I need to sell this car before winter hits even though I will be sad to see it go. This is a 1960 Ford Thunderbird with an automatic transmission. I bought this car a few years ago with the intention of restoring her. She is ready to be restored to mint condition. The body is STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW. There is NO RUST on the under body and only a small rust spot on the rear passenger side lower panel, just rear of the fender well; it is the size of a quarter. The body is a 9 of 10. Paint is the original color and shows age (worn away in some spots and mostly dull). As I intended to restore her, I initially stared working on her mechanically. The entire front end has recently been taken apart, cleaned, inspected and lubed. She got 2 new ball joints and a bit of honing on both front wheel cylinders. When we checked the rear wheel cylinders they were in good shape. The entire breaking system has been combed through. The drums (front and rear) are in great shape with no warp and the shoes have good lift left on them. The brake line to the two rear wheels is a new single line not spliced. I was told by the previous owner that the master cylinder had recently been rebuilt so assume it has been rebuilt in the past 4 years. The car has had a complete tune-up in the last 1000 miles and all fluid levels were checked and all were in line where they should be including the differential. The carburetor is a Holly that is a 4 barrel which is dialed all the way down. My mechanic says it is a bit too big for the car. The motor is not original but was a Ford 352 that has been bored to a 380 and rebuilt. I do not know when the motor was rebuilt. Transmission is a not stock C6 that is in perfect working condition. Nothing is wrong with the car mechanically besides a small crack in the passenger side exhaust manifold. The odometer states somewhere around 90,000 and I would assume by the condition of the car that the car itself only has 90,000 miles on it but I am not sure. The Exhaust system is newer. The lock for the doors is the same key as the ignition and I have two keys for that. There is a separate key for the trunk and I believe one other key that may be for the glove box. The interior is in above average condition for its age and all the parts that go with the interior come with the car even though they may not be installed (basically just trim pieces). The only thing that is missing is the original switch for the heat/defrost. I had the tracks moved back for the passenger seat and new tracks made for the driver seat so the seats can go back farther. Power driver seat does work as well as all of the lights, high beams, interior lights and horn. The car has air conditioning which is not original and when it was added they put in a different heat/air switch. I have not tried the heat or the air conditioning because I drive the car with the windows down and I have never driven it when it is cold out. Tires have good tread but are old and I would recommend replacing them. I have the original window sticker and bill of sale for the car which shows the options the car came with. The car was sold in the northeast but I was told by the previous owner is spent most of its life in the Mesa, AZ. I've got more than $10,000 in the car but I have no garage for her for winter. $6000 will buy her. $500 non refundable is due within 48 hours of auction end through paypal.

Ford Focus EV's slow sales trigger massive incentives
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports Ford is having real trouble moving its new Focus Electric. As a result, the automaker is offering substantial incentives in an attempt to lure in more buyers. How substantial? Try $10,750 off of a three-year lease. What's more, the EV can now be had for $37,995 ($2,000 less than its original base price) on top of an additional $2,000 cash discount to buy the EV outright - or you can opt for 1.9-percent financing if you work through Ford Motor Credit. None of which factors in various potential government incentives. Last year, Ford managed to sell a paltry 685 of the 1,627 Focus EV hatchbacks it built.
Ford isn't alone in trying to woo more buyers to its EV effort. Nissan cut the price of its Leaf by a whopping 18 percent for 2013, now down to $28,800 and built in the USA. The move followed the automaker's substantial incentives in 2012.
If you want a Focus Electric, you can now apparently get your hands on one for as little as $285 per month with $930 due at signing for a 36-month lease with 10,500 miles per year.
Weekly Recap: Marchionne's Manifesto again calls for industry consolidation
Sat, May 2 2015Sergio Marchionne isn't taking no for an answer. Despite public rebuffs from General Motors and Ford, the leader of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles continues to push for consolidation within the auto industry. His latest assertion came Wednesday when he said a combination of FCA with another automaker could net savings of $5 billion or more annually. No, this isn't about selling his company, he claimed, it's about cutting costs. Put simply, the auto industry wastes money, Marchionne said during FCA's earnings conference call. Companies invest billions to develop basic components that all cars use, but many consumers don't care how they work or recognize the differences. "About half of this is really relevant in terms of positioning the car in the marketplace," he said. "The other half, in our view, is stuff which is neither visible to the consumer nor is it relevant to the consumer." In 2014, top automakers spent more than $100 million on product development, FCA estimated. Marchionne said consolidation could save up to $1 billion on powertrains alone, noting that almost every automaker offers four- and six-cylinder engines. Not everyone has to make their own, he contended. "The consumer could not give a flying leap whose engines we are using because they are irrelevant to the buying decision." That's pretty provocative for enthusiasts, but less so for average consumers. Still, there are major differences in power and efficiency ratings, even among similar engines. Skeptics could argue consolidation would also weaken competition and reduce choices for car buyers. Marchionne stressed his presentation, curiously entitled Confessions of a Capital Junkie, wouldn't require closing factories or dealerships. It's not his final "big deal" as CEO, intent to sell FCA, or a way to elevate his company up the automotive food chain. He claims he wants to fundamentally change the industry and its habit for burning cash. "The horrible part about this, and the thing that I find most offensive, is that the capital consumption rate is duplicative," he said. "It doesn't deliver real value to the consumer and it is in its purest form, economic waste."

Ford recalls 300,000 Crown Vics over lighting module
Wed, Dec 23 2015The Basics: Ford is recalling 312,814 units of the Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis sedans from the 2003-2005 model years. They were built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant between Oct. 3, 2001, and Aug. 2, 2005. Ford says 296,004 of those units are located in the United States, with another 14,714 in Canada and 2,096 in Mexico. The Problem: The solder joints on the lighting control module could crack, depriving the headlamps of the power they need to light the way ahead. That could increase the risk of a crash, particularly at night and in other low-visibility situations. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports that it is aware of 11 accidents that resulted from the problem, leading to one injury described as "minor." The Fix: The manufacturer is instructing dealers to replace the entire lighting control module. If You Own One: Make sure your headlights are working before getting under way. If they're not, avoid driving under low-light conditions, including at night, in heavy precipitation, or in fog.
