Up for auction is my 65 T-Bird convertible, whice I owned for the last 25 plus years. Drove it to meets all around the NE, and to most local shows. Great road car, drives, and handles like an expensive new car. This Thunderbird has the original leather black seats, in good condition. Car has been repainted about 10 years ago, and in good, to fair condition. Has some minor scratchs, but no dents, nor rot. Bumpers are all original, with original chrome, no dents, or missing parts. All the rest of chrome is all in good condition. Has power windows, all working. Has a "swing away " streering wheel, allowing driver to enter, exit car easy. The convertible top is original, with no tears, etc. One pad for the top, whice is located inside of the car has a portion missing, but dose not hinder the woking of the top. The top is in working condition, all relays work, same for hyd cylinders. I replaced some of the hyd hoses, and did replace the top motor. Also, replaced the limit switch. I added a "tunic top", that covers the back seat, as seen in the picture. Has the 390 engine, with auto-trans. Since I had the car, I replaced the lifters, oil pump, water pump, and had tune ups done. Has new white wall tires. Has the original hub caps in good condition. The radio was replaced by preivous owner with a am/fm type. Same for the ant. This Thunderbird is a good example of a convertible, that will allow you to drive, and if it's your desire to do a restoration, you can drive it also. I did also add a passenger side Thunderbird mirror, whice I forgot to memtion. I'm selling off some of my cars due to age, and health, and this is the first being offered. Along with the car, go's all the parts that I aqquired over the time I had this car, as well as the used parts replaced. Will also add the repair manual. Please look over the pictures, and do ask questions before bidding. Good luck, and thanks for looking.

Detroit 3 and UAW could create healthcare pool
Thu, Sep 3 2015Healthcare costs continue to multiply in the US with no clear end in sight, but the United Auto Workers and the Big Three are negotiating a way to rapid growth under control. As part of the latest contract talks, the union has an idea to create a healthcare pool across all of its members at Ford, General Motors, and FCA US. If accepted, the company-wide integration would spread out the expenses and create a massive member base for bargaining with insurance companies. Both Ford and GM are at least considering the proposal, according to The Detroit News, and FCA US might be on board, as well. The idea is the work of current UAW president Dennis Williams and is based on the similar pool for the Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association for retirees. "I've walked through this several ways; I just don't have any other answer," Williams said to The Detroit News. "I do believe this will work. It's worked with the VEBA." Williams was elected UAW president last year and won by an overwhelming margin. He vowed no more concessions to automakers. In addition to healthcare, the two-tier wage system is another major talking point in the contract negotiation because it gives fewer benefits to entry-level workers. Higher wages are also a request. Healthcare costs are a massive expense for automakers and are expected to reach over $2 billion this year, according to The Detroit News. The payments are up nearly 50 percent or more in just the last four years.
Ford worker files for UAW dues refund, stirs right-to-work debate
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Let's start with some history: Ford's Dearborn truck plant, part of the company's massive River Rouge complex, was the center of a strike in 1941 that led to Ford signing the first "closed shop" agreement in the industry. The agreement obliged every worker at the plant to be a dues-paying member of the United Auto Workers. In December 2012, however, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation making Michigan a right-to-work state, which outlawed closed shops. The new law gave workers the right to opt out of union membership and stop paying dues even if they were still covered by union activities like collective bargaining. For employees at the Dearborn plant, the right-to-work clauses take effect at the end of their current contract in 2015.
As a tool-and-die maker at Ford's Dearborn plant for 16 years, Todd Lemire pays dues to the UAW - about two hours' salary per month. However, he's been unhappy with the UAW's support of the Democratic party, and not wanting to wait until next year to be out of the UAW entirely he invoked his Beck Rights, which state that a non-member of a union does not have to pay dues to support non-core activities, such as political spending. But Lemire wasn't happy that Ford still subtracted the total amount of dues, with the UAW reimbursing the difference, so he filed suit with the National Labor Relations Board, feeling that the workaround violates his rights.
Lemire's case is just a week old, so it could be a while before a resolution. Yet, as September 15, 2015 draws near and the right-to-work laws take full effect for Michigan workers - and others wonder whether it could help revitalize the state's manufacturing base - a case like this adds more fuel to the discussion.
