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.

Buyers ditching expensive European sedans to buy expensive American trucks
Mon, Feb 19 2018The New York Times ended the automotive week with a story that adds numbers and context to a range of other stories, from the crossover craze to the increasing median price of a new car to ever more grandiose pickup trucks. The NYT piece reveals that the shift to larger vehicles isn't merely about the average U.S. buyer swapping the midsize sedan for a Ford Edge. Luxury buyers are migrating from plush sedans to plush SUVs and trucks that creep close to six-figure prices, and the Detroit Three are running Treasury presses because of it. From 2013 to 2017, the truck category — everything from pickups to minivans — climbed from 30 percent of the market to 41 percent. In January of this year, trucks claimed 66 percent of new vehicle sales. At the milk-and-honey end of profits, GMC alone accounted for 11.3 percent of all vehicle sales over $60,000, not just trucks. That puts the luxury truck maker behind Mercedes-Benz and Ford, The Blue Oval's feasting on Lariat, King Ranch and Raptor versions of the F-150, which make up more than half of that pickup's sales, putting it ahead of Chevrolet, Porsche and Lexus on the high-dollar sales list. The average transaction price of a GMC in Denali trim last year was $56,000; it's easy to see why, when one dealer told the NYT he just swapped a 2012 BMW 550i for a $71,000 GMC Sierra Denali. That truck starts at $52,900. The NYT started its story with a buyer who took home a Ford Raptor instead of an Audi A6, and optioned that $50,020 Ford Raptor close to $80,000. Over at Lincoln, the new $72,055 Navigator — the one so popular that Ford will increase production — crossed hands for an average sale price of $77,000 in January. And a Jeep dealer told the NYT that the two $93,000 Trackhawks he had on his lot "won't be here more than a few weeks." While trucks head up in sales volume and price, cars are headed so viciously in the opposite direction that "the Detroit Three and even some foreign manufacturers acknowledge they are now losing money on many of the cars they sell." So ... get ready for a lot more crossovers and trucks. Related Video: Find out what vehicle is right for you. Give our Car Finder tool a try.
2015 Ford Mustang renders reveal look of the real thing
Tue, 15 Oct 2013This is, according to the pony-car obsessed kids over at Mustang6G.com, the closest, most accurate rendering of the new, 2015 Ford Mustang to date. Artis Chazcron used a combination of Ford CAD images and information from assorted spy shots to assemble a fairly handsome car, albeit one that conforms to the tired cliché of being more evolutionary than revolutionary.
Now, it's very important to note that these are still speculative renders, and that they only represent the base car - that could explain the lack of the Mustang's vestigial side scoops, along with other, newer styling cues that Mustang6G seems to think will arrive on production models. Those items include a new, double-bubble roof, although the Mustang aficionados claim that even if it were present, it'd barely be visible from these angles.
The front end is pretty spot on, compared to what we've seen from earlier spy shots, while the tail, with its interesting light design is something new. The louvered taillights look quite different from the current version, obviously, though Mustang has gone the whimsical route with taillights before. Also, note the new rear diffuser uses an integrated reverse light and rear foglight, the latter of which is required for sale in Europe.
Ford looks back on 50 years of the Mustang in Detroit
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Ford has something special sitting in its booth here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. In fact, it brought two special somethings in the form of the Ford Mustang 1 Concept that first saw the light of day in 1962 and the very first production Mustang that rolled off the production line in 1964.
These classic creations are sharing floor space with the brand-new 2014 Mustang in honor of the pony car's 50th Anniversary. Since Ford's latest 'Stang already made its auto show debut (at a number of locations, including Los Angeles), we think it's pretty cool that the Blue Oval did something special for its home-town show.
Check out both the Mustang 1 Concept and first production 1964.5 Mustang above and below.
