Encino, California, United States
|
For Sale by Owner: 1965 FORD THUNDERBIRD (390 cid)
I bought this car 6 months ago for $3,000, Then spent another $1500 and two months of my time and energy to restore it. I purchased it from an older gentleman who bought it originally and owned it until 2009. He let it sit in his garage for a long time, until l came along and brought it back to life. Restoring has been going well, but now my job is relocating me and I need to move & own 3 other classics. This is a great project car for someone who wants to enjoy restoring a vehicle that runs good. Clean title. I have the rear fender skirts and original hub caps *(which are not in these pictures) located in the trunk It drives nice, needs exhaust gaskets, paint, carpet & some interior work.... Work I've done: Tune Up, Oil change, air filter, cap & rotor Rebuilt Carburetor Replaced Gas Tank Replaced Fuel Sending Unit Replaced Gas Nozzle tube Transmission serviced Fixed the wiring and dash lights, they light up really nice. Small fixes and straightened out a lot of misc details Detailed the engine compartment and used liquid dyes in the transmission and engine oils to trace & stop leaks I put about 2 months of work into this car to get it to run smooth and the next person can at least drive it or move it around while restoring it and not worry about jumping it and towing it. Battery keeps charge well. this car looks horrible without a paint job, but the body is completely straight. there are small normal surface rust areas above side rear molding *(see picture) this has always been a California vehicle. I prefer a local buyer who can come pick it up, but I am open to serious buyers elsewhere but BUYER PAYS FOR ALL SHIPPING/TRANSPORTATION COSTS. thank you for reading my page & good luck bidding. On Jun-09-14 at 20:54:38 PDT, seller added the following information: I added a few more detailed pictures of the front bumper & grill, the front driver's and passenger's floor boards and the trunk. A few updates: I replaced & installed a new master cylinder today. & I also bought an original Jack & tire iron and a tire - just needs spare rim. I'm going to keep working on it until someone buys it. The passenger floor board has a small hole *(size of a small pen) on the side, where I can see a spec of light. So there is a little rust but: When I had it up in the air & looked from underneath: it looks good but needs small patch work done on the passenger front side. Driver's side looks good, both sides has a little surface rust but does NOT need a total replacement of floor boards. The trunk is in nice condition & does NOT need rust repairing. Any surface rust on this entire vehicle is sandable and normal for this condition, which is really good for the way it has been preserved. I'm already into this car for twice what I listed it for, due to my need to sell it quickly >> I'm moving from a home to a townhouse... I have a 67 Continental convertible & 65 Impala and those cars are all I can handle right now.... Please message me for any other questions or you can call me at - 818 263 5570 Thanks On Jun-10-14 at 20:30:35 PDT, seller added the following information: After receiving more requests to upload pictures, I put the hub caps on and the rear fender skirts so everyone can see they are included and then took some more pictures so everyone can see how straight the body is. As I said I'm going to keep working on this vehicle until it sells. Thank you for the helpful tips and inquires, I hope this vehicle goes to someone who loves T-birds and finishes it the right way. |

Ford wins second consecutive Engine of the Year with 1.0L EcoBoost [UPDATE]
Wed, 05 Jun 2013For the second year in a row, Ford has taken top honors in International Engine of the Year voting. As was the case last year, it is Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that earns the automaker the accolade, achieving the highest-ever accumulated score in the 15 years that the award has been handed out.
A panel of 87 automotive journalists from 35 countries are responsible for choosing the world's best engines, and this is only the third time an automaker has managed back-to-back victories. Voters were impressed by the "Baby EcoBoost" engine's power output - 123 horsepower between 1,400 and 4,500 rpm, 148 pound-feet of torque from 1,400 to 4,000 rpm - and its compact size; Ford has demonstrated that the package is small enough to fit in the overhead bin of a passenger airplane.
Currently, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered in the European Fiesta, B-MAX, Focus, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, and Ford plans to put the engine in the Transit Connect, Transit Courier, Tourneo Connect, Tourneo Courier, Mondeo and EcoSport in short order. In North America, the Fiesta will be the first vehicle to offer the 1.0L EcoBoost later this year.
Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a lean, mean, Z/28-fighting machine [w/video]
Mon, 17 Nov 2014If there's one thing you can count on, it's that the renewed rivalry between the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro will never, ever cease. For every version of Ford's pony car, there's an equally potent Chevrolet. And so with the debut of the Camaro Z/28 earlier this year, Ford has responded with a track-focused 'Stang of its own, resurrecting the Shelby GT350 name.
It looks to be a fine piece of work, this Mustang, with power coming from a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V8 that will produce "more than 500 horsepower" and "above 400" pound-feet of torque. That grunt runs to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, and a Torsen limited-slip differential keeps everything in line.
But that's hardly the most impressive piece of the GT350 puzzle. Ford has increased the Mustang GT's chassis stiffness for duty here in the Shelby, and the coupe employs MagneRide damping which automatically adjusts based on road conditions and driver inputs. It's a first both for the Blue Oval and for the segment. And speaking of firsts, the GT350 uses a flat-plane crankshaft - something Ford has never included in a production V8 before.
Mustang GT350 reveal coming Nov 17?
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Ford looks to have something really big planned for the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Blue Oval has released the first of five teaser videos on the brand's performance heritage, and aside from some great images of racers over the years, the video includes a series of teaser images, the last of which points to November 17, 2014.
That's the day before press days open in LA, and considering the propensity of global automakers to plan lavish debuts the night before a major international auto show, it's a virtual certainty that Ford will be showing off some sort of special vehicle.
That'd be news in and of itself, but based on the images shown in Ford's teaser video - which include an Alcantara steering wheel, a "Powered by Ford" valve cover, aluminum pedals, sticky tires, a big, round exhaust tip, a honeycomb grille and a serious set of wheels - it seems very likely that Ford will be showing something performance oriented.
