1959 Ford Thunderbird on 2040-cars
Lubbock, Texas, United States
|
Hello, up for auction is a 1959 Thunderbird . It has the base 352 300 hp engine with automatic transmission. I will call it a running project as it has some issues you would expect from a fifty year old car that has been driven, namely there is rust on it I do not know how severe it is , the windows need work , the generator light stays on , it has a couple of small cracks in the side glass,it will need new rubber seals around the door and trunk, the shocks need to be replaced and will need a set of tires as these are weather cracked on the sides . The engine sounds good and strong but does smoke , I think that it is the carburetor because the smoke is black. The car is not too bad all in all I just wanted the bidder to be aware it is not a show car but something that could be driven as they were working on it. The air compressor is not on the car nor did it have when I got the car but it did have factory air .Good luck and happy bidding ! Vehicle will have to be picked up .US $ 500.00 within 24 hours of auction close .Full payment is required within 7 days of auction close.
On May-15-14 at 19:56:46 PDT, seller added the following information: eBay asked for mileage the 24,686 is what is on the odometer . The speedometer works , I imagine it has rolled over. |

Tanner Foust tackles 'Ring in SVT Raptor
Sat, 16 Mar 2013Here's a math problem: if Tanner Foust has a 24 hours to kill in Germany and one blue Ford Raptor, how long will it take him to decide he wants to lap The Nürburgring? Extra credit if you can get your answer precise to the millisecond.
A very truck-like and slidey lap of the 'Ring is exactly what happened when the Ford-sponsored rallycross driver took time off from set-up duties for his 'day job.' Thankfully no one even thought to worry about posting a time, but you can watch some Raptor skid marks getting laid down between the kerbs in the video below.
Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out
Wed, 11 Dec 2013With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
Ford invests $682 million in Edge-producing Canadian facility
Sun, 22 Sep 2013Ford announced that it's investing $682 million in its Oakville assembly plant in Ontario, Canada, to make it a global manufacturing plant, which the automaker also says secures 2,800 jobs there. Including this injection of cash, Ford has invested over $2 billion in Canada in the last decade, starting with nearly $1 billion for Oakville in 2004, and over $570 million for its Essex Engine Plant in 2010.
The move to make Oakville a global manufacturer of Ford vehicles means, "If consumers suddenly shift their buying habits, we can seamlessly change our production mix without having to idle a plant," says Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas.
Ford says that the latest investment will help it meet North American demand for the Oakville-produced Edge crossover, which is on track this year to beat 2007's US sales record of 130,000 Edges. The Ford Flex and Lincoln MKX and MKT are also manufactured at the plant.
