1966 T-bird found abandoned in a barn and great for a restoration project. Vin # 6Y87Z107660. This vehicle's body appears very straight. Interior very nice with no wear on seats. Chrome and aluminum trim pit and dent free. All original with factory A/C. Powered buy the 390Hp V8 automatic transmission. I do not know if it runs but common sense would tell me a carb rebuild, plugs, points-condenser, maybe fuel pump and wire set it should purr like a kitten. These cars are old school and cheap to tune!! I was told the mileage is original at 29,686 and the party I spoke to said it did not leak or burn any oil when they seen it run 20 years ago. The owner is deceased so I do not have any concrete info. The odometer could have been turned over but I would think you would see wear in the seats and pedals if that were the case. So your on your own. It is sold as is. I checked the fluids and all is where it should be ( anti freeze, engine oil and transmission fluid)...The vinyl top had deteriorated and due to absorbing water has rusted the top. There are some soft spots up there. The glass and plastic tail lights all look good. In my personal opinion for a car almost 50 years old it is good shape and a great restoration project. There is a large box of manuals and info and factory hub caps inside the vehicle. The tires do hold air for a while but obviously will need to be replaced. I have a clear Fl title and the car can sit for a while for shipping arrangements if needed... Again this vehicle is sold as is !!. I thought of keeping it but I have too many projects....Scott (352) 383-6243

Ford idling Michigan Assembly Plant to trim Focus, C-Max supply
Tue, 22 Oct 2013Ford will be putting the brakes on production at its Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, MI, idling production during the weeks of October 28 and December 16. Ford is citing the first drop in US sales in 27 months, a 4.2-percent dip in September, as the impetus for trimming their supplies, according to Automotive News.
Ford's deft management of its supplies has been part of its success over the years, and seeing supplies of Focus and C-Max, the two vehicles built at MAP, rise from 58 and 108 days, respectively, to 71 and 122 days over the span of a month was apparently all that was need to justify the trimming. As AN points out, the rule of thumb for many automakers is to maintain a 60-day supply of vehicles.
"Ford has been focused on keeping their pricing in check. Their operating margin is in double digits. Nobody else is there and they're obviously very proud of that," Alan Baum, an auto analyst with Baum & Associates told AN. Keeping the supply chain operating smoothly and not increasing supplies too much is crucial to that healthy profit margin. After all, a large supply lowers prices ,which, in turn, cuts profit. So while this news might not be great for employees at MAP, who now have an extra two weeks of vacation time, it's far from a sign of problems in Dearborn. Quite the opposite, actually.
Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost
Mon, 17 Mar 2014"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.
