1959 Ford Thunderbird 430 Coupe. This is an original, rust free, Thunderbird with the original factory 430 Lincoln engine. It is a California Black Plate car, and I have the original California "Pink Slip" title which has been signed by the original owner. The original owner kept all of the repair receipts since the car was new.
I purchased the car two months ago. I wanted the 430 engine for the restoration of my "J Code" convertible. Since then, I found a 430 engine and I don't want to part out this original, complete "J Code" coupe. It is a unique original 1959 Thunderbird that is rust free and complete. When I got the car home, I changed the oil, disconnected the fuel pump so I wouldn't suck old gas into the fuel pump, charged the battery, and it started right up. The original engine sounds very good and should perform well. The previous owner took good car of the car, until they became too old to drive. They let it sit for almost ten years in their California garage. The original color according to the paint code letter "N" on the car is "Starlight Blue." I highly value my 100% positive feedback on Ebay and I want the new owner to know exactly what they are getting. With this in mind, I will list the negative aspects of the car in detail. Keep in mind, this is a completely original Thunderbird. 1. The interior is complete, but is tattered. The front seat is very tattered. It is a power seat and the side seat panel is missing. Please look closely at the photos. I took the front seat out, but it comes with the car. I took a photo of the dry floors with the seat out. 2. I have not driven the car since I bought it. I got the engine running, but I have not cleaned the gas tank or put it in gear. The original owner advised me that it runs good and both the engine and transmission have been rebuilt. (There are receipts to confirm this, but they are several years old.) 3. The car was repainted the, original color, several years ago. There was a minor dent repaired on the driver's door and the paint is chipping off. I took a close up photo of this issue. 4. There is a small dent in the front bumper. As far as I can determine, these are the problems. Again, please look closely at all of the photos. There were very few 430 Thunderbirds manufactured, and very few are left. If you want an easy restoration project of a rare, unique, Thunderbird, this is an ideal candidate. If I didn't have a 430 Convertible, I would keep this car, but I need the funds to continue my project. If you have less than 5 positive feedbacks in your Ebay feedback score, please email or give me a call before bidding. My phone number is (801) 745-5835. I will gladly answer any questions you have regarding the condition of the car. I want this to be a solid, straightforward, auction. A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction closing - unless other arrangements are made. Thanks for looking, and I hope the old Thunderbird finds a good home. On May-01-14 at 09:58:42 PDT, seller added the following information: In response to an Ebay member's questions, It has the original keys and, with the ignition switch turned on, the motor starts and the power windows work properly. I have disconnected the fuel line to the gas tank just in case there is bad gas in the tank, but the car runs and starts as it should. |

Ford F-150 King Ranch celebrates 'history and authenticity' for 2015 [w/video]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014What's life like on an authentic Texas ranch? We honestly have no idea, having never lived on such a ranch, but we imagine it requires lots of hard work, grit and determination to keep all 825,000 acres - that's larger than the state of Rhode Island - of the King Ranch in Texas under control. Indeed, a total of 350 vehicles, all of which come from Ford, we're told, are currently in use by the ranch. No wonder, then, that the collaboration between Ford and King Ranch has lasted for 15 successful years.
For 2015, in celebration of that 15th anniversary, Ford is debuting three new King Ranch models today at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The most significant is the 2015 F-150 King Ranch, which, naturally, will add unique interior and exterior bits and pieces to the new aluminum-intensive F-Series pickup. Color choices will consist of Caribou, Bronze Fire, Guard and Ruby Red Metallic Clearcoat, with a range of two-tones to go along with a monochromatic scheme in Caribou. Inside, a bespoke King Ranch interior will be swathed in Premium Mesa Brown leather.
Joining the F-150 King Ranch on dealership floors later this year will be 2015 King Ranch editions of the Super Duty pickup and Expedition fullsize SUV, all of which will offer similar levels of content. Scroll down for more details and two videos from Ford, and be sure to check out the high-res image gallery above, which was shot by the official State Photographer of Texas, Wyman Meinzer.
Fallon picks Ford F-150 King Ranch, launches dealership contest
Tue, 01 Apr 2014New truck! Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show has been searching for the perfect new truck for a few weeks now, soliciting help from all corners in the process. Last night, Fallon made the announcement that the Ford F-150 King Ranch - in all of its cowboy glory - had been picked as his big winner.
To add some more spice to a storyline that now dips deeply into the realm of the advertorial, Fallon also announced a contest to see which Ford dealership would get the privilege of selling him the King Ranch. Dubbed "Fingers on a 4x4" The Tonight Show has invited 10 dealer reps from around the country to keep their hands on Jimmy's F-150 for as long as possible. Last salesperson standing wins.
Watch Fallon make his pick and introduce the dealer reps below, and be sure to click on the second video for a live-streaming feed of Fingers on a 4x4 in action (the contest seems to be going strong).
Americans will get a four-cylinder Ford Mustang after all? [w/poll]
Sat, 09 Mar 2013Ask and you shall receive. Remember that previous report suggesting that the 2015 Ford Mustang getting a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, and that it would be sold in Europe only and not the United States? Well, according to Road & Track, the rumor is only partially true - The Mustang will get the engine, but it is indeed coming to America.
Additionally, according to RT, the 3.7-liter V6 will continue to serve as the base engine, and since it offers up a stout 305 horsepower in its current form, it's likely that the 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost will produce a bit more than that. At the top of the range, the Mustang GT will continue to soldier on with a V8 engine, which should continue to send over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels.
Finally, while we agree 100 percent with RT's heartfelt request for a paddle-shift automatic, we certainly expect that the EcoBoost 'Stang will be offered with a manual transmission as standard equipment. This is a Mustang, after all...
