This car is my baby and I hate to see it go, but I am in desperate need of some college money. I'm going of to college this August and need to get a cheaper vehicle by then. I had the transmission completely overhauled less that a month ago. The main seal was leaking, so while Aamco had the tranny out, I had them go ahead and rebuild it. This car has the Original 390 Big Block Ford FE engine with a 4bbl carb and matching original 3-speed Transmission. The car has 78,813 original miles on it. This was originally a factory A/C car, but when I bought the car, the compressor was missing. I had every intention of putting a new one in but I just never got around to it. I've had this car about 2 years now and I purchased it from a guy in California. I live in Las Vegas, and drove this sweet ride all the way home from California. There are no overheating problems what-so-ever. Driving it home from California is proof of that. This is my daily driver and I do not have any problems with it. This is a very smooth ride and she cruises. She loves both the freeway and surface streets. The interior is absolutely to die for. It amazes me how much they put into old cars, not like newer cars today. The driver seat needs some upholstery work, but the rest of the seats are nice. The back seats don't even appear to be used. The seats are the original leather. This car came from the factory with power windows and a power driver seat. The front driver and passenger windows work great, but I have some problems with the small back windows. I think they need new motors, but that's not a big deal. There's this aftermarket parts dealer in California called Larry's Thunderbird and Mustang, they have every part imaginable for this car, and for great prices. The front wing windows are really cool, I've never seen anything like them before. They are crank to open and close. Less than 6 months ago, I had a brand new paint job put un the car. That along with the Mustang Racing Wheels are the only things I changed. Other than these things, and the Edelbrock carburetor, the car is in its original condition. I'm 6' 1" and have no problems driving this car. I am very comfortable in it, and with the original tilt-away steering wheel, I can get in and out of the car easily. One of my favorite features this car has is the sequential blinkers, from the factory. The last owner converted the blinkers from vacuum to electric. This car is a real head-turner. I get comments multiple times a day, and will really miss all the attention, but the time has come for me to move on. My future is more important than this car. There will always be other cars for me to buy. Please bid with confidence, this beauty deserves it. If there's anything I missed, please fell free to shoot me an email. Let me know if there are specific things you want pictures of. Thank you!! GOOD LUCK bidding!!


This car is being sold AS-IS. At the time of purchase, I require a 100% NON-refundable $1000 deposit for my own assurances that you will come and get the car. The rest will be CASH in person. If for some reason you come to pick up the car and decide not to buy it (which is very unlikely due to the beauty of this car), the deposit will be forfeited and not returned to you.

Aluminum lightweighting does, in fact, save fuel

Mon, Apr 14 2014

When the best-selling US truck sheds the equivalent weight of three football fullbacks by shifting to aluminum, folks start paying attention. Oak Ridge National Laboratory took a closer look at whether the reduced fuel consumption from a lighter aluminum body makes up for the fact that producing aluminum is far more energy intensive than steel. And the results of the study are pretty encouraging. In a nutshell, the energy needed to produce a vehicle's raw materials accounts for about 10 percent of a typical vehicle's carbon footprint during its total lifecycle, and that number is up from six percent because of advancements in fuel economy (fuel use is down to about 68 percent of total emissions from about 75 percent). Still, even with that higher material-extraction share, the fuel-efficiency gains from aluminum compared to steel will offset the additional vehicle-extraction energy in just 12,000 miles of driving, according to the study. That means that, from an environmental standpoint, aluminum vehicles are playing with the house's money after just one year on the road. Aluminum-sheet construction got topical real quickly earlier this year when Ford said the 2015 F-150 pickup truck would go to a 93-percent aluminum body construction. In addition to aluminum being less corrosive than steel, that change caused the F-150 to shed 700 pounds from its curb weight. And it looks like the Explorer and Expedition SUVs may go on an aluminum diet next. Take a look at SAE International's synopsis of the Oak Ridge Lab's study below. Life Cycle Energy and Environmental Assessment of Aluminum-Intensive Vehicle Design Advanced lightweight materials are increasingly being incorporated into new vehicle designs by automakers to enhance performance and assist in complying with increasing requirements of corporate average fuel economy standards. To assess the primary energy and carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) implications of vehicle designs utilizing these materials, this study examines the potential life cycle impacts of two lightweight material alternative vehicle designs, i.e., steel and aluminum of a typical passenger vehicle operated today in North America. LCA for three common alternative lightweight vehicle designs are evaluated: current production ("Baseline"), an advanced high strength steel and aluminum design ("LWSV"), and an aluminum-intensive design (AIV).

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.
