1959 Ford Thunderbird 430 Coupe. This is a very clean, almost rust free, 430 Coupe. I have a clear, original, Utah Title, in my name. This Thunderbird was purchased by the previous owner for restoration. His plans changed and he decided to sell the car. The 430 Thunderbird Coupe is a relatively rare Thunderbird. Only around 1500 1959 Thunderbirds came from the factory with the 430 Lincoln Engine. Ford got into NASCAR during this time period, and used the 430 Thunderbird as Ford first stock car racer. In 1959, when Motor Trend Magazine picked their first "Car of the Year," the 1959 Ford Thinderbird 430 was selected. It is the very first Motor Trend Car of the Year. All "Squarebirds" have become very popular, but the 430 cars are growing in value. This car is clearly identified as a "J" car on the VIN and Title. It is not a clone. Please look closely at all of the photos. The floors are dry and rust free, the trunk is in excellent condition, and the doors, hood, and truck align properly. All the glass is good. The interior is in very good condition. The passenger's side door panel is in the trunk. The reserve on the car is very low.

I want to be sure the new owner knows exactly what they are getting. With this in mind, I will list the negative aspects of the car in detail. 1. The 430 Engine and C6 transmission come with the car, but are currently not in the car. (I don't think the 430 engine is the car's original motor, but there is no way to tell. The title and VIN numbers show that the car is a factory original 430 car.) 2. There are some minor missing trim pieces. These parts are readily available in several aftermarket catalogs. 3. The headliner has seam splits. 4. On the passenger's side front, lower, fender there is some rust showing. it is not serious, but it will need to be addressed.

A $500. PayPal deposit is required within 48 hours of the auction closing, unless other arrangements have been made. If you have less than 5 positive feedbacks in your Ebay feedback score, please, email/message or give me a call. I want this to be a good, straightforward, auction. No scams, etc. My phone number is (801) 745-5835. Please look at my Ebay feedback. I highly value my 100% positive feedback from almost 700 different people. I'm not a dealer. I just love old cars and this Thunderbird is one too many.

Galpin Ford GTR1 supercar debuts in Monterey

Fri, 16 Aug 2013

Galpin Auto Sports has finally taken the wraps off the car we first previewed back in December, the Galpin Ford GTR1. A few weeks ago, we posted the first hints of just what the GTR1 would be capable of, with Galpin teasing that its 5.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 would produce in excess of 1000 horsepower, with a top speed of 225 miles per hour. Package all that in a coachbuilt body, and you have the recipe for one wicked supercar.
The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000.
Now, we have all the glorious details. Galpin is targeting a production run of six cars, but if interest is strong enough, will expand its initial quote to 24 vehicles. The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000. Opting for the aluminum bodywork could lower that, although it's not immediately clear by how much.

Shelby GT500 laps N"urburgring in under 7:40?

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

A couple of weeks ago we brought you footage and official times of the new Chevy Camaro Z/28 lapping the Nürburgring. With a 7:37.47 lap time, the Z/28 emerged as the fastest muscle car ever to lap the circuit. But what was missing from that picture was how fast the king of all Mustangs, the Shelby GT500, could manage to lap the Nordschleife.
Ford never released any information or footage of the GT500 on the Nürburgring that we were aware of - that is, until the guys at SVTPerformance.com put in a request for Mustang videos. Among the clips they received was never-seen, in-car footage of the Shelby GT500 lapping the circuit. And boy did it hustle.
Although not quite official, the video seems to show the GT500 lapped the venerated German track in a touch under 7:40. That would make it a tick or two faster than the Camaro ZL1 - but what of the Z/28? By Chevy's quoted time, the Z/28 is still faster than the GT500, but SVTPerformance suggests GM may have fudged the numbers a bit and scrubbed half a second or so off their lap time.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
