Up for auction is this 1964 Thunderbird Hardtop. The car is a great running driver that turns heads where ever it drives. The car is equipped with AC, power windows, power steering, power brakes, deluxe spinner hubcaps, fender skirts, and power drivers seat. This car was until a year ago in storage in a steel barn where the previous owner had purchased new seat foam and covers for all the seats, a new trunk liner kit, new fender skirts, and new front floor pans. These have now all been installed and the floor pans have been welded into the car and the interior was bed lined before re-installation. During this process the vacuum lines were all replaced and the front power window motors were fixed. 

The Good: The car has no bondo or body filler in it. It is solid metal all around and with only 62k miles the body does show quite well. The carburetor was recently rebuild and the engine runs great, and the water pump and fan have been replaced and painted. The car runs and drives and brakes well and the power seat, front windows, wipers, and brake lights work. The seats are not ripped and are very soft form the new foam. The tires are good and hold air fine. New letters have been added to the hood. All gauges besides fuel gauge works.

The Bad: The car's rear windows are rusted up and need to be replaced, the trunk did not have pans welded in but merely sheet metal from another Thunderbird, the radio has no wires connecting to the speaker, the AC system is disconnected and compressor has been removed (But is available when purchased), the rear window has some mild scratches on it, the dashboard is cracked in the usually two spots near the defroster, the brakes are original and are very weak currently, the shift lever is worn out and takes some wiggling to get out of park. The power steering pump needs to be rebuilt or replaced soon but it still works. The turn signals were once working but now do not I believe that the flasher need to be replaced and the lighting for the interior does not come on but the headlights do which likely means that the light switch need to be replaced. Gas gauge does not work.

This car would make a fantastic driver as I have used it for the past year and a half or could be easily made into a show car with the fantastic original body that it has. Happy bidding!

As for shipping the car can be driven to the immediate area of about 30 miles from the town of Bel Air further than that and the buyer will need to arrange for a tow truck or pickup service on their own. Immediate deposit of $500 required after sale ends

Watch this lead sled go rallying in Finland

Thu, 19 Jun 2014

Custom cars generally fit into neat little boxes in terms of how they are used. For example, you're unlikely to see a modded Corvette going rock crawling; it's just not what it's made for (though we bet it'd look awesome, for a minute). In the same way, chopped, channeled and customized '50s hot rods aren't really meant to go racing. They look great and go fast, but they are generally more cruisers than sports cars.
However, if this video is any indication, the people of Finland don't adhere in these stereotypes, because this rodder is happy to play in the dirt with his lead sled.
According to the video, the driver is a member of the Ford-Freak Club of Finland, and he clearly knows how to have some fun. Possibly inspired by his country's great rally drivers, he gets the tail way out going around this gently curving gravel track. The stunt is somewhat reminiscent of the stock cars races on the sand at Daytona Beach, and this is probably close to what it sounded like too. Scroll down to watch a very cool Finn getting his hot rod a little dirty.

2014 Ford Fusion to get 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder?

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Just one year after launching the all-new 2013 Fusion, Ford is reportedly set to alter the sedan's powertrain lineup with the addition of a new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. A member of Blue Oval Forums apparently got their hands on the ordering guide for the 2014 model year Fusion, and this 1.5-liter mill is set to be introduced with late availability.
This lines up with other news about the Chinese-market Mondeo being offered with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost - a derivative of the 1.0-liter triple that will come to North America under the hood of the Fiesta (note: the 1.0 is also offered in the current Euro-spec Mondeo). In the Chinese application, the larger three-pot engine produces 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, which is very close to the current 1.6-liter inline-four's output numbers of 178 hp and 184 lb-ft.
What's interesting, however, is that the 1.6-liter engine will reportedly still be offered in the Fusion, but only with the six-speed manual transmission. The smaller 1.5-liter EcoBoost will only be mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic, and will feature start/stop. This means that while the 1.5 is slightly down on power compared to the 1.6, it could easily improve fuel economy numbers, allowing the Fusion to regain the title of having the best mileage in the segment, likely besting the 38 miles per gallon of the Nissan Altima. Currently, the Fusion 1.6 is rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway.

Ford EcoBoost V6 hits the dyno before hitting the track

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Ford Racing just unveiled the Riley Daytona Prototype that will make its racing in the United SportsCar Racing Championship Rolex 24 at Daytona in January, and now it has released a video showing development of twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that powers the car. Using the same block and heads that can be found on a production Ford Taurus SHO, this new racecar benefits from the collaboration between Ford Racing and Ford powertrain engineers.
While we still don't know what kind of power this engine is putting out, it has definitely gotten a workout at Ford's 17G dyno. This area deep within Ford allows the automaker's racing program to work hand-in-hand with production engine programs, which can be a benefit to racing operations and production cars alike. Scroll down to hear a few people from Ford talk about the crosspollination between its racing and engine teams and watch the EcoBoost get red hot on the dyno.
