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's Mulally makes shortlist for Microsoft CEO
Fri, 08 Nov 2013Ford CEO Alan Mulally has made the short list to take over tech giant Microsoft, lending further credence to rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would ditch Dearborn and move to Redmond.
The report comes from Reuters, which claims that alongside Mulally, former Nokia CEO Stephen Elop and three candidates from within Microsoft are on the short list to succeed Steve Ballmer at the company's helm, although previous reports claim the Ford exec is the number one candidate. Mulally is currently working without a contract, although Bill Ford seems to believe that he isn't likely to depart. Despite this belief, Ford was quoted just last month talking about the depth of talent on the Blue Oval's executive team.
"There is no change from what we announced last November. Alan remains fully focused on continuing to make progress on our One Ford plan. We do not engage in speculation," said Ford spokesman Jay Cooney.
FBI Seizes Computers, Listening Devices From Ford Headquarters
Fri, Jul 25 2014FBI agents searched Ford Motor Company's headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan, this month as part of an investigation into possible corporate espionage. Eight devices, along with documents, computers and financial records, were among the items seized by federal agents on July 11, according to documents obtained by The Detroit News. The FBI searched Leach's home on June 20 and seized more than two dozen items in that search, Reuters reported. Former engineer Sharon Leach, a 17-year Ford veteran of company, was fired last month, according to The News, which first reported the story. She admitted to placing recording devices under conference tables before meetings. She told Ford security she used the recordings to assist in her meeting notes. She couldn't remove the devices after meetings without drawing attention to herself, leaving the devices to record other meetings. Leach has not been charged for any wrongdoing. Former federal prosecutor and Wayne State University law professor Peter Henning told The News that using a search warrant, rather than a subpoena, shows the FBI suspects more employees could be implicated. "If it's an economic espionage case or trade-secrets case, that rarely involves one individual," Henning told The Detroit News. "So the concern is if you send a subpoena and ask for recording devices, those things can be erased." Leach, Ford and the FBI declined to comment on the investigation.

Shelby boosts production of 575-hp Raptor on early demand
Mon, 08 Apr 2013Shelby American unveiled its all-new Shelby Raptor at the New York Auto Show last month, saying that it would build just 100 examples of its off-road bad boy, a pickup priced at $17,995 over the cost of the donor Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. But the Las Vegas outfit apparently underestimated just how popular the supercharged 575-horsepower 4x4 would actually be.
Strong early demand reportedly has Shelby singing a whole new tune, as the company is now saying it will build upwards of 500 units annually. While the increased production will likely make for at least 400 more happy owners, those who were on the original short list - possibly speculating on future values - might not be grinning as much. Needless to say, the company has assured everyone that each and every one of the modified Raptors will still be listed in the official Shelby registry.
Keep in mind that Ford isn't sitting idle on its trophy-truck-for-the-street, either. The company will reveal its own 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition this month.
