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 bondage ads reportedly trigger firings at Indian ad agency

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

You will probably remember the ads for the Ford Figo hatchback in India, the ones that showcased the extra large boot of the little hatchback by joking that you can fit three of your enemies in the trunk. One of the ads had Michael Schumacher in the front seat, obviously pleased about having Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso tied up in the back. But the other two had Paris Hilton and ex-Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi up front and three bound and gagged women in the back - in Hilton's case (shown above), it was the Kardashians.
This did not go over well, and Reuters reports that certain employees at JWT India have been fired over the matter. It is also reported that the images weren't actual advertisements, nor were they part of an actual campaign; JWT said they "were never intended for paid publication, were never requested by our Ford client." A JWT rep said the employees who created the ads did so on their own, Ford commented to Automotive News that the ads were "part of a creative exercise intended to test concepts for an advertising competition."
The problem, if the story is to be believed, is that the employees skipped the regular review protocols and uploaded their work to an ad industry site - they were found on Ads of the World. That page, like the employees, has been removed.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to recreate Empire State Building stunt

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

It would have been all too easy to miss the auto show debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible. It was, after all, unveiled alongside its fixed-roof counterpart at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, lumping coupe and cabrio into one debut. But Ford is evidently still intent on making its new droptop stand out. The top of the Empire State Building ought to do the trick.
Automotive history buffs may recall that, 50 years ago, Ford unveiled its first Mustang convertible atop what was then the tallest building in the world, that Art Deco icon of the New York skyline. Half a century later, Ford is recreating the feat and bringing the new topless Mustang to the same observation deck on the building's 86th floor.
Getting it up there, of course, will be no easy task. While they'd usually airlift the vehicle onto the roof or lift it by crane, the spire protruding from atop the building makes approaching the narrow observation deck too dangerous, and no mobile crane can telescope the thousand-plus feet it would take to get the pony car up there.
