Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Here is an all original (except color) numbers matching solid T-Bird. Both tops. Automatic. See description for more details."

Except for the color this is an all original numbers matching 57 Thunderbird. The car was painted the current color sometime prior to 1974 when my wife's uncle acquired the car. From the factory it would have been colonial white. The original radio is still in the car and it works. The original jack is in the trunk. The gas gauge and temperature gauge are not working. The wipers will not turn off when the motor is running (wipers have been removed but originals are with the car). Someone apparently tried to re-glue or replace the padded dash and did not do a very good job on the right side. Interior is still the original and shows the age. I have not had the soft top up but it appears to be in good condition. The rear window is clear and not cracked. The car had been sitting since 2008. It will start right up but does run a little rough and needs a good tune up. The car could fit the description of being a "20 footer". The transmission leaks fluid....seals have likely dried from not being driven. The "Fordomatic" transmission shifts fine. A careless hauler used a ratchet strap across the rear of the car resulting in damage to the paint slightly larger than a quarter in the middle of the trunk lid. Overall the paint is fair. I've found no rust on the body. There is a small part of the front grill with some surface rust that re-plating or replacing would cure. A little of the chrome shows some pitting. Tires have aged (still bias ply) and need to be replaced. If you are looking for a 57 Thunderbird that you can do some work on to make a nice driver or to fully restore this is a good choice. I will assist with shipping but arranging for and paying for shipping will be the responsibility of the buyer. A 10% deposit is required within 48 hours of the end of the auction. Final payment due within 10 days of end of auction and to be by cash or Cashier's check only prior to pickup. Prompt pickup is expected.....if not picked up within two weeks of end of sale deposit will be forfeited and this vehicle will be back on the market unless other arrangements have been made with me. I am offering this car for sale outside of Ebay and reserve the right to pull this car from auction unless reserve price has been reached. If you have additional questions you may contact me through Ebay.

Ford shares falling on news of lower-than-expected profits next year

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

Ford has released projections for its 2013 profits, along with predictions of its 2014 earnings, and the news has forced the company's stock to stumble, falling over seven percent as of this writing. The Blue Oval is expecting earnings of $8.34 billion for 2013, although the bulk of that is coming largely from its North American operations, as troubles abroad continue to take a toll.
Calling 2013 an "outstanding" year, Ford expects its revenue to be up about 10 percent, thanks to gains in market share everywhere but Europe. But it's 2014 predictions that are causing stock prices to fall, as the Dearborn-based manufacturer expects pre-tax profits to fall to $7 to $8 billion, because of troubles in both Europe and South America, according to a report from Reuters. This is despite an expansion plan that will see it open an additional factory in the southern hemisphere, as well as two plants in China, all in a bid to launch 23 new or refreshed products next year.
The issues in South America aren't so much related to a fall in sales - Ford expects improved profits in Brazil and Argentina - but because of currency devaluations in Venezuela that are projected to cost it around $350 million. While that would still allow it to break even with 2013, Ford cites continued economic risks that could push losses even higher.

American automakers fall in latest Fortune 500 rankings

Fri, 10 May 2013

Not that it means anything beyond bragging rights, but if you're fixated on the positions of domestic automakers on the annual Fortune 500 list, both General Motors and Ford are still on it but they've slipped a couple of notches. The list ranks American companies and they're ordered solely by revenue. GM, fifth last year, came in seventh, while Ford fell from ninth to tenth even though both companies saw small gains in annual revenue.
GM's $152.3 billion in revenue was less than a third of that of the first company on the list: Wal-Mart, which regained the title from Exxon Mobil. Berkshire Hathaway and Apple are the firms that moved GM down. Ford, displaced by energy company Valero, had $134.3 billion in revenue.
On a side note, profitability isn't a factor, but both GM and Ford were down in this year's list compared to last year's: GM declined from $9.2 billion to $6.2 billion, Ford fell from $20.2 billion to $5.6 billion. If profits were included, Exxon Mobil would probably still be king: although the energy company made almost $20 billion less in revenue than Wal-Mart's $469.2 billion, it posted $44.9 billion in profit compared to Wal-Mart's $17 billion.
