but there is a small wear spot on the passenger floor about the 3 inches in diameter. It's not a hole or rip but just a bare spot. The mechanics are all sound, it runs well. The body is in excellent condition, there's no rust or dents. It is the original paint and it still has a high shine, there are however several chips and dings and just small spots of missing paint that have all been touched up. Most notable is a series of door dings that have been touched up. It has been this way since the 80's when I believed the older gal that owned it would open the door into some pole or some object in the garage. They don't stand out, you have to look for them. But they are there. The tonneau cover makes this Thunderbird convertible extra special. It makes it a sleek two seater and a great ride for date night. This was a factory delivered extra that are very rare. Very few Tbirds came this way Today they sell separately for anywhere form 3 to 5 grand. It is in good condition, it is made from fiberglass, chrome and padded vinyl. It does have scratches and nicks that have been touched up. It is easily put on and taken off and it can be left on when the roof is up, however the securing screws should be in place as I believe that the scratches were caused by the roof when it was not properly bolted in place. This car came with all the extra's, power windows, power steering and air conditioning which unfortunately is not working, but hey it's a convertible. It also has the signature sliding steering wheel that makes it fun and easy to get in and out. The luggage rack on the back trunk is a real pleasing design extra. The white convertible top is good condition and the plastic window is crystal clear. It is also fully automatic! The trunk lifts and the top retracts and stows away inside with just the touch of a button. Ford really designed this well for the Thunderbird. It is by far one of the best designs for a fully automatic retracting top on any convertible on the road. All in all, for 50 years old this is a great automobile, although its not perfect it will be one you will be very fond to drive. You're family and friends will simply love to ride in it. Especially, when you have your local oldies station tuned in to the original am radio with front and rear speakers which provide great ambiance even with the top down. This Thunderbird is priced to sell and with tonneau cover included is a great value. It is projected to not only hold its value but increase over time, and with literally all parts for this car still easily available and reasonably priced from vendors such as tbheadquarters.com you can continue to maintain and enhance this car over time.

Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion
Thu, 30 Oct 2014After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit can haul on the track
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Line up any two comparable vehicles, and eople are going to want to race them. Need proof? In its latest track battle, Auto Express wants to know which commercial vehicle can lap a circuit faster - a Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Let's face it, neither of these European vans were ever meant to be near the track unless they are delivering a racecar and a ton of parts for a fun weekend, but it's massively fun to watch them give it a go anyway.
The one thing that Auto Express really illustrates here is the modern marvel that is stability control. The driver hops curves, and these big vans lean in the corners like your friend walking home from a long night at the bar. However, because of the amazing stability systems, the vans mostly keep all of their wheels planted and never seem close to getting sloppy, despite their behemoth size.
Unfortunately, the two vans aren't exactly fairly paired. The Ford has a dual rear axle and a few other advantages over the Mercedes, but it's still hilarious to watch them go. Even better, the host breaks down everything happening behind the wheel like these commercial vehicles were two Porsches. Enjoy watching this very unorthodox battle between Ford and Mercedes.
Ford spider screen keeps creepy-crawlies out of cars
Wed, Aug 5 2015Ford is waging a global war on spiders with the 2016 Focus RS. The little beasties can be a real menace to a vehicle by blocking lines with their dense webs, but engineers at the Blue Oval now have a new screen that they claim keeps the bugs at bay. Yellow sac spiders especially like to craft their webs in fuel vapor lines, but blocking the way can cause pressure to build, leading to a safety issue. Implemented in 2004, Ford already has a screen to keep the creepy-crawlies out. But the company now has an updated version in North America, and the Focus RS is the first global vehicle with it. "We are constantly improving and adapting, even when it comes to technologies that are already working," said William Euliss, Ford fuel systems engineer, in the screen's announcement. It might seem like a waste to put engineers on the task of making a spider screen, but the device could save Ford money in the long run. Arachnids have been responsible for the recalls of hundreds thousands of vehicles in the US over the years. Mazda issued two campaigns on the Mazda6 due to the webs causing pressure to build up in the fuel tank and potentially leading to a split. There was also a similar recall from Suzuki, and another one covering the air conditioning system on Toyotas. LOOK OUT! HERE COME THE SPIDERMEN: FORD ENGINEERS USE ARACHNID LEARNINGS TO DEVELOP INNOVATIVE SCREEN TO KEEP CREEPY CRAWLERS OUT AUG 5, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. Ford engineers developed an innovative spider screen to keep the creepy crawlers from nesting inside vehicles Screen prevents spiders from building cocoon-like webs dense enough to potentially block fuel vapor lines, which can damage engines and diminish vehicle performance Now, an updated version of the spider screen is being implemented in Ford vehicles in North America; it will go global with launch of the all-new 2016 Ford Focus RS DEARBORN, Mich., Aug. 5, 2015 – Arachnophobes may not know this, but there is a team of Ford engineers who developed an innovative spider screen to keep the creepy crawlers from nesting in Ford vehicles. You're welcome. Cheiracanthium mildei and Cheiracanthium inclusum – more commonly referred to as yellow sac spiders – have been known to nest inside vehicles in North America, causing problems for car owners and automakers alike over the years. Instead of using webs to catch prey, these spiders build cocoon-like webs for shelter and to lay eggs.
