I purchased this car in 1999 with intentions of driving it and restoring it. About 6 months after I purchased it I was idling at a stop light and it stopped running. The timing chain was replaced with new timing gears. The replacement gears are metal. The car has been sitting in storage for the last 15 years on an asphalt pad. It will need to be gone through. I start it and drive it short distances to get fuel or the oil changed or get it washed. It has back registration fees of $639 and will need another $10 for a state inspection plus smog fees to put it on the road in California. Buyer is responsible for payment of these fees if vehicle is to be licensed in California. The Good: Glass is good. Dash is free of cracks. Interior is good and stock, headliner is like new. New parts: brake pads, spark plugs, wires, filters, timing chain & gears were replaced when I got it. Battery is about 6 months old. Master cylinder is new. Center caps: 2 are NOS, 2 look new but came with the car. Hood ornament and 'Thunderbird' lettering for above the glove box are NOS. Windshield wipers are new. Floors are solid. Stock radio. Car has always been in California to the best of my knowledge. There is a Moffett Field parking sticker on the windshield. Window tint is static cling and can be removed in about 5 minutes. The car starts, runs and stops. The headlights stopped working. Hi-beams still work. The rest of the lights work. The car still has most of its original paint. Has the factory ford turbine rims. I drove it 6 miles to get the master cylinder replaced. That said it is a 35 year old car that has been sitting for the last 15 years on an asphalt pad so it will need to be gone through. The Bad: The following are known problems with the car: The carb is original and needs to be rebuilt. It starts and runs but will stall after the engine gets warmed up. Windshield wipers do not work. They worked prior to parking the car. Tires are dry-rotting but still hold air. Small amount of surface rust on the driver's side pillar. Headlights stopped working after the car was parked. Hi-beams and the rest of the lights work. There is play in either the ring gear or the pinion gear- when you put the car into drive or reverse there is some play. It is not the u-joints. There is a hole in the drivers side carpet. Sensor for the brakes stopped functioning- brake light in the dash is on. Vacuum for the headlamp covers has a small leak and the headlights will open after a day or two. New battery 02/02/14. NOS speedometer cable. NOS center caps (2). The other 2 look new. NOS hood ornament. NOS dash emblem. NOS dome light cover. NOS rear bumper pad. New master cylinder 07/22/14. Antenna is in trunk. If you need other pics email me and I will send them. Thanks! |

USPS releases hot rod stamps to speed up your delivery
Sun, 08 Jun 2014After one of the worst winters in recent memory for much of the country, summer is finally here. It's time to drop the top, open the sunroof or at least put down the windows and take a long drive. The United States Postal Service is celebrating the season's sun in automotive style with two new hot rod Forever stamps.
Both stamps depict classic '32 Ford hot rods. One shows the car from the front at a low angle in red (pictured above), while the other depicts the car from the back in black with flames running down the side.
To introduce the new stamps on their first day of availability, the USPS went straight to the source at the National Street Rod Association Street Rod Nationals in York, PA. They were unveiled by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, Car Crazy host Barry Meguiar and NSRA Special Events Director Jerry Kennedy.
Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.
