1961 Thunderbird Convertible, 390 Auto. This car has been in dry storeage and not driven since 1969. There is very little rust on the car. The driver side rear quarter panel has some rust behind the wheel and a small spot above the wheel. The drivers door on the seam has a very small amount and under the passenger front seat there is one small hole. The previous owner in 1968 put a 4 speed transmission in it, that transmission is not there, I have included a cruisematic transmission out of thunderbird. The orginal 390 is there. The car was taken apart prior to my purchase. It appears to be all there so far as I can tell. The bellhousing for transmission is missing. The rear seat is original, not sure if front buckets are orginal or not. The car is super straight but does need a full restoration. There is some rust in the battery tray area, probably a leaking battery. The original wiring harness that is shown in the trunk area is the wiring from under the dash. The wiring and switches for the trunk and top are all there and have not been removed.
I buy and sell several cars a year, for a car that is 52 years old this is a great car to begin with and will make someone a wonderful car to give a full restoration.
The interior door panels front and rear are there and are black. If you would like additional pics, please send me your email, if difficult to post all the pics.
This car has been in the same family of ownership since 1968 and was only driven by the family for a year or two and the owner bought a new car and thought they would restore the car and it set in dry storeage since 1969.
$750 deposit is required within 24 hours and is non refundable, Full payment within 7 days. Will sell worldwide, you are responsible for shipping.
If you would like a BUY IT NOW price, you are welcome to call me at 317 440 1278, also if you have questions. Thanks Doug

Ford Fiesta ST customs get wild at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The massive 57-car SEMA showcase by Ford ranges from obvious aftermarket-friendly models like the Mustang, to the not so obvious ones, like the Transit Connect and cute-as-an-explosive-button Fiesta ST. Ford plucked several Fiesta STs for SEMA duty, and we were on the show floor today to get a closer look at some of them.
First up is the striking COBB Tuning and Tanner Foust Racing Fiesta ST (above) finished in a black-and-gray digital camouflage, much like that used in the military, and is meant to raise awareness for the Pat Tillman Foundation. COBB also fitted a three-inch exhaust and a cold-air intake. A new shift knob, carbon-fiber hood and a Kicker stereo round out the mix of upgrades.
MRT got its hands on a Fiesta ST and created a car inspired by Forza Motorsport 5 (below, left). Featuring a two-tone paint job and more performance upgrades than you can shake a stick at, this Fiesta ST is one of the cooler compacts at Ford's stand. A high-performance exhaust system, along with a complimentary COBB induction system, allows the ST to breathe better, while an H&R coil over suspension and Steeda brakes help it stop and turn better than stock.
Watch this lead sled go rallying in Finland
Thu, 19 Jun 2014Custom cars generally fit into neat little boxes in terms of how they are used. For example, you're unlikely to see a modded Corvette going rock crawling; it's just not what it's made for (though we bet it'd look awesome, for a minute). In the same way, chopped, channeled and customized '50s hot rods aren't really meant to go racing. They look great and go fast, but they are generally more cruisers than sports cars.
However, if this video is any indication, the people of Finland don't adhere in these stereotypes, because this rodder is happy to play in the dirt with his lead sled.
According to the video, the driver is a member of the Ford-Freak Club of Finland, and he clearly knows how to have some fun. Possibly inspired by his country's great rally drivers, he gets the tail way out going around this gently curving gravel track. The stunt is somewhat reminiscent of the stock cars races on the sand at Daytona Beach, and this is probably close to what it sounded like too. Scroll down to watch a very cool Finn getting his hot rod a little dirty.
2015 Ford Mustang dealer order guide surfaces
Tue, 13 May 2014Details about the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang continue to leak out. In fact, at this point, it's more of a stream than a drip. Its option prices are already available, and now the full ordering guide is on the web for all of the trims thanks to the Mustang 6G forum. Ford is rapidly running out of secrets to keep about its new sports coupe.
The 21-page guide can be perused in the gallery below and contains all of the standard features, colors, options codes, descriptions. Generally everything you might want to know about the 'Stang is there, other than its price or power. It even shows off the available wheel designs.
The guide finally gives away the contents of the Performance Package for the EcoBoost and GT trims. The EcoBoost's package includes: A larger rear sway bar, new chassis tuning, larger brake rotors, 19-inch black wheels, retuned driver assistance systems, an aluminum dash panel, added gauge pack, 3.55 limited slip rear differential, larger radiator, heavy-duty front springs and spoiler delete. When the options pricing leaked, it indicated the package would cost $1,995. If that is the case, it seems like quite a deal.
