Location:

Available for addition to your Classic Ford Collection is a super low mileage 1975 Thunderbird in a very attractive red with black interior combo. 1975 was the 20th anniversary for the Thunderbird ! This Bird was brought from a Thunderbird enthusiast that had it in proper storage. This car has only 13,xxx miles on the all original and powerful (? !) 460ci engine and automatic transmission. The body wears 80+% of it's original paint. The hood was, from the best we can tell, the only thing that has been repainted due to being "egged" when the car was new. The passenger door skin is dented but has no paint cracking (looks like someone heavy leaned on door to close it and bowed the panel) . You may be able to push it out if the inside door trim panel is removed. The hood has some age cracking and clouding in it that is visible only upon close inspection. The second area of mention is a small chip the size of a pencil eraser on the top of the rear quarter panel just behind the drivers door. The beautiful example of a 1975 Thunderbird has been examined by a quallified automative service technician and is ready to drive anywhere. The Technician did suggest a set of plug wires due to them being the OE 1975 factory wires (still numbered) but we hated to change anything that was not a must on such a low mileage example. All fluids have been changed and the carburetor has been rebuilt. A new set of tires were installed due to age. Power windows, Door Locks, Cruise, and all work as designed as well as all other accessories. The Air Cond. worked great when put in storage, but may need to be top'd off this spring. Bid now to own this Rare low mile example of old American iron. Please contact for additional information needed.

Are you a new Ford Mustang SVO? [w/video]

Fri, 16 May 2014

When Ford announced that its 2015 Mustang would arrive with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, three letters came to mind: SVO. While Ford hasn't said a word regarding the rebirth of a Mustang SVO model, this latest set of spy shots shows us something very, very interesting. Allow us to explain.
The Mustang prototype in these photos looks very similar to the GT500 test cars we've spotted before - same bulging hood, aggressive front fascia and air vents aft of the front wheels. What's different, however, is around back. Have a look at the exhaust, and note that instead of the GT500's usual quad pipes, two of the exhaust outlets have been capped off.
Our spies point out that these exhaust outlets could be closed for some sort of emissions testing or another engineering reason, but it's also important to note that the engine and exhaust notes of this car sound completely different from earlier GT500 prototypes. We've got a video below that compares the two.

Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.

Ford paying $750 million just to close plant in Belgium

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

According to a report from Reuters, Ford is shelling out $750 million in a severance deal that will see the automaker close its facility in Genk, Belgium. The automaker reached this deal with the 4,000 hourly workers employed at the plant last week, which means the company will pay out an average of $187,500 per worker.
Ford is still negotiating with the 300 salaried workers at the factory, which currently produces the Mondeo sedan. All told, Ford expects to lose around $2 billion in Europe thanks in no small part to the region's ongoing economic downturn, and two more plants are scheduled to be shut down in Europe this year. The company will log its $750 million payout under "special items" for this quarter.
As you may recall, Ford took a similar path in the US back in 2009 when the domestic market took a spill. Back then, the company shelled out around $50,000 per employee with at least one year of experience, plus either $25,000 toward a new car or an extra cash payment of $20,000. It would seem the cost of closing plants in Belgium is a much harder pill to swallow than in the States...
