1960 Ford Thunderbird Base Hardtop 2-door 5.8l on 2040-cars
Pueblo, Colorado, United States
|
Eye Catching Thunderbird with the right color combination you been looking for, red and white! This beauty is a real head-turner. Not an original restored show car, but a fun daily driver. Last year of that awesome square bird five seater! Best year for the front grill with better design! Overall decent condition with new radial tires, new interior and carpet with two-tone white and red seats, red visors, white headliner, new red dash, red and white door panels, new front and rear windshields/seals, re-chromed bumpers, new battery, powder coated air cleaner and valve covers, cool spoke wheel covers (also have originals), power steering, power brakes, power windows, Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission working alright. All gauges (except fuel level), lights, horn, power, heater, and radio work good. Police Interceptor 352, 300 HP V-8 with original and fresh rebuilt 4 barrel Carter carburetor. Newer tune up and oil change. Car has leaf springs for rear axle which improve ride and handling. Four wheel drums with power assist. Has pac mufflers for that throaty sound! Spare parts include porta-walls, original hub caps, and new brakes shoes all around in box. Unibody construction with some minor signs of rust underneath, however, newer floor board welded on. More of a daily driver as the body/paint has some imperfections, but definitely a great car for the money. Radio works, but fuel level gauge not working. Engine is original with some good pick up and life left; intake manifold replaced; however, there remain small leaks from exhaust manifold. A lot of looks and interest, so if you want an older T-Bird, this could be the one to have most fun with. |

Ford, Samsung shack up to bring regen braking to non-hybrid models [w/video]
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Ford must be desperate to get itself ready for the beach this summer because it is really trying to get into shape. Shortly after unveiling the Lightweight Concept that cut the weight of a Fusion down to that of a Fiesta, it's now the rest of the line's turn for improvement. The company is wrapping up a 10-year research project aimed at developing next-gen automotive batteries to improve efficiency.
Ford claims that 70 percent of its lineup will have stop/start tech by 2017. The key to this massive proliferation is its new dual-battery system that combines a lithium-ion battery with a lead-acid one and regenerative braking. The setup works by harvesting braking energy and converting it to electricity. When the vehicle stops, the engine shuts off, but the Li-ion battery has enough juice to keep the accessories running. The engine starts up again as drivers take their foot off the brake. The layout would mean less wasted gas while idling. It's already available on Ford hybrids and is somewhat similar to the i-Eloop capacitor-based system from Mazda.
The bigger challenge is tuning the regenerative braking right. While hybrid drivers may be a little more adventurous, when it comes to getting a hang of regen braking, conventional buyers might not be so open-minded. The systems have a tendency to be a little grabby at first and then taper off at very low speeds. Ford needs to make sure it's just right to avoid turning off buyers.
Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses
Wed, 25 Jul 2012
Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.
Ford reflects on radical Mustang concept that never reached showrooms
Tue, 25 Jun 2013The Ford Mustang that we all know and love made major waves in the auto industry way back in 1964 by offering style and reasonable pricing with optional V8 power. Its long hood and short rear deck, combined with a low-slung and sporty cockpit, made a lasting impression in the minds of consumers and car designers alike, and its basic shape has so endured the test of time that it's still in use today.
This being the case, you may be interested to know that the first Mustang of 1964.5 wasn't actually the first Mustang at all, being preceded by a concept car that made its public debut in 1962. This concept was nothing like the car that would eventually make it into production, with a radical wedge shape and a small V4 engine sitting behind the car's two occupants, driving the rear wheels. In other words, the conceptual Mustang was pretty much the complete opposite of the production Mustang besides the name.
Ford has kindly decided go through its massive archive to bring the original Mustang concept back into the public eye. The company goes so far as to pose this question to fans of the pony car: "Should we borrow a few of these style elements for the next iteration of the Mustang?"
