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 :-)

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).

Signature Edition Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake to get limited production run

Mon, Dec 22 2014

The upcoming Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang keeps grabbing a horde of headlines thanks in no small part to the pony car's 5.2-liter V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft, magnetic dampers and other go-fast goodies. However, as the new contender enters the ring, Shelby American is saying goodbye to the old GT500 and the company's even more powerful Super Snake version with its new Signature Edition model. Limited to a total of 50 conversions on 2007-2014 coupe or convertible GT500s, the Shelby American Signature Edition packages some of buyers' most common choices into a single vehicle with a few extra touches, as well. The heart of it all is a 3.6-liter Kenne Bell supercharger to replace the V8's standard blower and take power up to a claimed 850 horsepower for the latest models. To keep things running at the proper temp, the mill gets an upgraded radiator, heat exchanger and aluminum cooling tanks, too. The rear brakes are also improved to slow this stallion down. In addition to the boosted power, buyers get some extra style. These special Super Snakes are available in all of the colors available on them from Ford, plus a range of shades for the stripe, and the wide body package can also be added as an additional option. The limited version wears 20-inch forged wheels from Weld that are 9.5-inches wide at the front and 10.5-inches at the rear and feature Signature Edition center caps. Inside, there's a commemorative badge with Shelby's signature on the airbag cover and Signature Edition floor mats. Finally, customers get a day training at the track to learn how to control this beast as part of the package. Orders for the Signature Edition are being accepted through January 31, 2015, and the modded model is priced at $44,995.00, which is in addition to the price of the stock GT500. Read below for Shelby American's full announcement of this limited Mustang.

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
