1971 Ford Thunderbird Base Sedan 4-door 7.0l on 2040-cars
Midland, Texas, United States
|
Have a nice 1971 for Thunderbird for sale. Was planning on fixing it up and cruising it, but just don't have the time. Need the money to fix up my truck. Purchased it last summer at an estate sale in Nebraska. The owner was a retired mechanic that bought the car new and drove it until he couldn't drive anymore and the car was parked in the late 80's early 90's in a barn. There it sat for 20+ years. I purchased it and had it taken to a local shop where they rebuilt the carburetor and cleaned the fuel lines and tank. It started, ran, and drove from there to my parents house awaiting me to come pick it up. This was last fall. Now it cranks over, fires, but will not stay running for longer than 2 minutes. Not sure if it is a timing issue or vacuum leak. Might even be something else, but I don't have any experience with old car repair. While in Nebraska the old brake lines cracked and car will no longer hold brake fluid. It also has some rust behind the rear quarter panels, but overall the body is in good shape and solid. The interior is amazing!! It has the original 429 Thunderjet Big Block V8. The cousin to the Boss 429 and 429 Cobra Jet. Kaase Engines uses these blocks to make their Boss 429 Racing Engines. This TBird is loaded with options. Power Windows, Power Drivers Seat, Cruise Control (buttons on steering wheel), Automatic Climate Control, and many more. Most I didn't even know were available in 1971. $500 deposit and contact me to arrange pick up (payment) of car within 48 hours after auction end. Will need to have car picked up within 2 weeks of auction end. Car does not run and will need to be towed from Midland, Texas. I will release Title once the payment has posted to my account. I have clear Nebraska Title, Registration, and Insurance on the T-Bird. |

Ford Fiesta becomes UK all-time best seller
Thu, 24 Jul 2014We may regard Ford as an American automaker, but ask a Brit and they may tell you otherwise. The Blue Oval has, after all, been selling cars in the UK since 1903, and started manufacturing there as far back as 1911 when it began local production of the Model T in Manchester. Last year Ford ended 100 years of vehicle manufacturing in the UK when the last Transit van rolled off the assembly line in Southampton, but it's still the biggest-selling automotive marque in Britain.
Ford has led the British market for 34 out of the past 45 years, selling more Fiestas than any other company sells any other car in the UK since 2009... when it overtook the Focus. In fact the Fiesta has now become the best-selling car in British history, topping 4,115,000 units since its introduction in 1976. The previous record was held by - you guessed it - another Ford: the Escort sold 4,105,961 units over the course of its 32 years on the British market.
Although the Fiesta is no longer manufactured in the UK (previous versions having been built at Dagenham until 2002), engines are: the EcoBoost line was developed at the company's R&D center in Essex and are built at the factory in Dunton, while its diesel engines were developed at Dagenham in East London. Even the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine in the Fiesta ST is built in South Wales.
Mustang pinball game will feature art by Ford GT designer
Fri, 13 Dec 2013To celebrate 50 years of Mustang, Ford and Stern Pinball are collaborating on a new pinball machine that will feature the muscle car in all its glory, Polygon reports. Even better, Camilo Pardo, the guy who designed the Ford GT, will provide art for the table; Tanner Foust, Top Gear USA host and professional driver, will handle narrating duties; and a Sony Music soundtrack spanning five decades will provide the tunes.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made... What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?" says Stern Pinball CEO Gary Stern.
Watch the promotional trailer for the upcoming Mustang pinball machine below, which will have to hold you over until pricing and availability are announced in early 2014.
Ford announces first non-pursuit-rated police car ever
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Ford announced its first non-pursuit-rated Police Interceptor ever, based on the Taurus, which employs the smaller 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine in place of similar pursuit-rated Police Interceptors powered by naturally aspirated 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter V6s and the top-spec 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Officially called the Special Service Police sedan, the car was commissioned at the request of law-enforcement agencies that desire a more fuel-efficient vehicle for detectives, administrators and campus police, who don't necessarily need pursuit-rated vehicles.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine produces 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, but more importantly, it allows the SSP sedan to achieve somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway, which are the civilian 2.0-liter Taurus' official EPA ratings. Ford estimates that the SSP sedan will get 20 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined, with the help of Active Grille Shutters that open to allow more cooling air through to the radiator, or close to optimize aerodynamics and fuel economy. Those numbers compare favorably to the discontinued Crown Victoria-based Interceptor's 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway and the newer Taurus-based cars equipped with V6s, the most fuel efficient of which gets 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
If it was driven 90,000 miles over the course of three years, a 2.0-liter SSP sedan would save law enforcement agencies $5,042.92 versus the Crown Vic, Ford estimates. The EPA is expected to post official fuel-economy numbers for the SSP sedan in December. Until then, read the press release below for more information.
