1961 Ford Thunderbird

This beautiful 1961 Ford T-Bird was purchased with the intention of showing it this up-coming car show season, but it doesn't appear myself or my family will be showing this one as much as we would like. Therefore, I would like to give someone else an opportunity to own this car great car.

Beautiful colors and a nice original Bird. Only 93,000 miles, numbers matching, and garage kept it's entire life. Older restoration of a nice original car that still looks good and drives well. This will be a good investment and a fun car for the next owner :-)

Details/Features:

390ci V8 Engine (300 hp, 4 BBL)
Cruise-O-Matic Transmission (Automatic)
Power Steering
Power Brakes
Power Windows
Power Top (not working)
Power Seat
Deluxe Radio
"Swing Away" Steering Wheel
Dual Exhaust
Windshield Washer
Factory Tinted Glass
Fender Skirts
Recent brakes, tune-up, etc.

The engine runs great, makes good power, and starts well every time. The transmission also shifts well. The car gets down the road and will flow with modern traffic effortlessly. All the gauges, lights, and horn work (clock is correct only twice a day). Original radio works too! Steers and stops with ease. It is ready to drive and enjoy right away.

This Ford is a nice original survivor car that has been painted many years ago. It does have chips, scratches, and flaws due to age and driving. Lots of great looking factory original chrome and other unrestored original features. Good floors and under-carriage. Needs a new cloth top eventually and some trouble shooting to get the power top mechanism going again (relay?). The interior is beautiful! Seats have been re-upholstered in the not too distant past. Overall, it's a sharp looking and driving Ford. NOT A PERFECT CAR, but not priced like one ... Please bid what you wish to pay (I may add a "Buy it now" price later in the listing).

Original carburetor, air cleaner, and books included.

I welcome inspections and appraisers. Shown by appointment.

eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history

Sat, 03 May 2014

You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid

Thu, 02 May 2013

No Prius Killer
As much as we enthusiasts like to rail on the lowly Toyota Prius as the harbinger of death for all we hold dear, there's no denying the machine's absolute and interminable grip on the hybrid hatchback market in the United States. Toyota has so thoroughly sunk its teeth into the segment that you can clearly hear the automaker's incisors clacking against one another with the conclusion of each financial quarter. And there's little wonder why. Buyers can plop down less than $25,000 and have a runabout that can return up to an estimated 51 miles per gallon in the city, leaving every other entry on the market with precious little gristle to gnaw on.
Enter the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. With its claimed 47 mpg combined, the funky little hatch from Europe already falls behind the 48 mpg city offered by the Prius, but that marginal sacrifice in fuel economy could be a small price to pay for buyers who want a credible alternative to the stalwart Toyota. Unfortunately, like the Fusion Hybrid, the C-Max Hybrid had trouble even approaching its Environmental Protection Agency estimates during our time with the car.

Here's more of the Ford GT soundtrack

Mon, Aug 3 2015

You probably won't be surprised to find out that that while we outsiders were speculating on the racing plans for the new Ford GT, the automaker was already testing the American exotic on track. Ford Performance has just posted some footage from one of those tests and it's worth a watch. In spite of that early exhaust promo and Xcar's two in-depth videos on the racer and the road-going coupe, this is the first time we've been treated to sustained looks at the track version just laying in laps and roaring by. Now that we know Ford's plans include running four cars throughout the 2016 season, the early testing makes sense. Ford will have two cars running in the GTE-Pro class in the Tudor United Sports Car Championship and another two in the same class in the FIA World Endurance Championship, all of them campaigned by Chip Ganassi Racing with the Felix Sabates team. Then the company plans to have all four cars at Le Mans, which will be Chip Ganassi's first ever tilt at the French event. If you want some practice picking out exhaust notes come 2016, check out the video above.
