Reluctantly putting this car up for sale.  


 I recently bought it to use as my daily driver here in S. Florida ( which I am doing currently and enjoy driving it everyday ), however our accountant gave us the bad news and we owe way more in taxes than my wife or I anticpated , plus we have a car undergoing restoration that we have to finish paying off.    We are trying to get the funds other ways as well, and if we do, we will pull this car off of Ebay and I will continue to drive it.

1959 Thunderbird - typical T/bird - auto, no a/c, ps/ pb, radio.  Not an unusual or rare model, but still a nice car.  Pretty decent Florida car with a clear title. Runs and drives very well for a 54 year old car.  Recently tuned up, new gas tank/fuel pump.  It is a 10 footer.  Needs interior work ( door panels especially - seats are good, as is headliner ) and some trim bits here and there.  Nothing that isn't readily available.  There are a couple of rust bubbles coming up on the body ( shown in the photos - on the trunk lid and hood ), but the rest of the car seems fine.  It was repainted at some point in the past ( don't know when ) and is a brighter white than the Wimbledon White is supposed to be .    If you want a perfect car, then you will have to buy a high dollar restored show car.  If you want a nice car to drive and improve or restore as you enjoy it - this is the car.

Solid floors and trunk - photos of trunk show just surface rust from weatherstrip water leaks but the floor is solid = as is the car floor.  Seatbelts were also just installed in the car last week.

As this is a 54 year old used car, there are no warranties what so ever and it is being sold as/is, where is.

Located in S. Florida - email if you want more photos or photos of something not shown.  Also email if you want to see and inspect or drive the car

Passenger side door window has a crack in it.  I have ordered a replacement and will change it out ( I was going to anyway)

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads

Sun, May 31 2015

Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.

Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
