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.

Petrolicious pays visit to tuning sensation the Ringbrothers

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

We caught up with a few projects from Ringbrothers at SEMA this year: a classic Ford Mustang body rendered in carbon fiber, and a De Tomaso Pantera-based concept that made us swoon.
It's with good timing then, that our friends at Petrolicious have uploaded their newest, well-crafted mini-documentary to the expansive airwaves of the Internet. Here, we meet the brothers Ring in person - Mike and Jim - and see how they've lent they're passion for craftsmanship to their business, along with their surname. A 1964 Ford Fairlane dubbed "Afterburner" and a 1965 Mustang called "Producer" star in this show.

Ford running short of F-150 frames

Sun, Jun 7 2015

Like most any automaker, Ford is eager to build as many F-150 pickups as it can sell. And considering that the truck has long stood as the top selling vehicle in the United States, that means building (and selling) a lot of them. Further, Ford reports that its factories are finally fully up to speed and ready to build as many F-150s as dealers can sell. Unfortunately another factor is reportedly preventing the new aluminum-bodied pickup from reaching its potential. According to Automotive News and as we've heard before, the Blue Oval automaker has had trouble getting its hands on as many frames as it needs. Though Ford would not confirm the shortage itself, AN cites union sources in reporting that the Metalsa plant in Kentucky, which produces the new F-150's frame for Ford, has been unable to meet the demand for more such frames. "Whenever you have launches, you have issues that you have to deal with in the supply base," is all Ford CFO Bob Shanks would admit. "We're always working closely with suppliers if there's an issue to sort it out. If that were the case, that's what we'd be doing." The reported supply shortage could be why plans for overtime production are reportedly being canceled at both the plants in Kansas City and Dearborn where the F-150s are assembled, despite reaching or nearing full capacity. The shortage could also help explain why, according to AN, sales of the F-Series in the United States fell nearly 10 percent last month, while the rest of the pickup market rose 17 percent.
