Hello all,
Here is a fantastic opertunity to get into a classic thunderbird convertible before the prices skyrocket. As many of you know the square birds are gaining a bunch of momentum with collectors!
Anyway, this is a 60 convertible that I have wanted to get for a long time, but I'm in the middle of an Xke and an Mga so space and time have become an issue for me. This is a greT project car needing little to be a drive as you go type resto. She runs and drives, just drove her 20 miles yesterday. Motor pulls quite well for a big car. Has a exhaust leak and a little bit of lifter tap, but for an old car she runs pretty good. Tranny shifts well and firm. With throat being said, she has not been regularly used for awhile so fluid change, carb clean etc will do wonders. Suspension is a bit sloppy, and brakes are eh.
The body on this car is why I bought her. While so many are just rusted away this one is remarkably solid. Only minor issues. No holes through that I have seen. The underside of the car looks real nice as does the trunk pan. Rockers, quarters, doors etc are all pretty nice. Trunk lid is not aligned properly. She does need a respray at some point as the paint leaves something to be desired.
Interior is workable, just depends what your doing with the car. New dash cap will do wonders. Seats are just ok, as is everything else. I have a bunch of new interior in the aqua and white color. New dash, console, door panels etc. gauges, steering wheel and chrome that I have are fantastic and is a good step towards restoration and can be included for a cost. Just would need seat covers and carpet and interior would be beautiful. The previous owner said windows and seats were working and he was going to restore the system. Not sure what he did but they are not working now, either is the top. Some gauges work, some don't.
Windshield is cracked but I have a nice replacement. Extra bumpers, and tons of misc parts can be included. Overall this is a great cosmetic resto project on a rare car. I do have a buy it now but am afraid to put it up due to scammers, please only call if serious about the car. 425-802-8682. Title was lost so a signed notarized affidavit in leau of title is included(as good as a title). thanks for looking and ask any questions as I'm sure I for got stuff.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
2015 Ford Mustang to offer solid-rear axle, sort of
Tue, 17 Dec 2013One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.
Ford's simple suit makes you feel like a drunk driver
Tue, Mar 25 2014We've all heard about the dangers of drunk driving for practically our entire lives. Whether it's from PSAs on TV or lectures in school, no one can claim ignorance of drunk driving being extremely dangerous. However, that doesn't prevent some people from still doing it. Ford is trying to take the safety message directly to young drivers with a special suit that allows them to simulate driving under the influence. It is all part of Ford's Driving Skills for Life program that gives free driving education to young people. The program is meant to "train kids in skills they don't learn in driver's ed," said Kelli Felker, Ford Safety Communications Manager, to Autoblog. The drivers don a few items to impair their senses and make them off-balance to simulate having a few too many drinks and then go out on a closed course with an instructor to see the effects. Felker said that the suit is a new part of the program, and Ford just received the outfit in the US. It will be incorporated into the training here in the late spring or early summer.
