1965 Ford Thunderbird on 2040-cars

Up for sale is my 1965 Ford Thunderbird. The car does not have a motor and transmission in it right now. The original short block asym is in the trunk. Short block consists of the original 390 Block, painted and ready to be built, crank, rods, and pistons. I had planned on fixing this car up, but I just have too many other projects going on right now. The exterior of this car has great potential. It is super straight, and paint looks great in most areas, there are some spots that looks as if they were wet sanded. As far as I can tell this car is absolutely rust free, and everything looks, sounds, and feels solid. The interior on this car is beautiful. All the chrome trim, and buttons are in place. The headliner is in great shape. The driver seat has a tear, and seems like the foam has lost its cushion, and the floor does need carpet. Besides the driver seat rip, and the carpet, the interior is perfect! Even has the original 1965 Owners manual in the center console. Car is equipped with power windows, swing away steering wheel, power steering, A/C, and disc brakes. Whitewall tires are like new, and comes with 4 original hubcaps, and also 4 spyder caps with 15" beauty rings if you want more of a rat rod kinda look. Car has a clear title. I have another Ford 390 V8 (not original to this car) complete from oil pan to carburetor that can be negotiated ONLY if you are able to pick up in person, and access to a 3spd Cruise O Matic transmission.This car would make a killer cruiser! You don't see black on black very often, so don't let this easy project slip away. Ask any question you need.

Thanks

Car is located just north of Dallas, Texas

The history and future of the Ford Bronco

Tue, 17 Jun 2014



Some have suggested that the Bronco's demise was hastened by the fallout from the O.J. trial.
Twenty years ago today, ex-NFL linebacker Al "A.C." Cowlings drove his friend and onetime running back Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson on a parade lap of the Los Angeles highway system and onto an ignoble page of the history books. If you're in your late 20s or older, or a fastidious young student of 1990s American history, you're absolutely aware that Al and O.J.'s steed for the 'chase' was a white Ford Bronco. The white Ford Bronco, even.

Ford Mustang hit by Moore' Oklahoma's EF5 tornado lives to do another burnout

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

Oklahoma recently saw the destructive power of an EF5 tornado, but in the aftermath of the devastation, we've also been witness to the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Moore, OK resident Jack Haden survived the storm but found that his 2003 Ford Mustang wasn't quite as lucky. As you can see in the image above, the tornado's 200+ mph winds did quite a number on the car, but while most people would have likely called their insurance company and scrapped the car, Haden had other plans.
After finding the car and seeing that its V6 still fired up, Haden spent a couple hours getting the car, um... roadworthy(?)... by removing the doors and front clip, cutting off the roof and putting on some new wheels and tires. He noticed that driving it around brought some comic relief to an area that needed a reason to laugh and smile. Check out the KSBI TV news report video below showing before and after pictures of the tough 'Stang, as well as a video showing the newly lightweight coupe doing a smoky burnout.

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
