1978 Ford Thunderbird 26,000 original miles, garage kept since new. The car has a 351/400 M engine, motorcraft 2bbl carbureator, and an automatic transmission. The car could probably use a minor tune up because it has sat more than it has been driven. The factory air conditioning still retains the R12 refrigerant and blows cold. The tires on the car were replaced about 4 years ago with new radials because of dry rot. There is no rust on the body. It was Z-barted when new. There are about 4 dings in the hood where it appears as if something fell out of the rafters of the garage onto the hood. I am sure that a PDR (paintless dent removal) company could remove the dings. There is also a ding on the passenger side door. The original bronze paint shines nicely with a few imperfections/discoloration on the headlight doors. The underside of the car is original and very nice. The interior is like new with the exception of some discoloration on the door panels and a small scrape/mark on the backseat. The factory headlights open and close like new. The factory clock still ticks like a new one. The only thing on the car that quit working is the fuel gauge. The car is completely original with the exception of the radio. The original radio was replaced with an am/fm cassette when the car was fairly new. I have owned the car for about 6 years and I purchased it from my wife's grandfather. The car is basically an untouched original. If you are looking for a Thunderbird from this era, you will not be disappointed. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Buyer is responsible for shipping. I have a clear title in hand. Good luck!

2013 Ford F-150 Limited
Mon, 28 Jan 2013The Ford F-150 received yet another new model for the 2013 model year, the Limited trim, bringing the ways you can order this country's most popular vehicle to a grand total of 10. There really is an F-150 to suit any need now, and the Limited variant slots in at the very top of the range, above the already pampering Platinum model.
While normally I would admit that I'm the least-appropriate person to test a pickup, the fact that this particular trim places a much higher premium on luxury than anything with a bed and Blue Oval badge before it means that I don't need the workman chops of a skilled tradesman to judge how well this truck meets its true aim.
Driving Notes
Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]
Wed, 20 Aug 2014No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
Ford Mustang EcoBoost has fake engine soundtrack
Wed, 24 Sep 2014The 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost represents a huge change for the Blue Oval as the first pony car in decades to be available with a four-cylinder engine. But a recent tweet (below) from Road & Track raised our curiosity about the new vehicle. Editor Jason Cammisa pulled a fuse while driving the latest 'Stang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, and he found that both the stereo and engine went quiet in the cabin. That indicated the coupe might have some form of artificial engine sound being piped in - a feature not previously heavily reported for the model. Autoblog spoke with Ford engineer Shawn Carney who confirmed that only the turbocharged four-cylinder Mustang comes with this system, called Active Noise Control.
