Have a nice 1971 for Thunderbird for sale. Was planning on fixing it up and cruising it, but just don't have the time.

Need the money to fix up my truck.

Purchased it last summer at an estate sale in Nebraska. The owner was a retired mechanic that bought the car new and drove it until he couldn't drive anymore and the car was parked in the late 80's early 90's in a barn. There it sat for 20+ years.

I purchased it and had it taken to a local shop where they rebuilt the carburetor and cleaned the fuel lines and tank. It started, ran, and drove from there to my parents house awaiting me to come pick it up. This was last fall.

Now it cranks over, fires, but will not stay running for longer than 2 minutes. Not sure if it is a timing issue or vacuum leak. Might even be something else, but I don't have any experience with old car repair.

While in Nebraska the old brake lines cracked and car will no longer hold brake fluid.

It also has some rust behind the rear quarter panels, but overall the body is in good shape and solid. The interior is amazing!!

It has the original 429 Thunderjet Big Block V8. The cousin to the Boss 429 and 429 Cobra Jet. Kaase Engines uses these blocks to make their Boss 429 Racing Engines.

This TBird is loaded with options. Power Windows, Power Drivers Seat, Cruise Control (buttons on steering wheel), Automatic Climate Control, and many more. Most I didn't even know were available in 1971.

$500 deposit and contact me to arrange pick up (payment) of car within 48 hours after auction end. Will need to have car picked up within 2 weeks of auction end. Car does not run and will need to be towed from Midland, Texas. I will release Title once the payment has posted to my account. I have clear Nebraska Title, Registration, and Insurance on the T-Bird.

Social media star Scott Monty leaves Ford

Thu, 22 May 2014

It seems weird to think that an automaker could have a social media star, but Ford does. Or at least it did. Scott Monty, its Global Digital Communications Manager, led the company's team for almost six years and forged a reputation as being one of the most talented people in corporate social media. But the guru recently announced that he would be leaving the automaker for an undisclosed job elsewhere.
"I just decided the time was right. I am going to take a little time with my family, and I am going to start on a new adventure pretty soon," said Monty in an interview with AdWeek. He also explained a little about his theory of how companies should use social media. In his opinion, it should be a chance to go beyond standard marketing and build a relationship with people. Businesses need to have a broad focus for its online message, and using just one service isn't enough to be successful.
Under his guidance, Ford expanded its Facebook presence significantly. According to AdWeek, it launched the 2010 Explorer on the popular site. Also, when the company wanted to investigate selling electric models, it initially gauged the public's reaction on Facebook and then advertised them there first. Monty has been a major supporter of Twitter as well to broaden the company's communication with the public.

Ford Fiesta ST GRC Racecar is hungry for podiums in 2013

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

As we reported earlier, the Chicago showing of this plucky Ford Fiesta ST GRC racer points to bigger and brighter days for Global RallyCross. For the upcoming season, you can expect to see Ken Block and Tanner Foust both driving the Ford racecar, and if last season's results are any indication, you can anticipate quite a few podium appearances, as well.
The Fiesta seen here was built by the Swedes at OlsbergsMSE, and will be driven in anger by Foust in 2013. Modifications are, as you'd expect, extensive, and include an engine, exhaust and braking upgrades, a racing style short-throw shifter and a limited-slip differential. As you can see, the car has been fully stripped out and caged for maximum speed and safety, too.
Refresh your memories with the details of the car, in the press releases below. And if you head out to the Chicago Auto Show this year, don't forget to drop by the Ford stand to have a look.
