Up for auction is my 65 T-Bird convertible, whice I owned for the last 25 plus years. Drove it to meets all around the NE, and to most local shows. Great road car, drives, and handles like an expensive new car. This Thunderbird has the original leather black seats, in good condition. Car has been repainted about 10 years ago, and in good, to fair condition. Has some minor scratchs, but no dents, nor rot. Bumpers are all original, with original chrome, no dents, or missing parts. All the rest of chrome is all in good condition. Has power windows, all working. Has a "swing away " streering wheel, allowing driver to enter, exit car easy. The convertible top is original, with no tears, etc. One pad for the top, whice is located inside of the car has a portion missing, but dose not hinder the woking of the top. The top is in working condition, all relays work, same for hyd cylinders. I replaced some of the hyd hoses, and did replace the top motor. Also, replaced the limit switch. I added a "tunic top", that covers the back seat, as seen in the picture. Has the 390 engine, with auto-trans. Since I had the car, I replaced the lifters, oil pump, water pump, and had tune ups done. Has new white wall tires. Has the original hub caps in good condition. The radio was replaced by preivous owner with a am/fm type. Same for the ant. This Thunderbird is a good example of a convertible, that will allow you to drive, and if it's your desire to do a restoration, you can drive it also. I did also add a passenger side Thunderbird mirror, whice I forgot to memtion. I'm selling off some of my cars due to age, and health, and this is the first being offered. Along with the car, go's all the parts that I aqquired over the time I had this car, as well as the used parts replaced. Will also add the repair manual. Please look over the pictures, and do ask questions before bidding. Good luck, and thanks for looking.

2016 Ford Explorer embarks at the LA Auto Show
Wed, 29 Oct 2014Twenty-five years since its debut in 1990, Ford will celebrate a quarter century of Explorer models next year with the debut of a refreshed 2016 model at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19. The Blue Oval is keeping mum on hard details about the updated SUV for now, but the brand promises, "a new look, added capability and additional driver-assist technology," in its announcement.
Company marketing boss Jim Farley elaborated a little more on what to expect. "The new Explorer is still the SUV America fell in love with - a vehicle built for the perfect family adventure," he said in the release that you're welcome to read down below.
An updated Explorer is a pretty big deal for Ford's bottom line. Worldwide, SUVs and crossovers account for about 23 percent of Ford's sales, and the segment is projected to grow to around 29 percent by 2020. Ford further says that SUVs and CUVs are the world's quickest growing segment with demand up 88 percent since 2008.
What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name
Thu, 07 Aug 2014
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
Rowan Atkinson crashes at Goodwood Revival
Sun, 14 Sep 2014To quote Harry Hogge (played by Robert Duvall) in Days of Thunder, "rubbin, son, is racin'." That can mean some unfortunate damage to high-end racing machinery, which may be repaired easily enough in stock car racing, but when it comes to vintage racing, the stakes can be that much higher. And yet incidents do occur, like at this weekend's Goodwood Revival.
Among the many competitors taking part in the retro racing event in England was none other than Rowan Atkinson, the actor perhaps best known for playing Mr. Bean. Driving a classic Ford Falcon Sprint in the Shelby Cup event, Atkinson (pictured above at the 2012 revival) reportedly crashed head-on into another car on track.
According to reports, the two cars up spun out. The driver in between managed to avoid a pile-up, but Atkinson couldn't steer clear and hit the obstructing vehicle. Fortunately Rowan walked away unscathed (and, we imagine, in a humorous manner), but while we don't know how extensive the damage was to the Falcon, it was enough to take it out of the race.
