1979 Ford Thunderbird No Reserve As-is Runs And Drive Clear Title Car Is Stock on 2040-cars
Teaneck, New Jersey, United States
|
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. |

The big dune jump and the damage done
Mon, 20 May 2013The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.
European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year
Tue, Dec 16 2014There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
