IS PROUD TO PRESENT... A PARTIALLY RESTORED AND VERY SOLID 10TH ANNIVERSARY 1965 THUNDERBIRD CONVERTIBLE! Want a super cool V8 convertible that’s ready to cruise this summer? How about one with some of the best vintage styling ever draped over two doors and four tires? If the answer is a resounding “YES”, this 1965 Ford Thunderbird is exactly the car you’ve been searching for! With the original Thunderbird 390 V8 and automatic transmission, this car is the perfect classic for anyone who enjoys getting fresh air and exploring the open road. If you’re looking to add a little spice to your weekend routine, here’s the perfect way to take Sunday drives to a whole new level! Solid and straight, this T-bird’s lust-inducing body reflects a picturesque coat of glossy Burgundy paint over black interior that creates a rich and classy demeanor. From its glossy shine to its chip-free rocker panels, the paint’s deep finish is nice enough to be the star at any local cruise night, and certainly nicer than the car’s original, factory-applied Honey Yellow. Naturally, a star of that caliber requires top notch panel fit; and it appears the folks who bolted this Ford together spent a lot of time making sure its laser straight body maintained excellent cohesion. And overall, the car is a stunning tribute to one of the coolest designs to ever fly out of Dearborn, Michigan 50 years ago this September! The Thunderbird was Ford’s response to
Chevrolet’s crude Corvette. And when introduced in 1955, it outsold
Chevy’s unrefined halo by 24 to 1. Part of the reason for that big
success was the car’s versatile mix of American substance and European
aesthetics. Tilt this Ford’s mile long hood
up and you’ll find the original 390 cubic inch Thunderbird V8 that’s dressed to impress. Nice enough to show but still fully
drivable, this is the perfect compromise for enthusiasts who like to
display their car and still enjoy the occasional top-down weekend. Behind the aforementioned 390, a stalwart automatic Cruise-O-Matic transmission sends power to the original factory 3.00 to 1 ratio rear end. The car’s suspension remains in its original configuration with control arms up front and leafs out back. All of the chassis’ s front end safety parts were replaced and a new dual exhaust ensures the integrity and sound that a true "Big Block Bird" is known for. Power front disc braking is quick and adequate thanks to fresh hardware occupying all for corners of the suspension. And on the outside of those new brakes, 4 new radial whitewall tires surround classy chrome hub caps, slightly hidden behind a set of famous Ford Thunderbird skirts. Burgundy paint is legendary for its characteristically 60's feel. And when paired with this Thunderbird’s correct Black interior, it creates the perfect culmination of style and sophistication. While appearing original, its interior is still in good condition and as such, livable for years to come. There’s relatively new carpet throughout that features clean loops. Front and center, a translucent speedometer, "bubble gauges, and cool original radio look great inside a stainless-trimmed and Thunderbird-branded dash. In front of the driver, a Thunderbird "slide-away" steering wheel, complete with rim around a chrome, Thunderbird-branded center ring. Between the bucket seats sports a chrome laden console that accents the "cockpit" perfectly. At the sides of the passengers, scuff-free door panels center perfectly placed armrests below engine-turned trim. And behind the car’s retracted top, a fully restored trunk hangs an old school jack between a new mat and correct deck lid decal. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Ford guy, Mopar guy or Chevy guy, this impressive Thunderbird is one of those cool cars that transcends barriers and has universal appeal. The car’s great looks, great performance, and great color combo all add up to an exceptional classic that can be driven and enjoyed every day of the summer. Indulge as is, or tinker with it to make it sharper, either way you’ll have a high value cruiser that has unmatched curb appeal and the muscle to back up its good looks.

Carfection looks for the ultimate pocket rocket
Fri, Mar 18 2016If there's one thing we love, it's a good showdown. Especially when it's on video, done by some Englishmen, and involving some manner of performance machinery. Like this latest clip, for example, from Carfection. The team formerly known as Xcar have assembled three very compelling supermini hot hatches: two we can get on our side of the pond, and one we can't. One American, one Frenchman, and one Brit. One cheap, one expensive, and one somewhere in between. They all pack turbo fours, of course, but placed in entirely different packages. There's the evergreen favorite Ford Fiesta ST, the Renault Clio RS 220 Trophy that should have the rest licked, and the retro rocket that is the Mini JCW. And there's only one way to find out which is the best. It's a tough contest, to be sure, but lest you think it all comes down to specifications or which one's the newest, you'll want to think again. Because when it comes to hot hatches, all the electronic gizmos and power boosts in the world can't show up a perfectly dialed-in chassis that lets you hug the curves and feel like you're going a lot faster than you actually are. But don't take our word for it – see what our British friends have to say about it in the Queen's English in the seventeen-minute clip above. Related Video:
VW walks away from Aurora after self-driving startup partners with FCA
Wed, Jun 12 2019BERLIN — Volkswagen has ended its partnership with self-driving car software firm Aurora, two days after the Silicon Valley start-up said it would build autonomous platforms for commercial vehicles with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. "The activities under our partnership have been concluded," a VW spokesman said in a statement on Tuesday following an earlier Financial Times report on the move which said VW now wanted to work with Ford Motor Co on autonomous driving. Ford's majority-owned subsidiary Argo AI is building an automated "driver" that could compete with Aurora's technology. Aurora said Tuesday "Volkswagen Group has been a wonderful partner to Aurora since the early days of development of the Aurora Driver." The company's statement added that it continues to work "with a growing array of partners." The autonomous vehicle industry is still in its infancy, and alliances and strategies are fluid. Aurora has sought to remain independent and serve a number of would-be autonomous vehicle makers rather than be acquired. Aurora, which said in February it had raised $530 million in new funding, also has partnerships with Hyundai Motor Co and China's Byton to develop and test self-driving systems for automakers, fleet owners and others. After announcing its partnership with Aurora in early 2018, VW last June began discussions with Ford to develop a range of commercial vehicles, later extending the discussions to include electric vehicles and Argo's autonomous driving technology as part of an alliance designed to save billions in costs. VW and Ford have not announced partnerships involving electric or autonomous vehicle technology. Green Chrysler Fiat Ford Volkswagen Technology Emerging Technologies Autonomous Vehicles
Help make Lego Icon Bronco a reality [UPDATE]
Fri, Feb 13 2015The Lego Ideas process is a pretty neat concept. The website allows anyone to propose a future kit, and if the project gathers 10,000 supporters within a certain amount of time, then the company investigates building it. The creator even gets a cut of the sales. We saw the operation at work last year with a very cool looking Corvette kit that hasn't hit the next stage quite yet. Now, another creator going by the username Legohero1966 has a fantastic looking replica of the Icon 4X4 Bronco hoping for support. The maker nails the boxy, brawny look of the Icon take on the classic Ford Bronco, and the Lego kit even gets the color pretty close. The miniature SUV also features a visible suspension, a removable top and, according to the description, a reel for the winch is hidden in the bumper. Underneath the body, this model even does a pretty good job of replicating the powertrain. As is expected by these kits, the hood, doors and hatch all open; on this one the spare tire carrier even moves out of the way, too. As of this writing, the Icon Bronco kit only has a little over 400 supporters, and that's a long way from the goal. If you like what you see, give the proposal a closer look on Lego Ideas. UPDATE: The original creator of the Icon Bronco kit, Paul Kim, has advised Autoblog that this Lego Ideas proposal was created without his consent, and he has reported the problem there. You can view more pictures of the Bronco and more of Kim's work, here.
