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

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, Renault, VW shareholder oppose French aid for PSA/Peugeot-Citro"en

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

Pots and kettles, glass houses and stones - that's a little of what we appear to have going on in the European car market. New reports say that that three European automakers have registered their opposition to a loan deal that PSA/Peugeot-Citroën is working on with the French government. Peugeot's finance arm, Banque PSA Finance, is struggling with its debts and has been downgraded by Moody's to its lowest investment-grade classification, one step above junk. This makes it more expensive for a potential buyer to finance a car through Peugeot. The last thing Peugeot needs is more difficulty selling cars in the tough European market, and the situation will only worsen if the bank's credit worthiness takes another hit.
A deal being worked on would have the French government offer €7 billion ($9B U.S.) in bonds to guarantee the bank's loans, which would give the institution some breathing room to manage its debts and lower its interest rates. Outside of that, a group of banks would provide other, non-guaranteed loans to the bank to further help its position. In exchange for state help, though, the government wants seats on Peugeot's board for worker representatives and a government liaison, along with factory and worker guarantees. The Peugeot family would maintain control of the company.
So what we have is government assistance being provided to a car company's finance arm, akin to the way General Motors' GMAC (now Ally Financial) and Chrysler Financial got help in their time of need. What we also have is Ford and Renault, and Germany's State of Lower Saxony, the second-largest shareholder in Volkswagen, voicing their concern about the proposal, because they say it could create an unfair competitive advantage for Peugeot. Everyone in Europe's down market is fighting for every sale, and if Peugeot gets help to keep its auto loan costs down, it figures to help buyers choose Peugeot or Citroën.
