                                             WOW !  WOW ! & WOW  AGAIN !!!

         Check out this " truly wonderfull" car.  So many times you will  see a car advertized as "low mileage" , "survivor", or  other buzz words

    describing it. But more times than not, it turns out to be a car that although it may have low miles etc., A  lot of restoration is needed

     or was done before the car could live up to the description given in the ad. Sometimes, it's just a lie !.

          NOT HERE!. Let me tell you about this car. This was a one owner car from the time it was new until the owner passed away and

     i purchased it from the family just  about two years ago. I was told that the car was garage kept since new and never exposed to bad weather

     and i   believe it!.  You will too when you see it in person. It is a rust and corrosion free automobile !.

       It is "COMPLETELY" original .) and it is  in just about as close to  " original new" condition  as i could imagine a car to

   be !. It has 32700 documented miles on it  Great service records along with the original  bill of sale and " protecto- plate."

      It's  really quite amazing .When you look at things like the carpet, the headliner, the fabric on the seats, etc.

     you can't help but wonder how someone was able to maintain a car in this condition for so many years.

      Here are some details.

     _____________________________EXTERIOR_______________________________________________________________

           As i hope you can see in the photos, the body on the car is as straight as an arrow. the dark blue paint is clear&bright with

      only a " very few", very minor", surface scratches hardly worth noting but i don't want to leave anything out.

            The chrome bumpers as well as the the grill and all the exterior bright work including the wheel covers are like new Even the rubber

      bumper guards are in great shape.

          There is however , a very  small dent in the aluminum fender trim on the rear passenger  side. I think that it rubbed something in the garage.

          It is very insugnifficant. The White vinyl top is perfect condition.  All of the glass is in great condition including the windshield, side and rear   

       glass and side mirror glass.  The headlights,taillights, parking lights, emblems, etc. are all in perfect condition. Open the door s and check

     out the sill plates and hinges as well as the paint etc.

   ____________________________INTERIOR_______________________________________________________________

        You know the old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" ?  well take a very close look a the photos of the interior.

 and  remember "It's all original !".  The headliner looks like it's a day old. The seat covers  don't show any wear and when

 you sit down on them, you feel like you are in a new car. a new car. The carpet looks like no one ever stepped on it.  The arm

rests are in perfect condition as are the door panels. All the interior brightwork ( door handles, trim, etc.) is like new.

  The dash is the same ( like new). All of the guages work. The dash glass is clear & bright  but as you may expect, the clock doesn't

 work !. I wonder why the clocks never seem to work in older cars.?.

  _______________________________MECHANICAL________________________________________________________-

      The 351M/400 motor runs perfectly and even gets good gas mileage. The car  is equipped with power steering that steers effortlessly.

      power brakes that stop on a dime and an  automatic transmisson that shifts smoothly and doesn't leak. It even  has  air conditioning

      that blows "ice cold". The tires are brand new. The original radio still  works and there are remote control right & left side exterior  mirrors .

           The car sits straight and level on the tight and solid suspension. No rust under the car. The exhaust system is good.

       The front end, brakes, steering and electrical system are all good. No problems anywhere !!!.

         The car has been "Zebart" and" Hercules" rust proof protected from new".

     ________________________-OVERVIEW____________________________________________________________________-

                 The 1978 Thunderbird was known as "the baby Lincoln"  or " Fords luxury sports car".  It has the sporty look  along with

        comfort of a luxury car. You can drive this car anywhere from a cross country trip to a local car show.  Don't be surprised if

       you pick up a trophy or two.  Whether you are a seasoned car collector,   a first time buyer of a vintage car, or maybe you're just a

        Tbird fan, This is a really nice car that you will be proud to own and show off.

               Here's wishing you good luck with your bidding !.

Ford Claims Focus As World's Best-Selling Car For Second Year In A Row

Mon, Jan 27 2014

Ford Motor Co. has claimed its Focus sedan beat out the Toyota Corolla for the title of 'best-selling car in the world' for the second year in a row. The declaration was based on independent sales figures from January to September of 2013, according to USA Today. Last year, Ford used data from the analysis firm Polk to support its claim of having the best-selling car of 2012. Toyota objected, stating the Corolla sold more units. The numbers eventually showed that the Ford Focus was the best selling nameplate of the year, but may have been second to the Toyota sedan overall since multiple variations of the Corolla are sold under different nameplates around the world. Data from the analysis firm R.L. Polk found Focus registrations from January through September 2013 reached 856,587. Ford can thank booming car sales in China, where the automaker sold 303,481 units, for a sizable chunk of that number, which was a 16 percent increase over 2012. "Our success with Focus is the result of Ford's connection to our customers all over the world," said Jim Farley, an executive vice president at Ford. The Focus and Corolla both compete in the popular small sedan segment, along with other hot-selling cars like the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra and Chevrolet Cruze. These vehicles make a up a large portion of sales for their respective automakers, as they tend to hit a sweet spot for many consumers, coming with a starting sticker price under $20,000, solid fuel economy, plenty of cargo and passenger room and, lately, sharp exterior design and sportier driving dynamics.

2015 Ford F-150 specs revealed, EcoBoost 2.7L to make 325 hp and 375 lb-ft [w/video]

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Our new man Greg Migliore is in attendance at a Ford media event at the Blue Oval's Dearborn, MI headquarters today, and he's reported in with a handful of the 2015 F-150 stats that we've been dying to know. Ford is slow-playing the news release here, but we can still offer up some interesting output and performance figures after half-year of waiting.
We have all be quite aware that Ford's shift to aluminum construction would save a lot of weight for F-150 models, and the results we're hearing now are duly impressive. For instance: in Super Crew trim, a 2015 F-150 is a whopping 732-pounds lighter than was its closest 2014-model-year equivalent. That's like hauling three middle-aged dudes to your bowling alley's league night for free. Polish your balls, guys.
Ford isn't willing to offer up any actual curb weights just yet, but if we take that 732-pound loss and extrapolate with the 5,128-pound curb weight of the 2014 F-150 Super Crew with the 3.7-liter V6, we can guesstimate that 2015 models will measure out in the 4,400-pound range. That's impressive.

Ford announces 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Ford has pulled the wraps off its anticipated 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition model, a new variant of the popular street-legal off-road specialist. In a nutshell, the "special" is all cosmetic - there are no mechanical upgrades to the truck and its 6.2-liter V8 (411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque), Torsen limited-slip differential, beadlock-capable wheels and internal triple-bypass FOX Racing Shox dampers all remain untouched.
The SVT Raptor Special Edition, which adds cosmetic enhancements to the existing Luxury Package, will be offered in Ruby Red Metallic and Tuxedo Black Metallic with box-side graphics. The interior upgrades include Brick Red seat bolsters (with black inserts), cloth honeycomb highlights and a console top finish panel.
As of now, Ford has only release a couple pictures of the Special Edition model. But check back later, as we will update the gallery when additional high-res images are released later today, and be sure to peruse the press release below for all the details.
