Ford Thunderbird 1959 430 Coupe on 2040-cars
Eden, Utah, United States
|
1959 Ford Thunderbird 430 Coupe. This is a very clean, almost rust free, 430 Coupe. I have a clear, original, Utah Title, in my name. This Thunderbird was purchased by the previous owner for restoration. His plans changed and he decided to sell the car. The 430 Thunderbird Coupe is a relatively rare Thunderbird. Only around 1500 1959 Thunderbirds came from the factory with the 430 Lincoln Engine. Ford got into NASCAR during this time period, and used the 430 Thunderbird as Ford first stock car racer. In 1959, when Motor Trend Magazine picked their first "Car of the Year," the 1959 Ford Thinderbird 430 was selected. It is the very first Motor Trend Car of the Year. All "Squarebirds" have become very popular, but the 430 cars are growing in value. This car is clearly identified as a "J" car on the VIN and Title. It is not a clone. Please look closely at all of the photos. The floors are dry and rust free, the trunk is in excellent condition, and the doors, hood, and truck align properly. All the glass is good. The interior is in very good condition. The passenger's side door panel is in the trunk. The reserve on the car is very low.
I want to be sure the new owner knows exactly what they are getting. With this in mind, I will list the negative aspects of the car in detail. 1. The 430 Engine and C6 transmission come with the car, but are currently not in the car. (I don't think the 430 engine is the car's original motor, but there is no way to tell. The title and VIN numbers show that the car is a factory original 430 car.) 2. There are some minor missing trim pieces. These parts are readily available in several aftermarket catalogs. 3. The headliner has seam splits. 4. On the passenger's side front, lower, fender there is some rust showing. it is not serious, but it will need to be addressed. A $500. PayPal deposit is required within 48 hours of the auction closing, unless other arrangements have been made. If you have less than 5 positive feedbacks in your Ebay feedback score, please, email/message or give me a call. I want this to be a good, straightforward, auction. No scams, etc. My phone number is (801) 745-5835. Please look at my Ebay feedback. I highly value my 100% positive feedback from almost 700 different people. I'm not a dealer. I just love old cars and this Thunderbird is one too many. |

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.
2016 Ford Taurus to ride atop reworked Fusion platform
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Generally, cars get bigger and heavier as they get older. That's why it looks so ridiculous when you park a classic Mini next to a modern version. The same can be said of the Corvette, the BMW 3 Series, Porsche 911 and, of course, the Ford Taurus. In the Taurus' case, though, that size has become a liability, particularly because the big brute isn't nearly as sizable on the inside as it is on the out.
For 2016, Ford is aiming to rectify that. According to Edmunds, the 2016 Taurus will ride on a stretched and widened Ford Fusion platform. Ford is expecting this move to go a long way in trimming the Taurus' ample body fat.
"The problem with today's Taurus is that it is overweight and even the high performance SHO is not really competitive," said a source that spoke to Edmunds on condition of anonymity. The 365-horsepower SHO variant, "actually weighs about as much as the stretched Audi A8 L. Of course, Audi uses an extensive amount of aluminum, but it is a much bigger car."
