I have up for auction a fairly solid old t-bird. In most cases people would consider this a full restoration needed. The truck pan is in descent shape and doesn't look bad underneath. The worst part of the car is underneath the front of the hood and the drivers side floor pan which i took pics of to show the extent of rust. The rest of the floor pans look to be fairly solid with the exception of the passenger side floorboard where it looks like someone took a large screwdriver and punctured two holes in it. Don't know why this was done. Only two of the windows worked with the switch, which was the front driver's side and the rear passenger window, the glass is in the other two windows just wouldn't go up with the switch. All of the parts to the top are there, but disconnected to allow manual operation of the top being put up and down. The lower rockers do show sign of some rust, but nothing with holes through. The motor turns over with ignition key, but have not tried to start might later this weekend and will update info as needed. Does not have the gas tank in it, but does have a gas tank. All of the fluids are appear to be good in the motor and clean. The last time the vehicle was tagged was in 1993. The mufflers and a few of the brake lines appear to have been replaced a couple years ago. If your looking for a descent project that you can maybe enjoy without spending a lot of money getting on the road this would be the one. There is NO RESERVE!!!! Please if you have any questions ask before bidding, this car is being sold as is and where is, if you would like to come and look at vehicle can arrange time to meet with you. The buyer is responsible for the shipping costs of vehicle. Will require full payment before title or car leaves premises. Thanks and happy bidding.

Ford invests $682 million in Edge-producing Canadian facility
Sun, 22 Sep 2013Ford announced that it's investing $682 million in its Oakville assembly plant in Ontario, Canada, to make it a global manufacturing plant, which the automaker also says secures 2,800 jobs there. Including this injection of cash, Ford has invested over $2 billion in Canada in the last decade, starting with nearly $1 billion for Oakville in 2004, and over $570 million for its Essex Engine Plant in 2010.
The move to make Oakville a global manufacturer of Ford vehicles means, "If consumers suddenly shift their buying habits, we can seamlessly change our production mix without having to idle a plant," says Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas.
Ford says that the latest investment will help it meet North American demand for the Oakville-produced Edge crossover, which is on track this year to beat 2007's US sales record of 130,000 Edges. The Ford Flex and Lincoln MKX and MKT are also manufactured at the plant.
The big dune jump and the damage done
Mon, 20 May 2013The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.
Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting
Tue, 13 May 2014It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.
