1961 Ford Thunderbird 59k Miles Triple Blue Wide Whites Great Driver T-bird on 2040-cars
Ringgold, Georgia, United States
|
This is a great 1961 Ford Thunderbird in triple blue. The car runs and drives great and has the factory 390 motor with original automatic transmission. I was told by the previous owner that both the motor and transmission were rebuilt recently. It is very clean in the engine compartment and there are many new parts such as voltage regulator,windshield washer bag, coil, water pump, ect which leads me to believe that it was all re-done. The interior is super clean with re-upholstered front and rear seats and newer carpet. The headliner is original and looks awesome. By the looks of the brake pedal pad and the headliner I think there is alot of credibility to the prevoius owner's statement that the car has original miles. Odometer says 59,944..... The car has had alot of recent work including new brakes,wheel cylinders, rubber brake lines, shocks, new wide white walls, gas tank cleaned out, new fuel lines and filter, and much much more. All the lights work and wipers, dome light, door light even the cig lighter works. The paint is bright and shiney and looks great, it is not perfect and has some blems here and there. There are some nic's on the pass door from door opening on it, a couple small bubbles but over-all nice. If you have a paint guy that is good with fixing small inperfections and then blending paint back in then its a easy fix. There is a small area on the left rear quarter that has surface rust, not a hole or anything just where the paint chipped off. Once again a easy fix for a good paint man. There is a real nice and expensive Ford "Thunderbird" aftermarket radio already installed in the car. I forgot to take pictures of the trunk but will add them later, its a clean as under the hood. This is a great driver quality car that looks great and everybody loves when im out driving it. This car can be taken to the final level of "show car" with a litte polishing and cosmetic work. All the hard and expensive stuff has been done. This is the only one i've ever seen with this color combo and i love it. Almost all your 61-63 Birds are a standard white, red, black or cream color. This is a very unique car and screams class. I want to make it very clear that this is not a show car. If it were a # 1 condition car then i would'nt be selling it as cheap as my low reserve is. The reserve is very low for a car of this quality. This car has small inperfections in the paint that can be easily fixed without having to paint the whole car. The paint stands tall and looks great. This is a awesome driver quality car that has had well over $12,000 in restore work done. If you are looking for a 100 point car then you will need to look at Birds in the 25-30K range. This is a great compromise because its a fraction of that cost but still stands tall and is very neat and tidy. Please do not bid if you are not sure you want to own this car. Ebay charges alot of money to vehical seller's and that last thing we want is a non-paying bidder. Im sure you understand. I have tried to basically under-sell the car because i do not want any misrepresentation and would rather make the car sound worse then it is and not have any problems when the new owner comes to get the car. It really is a very nice car, just not museum quality yet. There are a few things that i will try and fix before the end of the auction. The radio works fine but i don't like the way the wires are run so i am going to re-route, also the brake lights stay on occasionally,probaly the switch and there is a exhaust leak somewhere that i have to find. If i have enough time this week or weekend I will try to find and repair those items. I work 60 hours a week so I cant guarantee that those small items will get done. I just took the car on a 200 mile road trip and it did great. The newer tires are "period correct" wide walls bias ply are are great around town but bias ply don't like the interstate over about 65 mph. This is just a great car and I will hate to see it go. This is a turn key car and one that you can drive as you finish the "fine detail" work that it needs. Please feel free to call me with any questions at 706-218-4028. My name is Christopher. Oh and I live in Georgia which does not issue titles for cars older than 1975, I will give you a notarized bill of sale along with the Georgia tag reciept that is in my name. If you live in a "title" state then they have to recognize georgia's paper work and they WILL ISSUE YOU A TITLE. Ive been thru this before with out-of-state'ers and know what you need to get your title, no problem......MAY TRADE FOR ANOTHER PRE-1972 VEHICAL OR COOL MODERN CAR OR TRUCK. |

McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021
Tue, May 4 2021Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.
2015 Ford Focus Sedan is fresh-faced and ready to defend its Most Popular crown
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has made an art of deeper-than-normal midlife updates since the 2010 Fusion, a strategy that has allowed it to keep models looking fresher in showrooms for longer without needing full redesigns. Instead of slight touchups to light fixtures, new paint colors and perhaps new wheel patterns, Ford has been digging deeper, with significant sheetmetal changes and very different front-end looks, along with an increased emphasis on new in-car technologies to keep models vibrant. Other automakers are following this trend, and Ford itself is continuing on the path with this new 2015 Focus Sedan.
There's a handsome new SE Sport Package that includes a firmer touring suspension, modest body kit and 17-inch wheels.
We first saw this sleek Aston Martin-like nose fitted to a Focus at the Geneva Motor Show last month, but Ford only showed the new look on the five-door hatchback - this is the first appearance of the sedan, which will bow at next week's New York Auto Show. The front end treatment is the same, with a new hood, new headlamps incorporating LED accents, a different grille shape and a completely revised lower fascia that does away with the 2014 model's controversial triangle-shaped corners and gaping intakes. The rear gets a new two-piece, laser-brazed trunk lid with new taillamps, but the overall look is quite similar to last year's car. In any case, the refreshed look brings the Focus sedan more in line with the design of Ford's other recently reworked cars, including the Fusion and Fiesta.
Ford Australia launches Falcon GT F 351, last of its line [w/video]
Sun, 15 Jun 2014It's always best to go out with a bang rather than a whimper, and Ford Performance Vehicles is doing just that in Australia with the Falcon GT F 351. It's the most powerful road car the Aussie performance brand has ever made with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 pumping out 471 horsepower (351 kilowatts) and 420 pound-feet of torque. It's joined by the FPV Pursuit Ute with the same powerplant tuned to 422 hp and 402 lb-ft. Sadly, the last F in this Falcon's name stands for Final.
The GT F 351 is a monumental way to go out, though. It harkens back to the old days of Aussie muscle Fords, and the 351kw output is meant to reference the classic Falcon GT and its 351-cubic-inch V8. In addition to the massive power, the F has the improved suspension from the R-Spec model and Brembo brake calipers.
FPV is building just 500 GT F sedans for Australia and 50 more for New Zealand, plus 120 Pursuit Utes. They feature a blacked-out hood and black stripes over the hood and sides, plus gloss black accents around the headlights, door handles and mirrors.
