HISTORY:

This clear title, turn-key T-Bird was manufactured in Windsor, Canada and purchased by Will Murray a car collector of over 25 vehicles in Spokane, WA. The T-Bird was kept in a climate controlled warehouse and meticulously maintained and used as a daily driver. He later transitioned to driving the T-Bird only to car shows local to the Washington area. Before I purchased I asked the owner, Will Murray, to send me a brief history of the car, this is the info he emailed me:

"This Thunderbird was built in Canada and sold to a woman near Calgary, Alberta in 1988. It was her car. They had a luxury home on the Spokane River outlet from Coeur d'Alene Lake, above the Post Falls dam. (The river is backed up here to provide boat access to Lake Coeur d'Alene. I found the Thunderbord on Auto trader classics when it was advertised as a "rare thunderbird Sport model with 5.0 V8 and extremely low mileage." I followed up to take a look at the car. It was in their garage with a cover on it. I test drove it, it performed great and drove it to Spokane the same day." The car is beautiful inside and out, with approximately 40,000 miles since new, (60,000 km), It looks and drives out like a nearly new car. I have had the car to several car shows. One of which it took first place for the Thundrbird division. At age 75, I have decided to reduce my car collection and get out of my warehouse lease next year."

All guages, odometers and lights function. This T-Bird drives very smooth with an air suspension type feel, smooth yet powerful acceleration with great handling.
A blast from the past this multiple show winning T-Bird is a piece of Ford and NASCAR racing history (google search: 1988 thunderbird racing) and truly holds its own as a respectable classic and daily driver, the best of both worlds!
Almost impossible to find a 1988 Ford T-Bird Sports Coupe with low miles in this condition! My goal is to provide as much information as I can about the car. I have sold several top-notch classics on ebay and the caliber and quality of this classic holds its own and sure to make another very satisfied buyer!

Ford to announce Mulally retirement, Fields CEO as early as May 1

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Ford CEO Alan Mulally may be about to announce his long-rumored retirement from the Blue Oval, according to a pair of insiders who spoke to Bloomberg. An official statement on the succession could arrive as soon as May 1. Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields is rumored to step up as the new CEO. The company is said to be readying the announcement soon to ensure an orderly transition of power, according to the insiders.
Mulally's retirement from Ford has been a hot topic for a while. He was seriously rumored last year to be leaving the automaker to take over as the CEO of Microsoft. The board even said at one point that it was okay with them if he stepped down early. However, the CEO maintained he would stay with the business through at least the end of 2014. Fields has been rumored as a frontrunner to take over the top spot at the company since he was promoted to COO.
For the moment, Ford isn't officially confirming any of these plans. "We don't comment on speculation. We do have succession plans in place for our key leadership. We take succession planning very seriously," said Susan Krusel, Ford Global News Manager, to Autoblog.

Ford supports bid for Detroit Rallycross race with Motown-minded Fiesta ST vid

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

As Ford continues its cheerleading effort to help bring the 2014 Summer X Games to its hometown of Detroit, MI, it has released footage of its 2014 Fiesta ST Rallycross car on location at some of the city's well-known landmarks. This video appears to have been shot around the same time as the previous X Games Detroit video was made, but it focuses 100-percent on rally car action.
With Ford Racing driver Andreas Eriksson behind the wheel, this Fiesta ST lays down some serious rubber atop Detroit's Cobo Hall parking structure, at Belle Isle and around the Michigan Central Depot. Detroit isn't alone in the bid for a three-year X Games contract as Chicago, Austin and Charlotte are also hoping to play host. The winning host city is expected to be announced this summer. Scroll down for Ford's two-minute video showing the Fiesta ST Rallycrossing through the Motor City.

Oprah at it again, gives car away on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

Oprah Winfrey loves giving away cars. Not only has she given Pontiac G6 sedans and Volkswagen Beetle retro-mobiles to everyone in the audience of her past show, but the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she gave another car away to one lucky audience member, while yelling her now-famous line: "You get a car!"
Although the acting of Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel was obviously staged for this giveaway, the reaction from the woman in the audience was genuine shock as she found out that she had just won a new Ford Fusion Energi. Congrats!
Not to take away from what Oprah and Jimmy pulled off, but our cynical sides have to wonder if there isn't more than just a little coincidence that this giveaway took place on the same day that Ford announced a fuel economy reduction for the C-Max hybrid. You be the judge... Scroll down to watch the short clip from the episode.
