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 218 hp in stock form. 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 and accelerates from idle in second gear 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. 50,012.8 currently showing on odometer. Took her out for her first spin this Spring and she's running just fine. 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. Car is available for inspection and test drive prior to auction end.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition
Mon, 13 Oct 2014Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.
1964 Ford GT40 prototype sells for $7M
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Seven-figure Ferraris are not horribly rare. Heck, an eight-figure Ferrari isn't a rare occurrence. Between modern masterpieces like the Enzo and more classic offerings, cracking the million-dollar mark isn't a particularly tall order for the cars from Maranello. For a Ford, though, it's a big deal.
Now, this is not just some rare Mustang. This is a GT40, the car that Henry Ford II commissioned to whip Enzo Ferrari around a track in France. As far as the Le Mans-winning racers go, they don't get much rarer than this one. Sold at the Mecum Auctions in Houston, this is one of the prototypes, meaning it's one of the very first GT40s ever built. That makes its $7 million winning a bid, a record for on-air coverage of the auction, a pretty darn impressive figure.
You can watch the auction below, but first, take a look back at our original story on this rare Blue Oval.
Ford of Europe celebrates Mondeo's 20th anniversary
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ford's European operations are celebrating a milestone of sorts as the Mondeo, the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter D-segment sedan in the old country, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The mid-sizer, which was sold in the US for a short time as the Contour, has been a far more popular vehicle in Europe - even receiving regular praise from one Jeremy Clarkson.
Narrated by Cockney actor Ray Winstone, the video goes through the Mondeo's years and how it's evolved from 1993 to the as-yet-unreleased fifth-generation model, which is essentially the same as the Ford Fusion that's sold in America. Take a look below for the full video from Ford of Europe.
