Encino, California, United States
|
For Sale by Owner: 1965 FORD THUNDERBIRD (390 cid)
I bought this car 6 months ago for $3,000, Then spent another $1500 and two months of my time and energy to restore it. I purchased it from an older gentleman who bought it originally and owned it until 2009. He let it sit in his garage for a long time, until l came along and brought it back to life. Restoring has been going well, but now my job is relocating me and I need to move & own 3 other classics. This is a great project car for someone who wants to enjoy restoring a vehicle that runs good. Clean title. I have the rear fender skirts and original hub caps *(which are not in these pictures) located in the trunk It drives nice, needs exhaust gaskets, paint, carpet & some interior work.... Work I've done: Tune Up, Oil change, air filter, cap & rotor Rebuilt Carburetor Replaced Gas Tank Replaced Fuel Sending Unit Replaced Gas Nozzle tube Transmission serviced Fixed the wiring and dash lights, they light up really nice. Small fixes and straightened out a lot of misc details Detailed the engine compartment and used liquid dyes in the transmission and engine oils to trace & stop leaks I put about 2 months of work into this car to get it to run smooth and the next person can at least drive it or move it around while restoring it and not worry about jumping it and towing it. Battery keeps charge well. this car looks horrible without a paint job, but the body is completely straight. there are small normal surface rust areas above side rear molding *(see picture) this has always been a California vehicle. I prefer a local buyer who can come pick it up, but I am open to serious buyers elsewhere but BUYER PAYS FOR ALL SHIPPING/TRANSPORTATION COSTS. thank you for reading my page & good luck bidding. On Jun-09-14 at 20:54:38 PDT, seller added the following information: I added a few more detailed pictures of the front bumper & grill, the front driver's and passenger's floor boards and the trunk. A few updates: I replaced & installed a new master cylinder today. & I also bought an original Jack & tire iron and a tire - just needs spare rim. I'm going to keep working on it until someone buys it. The passenger floor board has a small hole *(size of a small pen) on the side, where I can see a spec of light. So there is a little rust but: When I had it up in the air & looked from underneath: it looks good but needs small patch work done on the passenger front side. Driver's side looks good, both sides has a little surface rust but does NOT need a total replacement of floor boards. The trunk is in nice condition & does NOT need rust repairing. Any surface rust on this entire vehicle is sandable and normal for this condition, which is really good for the way it has been preserved. I'm already into this car for twice what I listed it for, due to my need to sell it quickly >> I'm moving from a home to a townhouse... I have a 67 Continental convertible & 65 Impala and those cars are all I can handle right now.... Please message me for any other questions or you can call me at - 818 263 5570 Thanks On Jun-10-14 at 20:30:35 PDT, seller added the following information: After receiving more requests to upload pictures, I put the hub caps on and the rear fender skirts so everyone can see they are included and then took some more pictures so everyone can see how straight the body is. As I said I'm going to keep working on this vehicle until it sells. Thank you for the helpful tips and inquires, I hope this vehicle goes to someone who loves T-birds and finishes it the right way. |

Ford's Farley apologizes for saying Blue Oval tracks customers with GPS
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Ford marketing head honcho Jim Farley made waves at CES this week by telling show attendees, "We know everyone who breaks the law, we know when you're doing it." according to a report by Business Insider. Farley continued by saying, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone."
Farley has since amended his statement, saying that Ford dose not, in fact, track its customers in their cars "without their approval or consent."
Apparently carried away with a hypothetical notion, Farley was attempting to describe how Ford might be able to employee aggregated user data for things like accurate traffic reporting and pattern spotting. A Ford spokesperson confirmed with Business Insider that its GPS units are not sharing the whereabouts of drivers, though there are a few on-board services that might do so. After opting in to the services (and presumably being made aware of any/all tracking and data collection), Ford's Sync Services Directions and Crew Chief software do, in fact, allow data collection as a means of improving both systems. Farley added that the opt-in data is not shared, even when being tracked.
Jeremy Clarkson chooses his top 10 cars for 2015 and 2016
Mon, Aug 15 2016Jeremy Clarkson is well-known for his role as co-host on the old Top Gear. But the frontman of the upcoming Amazon Prime Show, The Grand Tour, also has a standing column for The Sunday Times in the UK where he reviews the latest cars. With fall nearing, Clarkson put out a list of his top-10 cars from this year and 2015. Some on the list will surprise you, while others represent everything we've come to love about Clarkson. In order to make his list of star cars, the vehicles must offer what co-host James May calls "the fizz." The vehicles, Clarkson claims, have something that is out of the ordinary. Whether it's the car's looks, the way it gets up to speed, or its high-tech gadgets, Clarkson's top-10 list is made up of items that are more than just tools for getting from point A to B. So which ones made the list? Head over to the column in The Sunday Times.

Toyota hangs on to title of world's largest automaker for first half of 2013
Fri, 26 Jul 2013General Motors and Ford can have all the success they please, but it doesn't seem like America's two largest manufacturers are going to topple Toyota in the first half of 2013. According to Reuters, Toyota moved 4.91 million vehicles in the first six months of 2013, representing a 1.1-percent drop from the same period in 2012.
GM is on the rise, though, with a four-percent increase in global sales, to 4.85 million. Volkswagen, still sitting in third, saw a 5.5-percent jump to 4.7 million vehicles in the first half of 2013.
If this pace continues for Toyota, it'll finish 2013 in the top sales spot for the second year in a row. The manufacturer fell to third, behind GM and VW, in 2011 after earthquakes and tsunamis ravaged its production capacity.
