The Thunderbird that Ford never built. Not satisfied with the power or braking of the Super Coupe, I set out to build a reliable driver that would perform, handle, and stop the way I felt it should. I have been very pleased with the results, have really enjoyed building and driving the car, and it is now time to move on to the next project. The car is available for local pickup, any shipping is the responibility of the buyer, but I will assist in any way I can. Payment will be by cash or Pay Pal. I bought the car in 2004 with 238,000 KM on it, drove it home and dismantled it for the rebuild, completing the project in 2006. The car is totally rust free, body is very straight, no accidents to my knowledge, and the original black leather interior is in very good condition except for some minor surface cracks in the front leather bucket seats. Power is by the 4.6 Ltr. DOHC Aluminum Cobra motor and Tremec T45 transmission bought NEW from Ford Racing, which came complete with wiring harness, starter, alternator, power steering pump, AC compressor, manifolds, clutch, so everything on the motor is new. We used the SDS fully programmable engine management system and MSD DIS4 ignition, new 255 LPH fuel pump, remote oil filter, Kooks ceramic coated headers, custom built 2 1/2" all stainless steel dual exhaust, 3 1/2" alluminum driveshaft, Ford Racing 3.73 Traction Loc rear gears, subframe connectors, and stiffened independent rear suspension. All suspension parts were installed new, Tokiko programmable shocks, lowering springs, all new Moog bushings, control arms and links, factory rebuilt steering rack, tie rod ends, if it moved or turned it was replaced! New body mounts, motor mounts, transmission & differential mounts, there are no squeeks or rattles, no slack anywhere, new hubs from Ford front and rear. Brakes are from the 2002 Cobra with Baer slot drilled rotors, the stopping power is very good. The custom built dash features TPI guages. I have fully documented the entire rebuild with all receipts, all factory manuals, written rebuild manual with all part numbers listed, and many photos of the entire process. |

Ford could post best-ever profits in Q1 2013
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Analysts are saying that Ford Motor Company may have earned a record $2.7 billion pretax profit in North America during the first quarter of 2013, a number that represents its highest first quarter profit ever. The impressive earnings are further proof that the American automaker is making a solid comeback as the economy begins to recover.
Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan Chase are estimating that Ford's first quarter North American profit may have topped 12 percent. The firm cited the automaker's fresh lineup, but noted that CEO Alan Mulally needs to uphold the pace as the company works to gain ground in the car and utility segments.
Ford's success has been led by increased demand for its F-Series pickup, the best-selling vehicle in the US for 31 years, and by the Fusion sedan that recently recorded its best-ever quarterly sales in the domestic market. Ford is expected to release its first-quarter revenue on Wednesday, of this week.
Ford GT successor to debut in Detroit and go racing
Thu, Dec 18 2014Anticipation for all of the exciting reveals at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show just a few weeks away is building to a fever pitch, and rumors are mounting that Ford has a big surprise in store in the shape of a future performance halo model. Insider sources speaking to Autoweek claim the next Ford supercar is definitely going to be revealed at the Detroit show in early January. However, the model is not necessarily the next-generation Ford GT in terms of its name or design aesthetic. Instead, one of these people indicates that the new halo model might drop retro styling altogether. If the latest reports are to be believed, Ford's high-performance project goes beyond something to just grab headlines and rocket down the street. According to Autoweek, the automaker is also reportedly employing Chip Ganassi Racing to run a two-car racing effort in the Tudor United SportsCar Championship in 2016. That would allegedly include a trip to the 24 Hours of Le Mans to race on the 50th anniversary of the Ford GT40's win in 1966. The speculation goes that at least the racing version might use a twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 for power. However, the motorsports part of the program may not be announced during the auto show reveal. Rumors about the new halo car from the Blue Oval and its racing intentions have been percolating for months. The company might have considered an LMP2 entry, but speculation popped up later about the production supercar. A more recent report suggested that Ford might show a new Shelby GT350R Mustang, a successor to the F-150 Raptor and next Ford GT in Detroit.
