***Listing update *** This may be really good news for someone. It wasn't so good for me. True story. I was touring around this weekend as i really had not had the car out at all this year and wanted to make sure all was to be expected, well it turns out it wasn't. The car ran fine, i actually had a good time driving it around. However, after i moved it back in the garage i noticed some transmission fluid had been leaking. I brought the car in to my mechanic Monday. While we had it on the lift we determined it seemed to be coming from the seal in the shifter. I took it over to the a highly reputable transmission repair shop in our area. Although it was the transmission, I was hoping it would not be any real problems. Well they checked it out today and informed me the transmission should be rebuilt. They quoted me a cost for them to rebuild it, using all Ford OEM parts, of 2500 plus tax. This really isn't work i want to take on and instead would rather pass along a potential great deal to someone else. Therefore, after much interest in the car, i am dropping the BIN price by 5,000, that's twice the cost of repair!!. So if you were interested, perhaps this a great opportunity for you. I am happy to organize the shop work to be done for you and you could pay them direct. Or you could buy it as is and arrange your own repair or do the work yourself. Anyway, not a real good day for me. It was likely this would need to be done at some point in this car's future so for some future owner it's better it happened now. Thanks for your interest please feel free to ask any additional questions. **** This Thunderbird is really an awesome car from a fantastic period of American autos. Best of all, this is a driver that you will be proud to be seen cruising around. And you will be seen. No matter where you live this will be a one of kind attention getter. Be prepared for compliments. This gorgeous convertible t-bird is in really good condition, but it is not a showroom vehicle, but it's also a third the price and ready to roll. Everything is original and if desired, would make a great car to fully restore to showroom, but really, the true value of this car is it one you can get out on the road and enjoy. The white on red interior was highly desired and in short supply. There are not many with this beautiful combination. The majority of these were delivered with black interior and when your cruising, top down, in the sun, black is not what you want. You absolutely want the white interior. The upholstery is in just good condition. It is bright and clean but It shows wear. The driver seat has a 6 inch split in the seat and a smaller one on the side. The red carpet is in good shape but there is a small wear spot on the passenger floor about the 3 inches in diameter. It's not a hole or rip but just a bare spot. The mechanics are all sound, it runs well. The body is in excellent condition, there's no rust or dents. It is the original paint and it still has a high shine, there are however several chips and dings and just small spots of missing paint that have all been touched up. Most notable is a series of door dings that have been touched up. It has been this way since the 80's when I believed the older gal that owned it would open the door into some pole or some object in the garage. They don't stand out, you have to look for them. But they are there. The tonneau cover makes this Thunderbird convertible extra special. It makes it a sleek two seater and a great ride for date night. This was a factory delivered extra that are very rare. Very few Tbirds came this way Today they sell separately for anywhere form 3 to 5 grand. It is in good condition, it is made from fiberglass, chrome and padded vinyl. It does have scratches and nicks that have been touched up. It is easily put on and taken off and it can be left on when the roof is up, however the securing screws should be in place as I believe that the scratches were caused by the roof when it was not properly bolted in place. This car came with all the extra's, power windows, power steering and air conditioning which unfortunately is not working, but hey it's a convertible. It also has the signature sliding steering wheel that makes it fun and easy to get in and out. The luggage rack on the back trunk is a real pleasing design extra. The white convertible top is good condition and the plastic window is crystal clear. It is also fully automatic! The trunk lifts and the top retracts and stows away inside with just the touch of a button. Ford really designed this well for the Thunderbird. It is by far one of the best designs for a fully automatic retracting top on any convertible on the road. All in all, for 50 years old this is a great automobile, although its not perfect it will be one you will be very fond to drive. You're family and friends will simply love to ride in it. Especially, when you have your local oldies station tuned in to the original am radio with front and rear speakers which provide great ambiance even with the top down. This Thunderbird is priced to sell and with tonneau cover included is a great value. It is projected to not only hold its value but increase over time, and with literally all parts for this car still easily available and reasonably priced from vendors such as tbheadquarters.com you can continue to maintain and enhance this car over time.

2017-19 Ford Super Duty trucks recalled for tailgates that could open
Fri, Dec 6 2019Ford announced two separate recalls today, though neither has resulted in any known injuries. The first recall, which deals with a tailgate malfunction, affects 261,617 examples of 2017-2019 F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty pickups. The second, which anticipates the possibility of a fuel leak, affects 3,893 units of 2020 Explorer and 2020 Lincoln Aviator SUVs with 3.0-liter engines. Ford says tailgates might accidentally open on some 2017-2019 Super Duty trucks because of a short circuit. If the pickups have an electric tailgate latch-release switch on the tailgate handle, water might get into the wiring. If the water hits the right spots, a short circuit could cause the switch to release the tailgate latch. In a worst-case scenario where the tailgate opens while driving, contents of the truck's bed could fall out and create a safety hazard. Dealerships will fix the problem by modifying the tailgate frame wiring harnesses with jumper pigtails and install a new tailgate handle release switch. Of the lot, 231,664 trucks are in the U.S., and 29,953 are in Canada. The Ford recall number is 19S48. The second recall is much smaller, involving fewer than 4,000 vehicles. In certain 2020 Explorers and Aviators with 3.0-liter engines, Ford says, "The convolute protective sleeve on the liquid fuel line is not long enough, which may allow for potential hard contact with the convolute-protected vapor fuel line. Over time, with vibration and engine roll, hard contact between the two fuel lines could cause the convolute on the vapor fuel line to rub through the plastic liquid fuel line." If that happens, it could be a fire risk and hazardous for drivers and passengers. Only 35 of those SUVs are in Canada, and the rest are in the United States. Dealers will fix the problem by replacing the defective convolute with a full-length piece and tying it down with a strap. The recall reference number for the Aviators and Explorers is 19S49. The recall adds to what has otherwise been a rocky early production phase for the new Explorers and Aviators.
Ford auctioning off F-35-themed 2015 Mustang for charity
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Ford's been a supporter of EAA AirVenture, a huge, annual air show held in Oshkosh, WI, for several years now, with one of its most notable contributions being a modified Ford Mustang, designed to look like one of America's great fighting aircraft. There was an SR-71 Mustang, based on the legendary spy plane, a Red Tails edition, which honored the ground-breaking Tuskegee Airmen of World War II, as well as Blue Angels and Thunderbird Mustangs, based on America's two great military aerial demonstration teams.
Each car is auctioned off, with all proceeds going to the EAA Young Eagles program, which introduces kids to the joy of flight. For the 2014 AirVenture, which runs from July 28 to August 3, the one-off pony car is based on the new-for-2015 Mustang, and America's latest fighting aircraft - the controversial F-35 Lightning II.
The unique Mustang sports titanium paint scheme, with both glossy and matte sections, as well as yellow-and-blue trim and decal elements inspired by CF-1, the first F-35 test plane. A carbon-fiber front splitter and rear diffuser add some visual eye candy, while the interior boasts a set of Recaro seats. Ford also opted to fit unique wheels and a brawnier rear spoiler, to tie everything together.
Shelby Cobra, Mercedes 300SL and 1947 Woodie from Petersen Museum headed to auction
Mon, 29 Jul 2013The changes happening at the Petersen Museum have been making the rounds in major press, but it probably won't be until August 18, during Pebble Beach, when we get the full story on what's happening; that's where and when museum reps plan on announcing the way forward for the SoCal institution. In the meantime, the museum is still reorganizing its collection, and that means auctioning some of its showpieces at this weekend's Auctions America event in Burbank.
Three of the stars are a 1964 Shelby Cobra 289, one of less than 20 produced with a three-speed C-4 automatic transmission, a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL owned by actor Robert Stack and the last 1948 Ford Sportsman 'Woodie' ever produced. The Cobra, now restored to its original white exterior and red leather interior, was a factory demonstrator that first sold for $5,250. Showing just 38,950 miles on the odometer, its pre-sale estimate is $800,000 to $1 million.
The 300SL is actually a 1957 model but wasn't titled until Robert Stack took possession in 1960. The lead actor in the The Untouchables TV series used to drive by the Sunset Boulevard Mercedes dealership to ogle the car, but couldn't justify spending the money to buy it. When he and the producer of The Untouchables won Emmys for the show, the producer, who happened to be Desi Arnaz, bought the car for Stack. He owned it his whole life, it has been left as Stack drove it and still bears the California license plate "UNTCHBL."
