1962 Thunderbird Convertable on 2040-cars
Marshall, Texas, United States
|
I am selling my 1962 Thunderbird convertible as I do not have time to drive it or restore it as I had planed. New house, kids work and another project vehicle. I have had this car for 5 years . I have replaced the brake drums and pads, new fuel tank, a couple of the convertible top electrical relays, water pump and fuel pump (Last month). The carburetor was sent of to Pony Carburetors in New Mexico for a complete rebuild about 1500 miles ago.This has been a good driver car but here is a list of issues or things needing replacement or repair. Needs all new tires, needs all new weather striping primarily on the soft top. The top itself has just recently decided to not come up from the down position. I think it is a relay for the main deck lid motors are turning. The Generator is not charging well. Interior is in great (not perfect) condition. No rips or tears or cracks. The car is black on black with a light blue top that is also in great condition. The rear window is a bit discolored. It has electric windows that all work, but.....when it hasn't been driven in a while and cold, the two small passenger windows seem to be real slow or stuck. May just need cleaning. Odometer shows 4205 miles but I doubt its original. This car is originally from Northern California. I believe it was restored back in late 70's or early 80's. Looks like there was a repair to the right rear quarter panel back then. has a little wave to the panel. It runs very good once warmed up. I am selling it as is where is with no warranty. I have been as honest as I can and hide nothing. If you have any question message me on here and I will do the best I can to answer. Buyer is responsible for all shipping or storage fees. I can keep in my barn for a while but not overly long at $20.00 a day after auctions end. I require $500.00 to be deposited at auctions end to my account and full payment within 3 days and before pickup. If help is need for shipping arrangements I will be happy to help. Thank you Bruce |

Ford will build Hackmobile out of Transit Connect Wagon
Fri, 27 Dec 2013What you see in the above image is a rendering of the Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon. What is that? It's a "mobile fabrication and hacking unit" that includes tools for metal- and woodworking, 3D and electronics fabrication, a three-axis CNC machine called "The Fabber," a video projector and screen, an air compressor, an 84x48-inch work surface that folds out like a Murphy bed and oh so much more. When not in use, all of the implements fold neatly into the back of Ford's award-winning van.
But perhaps the more important question is why is that? Because Make Magazine held an Ultimate Maker Vehicle Challenge in conjunction with Ford in which ten teams created were charged with creating "the ultimate Ford Transit Connect Wagon for the do-it-yourself enthusiast." Team Twin Cities Maker won the competition with the Hackmobile, and in addition to winning $10,000, Ford has declared it's actually going to build the thing - which is great, because if they can actually engineer a road-legal Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon as envisioned, the inevitable A-Team movie reboot might need to think about including it.
Check out the video below for a cheeky walk-through of the Hackmobile, and get all the particulars in the press release below that.
Mulally confirms he's not leaving Ford for Microsoft
Tue, 07 Jan 2014In recent months, rumors had been flying about Ford CEO Alan Mulally potentially leaving the company to take a position at Microsoft. Last we heard, Mulally was planning to stick around at Ford through at least 2014, and in an interview today, that bit was confirmed by the CEO himself.
According to the Associated Press, in a report from The Detroit News, Mulally said he will not be leaving Ford for Microsoft, and reiterated that he will remain at the Blue Oval through 2014, if not longer. Mulally has "no plans other than to serve Ford," according to the report.
Mulally did not say whether or not he had been in talks with Microsoft at any point. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said he plans to leave the software company sometime this year.
New car market raining on convertibles' parade
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.
