1973 Ford Thunderbird

    I have enjoyed this car for the last 3 years but I've lost my storage space. I have way to many projects and not enough time to do right by this car anytime in the foreseeable future. The story I was told when I bought this car was it was originally purchased by an older couple in Portland, OR. It was the wifes car, sometime later the husband died and the lady started driving his car which was smaller and the thunderbird sat in the garage. When the lady died, the car passed to either to the guy I bought it from or he purchased it from the family. I don't remember how that worked.  Anyway, his kid was driving the car to school but wanted something different at which time it was sold to me.

    Driving this car, it is everything you would expect from a luxury car of this era, smooth, quiet, powerful, with the floating on a cloud ride. This car has all the power accessories, power steering, power front disc/rear drum brakes, power windows, power seats, power door locks, factory AM/FM stereo radio, electric trunk release, and electric rear window defroster. The right rear window operates slow, and the radio has very poor reception on FM it may need a new antenna. The leather seats and the carpet are in clean and in excellent condition. In the trunk, the spare tire, tire cover, jack, and all liner panels and carpet are clean, present and in good condition. The body is in very good condition with no dents, the paint is lightly oxidized but will shine with minimal effort. The factory pinstripes are getting thin in spots. All the chrome and trim pieces are present and in good condition. The vinyl top should be replaced, it is dried out and starting to crack in the bottom of the "leather" grain. The 460 engine runs like a top, and automatic transmission shifts as it should. I replaced the carburetor with a new Holley carb, the original ford carb will be included in the sale if you want it. I also have a reprinted set of factory shop manuals that will be included.

    I have tried to list all the thunderbirds good and bad points as honestly as I could. That being said, this is a 40 year old car and it is sold in as is condition with no warrantee of any kind. I have clear Washington title in my name in hand, The car has WA "collector car" license plates which are transferable to WA residents and never expire.

    At the close of this auction, I require a $250.00 deposit via PayPal within 48 hours, with the balance due within 10 days of the end of the auction. Final payment to be in cash or certified funds. The car will not be released until any checks clear the bank. I will work with you, or your shipper if you can't pickup the car in person, but any and all shipping charges are the responsibility of the purchaser.

Ford, Renault, VW shareholder oppose French aid for PSA/Peugeot-Citro"en

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

Pots and kettles, glass houses and stones - that's a little of what we appear to have going on in the European car market. New reports say that that three European automakers have registered their opposition to a loan deal that PSA/Peugeot-Citroën is working on with the French government. Peugeot's finance arm, Banque PSA Finance, is struggling with its debts and has been downgraded by Moody's to its lowest investment-grade classification, one step above junk. This makes it more expensive for a potential buyer to finance a car through Peugeot. The last thing Peugeot needs is more difficulty selling cars in the tough European market, and the situation will only worsen if the bank's credit worthiness takes another hit.
A deal being worked on would have the French government offer €7 billion ($9B U.S.) in bonds to guarantee the bank's loans, which would give the institution some breathing room to manage its debts and lower its interest rates. Outside of that, a group of banks would provide other, non-guaranteed loans to the bank to further help its position. In exchange for state help, though, the government wants seats on Peugeot's board for worker representatives and a government liaison, along with factory and worker guarantees. The Peugeot family would maintain control of the company.
So what we have is government assistance being provided to a car company's finance arm, akin to the way General Motors' GMAC (now Ally Financial) and Chrysler Financial got help in their time of need. What we also have is Ford and Renault, and Germany's State of Lower Saxony, the second-largest shareholder in Volkswagen, voicing their concern about the proposal, because they say it could create an unfair competitive advantage for Peugeot. Everyone in Europe's down market is fighting for every sale, and if Peugeot gets help to keep its auto loan costs down, it figures to help buyers choose Peugeot or Citroën.

Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.
