1958 Thunderbird. Originally white with black leather interior. Came from the factory with a 352, automatic, a/c

The car was completely restored and rebuilt by the second owner from 1992 until 1995. He restored it for his wife, and did an excellent job. All new paint, welded in panels to repair rust behind wheel wells, removed some trim, new upholstery on front seats, all new painless wiring, new 390 engine, new c6 trans, rebuilt 9" rear end w 3:00 gears, front disc brakes, all new tinted glass, weatherstripping, and on and on.

Then his wife passed away and the car was parked in about 1996 after doing well in a few local car shows. She had only driven it 4000 miles since he finished the restoration. RJ then parked it on the side of his house with a car cover and a tarp over it. That is where I found it in 2010. I have gone through the car and fixed many of the things that sitting over that time caused, as well as make some changes to fit my style better.

Paint is in good to very good condition for being close to 20 years old, no bondo anywhere. I repainted the roof to match the rest of the car. There was damage on it when I purchased it, from the car cover. There are some minor dings here and there, but not noticeable without close inspection. The clear coat is starting to go south.(there are very small bubbles starting to appear in places, not visible to camera shots) Therefore, I would call the paint driver quality. Vehicle is 99% rust free. There is a small spot under the car on the pass floor board that could use a patch, but it is very minor.

Factory equipped with Power steering(completely rebuilt), Power Brakes (completely rebuilt and as good as the brakes on a 58 bird can be), and AC. The AC is not hooked up currently. The blower motor and ac controls are functional. The cost is about 800.00 in parts to get the AC up and running.

Black and White Interior has been replaced and is in excellent condition. The front and rear seat upholstery is new black vinyl with new oe style padding from Thunderbird Headquarters. Drivers power seat works, passenger power seat is inop.

Carpet is new, door panels are new, headliner is original with no tears. Dash pad has a replacement cover over it that looks great. One sun visor is nice, one needs to be replaced. Interior trim is nice. Has some pitting, some pieces are really clean, and some are driver quality.

Motor(390) and trans(C6) have about 6000 miles on them. They were rebuilt in 1994. They have all new fluids, and operate perfectly.

Motor has Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock carb, Mallory dist, 8mm wires, flowmaster mufflers with cross pipe. Car has a fresh tune up within the last year. Also has an upgraded fan with fan clutch, dual overflow tanks and an electric fan. The car stays very cool.

Engine compartment is detailed, silver painted fenderwells. This was done when the car was rebuilt in 1994 ish. Could use some paint touchup, isnt perfect, but still looks very nice.

All new painless wiring in 1994, all electronics work. Windows, switches, dash, etc. Clock is inop.

Chrome was redone in 1994( bumpers, grills, trim, etc). It is in very good condition. There are some small bubbles/pitting, but looks very nice. There are some surface rust areas on the chrome in spots under the car, not visible from normal view.

All of the glass was new in 1994. It is all tinted glass, except for the windshield. The glass is all in great shape. The windshield has some scratches in it, but it does not effect the field of view.

All of the lenses were replaced in 1994 and are still in great shape.

New gas tank and sender in 2010, fuel gauge works and is accurate.

All power windows work. The front two are great, have new now motors. The back two have all new rollers, and motors, but the rear windows are one of those things that will always have issues. Use em and they will break, dont use em and they will break. They need to have brass rollers installed, but the guy that made em stopped, and I havent been able to find more. The rear windows don't line up perfectly, but great for a 55 year old car.

Has Custom Auto Sound deck in factory dash, works well. Speaker is in the center console. This radio looks like a factory radio, but works like a newer one. I also have the original factory radio.

KYB shocks. Suspension has been rebuilt both in 1994 and in 2010 and is in excellent condition. Runs smoothly down the road

Battery relocated to trunk.

Trunk has been nicely upholstered. No rust in trunk pan.

17x8, 17x9.5 Stockton wheels, powdercoated black, with smoothie Ford caps

New Nitto tires

This vehicle operates flawlessly and is ready to cruise cross country, be a daily driver, or be a weekend cruiser( like it was for me)

I have done my best to be very open and honest in my evaluation of the car. Please feel free to call, and come out and see it.

Please email with any questions or call me at 760-644-5254

Volkswagen Golf, Ford F-150 named 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Congratulations, Volkswagen Golf/GTI and Ford F-150. You've just been named the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year, kicking off the first press day of the Detroit Auto Show. The Golf faced some seriously stiff competition from its runners-up, the Ford Mustang and Hyundai Genesis. But the Golf has been a highly awarded vehicle since its launch, including recently being named Motor Trend's Car of the Year. As for the Truck/Utility award, it wasn't immediately clear that the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 would win the North American honor, topping the Chevrolet Colorado and Lincoln MKC. The Chevy, after all, has been widely praised since arriving this fall, including taking home MT's Truck of the Year award. In 2014, Chevrolet had a sweep of the NACTOY awards, with the Corvette Stingray and Silverado taking top honors. Here's a look at the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year voting breakdown. As you can see, it wasn't exactly neck and neck. Car of the Year Volkswagen Golf/GTI – 256 points Ford Mustang Â– 204 points Hyundai Genesis Â– 110 points Truck/Utility of the Year Ford F-150 Â– 297 points Chevrolet Colorado Â– 205 points Lincoln MKC Â– 68 points The winners were determined by the votes of 57 North American jurors who work in all forms of media Â– magazine, newspaper, television, online and radio, and their ballots were tabulated in secret by accounting firm Deloitte & Touche. Autoblog editors Sharon Carty and Chris Paukert are members of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year jury.

2015 Ford Mustang to offer solid-rear axle, sort of

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.
