1979 Ford Thunderbird Original on 2040-cars
Shiloh, North Carolina, United States
1979 Ford Thunderbird 351M Automatic loaded with a/c. I bought it to fix it up a few years ago but do to money and a very bad accident I haven't been able to do anything with it. I would much rather have someone fix it up than let it just rot away. The odometer reads 83185 and with the shape it's in I have no reason to believe that's not correct, it came from Florida and the title says exempt for the miles, I don't know much about FL. titles but I've heard they didn't care about miles on older vehicles. It is fully loaded other than power mirrors, including power sunroof and radio antenna. I'm not sure what does or doesn't work being I just drove it from point a to point b when I bought it (about 7 miles). As of now it needs a starter and the trans linkage adjusted to get the indicator right, I have a starter but I can't put it in due to recovering from the accident. It is in very good shape for a 79 and the body is very straight with very minor rust or damage, I have listed above any broken parts or damages that I know of. Please message me for any questions you may have and I will do my best to provide you an answer. The buyer is responsible for picking up or shipping vehicle. Payment is due at end of auction via PayPal. Vehicle is sold AS IS! No refund |

2015 Ford Mustang GT Line-Lock Burnout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014In this brief Short Cut, Autoblog's Steven Ewing demonstrates Line-Lock on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Accessed through an on-screen performance menu, the feature temporarily locks the front brakes to help you heat up the rear tires for better traction, as you would for drag racing. The result? A 15-second smokescreen.
Amid Mulally rumors, Bill Ford praises company's deep bench
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Bill Ford went on the offensive to combat the rumors that CEO Alan Mulally would leave Dearborn for Steve Ballmer's vacated position leading Microsoft, adding that even if the 68-year-old, former Boeing exec were to depart, the Ford executive team is in a good place.
"I'm happy [Mulally] is going to stick around. But we also feel really good about where we are in terms of succession," Ford told Bloomberg TV, according to Automotive News. Rumors first cropped up about Mulally leaving Ford when AllThingsD speculated that he was in the running, early last month. In that same report, which you can read here, Ford's board of directors reportedly okayed the CEO stepping down ahead of his planned retirement in 2014.
That opened the floodgates, culminating in a report from a few days ago that the rumors over Ballmer's successor just might be true. The story is especially troubling, as Ford hasn't had Mulally under contract, according to AN. "He's here as long as he and I would like it to happen," Ford said, "We're also cognizant of training the next generation and getting them ready to go as well."
US Ford Focus RS to be imported from Europe
Tue, 21 Oct 2014Rumors about the forthcoming Ford Focus RS are flourishing into what sounds like a very impressive new hot hatch. The latest scuttlebutt gives the first indication about when we might see a few of these fast Focuses on roads here in the US.
Unnamed insiders reportedly confirmed to The Truth About Cars that Ford plans to launch the Focus RS in the US in 2016. However, getting one might not be so easy - the boosted powertrain means the car would likely need to be imported from Europe. That's likely going to keep the total number available in the US rather low. The sources estimate a price tag that's a bit more expensive than the top Focus ST3, which starts around $28,500, plus $825 destination.
It seems that a pretty potent package comes for all of that cash, though. The Focus RS reportedly uses a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making between 325 and 350 horsepower, with a torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system to get that muscle to the road. The test mules also wear more aggressive front and rear fascias, dual exhaust tips, larger brakes and sticky tires. It sounds like a great formula on top of the already enjoyable Focus ST.
