1959 Ford Thunderbird 430 Coupe. This is an original, rust free, Thunderbird with the original factory 430 Lincoln engine. It is a California Black Plate car, and I have the original California "Pink Slip" title which has been signed by the original owner. The original owner kept all of the repair receipts since the car was new.
I purchased the car two months ago. I wanted the 430 engine for the restoration of my "J Code" convertible. Since then, I found a 430 engine and I don't want to part out this original, complete "J Code" coupe. It is a unique original 1959 Thunderbird that is rust free and complete. When I got the car home, I changed the oil, disconnected the fuel pump so I wouldn't suck old gas into the fuel pump, charged the battery, and it started right up. The original engine sounds very good and should perform well. The previous owner took good car of the car, until they became too old to drive. They let it sit for almost ten years in their California garage. The original color according to the paint code letter "N" on the car is "Starlight Blue." I highly value my 100% positive feedback on Ebay and I want the new owner to know exactly what they are getting. With this in mind, I will list the negative aspects of the car in detail. Keep in mind, this is a completely original Thunderbird. 1. The interior is complete, but is tattered. The front seat is very tattered. It is a power seat and the side seat panel is missing. Please look closely at the photos. I took the front seat out, but it comes with the car. I took a photo of the dry floors with the seat out. 2. I have not driven the car since I bought it. I got the engine running, but I have not cleaned the gas tank or put it in gear. The original owner advised me that it runs good and both the engine and transmission have been rebuilt. (There are receipts to confirm this, but they are several years old.) 3. The car was repainted the, original color, several years ago. There was a minor dent repaired on the driver's door and the paint is chipping off. I took a close up photo of this issue. 4. There is a small dent in the front bumper. As far as I can determine, these are the problems. Again, please look closely at all of the photos. There were very few 430 Thunderbirds manufactured, and very few are left. If you want an easy restoration project of a rare, unique, Thunderbird, this is an ideal candidate. If I didn't have a 430 Convertible, I would keep this car, but I need the funds to continue my project. If you have less than 5 positive feedbacks in your Ebay feedback score, please email or give me a call before bidding. My phone number is (801) 745-5835. I will gladly answer any questions you have regarding the condition of the car. I want this to be a solid, straightforward, auction. A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction closing - unless other arrangements are made. Thanks for looking, and I hope the old Thunderbird finds a good home. On May-01-14 at 09:58:42 PDT, seller added the following information: In response to an Ebay member's questions, It has the original keys and, with the ignition switch turned on, the motor starts and the power windows work properly. I have disconnected the fuel line to the gas tank just in case there is bad gas in the tank, but the car runs and starts as it should. |

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

Ford confirms Everest SUV production for China
Sat, 19 Apr 2014According to Ford, the Chinese SUV segment grew by 49 percent in 2013, and the Blue Oval held a 4.5 percent market share. At the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, Ford is showing the Everest SUV that, while just a concept for now, will go into production in the near future.
The Everest is a big, brawny seven-seat SUV that mixes solid, chiseled styling and contemporary Ford design cues. Up front there is an angular version of the trapezoidal grille and sharp, wraparound headlights. The beltline rises in the rear to make the back appear higher than the front. The rear seems just as chiseled, with the taillights resting in jagged scallops. There is no doubt that this concept means to look rugged, and ready for rough roads - the whole thing looks pretty great.
The truck was penned by Ford's Asia Pacific design and engineering team in Australia, and it was first shown in Sydney last year. Ford's JMC joint venture will build the truck for the Chinese market, and it will be sold at Ford dealers there. The Blue Oval isn't hinting at what powers the production version yet, but it reportedly shares some components with the foreign-market Ranger.
Ford builds USAF Thunderbirds Edition Mustang for charity
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Each year since 2008, Ford has created a one-off Mustang to celebrate military aviation, and the cars have been auctioned off at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Gathering of Eagles charity event to raise money to inspire the next generation of aviators. This year's charity car is the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, which also helps celebrate 60 years of Thunderbirds air show excellence.
Of all the EAA charity cars, this Thunderbirds Edition is the most in depth. Painted to match the F-16 Tomcat fighter jets used by Thunderbirds, this Mustang also gets a widebody kit and 22-inch Forgiato wheels to go with the cockpit's Recaro bucket seats, rear-seat delete and modified navigation screen and gauge cluster. Even the Mustang's projector puddle lights have been changed to show an aircraft silhouette - rather than the Mustang's galloping horse logo - when the doors are open.
Themes for previous EAA charity cars include the Blue Angels, SR-71 Blackbird and the Red Tails as well as the F-22 Raptor-inspired AV8R and AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll" models. Scroll down for the press release for the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, and be sure to check out our galleries for all six aviation-themed Mustangs.
