1962 Thunderbird Convertable on 2040-cars
Marshall, Texas, United States
I am selling my 1962 Thunderbird convertible as I do not have time to drive it or restore it as I had planed. New house, kids work and another project vehicle. I have had this car for 5 years . I have replaced the brake drums and pads, new fuel tank, a couple of the convertible top electrical relays, water pump and fuel pump (Last month). The carburetor was sent of to Pony Carburetors in New Mexico for a complete rebuild about 1500 miles ago.This has been a good driver car but here is a list of issues or things needing replacement or repair. Needs all new tires, needs all new weather striping primarily on the soft top. The top itself has just recently decided to not come up from the down position. I think it is a relay for the main deck lid motors are turning. The Generator is not charging well. Interior is in great (not perfect) condition. No rips or tears or cracks. The car is black on black with a light blue top that is also in great condition. The rear window is a bit discolored. It has electric windows that all work, but.....when it hasn't been driven in a while and cold, the two small passenger windows seem to be real slow or stuck. May just need cleaning. Odometer shows 4205 miles but I doubt its original. This car is originally from Northern California. I believe it was restored back in late 70's or early 80's. Looks like there was a repair to the right rear quarter panel back then. has a little wave to the panel. It runs very good once warmed up. I am selling it as is where is with no warranty. I have been as honest as I can and hide nothing. If you have any question message me on here and I will do the best I can to answer. Buyer is responsible for all shipping or storage fees. I can keep in my barn for a while but not overly long at $20.00 a day after auctions end. I require $500.00 to be deposited at auctions end to my account and full payment within 3 days and before pickup. If help is need for shipping arrangements I will be happy to help. Thank you Bruce |

Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage
Mon, 17 Mar 2014There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.
Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
Ford overlooks the Big Apple in the 2015 Mustang Convertible [w/video]
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Ford has done it again. Like in April of 1964, there is once again an all-new Mustang Convertible sitting on the observation deck of New York City's Empire State Building. This has been in the making for a little while, with the first report that Ford would recreate the sky-high publicity stunt coming out a few weeks back.
The process of getting the Mustang up there wasn't exactly easy. A Troy, MI-based company chopped up the new droptop, a necessary evil to get the Mustang on the Empire State Building's only freight elevator that runs to the 86th floor observation deck. But it was slightly more involved than just taking the car apart. The company, DST, built a mockup of the ESB's freight elevators, and then practiced its cuts on a second pre-production Mustang Convertible (measure twice, cut once).
The result of all this work are the images you see above. Yes, sitting in the crisp, morning air of midtown Manhattan, over 1,000 feet up, is this brilliant, Triple Yellow Mustang. Take a look up top for our gallery of images from today's event. You can also scroll down for videos and images of the process leading up to the ESB debut.
