This rare Thunderbird is a nice weekend cruiser. Runs and drives excellent.

Engine is a 352 rated at 300 horsepower and was previously overhauled and updated with hardened valve seats so you can run regular pump gas with no additives. Starts right up and runs very smooth, never overheats even on 90 degree days. Brand new Interstate battery. Has a Cruise-O-Matic Automatic transmission and a Ford 9" rear axle. Has power steering.

Body is in good condition with absolutely NO RUST. This car has been restored in the past. Paint is in good condition, has some small chips(pictured) but not many. The bumpers are in OK condition, but could be re-chromed. Most of the trim is in good condition as well, some pieces may need refinishing however. The sunroof was recently removed and adjusted as well as all the linkages and slides lubed and it works very well.

Interior is in great condition, the seats, headliner, and carpet were replaced during the restoration as well as the trunk liner. The radio has been upgraded to an AM/FM unit with a cassette player, it is designed to mimic the original radio. The trunk lid has been outfitted with an electric release via a button under the dash. This car has power windows including the "sail" windows towards the rear. The driver's side rear "sail" window has not worked since I've owned the car and I do not know what it needs to repair it.

Car is a great weekend cruiser and gets TONS of attention at the shows. The Sunroof is a BIG topic of conversation, I always have to verify for people that it is original to the car. The paint is even the original colors, verified by the data sheet found in the sunroof panel(which I still have). As far as I know the car is completely numbers matching.

I always recommend viewing any vehicle in person prior to purchasing, but I also try to provide as much info/pics as possible so YOU know what you're getting. if you have questions or would like to view the car, please send me a message and I will respond promptly.

AS-IS sale, no warranties expressed or implied.

Ford Mustang to get four-cylinder in Europe, but not US

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Fans of the Ford Mustang SVO, which was produced from 1884 through 1986 with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission, may be interested to know that Ford is reportedly going to introduce something similar for 2015. But don't get too excited if you live in the US, as Edmunds reports that the vehicle will be offered in Europe only. Boo!
According to the report, Ford will put a version of its EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder into the engine bay of the Mustang. The engine would be enlarged from its current 2.0 liters to 2.3 liters, taking horsepower from 252 to around 300. The well-known 5.0 V8 engine will also be available in Europe.
"The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future," says Ford of Europe CEO Stephen Odell. That's great... but why not offer buyers in the States the (likely) fuel-efficient turbo option, too?

Evo grabs Ford's Fiesta R5 rally car by the scruff

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Evo and host Henry Catchpole were thinking of excuses reasons to borrow the bonkers Ford Fiesta R5 rally car for a day or two, when it struck them: the car is street legal. With access to the R5, some of the world's most beautiful driving roads in the English Lake Country nearby, and a handy video crewing hanging around, the plan seemed to write itself.
Based on the resulting video, it was a good plan. Without spoiling the video for you - something we can't really do in text as the best part is listening to the rally car run - Catchpole finds the Fiesta to be sublimely quick and massively satisfying. Even taking the car for a spin on a pseudo rally stage, after leaving the English countryside, does nothing but add to his assessment of the beastly little Ford. Scroll on below to see for yourself, and enjoy the ride.
