Car is in good condition overall. Paint is glossy but has a few scratches and sags. Glass and convertible soft top are good. Car is solid and runs well. 312 cubic inch y-block with four-barrel carburetor produces 218 hp in stock form. Three speed manual transmission shifts properly and electric overdrive unit functions as it should. First gear is not synchronized. The car must be brought to a complete stop before shifting into first. This is not a problem driving the car, as the engine is a torque monster and accelerates from idle in second gear smoothly. Car is equipped with Coker Classic wide-whitewall radials ($615.36, May '05). Less than 1,000 miles on them and no sign of dry rot. 15" chrome wire wheels with Thunderbird lettering and logo on spinners (we can't find that receipt, but believe the purchase price for four wheels was around $1,200). Bias-ply tires and factory steel wheels and full wheel covers included in sale. Trim plate on firewall shows: 40A E XA 18EL1824

Parts replaced or repaired since 2001 purchase, in addition to remedial body work;

All receipts since 1994 included, plus factory shop manual and various catalogs.

Car is well sorted out, has been well cared for, and has had serious mechanical and cosmetic upgrades over the past 12 years while accumulating less than 1,500 additional miles. 50,012.8 currently showing on odometer. Took her out for her first spin this Spring and she's running just fine. We drive the car only enough to keep everything working properly and to attend a few very local shows.

We have over $38,000 in the car to date. Reserve is considerably lower. Car is available for inspection and test drive prior to auction end.

Truckmakers squabbling over who can sell Jimmy Fallon a pickup

Sat, 08 Mar 2014

Snagging a celebrity endorsement is a big deal for automakers, as evidenced by the recent efforts of the Detroit Three to try and woo The Tonight Show's newest host, Jimmy Fallon, into one of their trucks.
After announcing during Wednesday night's show that he was in the market for a pickup truck, Fallon set off a firestorm of efforts on Twitter, with both Ford and Chevrolet petitioning the funnyman to test out a truck. According to Ad Age, Ford recommended the King Ranch edition of its next-generation F-150 while the show was still airing. Chevy, meanwhile, waited until the next morning to pitch a Silverado to Fallon.
The winner of this social media feeding frenzy, though, was Ram. Promoting a variation of its "Guts, Glory, Ram" tagline, the Auburn Hills-based manufacturer created the hashtag #GUTSGLORYFallon. It even went so far as to park a Ram 1500 outside 30 Rockefeller Center in New York, where The Tonight Show is filmed. On the back of the Ram sat a sign, reading "Big enough, Jimmy? Test it out," referencing a joke from the Wednesday show.

Cadillac ELR, Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas win Eyes on Design awards

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

This year's annual Eyes on Design awards were presented at the end of press days for the Detroit Auto Show on Tuesday. Given out for the best production and concept car designs that debuted at the show, and voted on by an esteemed panel of actual car designers, this year's award for best production vehicle design went to the 2014 Cadillac ELR. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, which was the show favorite among Autoblog editors, apparently did not impress the Eyes on Design judges enough with its all-new vent-festooned design.
The award for best concept design was actually split as a tie among the Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas concepts. Last year's winners were the 2013 Ford Fusion and the Lexus LF-LC concept.
The Eyes on Design organization also presented a new honor this year called the Catalyst Award to Bob Lutz, former Vice Chairman of General Motors. Lutz is reported to have given a defense of design in his acceptance speech, arguing that advancements in quality across the industry as a whole have made good design a key differentiator for buyers.

2013 Ford F-150 Limited

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

The 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.
