Listing today is for my 1983 T-Bird Heritage Edition. I have owned this car since 2008 and it had approx 75k miles on it, today it has 91k on it. We purchased this car for my sons 1st car and it served its purpose very well never having any issues. He has since moved on to college and roped me into getting him a new car so for the past couple years it has only been driven sparingly and sits in my garage covered up but due to the possibility of a change in careers its time to unload some of my cars as I cant drive them all. Since owning the car numerous items have been repaired or replaced. Some of the items I recall at the moment are a new heater core, new brakes, headliner was replaced, window motors replaced, new tires. Car originally had steel wheels and hubcaps and now has mustang turbine rims on it. If you want I believe I still have the original steel wheels and I know I have the caps. I believe I am the 4th owner of the car. The car started out in CA and then was in PA, the gentleman I purchased it from only owned it a short time and purchased it from a family member. Since I have owned it it has never seen snow and I don't believe it was ever winter driven as the underside is very clean and rust free. The doors are solid and not rotted out at the bottoms like typical fox body birds. Car has a/c but it hasn't worked since I've owned it and never looked to see what was needed. The window run channels and dew wipes are perfect and not dried out or cracked. The car has keypad entry which works with the original ford code sticker still in the trunk. I have the original owners manual along with some factory Ford service manuals. Right now as the car sits the grille on it is painted to match the car but I also have a chrome original grille that goes with the car. Both grilles have the correct turquoise T-Bird emblem that was used on the Heritage editions. Because it is a Heritage it also has the coach lamps. They lit faintly when I bought the car but now just give out a faint hum which I believe signifies a bad invertor in them which can be repaired with a little electrical know how. The only item the car needs at the moment is a muffler. Due to my change in careers and moving I have listed this with a low reserve and will consider the high bid if reserve not met so bid to win. If you have any questions or want any other pictures just ask and I will get them as soon as I can.

Ford considering return to Le Mans with new EcoBoost LMP2
Mon, 21 Jul 2014If you want to see a Ford racing prototype, you need look no further than the United SportsCar Championship, where the Blue Oval fields two Daytona Prototypes powered by an EcoBoost-branded 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. But according to the latest rumors, that may not be enough for Ford, which has as much brand to promote overseas as it does back home.
That could be why Racer magazine is reporting that Ford may be poised to return to Le Mans in the coming years. As we all know, Ford competed at Le Mans in the mid-through-late '60s, bringing home four consecutive overall wins with the legendary GT40. The new program would not, according to Racer, seek to relive those glory days, but would instead compete for class wins in the LMP2 category.
Currently, LMP2 regulations are somewhat split between the United SportsCar Championship in North America on the one hand and ACO-sanctioned series like the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series and FIA World Endurance Championship on the other, but plans are underway for the regulations to be unified in time for the 2017 season. That could be when Ford is targeting its return, allowing it to compete on both sides of the Atlantic to maximize its exposure.
Entry-level F-150 now offers SuperCrew, Sport Package
Thu, 29 Aug 2013Ford has made a few notable tweaks to the lower end of its F-150 lineup, giving customers a more affordable version of the four-door SuperCrew body style. The popular SuperCrew could previously only be had on XLT models and above, but Ford has announced that 2014 F-150s with the base STX trim can get the more versatile body.
The STX SuperCrew brings the price of a four-door F-150 down from $34,525 to $33,145. Like the XLT SuperCrew, the STX will be available with the choice of a 5.5- or 6.5-foot bed, while a 5.0-liter V8 can replace the base 3.7-liter V6 for $4,425. Ford has not released pricing on the different bed lengths yet, but opting for the 6.5-foot bed on the XLT raises the price $1,240 and forces buyers into the 5.0-liter V8. We'd expect a similar arrangement on the STX.
The other big news for fans of affordable pickups is the addition of an STX Sport Package on the base-level truck. It adds 20-inch wheels, black exterior accents, black-and-gray cloth seats and decals on the truck's box. The Sport Package is available on all three of the STX's body styles, with Ford listing the price as $980 with current discounts.
1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
