This Red 1960 Thunderbird has been stored and not started for many years, and is in the DETERIORATED condition as shown.  NEEDS COMPLETE RECONDITIONING OR RESTORATION.  The last owner cleaned out his garage of two 1960 T-birds, and both are shown in some of the photos, and this item is the red one.  The companion white 1960 parts car must be listed separately, per eBay guidelines and is item number 290944731923, and can be seen here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1960-Ford-Thunderbird-Base-Hardtop-2-Door-5-8L-PARTS-CAR-and-extra-parts-/290944731923?_trksid=p3984.m1557.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MESCX:IT&forcev4exp=true#ht_500wt_1022


This T-Bird was a one owner since 1963.  The floors and sheet metal are in remarkably good shape and very low relative rust compared to many other regions that are less dry.  Please use your own expertise and the photos as a guide, but a personal inspection in metro Denver is highly recommended, as it will require a vast amount of work to bring it back to life.  

Windshield and other parts show wear/damage, and some parts may be missing or non-original.  The tires are flat and won't hold air, so keep this in mind regarding shipment.  Assistance may be available to move the car in the Denver metro area only, so please inquire.
 
Any extra parts (and dirt) shown in the trunk or in the car are included.  Sold completely AS-IS, TOW AWAY, and an emission non-compliance form signed by the buyer may be required.  There is no warranty of any kind. Please inquire with questions and thanks for looking!

2015 Ford Focus ST zooming toward Goodwood reveal [w/video]

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

Ford has quite a party ready for the Goodwood Festival of Speed starting on June 27. Not only is the 2015 Mustang going to be driving in front of the European public for the first time, the Blue Oval is also unveiling its 2015 refresh for the Focus ST.
Official details about the latest Focus hot hatch are practically nonexistent at this point. Ford's teaser image shows narrower headlights, and the company says that the ST also benefits from the technical and quality improvements from the refreshed standard model, which likely means an even more Aston-Martin-like grille. However, any improvements for the power or handling are a mystery for now.
Ford will even give visitors to the festival the chance to drive the new ST - at least virtually. Gran Turismo 6 kiosks will be on hand with the hot hatch loaded up to race the Goodwood Hill Climb. There will also be real-time races between former Stig Ben Collins in the real ST challenging a player up the hill in the game.

Ford Focus ST, Fiesta ST buyers to get free Octane Academy driving school

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

The Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST have created plenty of excitement in the sport compact segment, and Ford is looking to make sure that owners are driving and enjoying their cars to the best of their abilities. As an added bonus for buying one of these sporty hatchbacks, Ford will provide a complimentary ST Octane Academy session to be held at the Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.
Attendees will be responsible for travel and lodging, but Ford will provide the driving school free of charge. Included in this two-day trip, ST owners will get class instruction and driving instruction in prepped Focus ST and Fiesta ST models on the track and autocross course. Some karting action will also be involved as will a tour of Ken Block's Hoonigan Racing headquarters located nearby. If this doesn't sound like enough fun, there is also an optional day of activities that includes some more track time in a Mustang GT and off-road instruction in an F-150 SVT Raptor.
Ford told us that those who have already purchased a Focus ST or Fiesta ST will still be able to attend the performance driving school, but the press release, which is posted below, makes it sound like it applies to original owners only. Ford has yet to announce its schedule for the ST Octane Academy or prices for additional activities or guests.

Ken Block rally cars go blue in the face (and everywhere else)

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Well at least we now know why Ken Block "just ain't care" about smashing up his Ford Fiesta rally car recently. It's because he's getting a full brand makeover including a new team name, new paint scheme and even a new headquarters. Formerly known as Monster World Rally Team, Block and his Fiesta will now be competing under the Hoonigan Racing Division name, which is based out of a new 12,000 square foot facility located in Park City, UT.
As you can tell in the image above, Hoonigan Racing will replace the familiar black, white and green paint scheme with a more colorful design featuring plenty of blue, purple and red; the Monster Energy logo retains some of the car's green. The new paint scheme was inspired by Block's love of skateboard graphics from the '80s and early '90s as well as "Miami Vice-era" speedboats.
Block will continue to compete in multiple rally racing series such as Global RallyCross, World Rally Championship and X Games. The new headquarters features office space on one side and a shop for the cars on the other side. The building features plenty of stuff you'd expect from a company designed around Ken Block, including a massive gaming station for racing video games, recycled shipping containers used throughout the facility and a black bear.
