Encino, California, United States
|
For Sale by Owner: 1965 FORD THUNDERBIRD (390 cid)
I bought this car 6 months ago for $3,000, Then spent another $1500 and two months of my time and energy to restore it. I purchased it from an older gentleman who bought it originally and owned it until 2009. He let it sit in his garage for a long time, until l came along and brought it back to life. Restoring has been going well, but now my job is relocating me and I need to move & own 3 other classics. This is a great project car for someone who wants to enjoy restoring a vehicle that runs good. Clean title. I have the rear fender skirts and original hub caps *(which are not in these pictures) located in the trunk It drives nice, needs exhaust gaskets, paint, carpet & some interior work.... Work I've done: Tune Up, Oil change, air filter, cap & rotor Rebuilt Carburetor Replaced Gas Tank Replaced Fuel Sending Unit Replaced Gas Nozzle tube Transmission serviced Fixed the wiring and dash lights, they light up really nice. Small fixes and straightened out a lot of misc details Detailed the engine compartment and used liquid dyes in the transmission and engine oils to trace & stop leaks I put about 2 months of work into this car to get it to run smooth and the next person can at least drive it or move it around while restoring it and not worry about jumping it and towing it. Battery keeps charge well. this car looks horrible without a paint job, but the body is completely straight. there are small normal surface rust areas above side rear molding *(see picture) this has always been a California vehicle. I prefer a local buyer who can come pick it up, but I am open to serious buyers elsewhere but BUYER PAYS FOR ALL SHIPPING/TRANSPORTATION COSTS. thank you for reading my page & good luck bidding. On Jun-09-14 at 20:54:38 PDT, seller added the following information: I added a few more detailed pictures of the front bumper & grill, the front driver's and passenger's floor boards and the trunk. A few updates: I replaced & installed a new master cylinder today. & I also bought an original Jack & tire iron and a tire - just needs spare rim. I'm going to keep working on it until someone buys it. The passenger floor board has a small hole *(size of a small pen) on the side, where I can see a spec of light. So there is a little rust but: When I had it up in the air & looked from underneath: it looks good but needs small patch work done on the passenger front side. Driver's side looks good, both sides has a little surface rust but does NOT need a total replacement of floor boards. The trunk is in nice condition & does NOT need rust repairing. Any surface rust on this entire vehicle is sandable and normal for this condition, which is really good for the way it has been preserved. I'm already into this car for twice what I listed it for, due to my need to sell it quickly >> I'm moving from a home to a townhouse... I have a 67 Continental convertible & 65 Impala and those cars are all I can handle right now.... Please message me for any other questions or you can call me at - 818 263 5570 Thanks On Jun-10-14 at 20:30:35 PDT, seller added the following information: After receiving more requests to upload pictures, I put the hub caps on and the rear fender skirts so everyone can see they are included and then took some more pictures so everyone can see how straight the body is. As I said I'm going to keep working on this vehicle until it sells. Thank you for the helpful tips and inquires, I hope this vehicle goes to someone who loves T-birds and finishes it the right way. |

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue
Tue, 28 May 2013We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.
Watch how Ford torture-tested the 2015 F-150
Wed, 09 Apr 2014The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the United States for the past 37 years, and the best-selling vehicle outright for the past 32. That's quite a legacy, and thus, it's no surprise that Ford worked super-duper-extra hard on creating the all-new, aluminum-bodied 2015 F-150 that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
During an event at the company's headquarters in Dearborn, MI this week, we were able to see all of the ways that Ford endurance tests, not just the new F-150, but all of its vehicles. From examining things like light exposure to interior materials and paint finishes, to making sure that corrosion absolutely does not happen when steel components come in contact with aluminum panels in the new truck. The goal: ensure that the new F-150 is nothing short of "Built Ford Tough."
But that's only a small part of the story. Of course, the new F-150 has to be able to withstand whatever a pickup buyer might throw at it - and truck buyers arguably demand the most from their vehicles. So in an effort to convey just what the new F-150 had to go through before being given the final go-ahead, Ford has released a series of videos, showing how its new halo truck was indeed torture tested.
Ford recalling nearly 5,700 2014 F-150s for power steering issue
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Ford is recalling 5,675 of its 2014 F-150 pickups over an issue with the electric power steering system. There haven't been any injuries or accidents due to the issue.
Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Autoblog that the "electric power-assisted steering and motor position sensor gear were incorrectly installed by a supplier," leading to the recall.
While the recall is larger on the surface, it's important to note that only 260 trucks have been delivered to customers. The remaining pickups are currently en route to dealers. The affected vehicles were manufactured between May 26 and June 19.
