1971 Ford Thunderbird Base Sedan 4-door 7.0l on 2040-cars
Midland, Texas, United States
|
Have a nice 1971 for Thunderbird for sale. Was planning on fixing it up and cruising it, but just don't have the time. Need the money to fix up my truck. Purchased it last summer at an estate sale in Nebraska. The owner was a retired mechanic that bought the car new and drove it until he couldn't drive anymore and the car was parked in the late 80's early 90's in a barn. There it sat for 20+ years. I purchased it and had it taken to a local shop where they rebuilt the carburetor and cleaned the fuel lines and tank. It started, ran, and drove from there to my parents house awaiting me to come pick it up. This was last fall. Now it cranks over, fires, but will not stay running for longer than 2 minutes. Not sure if it is a timing issue or vacuum leak. Might even be something else, but I don't have any experience with old car repair. While in Nebraska the old brake lines cracked and car will no longer hold brake fluid. It also has some rust behind the rear quarter panels, but overall the body is in good shape and solid. The interior is amazing!! It has the original 429 Thunderjet Big Block V8. The cousin to the Boss 429 and 429 Cobra Jet. Kaase Engines uses these blocks to make their Boss 429 Racing Engines. This TBird is loaded with options. Power Windows, Power Drivers Seat, Cruise Control (buttons on steering wheel), Automatic Climate Control, and many more. Most I didn't even know were available in 1971. $500 deposit and contact me to arrange pick up (payment) of car within 48 hours after auction end. Will need to have car picked up within 2 weeks of auction end. Car does not run and will need to be towed from Midland, Texas. I will release Title once the payment has posted to my account. I have clear Nebraska Title, Registration, and Insurance on the T-Bird. |

Ford Explorer gets appearance pack for 2015
Sat, 14 Jun 2014Remember when Ford launched the totally new Explorer in late 2010, and people were skeptical about how the now-crossover would fare, after ditching its traditional SUV roots? Well, we're several years in, and I think we can assuredly say that Ford made the right decision. Sales are better than ever (in fact, May was the current Explorer's best month yet), and the crossover is finding its way into the hands of a whole host of new Ford buyers.
A wholly refreshed Explorer is still forthcoming, but to keep its strong-selling crossover fresh, Ford is offering a host of improvements for the 2015 model year, including the attractive appearance package available on the XLT trim level, pictured above. Outside, the pack gets you goodies like 20-inch machined aluminum wheels, black bodyside cladding and roof rack rails. Contrasting Magnetic Metallic accents are found on the grille, mirror caps and liftgate appliqué, and there's an "Explorer" hood badge and body-colored door handles. Inside, there are new Miko suede inserts in the seats, and the package includes the automaker's Sync connectivity with MyFord Touch infotainment.
Elsewhere in the Explorer range, the Class III trailer tow pack is now standard on the Sport, base models get new 18-inch aluminum wheels, and there are three new colors on offer: Bronze Fire Metallic and Magnetic Metallic.
Cosworth double-feature is XCar's a drool-worthy look back
Wed, Jun 11 2014While American fans of Ford performance cars in the '80s and early '90s were loving the 5.0 Mustang, Taurus SHO and, for those who wanted to be a little different, the Merkur XR4Ti, British fans of the Blue Oval were getting their own unique take on speed. The Sierra RS Cosworth (which was similar but not identical to the aforementioned Merkur) and later Escort RS Cosworth were the stuff of dreams with huge wings, hood vents and big power for their time and class. XCar Films aims to find out whether it is little more than nostalgia that makes these classics famous or it really is their legitimate performance. Thanks to its Formula One and racing success, Cosworth was already a well-established performance name in the UK by the time it began selling tuned engines to Ford for the Sierra and Escort. The Sierra RS Cosworth hit the scene in 1986 with a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 204 horsepower and rear-wheel drive. Its huge wing at the back signaled it immediately as something special, and it proved to be a performance powerhouse on and off the track. When it was retired, Ford replaced it with the Escort RS Cosworth that used an upgraded version of the same engine with 217 hp, all-wheel drive and an even bigger rear wing to net yet more racing victories. XCar really gets into the spirit of the time, opening the video with the lo-fi grain of '80s and '90s TV, but to find out whether the Cossies stand up to modern scrutiny, you have to watch the video below. Stay tuned until the end to enjoy them at their best with some vintage motorsports footage. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

2015 Ford Mustang gets pricing, configurator and less weight than expected
Fri, 13 Jun 2014It's here; it's finally here. No more speculating or looking at dealer order guides, the configurator for the 2015 Ford Mustang is finally online. That means you should put down whatever you're doing and build your new 'Stang. Weight data for the new model has also leaked out, and while there is an increase, it's less than previously rumored.
The basic V6 coupe carries a base price of $23,600, plus an additional $825 destination charge for all models. Upgrading to the 2.3-liter Ecoboost costs $25,170, and the Ecoboost Premium is $29,170. If you need a V8 in your life, the Mustang GT is $32,100 or $36,100 with the Premium package. That puts the starting price up about $1,000 over the previous generation for the V6, but the turbocharged four-cylinder starts about $1,400 less than the V6 Premium, which is no longer available. Prices for both V8 models jumped about $1,000, as well.
If you need the convertible Mustang, the V6 starts at $29,100, excluding destination, $1,590 more than last year. The Ecoboost Premium 'vert is $34,670, and the GT droptop is $41,600.
