1961 tbird. We lost our home to a fire and due to our bank allowing the insurance company to close our loan with only cash value policy we have been left to rebuild mostly by our weekly paycheck. We have two young boys who told us they just wanted their home back for Christmas, so I'm selling everything I have left to try and make that happen.
Your help is appreciated more than you will ever know. God Bless. If your a local, Licensed electrician or plumber we are in need of your services for roughing in. Please email your contact info. We can barter. I will be adding details about car tonight, I'm trying to get it listed before it gets to late so check back in the morning for car details. Thank you. FULL DETAILS 1961 Thunderbird with rebuild 302 and tranny. New exhaust, new wiring harness, new fuel tank. Car was stripped and fully epoxy coated in engine compartment, interior floor pans and firewall, trunk, undercarriage. ENGINE We just installed a new distro with internal module and electronic advance. Its small and very clean, only three wires! Really clean up the engine compartment. New brake booster, chrome, was just installed as well. Essential wiring to coil, distro, starter, battery are all run from the new wiring harness. Also the wires going to other areas are run to that area and ready to be terminated at those points, very easy and the booklet that came with wiring harness is included as are the zip ties, headlight terminals, and other various parts. Fuel pump is hooked up as well. Car will start up and runs great, may need fine tuned with timing at some point as it was done all by ear and not a timing light. Will self load on a trailer! INTERIOR Original interior is in good shape for the most part. Back seat is stiff, it will need redone at some point. Dash was stripped as we normally paint our dashes, so it can be finished as a painted dash or have it recovered, your choice. The old radio hole was modified and welded to fit a modern cd player. New wiring harness fuse box is mounter and key switch is wired to start from key. No other dash items are wired but the wiring is routed and ready for termination at its destination. BRAKES Brakes were done a while back but i decided to upgrade to disk conversion on front. The $650 kit is still in the box brand new ready to install. It requires a proportioning valve to complete the installation. BODY & PAINT Body work and paint was done before I purchased the car but was done very well in my opinion. However, we noticed that the hood did not close good because it hit the air cleaner. We have added a larger scoop and blended it to hood. It needs a putty cote and primer to be paint ready. Original owner went all blue, we were going to shoot the top half of entire car in black..included is enough PPG paint to paint and clear the entire top black. Trunk, Roof, Hood, tops of doors…everything above upper chrome trim is what i consider top of car. There are a few spots on bottom that look like rust, but it is not. The original owner sprayed about 4 inches of bottom with a rock guard before painted that to match car color, however if any of you have sprayed this stuff sometimes it clumps up. Instead of fixing it at that time they painted over it. To be sure I was right I did scrape off a spot and revealed I was correct. Any local paint shop can match paint and give you a can of touch up to repair that spot and any other small scratches that may be here or there. Its not a show car but looks very good to the average person. Only a paint and body guy is going to pick it apart. WHEELS/TIRES The wheels and tires are used but in good shape. The tires don't go flat and have decent tread left. Rims have a few road rash spots but mother major. They are offset with spacers to fit properly. I think that about covers it. If you have questions feel free to email me and I can give you my number if you want to talk. I am very honest and want you to know what your getting so please call and question everything! I can type all day, talking is always a better way to explain detail on cars. If your local your welcome to come check it out. Im working on my house so I'm always home. Thank you all for looking and God Bless ya! |

A closer look at the 2015 Ford F-150
Thu, 16 Jan 2014Despite having to share Ford's Detroit Auto Show stand with the hot new 2015 Mustang, the brand-new F-150 was arguably an even more important debut. Why? Ford moved some 700,000 examples of its F-Series truck in 2012, making it not only the best-selling pickup truck, but the top-selling vehicle in the US, by a long-shot.
The 2015 F-150 raises the bar for pickup trucks in a big way, with big-time use of aluminum. Because of this, roughly 700 pounds have been removed from the truck's overall weight, making it even more efficient than before, while still offering all of the capability that pickup owners expect. And with a host of engines under the hood, including a new 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, the 2015 F-150 will surely offer something for everyone.
During the Detroit Auto Show, west coast editor Michael Harley took a closer look at the new F-150, talking to some of the truck's engineers. Have a look at the full video, below.
