1961 tbird. We lost our home to a fire and due to our bank allowing the insurance company to close our loan with only cash value policy we have been left to rebuild mostly by our weekly paycheck. We have two young boys who told us they just wanted their home back for Christmas, so I'm selling everything I have left to try and make that happen.
Your help is appreciated more than you will ever know. God Bless. If your a local, Licensed electrician or plumber we are in need of your services for roughing in. Please email your contact info. We can barter. I will be adding details about car tonight, I'm trying to get it listed before it gets to late so check back in the morning for car details. Thank you. FULL DETAILS 1961 Thunderbird with rebuild 302 and tranny. New exhaust, new wiring harness, new fuel tank. Car was stripped and fully epoxy coated in engine compartment, interior floor pans and firewall, trunk, undercarriage. ENGINE We just installed a new distro with internal module and electronic advance. Its small and very clean, only three wires! Really clean up the engine compartment. New brake booster, chrome, was just installed as well. Essential wiring to coil, distro, starter, battery are all run from the new wiring harness. Also the wires going to other areas are run to that area and ready to be terminated at those points, very easy and the booklet that came with wiring harness is included as are the zip ties, headlight terminals, and other various parts. Fuel pump is hooked up as well. Car will start up and runs great, may need fine tuned with timing at some point as it was done all by ear and not a timing light. Will self load on a trailer! INTERIOR Original interior is in good shape for the most part. Back seat is stiff, it will need redone at some point. Dash was stripped as we normally paint our dashes, so it can be finished as a painted dash or have it recovered, your choice. The old radio hole was modified and welded to fit a modern cd player. New wiring harness fuse box is mounter and key switch is wired to start from key. No other dash items are wired but the wiring is routed and ready for termination at its destination. BRAKES Brakes were done a while back but i decided to upgrade to disk conversion on front. The $650 kit is still in the box brand new ready to install. It requires a proportioning valve to complete the installation. BODY & PAINT Body work and paint was done before I purchased the car but was done very well in my opinion. However, we noticed that the hood did not close good because it hit the air cleaner. We have added a larger scoop and blended it to hood. It needs a putty cote and primer to be paint ready. Original owner went all blue, we were going to shoot the top half of entire car in black..included is enough PPG paint to paint and clear the entire top black. Trunk, Roof, Hood, tops of doors…everything above upper chrome trim is what i consider top of car. There are a few spots on bottom that look like rust, but it is not. The original owner sprayed about 4 inches of bottom with a rock guard before painted that to match car color, however if any of you have sprayed this stuff sometimes it clumps up. Instead of fixing it at that time they painted over it. To be sure I was right I did scrape off a spot and revealed I was correct. Any local paint shop can match paint and give you a can of touch up to repair that spot and any other small scratches that may be here or there. Its not a show car but looks very good to the average person. Only a paint and body guy is going to pick it apart. WHEELS/TIRES The wheels and tires are used but in good shape. The tires don't go flat and have decent tread left. Rims have a few road rash spots but mother major. They are offset with spacers to fit properly. I think that about covers it. If you have questions feel free to email me and I can give you my number if you want to talk. I am very honest and want you to know what your getting so please call and question everything! I can type all day, talking is always a better way to explain detail on cars. If your local your welcome to come check it out. Im working on my house so I'm always home. Thank you all for looking and God Bless ya! |

Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.
Ford F-250 boots Cadillac Escalade from atop thieves' most-wanted list
Tue, 09 Jul 2013The Ford F-Series has been America's best-selling truck for decades, but along with the good comes the bad, apparently. In addition to being popular with consumers, the Highway Loss Data Institute notes that the F-Series Super Duty has risen in popularity among thieves. Based on its new study, the four-wheel drive crew cab F-250 Super Duty has topped the list for the country's highest rate of insurance theft claims, knocking the Cadillac Escalade from the top spot - a distinction the luxury SUV has held since this annual report was first established in 2003.
To reach its findings, HLDI looks at theft data from the previous three model years (in this case 2010-2012) to determine the frequency of claims for a particular make and mode,l as well as the average payment per claim. As the report points out, the claims aren't always for the theft of the entire vehicle - they can include components (say, wheels and tires) or property taken from the vehicle. At seven claims per 1,000 insured vehicles, the F-250 is six times more likely to suffer a theft claim than the average vehicle.
The Cadillac likely dropped from the top of the list to sixth due to additional theft-prevention features including a steering wheel lock and inclination sensor for the alarm, but GM's other fullsize trucks and SUVs still occupy eight of the list's 10 spots. Some of the least stolen vehicles with below-average loss payments include the Lexus HS250h, Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V and Dodge Journey. Head on over to the HLDI's website for the full list that shows the most and least popular vehicles among thieves from 2010 through 2012.
Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
