Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"90% frame-up restoration, Original California Car, 2nd owner, no rust. Dependable and fun to drive.."

This is a beautiful example of a classic 1960 Thunderbird Convertible. Mechanically rebuilt engine, trans, new brake lines, new fuel lines, headers and new dual exhaust system with a sweet tone. Carburetor replaced with an Edelbrock for dependability. This is a California Car, purchased at San Jose Ford in Nov/1959, and is 100% rust free. It has been garaged for it's whole life, and loved by both of it's two owners.

This car is appreciating very dramatically as the market begins to realize how few of them exist in great condition. If I wasn't planning on leaving the country, there is no way I would sell this, but I must.

This was one of Fords first unibody constructed passenger vehicles, allowing for a much lower-to-the-ground, sleek look. Because they were unsure of how strong it would need to be to support a convertible top, a necessary feature for a T-bird, Ford made the frame of this car absolutely bulletproof and far stronger than they needed to be. This fact became evident to the demolition derby racers of the 1970's and 80's, and huge numbers of these cars were sacrificed to this end...contributing to the rarity of solid cars available today. The classic car market is just becoming aware of these facts, and, as an example, a 1960 Thunderbird Convertible, with a 15 year old restoration just sold at Mecum Auctions in Monterey for $34, 950. Mecum has sold others in showroom fresh condition for as much as $70,000.

This car has been rebuilt for dependability. You could feel comfortable taking this on long trips, or using as a daily driver.

It also comes with everything you need to return it to a numbers matching original car. I am the second owner. I have the original wheels, tires and hubcaps, original exhaust manifolds, carb, generator, and "cruise-a-matic" transmission..(has a C-6 now-much better transmission)

The interior has been completely redone with two-tone leather and a factory fresh dashboard cover. The original tube AM radio works!

She drives like a dream and loves the freeway...everywhere I go, heads turn! I'll miss her.

Ford Escort testing, may be bound for Europe

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

There has been little news about Ford's China-focused Escort concept since debuting at last year's Shanghai Motor Show, but the no-frills sedan has shown its camouflaged face again during cold weather testing in Northern Sweden. While far from a guarantee, the test location might hint that the Blue Oval plans to market the car outside of Asia.
The Escort's black robe and zebra paint make it hard to tell if anything specific has changed about the design, but the shape of the sedan looks close to what was shown in Shanghai. Under the disguise, you can still make out the hexagonal front grille from the concept. When Ford announced the model, the company said that the design wasn't supposed to be "arrogant or pretentious," and it certainly achieved that. The engine range is still a mystery, but it seems safe to expect small, economy-focused powertrains.
A report from last year indicated that Ford may be considering broadening the new Escort beyond Asia and possibly even selling it in Europe. The fact that the company brought it to Sweden for testing could bolster that argument. A release date hasn't been set yet, but the automaker has promised 15 new products for China by 2015. The basic sedan could be on the road soon.

180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains

Wed, 21 May 2014

If you're planning on buying a new car in the next month or so, you might want to pick from what's on the lot, because there could be a long wait for new vehicles from the factory. Locomotives continue to be in short supply in North America, and that's causing major delays for automakers trying to move assembled cars.
According to The Detroit News, there are about 180,000 new vehicles waiting to be transported by rail in North America at the moment. In a normal year, it would be about 69,000. The complications have been industry-wide. Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Ford all reported experiencing some delays, and Chrysler recently had hundreds of minivans sitting on the Detroit waterfront waiting to be shipped out.
The problem is twofold for automakers. First, the fracking boom in the Bakken oil field in the Plains and Canada is monopolizing many locomotives. Second, the long, harsh winter is still causing major delays in freight train travel. The bad weather forced trains to slow down and carry less weight, which caused a backup of goods to transport. The auto companies resorted to moving some vehicles by truck, which was a less efficient but necessary option.
