This is a California rust free car. It is not a factory original. It is a good looking driver that runs and handles very good. It is a non completed project that was never completed but driven 3000 miles after doing major work to make it road worthy.It has not been driven in the last 10 years. maybe 30 miles, and it has always been garaged since I bought it in 1995. It needs a lot of TLC to complete. It is great mechanically and looks good, but needs so much small stuff done to make it complete. I caution you not to buy it if you want it to end up with all factory parts, or if you are not mechanically inclined. It would not be worth it to pay someone to do all the work or buy all the exact Thunderbird parts. It is not a bad car just not done. I have most of the parts to finish it. I put in a list of what needs to be done to make it more practibal to drive and what is not factory stock. I have put in about $30K in parts not including the cost of the car.

I bought it with ithe interior stripped out. It had an epoxy primer in it. The brakes were all new except for the front drums. It also came with new wiring ,but not factory wiring. I install a rebuilt 57 Merc 312 with hardened exhaust valve seats and was balanced. The engine has rebuilt rockerarms and 5/16" pushrods. The distributor is non Thunderbird tac drive one with Pertronix ignitor. The transmission is a Maverick 3 speed manual with a Hurst shifter. All front suspension and steering linkage is new including rebuilt steering box. Heavy duty front and rear stabilyzers were installed along with new shocks. All the exterior chrome was redone or new. The center section of the rear bumper has some rust bubbles. I don't think it was plated with copper underneath. The interior was sprayed with zero rust and new interior installed. All the exhaust is new with Glass packs. All the weather stripping is new except for the top which it needs badly. The window channel is new but is too tight. The door locks need adjusting. The doors and hood need to be aligned. The paint used on the exterior is PPG Concept single stage urethane. There is no canvas top. It uses mechanical gauges not the stock ones.

Please study the pictures carefully. I have included in the pictures a list of my recollection of non stock Thunderbird items and things that need to be done.I have a lot of the parts.

This car comes with no guarentee. It is sold as is. A non refundable deposit of $500 is due 48 hours after the auction and the remainder 10 days after the end of auction. I will accept cashiers check, cash in person, or bank transfer for payment. I will only release the car when all the funds are posted in my account. Feel free to ask all you questions.

Get a taste of Ford GT ownership from Dust Devils

Thu, Jan 1 2015

It seems that the automotive world might be right on the cusp of getting some kind of follow-up to the Ford GT. It might not be called the GT or even use the coupe's retro look, but rumors point to such a beast being on the way. If the future halo model can inspire as much adoration among fans as the previous ones, then the Blue Oval is sure to have another winner on its hands. To get idea just how closely GT owners are bonded to their cars, take a ride with the participants in the ninth Ford GT National Rally in this short documentary titled Dust Devils. The owners convened with over 80 of the retro supercars in Las Vegas, NV, to admire the coupes and give them a workout on the desert roads. It's especially nice to see the drivers of these limited production Fords unafraid to take their cars to the track and stretch their legs a little. Related Gallery 2016 Honda Accord Coupe V6: Quick Spin View 25 Photos There's just something about the shape of the GT and the GT40 before it that gets everything right aesthetically. The long, low-slung look is simultaneously menacing and lithe, and the growl from the latest model's supercharged V8 is nothing to complain about either. Get just the slightest taste of what it's like to have one of these halo Fords in this clip, from the people that love them the most.

Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.
