Up for auction is a running 1979 Ford Thunderbird sold completely AS-IS. I'm an honest guy so I'll tell you guys exactly what is going on. My feedback is not over 400 and 100% without a reason... I purchased this car from a friend because I thought I was going to restore it and make it nice and shiny..life such has other plans, and just started a new job that will take all of my time. I tried to fit it in with my schedule but working 50+ hours a week and dealing with NJ traffic will leave me no time to work on this..at all.. it was a nice idea, but unfortunately not for me. Now for the details the car is a 302 V8 and runs drives, and shifts. My friend put a brand new battery in it that cost him a hundred bucks just to bring the car to me and is in the car at the present. The tires look decent. The headlights work as do the directional lamps and the light covers go up and down. The inside appears to be green leather and the driver part of the bench is torn. The horn works. The body is surprisingly dent free except the back bumper in which the previous owner backed into something and pushed it in on the driver side (see pictures). The engine runs smooth and starts up every time, and shifts with no loud clunks. The bad is that the odo stopped working around 5000 miles ago. It has 122k miles on the odo at the moment but the real mileage is closer to 127k. Unknown why it stopped working but my friend said one day he noticed it stopped and didn't want to rip open the dash. I don't blame him. Also A/C doesn't work. (Can you really be surprised)..

Now this is ebay and I'm sure some of you are saying I don't believe that but that is what he told me and he is a trust worthy guy. I know that isn't enough to gain anyone's trust so I have decided to just put the auction up with no reserve and just see what it sells for. Other than that it is missing the directional turn signal cover on the front driver side (signal still works), and the dome light inside the car is missing the cover. The ALT light is on the car, but it has always been on according to my friend and didn't affect performance, again if an expert knows what the deal is, bid accordingly. That is all i have looked out so far with the car. This is why it is being sold AS-IS. The car runs drives, and starts up every time. Please listen carefully to this part though. IF YOU REALLY WANT THIS. I MEAN REALLY REALLY REALLY want this, read this carefully and know that I am a busy busy busy man now with my new job. I do not have time to deal with people bailing on this auction. This will most likely sell for very very cheap, so know that this is most likely a PROJECT CAR, even though it runs and drives it is from 1979..KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING INTO. I wish I could have told myself this before buying it. You will have to invest time in this to make it looking like a show car. If you want a good running Ford Thunderbird and have an EYE for RESTORATION projects. This is a good start. There is very slight rust on the car, nothing debilitating.

Look at the pictures, do some soul searching, but please..PLEASE PLEASE...do not waste my time. I honestly don't care if it sells for 450 dollars.....at least know what you are getting into..

REMEMBER..AS-IS AS-IS... I REPEAT... AS...IS

Payment and Pickup.. A car that will sell this cheap, needs to be picked up, now im sure some t-bird owners out there really need the parts from this vehicle, but shipping this car will probably cost more than the car sells for, so please just pick it up. As far as the payment, I put a 75 dollar paypal deposit, the rest will be paid in cash. I really didn't want to put a paypal deposit but the fact there seems to be TONS of non paying buyers on the ebay motors world, it leaves me no option. A 75 dollar deposit is due in 24 hours of auction close.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.

2015 Ford Focus Sedan is fresh-faced and ready to defend its Most Popular crown

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

Ford has made an art of deeper-than-normal midlife updates since the 2010 Fusion, a strategy that has allowed it to keep models looking fresher in showrooms for longer without needing full redesigns. Instead of slight touchups to light fixtures, new paint colors and perhaps new wheel patterns, Ford has been digging deeper, with significant sheetmetal changes and very different front-end looks, along with an increased emphasis on new in-car technologies to keep models vibrant. Other automakers are following this trend, and Ford itself is continuing on the path with this new 2015 Focus Sedan.
There's a handsome new SE Sport Package that includes a firmer touring suspension, modest body kit and 17-inch wheels.
We first saw this sleek Aston Martin-like nose fitted to a Focus at the Geneva Motor Show last month, but Ford only showed the new look on the five-door hatchback - this is the first appearance of the sedan, which will bow at next week's New York Auto Show. The front end treatment is the same, with a new hood, new headlamps incorporating LED accents, a different grille shape and a completely revised lower fascia that does away with the 2014 model's controversial triangle-shaped corners and gaping intakes. The rear gets a new two-piece, laser-brazed trunk lid with new taillamps, but the overall look is quite similar to last year's car. In any case, the refreshed look brings the Focus sedan more in line with the design of Ford's other recently reworked cars, including the Fusion and Fiesta.
