1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbocoupe. The chassis has 137,xxx miles but I am driving it daily so that is changing about 50 miles a day. The tires are about 90% on the front and 50% on the rear. The body is rust free. It was a Florida car. The following is a list of the upgrades.
2.5liter Crank
Crower 5.5 rods
Diamond pistons with Total Seal rings
Ported head with Ferrea vavles, conical springs, Hydraulic roller cam by Crane, custom
Custom Stainless tubular header
Custom 3" exhaust sytem
Tial 38 MM wastegate with boost controller

Repainted Black, original color. I would give it a 7.5 out of 10. One small ding on the driver's fender, hard to see. No body damage or dents.
Tinted windows
Alpine stereo, 2 amps, 10" subwoofer, floors and doors dynamatted
Fox Body Brake conversion with Rear disc conversion from a Lincoln
17x9 rear wheels and 17x8 front rims
A/C system replaced 2 years ago, blows ice cold
Heater core replaced last year
Rack and pinion and ball joints replaced last year.
The engine build has about 3500 miles on it and is very strong and sound.

The items that I think need some TLC
The rear package tray need replaced. I am posing a photo. The driver's seat has a small hole. There is an oil leak around the oil level sensor. It is not bad, just irritating to see an oil spot about the size of a dime after it sits for a few days. There is a minor exhaust leak near the muffler. It is not loud or offensive but I know it is there. The horn button needs to be repaired. I fixed it once on the back with hot glue but it could be better. 

I drive this car regularly and I would feel very comfortable driving it anywhere.

Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.

Ford CEO told Trump 1 million jobs at stake because of fuel economy regs

Sat, Jan 28 2017

Bloomberg is reporting that Mark Fields, Ford's CEO, pushed President Donald Trump for market-driven national fuel economy standards, and that up to a million jobs could be at stake if those national regulations didn't take consumer expectations into account. Fields was reporting on his conversation with Trump in remarks made at the National Automobile Dealers Association in New Orleans, Bloomberg reports. The report also states that he and fellow CEOs Mary Barra of GM and Sergio Marchionne of FCA aren't seeking to eliminate fuel economy standards altogether, but rather to make them more flexible. Bloomberg reports that Fields didn't cite the studies he was referring to in support of his job loss figures, so we can't independently verify Fields' math at this time. But his push to stop selling cars consumers don't want – that is to say, more hybrids and EVs than consumer demand supports right now – is clear. We've already reported on that. To level an educated guess at what will happen next, Trump seems likely to reduce the stringent 2025 fuel economy targets, perhaps freezing them at current levels. The automakers are already invested in producing vehicles that meet current standards, and they also have to think about foreign markets like Europe that aren't likely to relax standards below current levels. If you consider economies of scale, automakers are likely to ask for federal standards that match global standards for their largest markets as closely as possible. We'll see if Trump buys Fields' math, but Ford isn't hedging its bets. Backing out of the Mexican assembly plant cost the company $200 million – not a huge sum compared to the total value of Ford, a massive company which had its second best year ever, but still an important gesture to Trump about Ford's priorities.

Amid Mulally rumors, Bill Ford praises company's deep bench

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Bill Ford went on the offensive to combat the rumors that CEO Alan Mulally would leave Dearborn for Steve Ballmer's vacated position leading Microsoft, adding that even if the 68-year-old, former Boeing exec were to depart, the Ford executive team is in a good place.
"I'm happy [Mulally] is going to stick around. But we also feel really good about where we are in terms of succession," Ford told Bloomberg TV, according to Automotive News. Rumors first cropped up about Mulally leaving Ford when AllThingsD speculated that he was in the running, early last month. In that same report, which you can read here, Ford's board of directors reportedly okayed the CEO stepping down ahead of his planned retirement in 2014.
That opened the floodgates, culminating in a report from a few days ago that the rumors over Ballmer's successor just might be true. The story is especially troubling, as Ford hasn't had Mulally under contract, according to AN. "He's here as long as he and I would like it to happen," Ford said, "We're also cognizant of training the next generation and getting them ready to go as well."
