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. |

2014 Ford Fusion order guide reveals new base Hybrid model, equipment changes
Tue, 23 Apr 2013We've gotten our grubby little digits on the dealer order guide for the as-yet-unreleased 2014 Ford Fusion thanks to an anonymous tipster, and while there isn't much that's unexpected, there are some meaningful equipment changes to report after the rakish sedan's first year on the market.
Mechanically, the big news is, of course, the recently confirmed availability of the 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder paired with a six-speed automatic. The powertrain replaces the 1.6-liter automatic setup of 2013, though if you want a manual transmission, you'll still get the extra .1-liter of displacement.
On the equipment front, there are newly available rear inflatable seatbelts - as seen previously on the Explorer - along with a new heated steering wheel and cooled seat option on Titanium and Titanium Hybrid models (the latter two options will be late availability).
Hot Wheels Ford Transit Connect is worth more if we keep it in the box
Wed, 06 Nov 2013If the 2014 Transit Connect is anything like it's utile current-generation predecessor, and we suspect it is, it will undoubtedly be one of the most functional vehicles in North America. Ford has used the occasion of SEMA to turn the TC in to things that both make use of that functionality, and occasionally sort of wreck it in the name of good old-fashioned fun. The Ford Hot Wheels Transit Connect most certainly falls into that second category.
Most TC owners might cite the vehicle's massive cargo capacity as its top positive trait, though in the case of this wide-bodied Transit said space has been sapped in the name of a 55-inch television screen, a massive Hot Wheels drag strip (continuing a popular theme at SEMA this year) and custom storage for dozens of models from one's personal hot wheels collection. Designers have also plucked the grippy Recaro seats from the Focus ST, and thrown in a pair of 18-inch tablet screens for connectivity on the go.
Naturally, the Transit Connect wouldn't be an appropriate SEMA vehicle, or Hot Wheels name-bearer, if it weren't wearing an eye-popping appearance package. Additional homage to the Focus RS can be found in the blazing blue and orange front fascia and bumpers, while 20-inch wheels make sure the wider (four-inches in front and six-inches in the back) Transit Connect sits just right. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder-engine that powers the Hot Wheels TC ensures that the concept is more show than go, but you probably had that pegged from your first look, anyway.
Ford celebrates 1 millionth Mustang built at Flat Rock
Thu, 18 Apr 2013Yesterday, the Ford Mustang turned 49 years old, and Ford didn't miss the opportunity to celebrate the one millionth version of the Mustang rolling off the assembly line at the Flat Rock Assembly plant. Production of the Mustang at Flat Rock coincided with the fifth-generation design launching in 2004, and the one millionth car was the car shown above, a 2014 GT convertible painted in Ruby Red.
In total, Ford has sold more than 8.5 million Mustangs since the original car went on sale, but some of the key milestones over the car's nine years at Flat Rock include the Shelby GT-H, Bullitt, Boss 302 and, of course, the 662-horsepower Shelby GT500. Scroll down for a press release celebrating Flat Rock's milestone Mustang.
