  Car is in good condition overall.  Paint is glossy but has a few scratches and sags.  Glass and convertible soft top are good.  Car is solid and runs well.  312 cubic inch y-block with four-barrel carburetor produces 255 hp.  Three speed manual transmission shifts properly and electric overdrive unit functions as it should. First gear is not synchronized.  The car must be brought to a complete stop before shifting into first.  This is not a problem driving the car, as the engine is a torque monster an accelerates from idle in second gear very smoothly.  Car is equipped with Coker Classic wide-whitewall radials ($615.36, May '05).  Less than 1,000 miles on them and no sign of dry rot.  15" chrome wire wheels with Thunderbird lettering and logo on spinners (we can't find that receipt, but believe the purchase price for four wheels was around $1,200).  Bias-ply tires and factory steel wheels and full wheel covers included in sale.  Trim plate on firewall shows: 40A E XA 18EL1824
  Parts replaced or repaired since 2001 purchase, in addition to remedial body work;
water pump, thermostat, battery, cleaned fuel tank, wiring harness (main dash, across front, heater blower), heater temperature valve, blower motor, transmission overhaul (gasket set, pinion seal, transmission bearings and oil seals), clutch disk and pressure plate, radiator and radiator cradle, correct mechanical fuel pump, front springs and shocks, a-frame bushings, and much more.  All receipts since 1994 included, plus factory shop manual and various catalogs.
  Car is well sorted out, has been well cared for, and has had serious mechanical and cosmetic upgrades over the past 12 years while accumulating less than 1,500 additional  miles. 50,009.2 currently showing on odometer.  We'll be waking her from her winter nap soon and adding a few more miles.  We drive the car only enough to keep everything working properly and to attend a few very local shows.
  We have over $38,000 in the car to date.  Reserve is considerably lower.

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.

2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost

Wed, 19 Nov 2014



A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.
