This Red 1960 Thunderbird has been stored and not started for many years, and is in the DETERIORATED condition as shown.  NEEDS COMPLETE RECONDITIONING OR RESTORATION.  The last owner cleaned out his garage of two 1960 T-birds, and both are shown in some of the photos, and this item is the red one.  The companion white 1960 parts car must be listed separately, per eBay guidelines and is item number 290944731923, and can be seen here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1960-Ford-Thunderbird-Base-Hardtop-2-Door-5-8L-PARTS-CAR-and-extra-parts-/290944731923?_trksid=p3984.m1557.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MESCX:IT&forcev4exp=true#ht_500wt_1022


This T-Bird was a one owner since 1963.  The floors and sheet metal are in remarkably good shape and very low relative rust compared to many other regions that are less dry.  Please use your own expertise and the photos as a guide, but a personal inspection in metro Denver is highly recommended, as it will require a vast amount of work to bring it back to life.  

Windshield and other parts show wear/damage, and some parts may be missing or non-original.  The tires are flat and won't hold air, so keep this in mind regarding shipment.  Assistance may be available to move the car in the Denver metro area only, so please inquire.
 
Any extra parts (and dirt) shown in the trunk or in the car are included.  Sold completely AS-IS, TOW AWAY, and an emission non-compliance form signed by the buyer may be required.  There is no warranty of any kind. Please inquire with questions and thanks for looking!

Has the 2015 Ford Mustang gained hundreds of pounds?

Sun, 01 Jun 2014

Automakers face competing interests when it comes to developing a new generation of vehicle. On the one hand, companies want to build their cars to be safer and better handling, with more equipment and maybe even larger dimensions over the model it's replacing. On the other hand, they strive to keep weight down to the benefit of both performance and fuel consumption. Usually something has to give, and in the case of the new 2015 Ford Mustang, those efforts may have resulted in a weight penalty of two or three hundred pounds.
This according to Blue Oval modifier Steeda Autosports, which states that "the 2015 Mustang ended up gaining 200-300 pounds in this remake". Despite the Mustang not being on the market yet, it would appear the leading Ford aftermarketer has been given early access to the 2015 model to help jumpstart its tuning efforts (a rather common development among trusted tuners). If Steeda's assertion is accurate, that would make the challenge of getting the new pony car up to speed for both Ford and aftermarket customizers like Steeda that much greater.
We're waiting for official word from Ford on the veracity of Steeda's claim, but if true, it's bound to be a bit of disappointing news for legions of Blue Oval performance enthusiasts. Watch this space for more.

2015 Ford Mustang spied on video for the first time

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Not many cars will continue to hold our rapt attention quite like the upcoming redesigned 2015 Ford Mustang, codenamed S550 internally. Earlier this month, we brought you the first spy photos of a next-gen Mustang prototype out testing, and even though expertly placed cladding concealed the pony car's new shape, we could tell that underneath was hiding an altogether new form inspired by the Evos Concept from 2011.
Today we give you some video of what looks to be the same Mustang prototype, which you can watch below, and while the budding director behind the camera wasn't able to capture much in the way of the engine's audio signature, we can see the car in motion for the first time and compare its relative size and shape to the S197 Mustang GT that's on its tail.
