1979 Ford Thunderbird No Reserve As-is Runs And Drive Clear Title Car Is Stock on 2040-cars
Teaneck, New Jersey, United States
|
Up for auction is a running 1979 Ford Thunderbird sold completely AS-IS. I'm an honest guy so I'll tell you guys exactly what is going on. My feedback is not over 400 and 100% without a reason... I purchased this car from a friend because I thought I was going to restore it and make it nice and shiny..life such has other plans, and just started a new job that will take all of my time. I tried to fit it in with my schedule but working 50+ hours a week and dealing with NJ traffic will leave me no time to work on this..at all.. it was a nice idea, but unfortunately not for me. Now for the details the car is a 302 V8 and runs drives, and shifts. My friend put a brand new battery in it that cost him a hundred bucks just to bring the car to me and is in the car at the present. The tires look decent. The headlights work as do the directional lamps and the light covers go up and down. The inside appears to be green leather and the driver part of the bench is torn. The horn works. The body is surprisingly dent free except the back bumper in which the previous owner backed into something and pushed it in on the driver side (see pictures). The engine runs smooth and starts up every time, and shifts with no loud clunks. The bad is that the odo stopped working around 5000 miles ago. It has 122k miles on the odo at the moment but the real mileage is closer to 127k. Unknown why it stopped working but my friend said one day he noticed it stopped and didn't want to rip open the dash. I don't blame him. Also A/C doesn't work. (Can you really be surprised)..
Now this is ebay and I'm sure some of you are saying I don't believe that but that is what he told me and he is a trust worthy guy. I know that isn't enough to gain anyone's trust so I have decided to just put the auction up with no reserve and just see what it sells for. Other than that it is missing the directional turn signal cover on the front driver side (signal still works), and the dome light inside the car is missing the cover. The ALT light is on the car, but it has always been on according to my friend and didn't affect performance, again if an expert knows what the deal is, bid accordingly. That is all i have looked out so far with the car. This is why it is being sold AS-IS. The car runs drives, and starts up every time. Please listen carefully to this part though. IF YOU REALLY WANT THIS. I MEAN REALLY REALLY REALLY want this, read this carefully and know that I am a busy busy busy man now with my new job. I do not have time to deal with people bailing on this auction. This will most likely sell for very very cheap, so know that this is most likely a PROJECT CAR, even though it runs and drives it is from 1979..KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING INTO. I wish I could have told myself this before buying it. You will have to invest time in this to make it looking like a show car. If you want a good running Ford Thunderbird and have an EYE for RESTORATION projects. This is a good start. There is very slight rust on the car, nothing debilitating. Look at the pictures, do some soul searching, but please..PLEASE PLEASE...do not waste my time. I honestly don't care if it sells for 450 dollars.....at least know what you are getting into.. REMEMBER..AS-IS AS-IS... I REPEAT... AS...IS Payment and Pickup.. A car that will sell this cheap, needs to be picked up, now im sure some t-bird owners out there really need the parts from this vehicle, but shipping this car will probably cost more than the car sells for, so please just pick it up. As far as the payment, I put a 75 dollar paypal deposit, the rest will be paid in cash. I really didn't want to put a paypal deposit but the fact there seems to be TONS of non paying buyers on the ebay motors world, it leaves me no option. A 75 dollar deposit is due in 24 hours of auction close. |

Detroit automakers gain market share simultaneously for first time in 20 years
Wed, 01 May 2013While monthly sales figures might be an easy way of tracking the progression of the auto industry and individual automakers, looking at market share might be more indicative of how each company is actually standing up against its competitors. For the Detroit Three automakers, they have collectively lost almost 30 percent of the market over the last 20 years, but now, for the first time since 1993, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have each posted market share gains at the same time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's share increased the most by 0.7 percent, GM was up 0.5 percent and Chrysler rose marginally by 0.2 percent, giving the Detroit automakers a total market share of 45.6 percent. As for the Japan's Big Three, the article reports that Toyota is up by 0.7 percent, Nissan is down the same amount and Honda has seen "little change."
Watch NASCAR racer Brad Keselowski do a burnout... in a hotel conference room
Fri, 08 Mar 2013A vast majority of hotels frown upon smoking inside the building these days, but Brad Keselowski doesn't follow the rules. During his introduction at the 2013 MiilerCoors Distribution Convention, the reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup champion smoked the tires of his Miller-sponsored Ford Fusion stock car, adding a pair of thick, black stripes to the carpeting of the Marriott World Center's conference room.
This definitely isn't a high-quality video, but it's the perfect vantage point to watch Keselowski lay down some rubber and receive a well-deserved standing ovation after pulling up in front of the crowd. Check out the short-but-sweet video posted below.
Ford Mustang GT350 seen and heard in motion for the first time
Fri, 27 Sep 2013We just recently saw our first spy shots of the next-gen hi-po Ford Mustang slated to replace the Shelby GT500, but now we're getting our first look - and listen - of prototypes captured on video. Mustang6g.com has the video (along with some different spy shots), which show that, if nothing else, SVT knows how to tune an exhaust system. The :50 mark is a good example of this, but fast-forward to around 2:00 where the driver revs the engine and really gets on the throttle hard taking off from a stop.
There's still no definitive evidence that the next-gen SVT Mustang - said to be called GT350 - will be naturally aspirated, but it sounds just as menacing as the current Shelby GT500. While the video posted below exhibits the sort of quality that is to be expected from someone driving while trying to film someone who is attempting to elude being filmed, it's still exciting to see and hear this new Mustang in motion.
