1970 Ford Thunderbird Brougham on 2040-cars

Year:1970 Mileage:28000 Color: of the car
Location:

Royal, Arkansas, United States

Royal, Arkansas, United States

I will describe the T-bird as best i can and please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. The odometer and the title both show 28,xxx miles and title states actual. Actual or not I am not sure. There is only one torn area on the drivers seat and could be from getting in and getting out. Other areas of wear suggest that miles are incorrect. either may, there is no proof. The headliner has 2 holes and appears to have been made by rodents. The rest of the interior appears original and in good condition with the exception of a 3" crack in the dash pad.

Mechanically the car runs and drives and stops. The air does not blow cold but is all there. The exhaust system must have a bad hanger as the tail pipe is bouncing on the frame and the drivers side tail pipe needs to be replaced. The rear main seal leaks badly and will need to be replaced.

The exterior of the car. Car has been painted and had rust repair previously. The rear quarters will require metal work to be put back correct. The good news is that as far as i can tell, the only rust issues are in the quarters. The floors, trunk, doors are all solid. There are a couple bumps under the vinyl roof but can't tell for sure what's going on there. The vinyl roof itself does show signs of weather damage from the sun. A couple small pieces of stainless trim are missing and a couple others are damaged. All could stand to be polished. The back bumper needs to be re-chromed and the rear valance has been damaged. The overall condition of the paint is fair. But truly the car needs to be restored to be the glamour bird it once was.  

The car does have the gorgeous bucket seat console interior but was not delivered with power windows, seats, door locks or cruise control. The positive of that is less to go wrong.

The windshield has one small star from a stone but all the rest is good.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the car at 501-262-8565.

May be able to help with shipping.

Jay Leno and Lee Iacocca reflect on 50 years of Ford Mustang

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Lee Iacocca oversaw the birth of the Ford Mustang back in the 1960s, rocketing the new pony car nameplate into million-unit sales territory in its initial go-round and cementing its place in the history books. Thus, we were immediately drawn to this latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage, in which the funnyman hosts Iacocca for a look at the origins of Ford's most iconic sports car. The legendary auto exec is looking notably more frail than when we last saw him, but if we're being asked around as a video guest when we're 89 years old, we'll consider that evidence of a life well lived.
Serial No. 0001 is on hand for the occasion for Jay's romp through history, as is the historic Mustang 1 showcar from 1962. Of course, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT (in prototype form) makes an appearance at the end of the episode with chief engineer Dave Pericak, as well. Get some, below.

Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
