 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.

Amazon can now deliver packages to some Ford and Lincoln vehicles

Tue, Apr 30 2019

Nothing succeeds without complications popping up along the way. Sure, Amazon's Prime delivery services have made shopping more convenient than brushing your teeth, but leaving millions of packages on doorsteps comes with an inherent danger: Thieves might swipe them without anybody knowing. Amazon's solution is called Amazon Key, which allows delivery men and women to enter a customer's house or car to drop off a package. This week, Ford and Lincoln announced they would be partnering with Amazon to integrate the service into some of their vehicles. Ford is following in the footsteps of Volvo and General Motors, as both companies announced their participation about a year ago. That includes Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC. Key will be made available for 2017-and-newer Fords equipped with FordPass Connect, and 2018-and-later Lincolns with Lincoln Connect. Key is not available everywhere, but it can be used in dozens of city throughout the U.S., and the network is expanding. To look for compatibility for your car and city, check on Amazon's dedicated Key website. Like every other tech invention these days, Key requires a smart device application, which requires a one-time setup. The service is available on the Key app or the FordPass and Lincoln Way apps. While ordering on Amazon, customers will then select in-car delivery during checkout. Input a public delivery address, and park the car within two blocks of that address. While the order is in transit, Amazon will provide status updates, another feature that takes away some of the anxiety of waiting for a package to be delivered. The package will be put into the car within a four-hour window, and users will get notifications that the exchange is complete, and the car is again securely locked. Should customers change their minds, they can always cancel the delivery method, and the car will remain locked. In that case, the delivery could go to the building where the car is parked, or be rescheduled. Ford imagines this as the beginning of numerous car-based services in the near future that can be scheduled while the owner is not there, such as car washes.

Ford, Chrysler and Mazda expand scope of Takata airbag recalls

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The scope of the Takata airbag inflator recall is ballooning once again across the United States. Where Honda has elected to take its driver-side airbag campaign nationwide, Chrysler Group and Ford have now announced expanded regional actions to cover some passenger-side airbag inflators. Mazda is adding more regions, as well. For Chrysler Group, the campaign covers the inflators on 149,150 examples of the 2003-model-year Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups. The recall is limited to vehicles sold or ever registered in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the Virgin Islands. The company will begin notifying affected customers on January 19. According to Chrysler's announcement of the action, the passenger side inflators in these trucks "are of a type that is not used in any of the other vehicles affected by Chrysler Group's regional field action." The automaker says that it's not aware of any actual failures or accidents in these pickups and even claims there are no "observed failures in laboratory testing of its airbag modules." The company is continuing to study the problem, though. Ford is taking a similar step by issuing a recall of inflators for 38,500 examples of the 2004-2005 Ranger and 2005-2006 Ford GT. The campaign only affects vehicles originally sold or ever registered in Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Certain zip codes of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa are also covered. There's already precedent for passenger-side airbags to be covered under the Takata inflator recall. When many automakers announced campaigns in June, BMW, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota all included that side in some of their repairs. Subaru subsequently did, as well. In addition, Mazda is expanding the scope of its recall to add Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Saipan, Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas to the affected areas. The company estimates that it has a total of 86,773 vehicles in need of repair. Mazda is also teaming with Toyota to begin independent testing of the Takata inflators. Scroll down to read all of the automakers' announcements of these newly expanded recalls. Statement: Air-Bag Inflators December 3, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich.

Lincoln MKC will be renamed the Corsair in 2021, probably

Mon, Jun 18 2018

Lincoln will be renaming its MKC crossover, calling it the Corsair instead. Automotive News is reporting that the recently trademarked, yet storied Ford model name Corsair will be affixed on the 2021 model year crossover. The report says Ford has already told its U.S. dealers about the name at an Orlando meeting last month. Ford has a long history with the Corsair nameplate in the States and abroad: Most recently, it has been in use in Australia in the early 1990s, in the UK in the 1960s, and before that Ford offered an Edsel Corsair in the late 1950s. Even if an Edsel connection might not be the best possible thing for a Ford product, let alone a Lincoln, it might serve the crossover well as Ford moves to ditch the MK naming convention it's used for Lincoln for the past decade. Still, the manufacturer is said to have cautioned dealers it might opt out of using the Corsair name before production time. At the same meeting, Ford reportedly showed the next-generation Escape, the Explorer, a battery electric crossover dubbed the Mach 1, a yet-unnamed small SUV (which might be the Bronco) , and a new Lincoln Continental complete with suicide doors. The MKC will still receive a refresh for next year, retaining its letters-name for a couple of years before the bigger redesign for 2021. Currently, the MKC is the strongest-selling Lincoln product in China, and it brings in numerous new Lincoln customers there. In the U.S. it's outsold by the MKX crossover and is neck-and-neck with the MKZ sedan.
