Ford Thunderbird 1959 430 Coupe on 2040-cars
Eden, Utah, United States
1959 Ford Thunderbird 430 Coupe. This is a very clean, almost rust free, 430 Coupe. I have a clear, original, Utah Title, in my name. This Thunderbird was purchased by the previous owner for restoration. His plans changed and he decided to sell the car. The 430 Thunderbird Coupe is a relatively rare Thunderbird. Only around 1500 1959 Thunderbirds came from the factory with the 430 Lincoln Engine. Ford got into NASCAR during this time period, and used the 430 Thunderbird as Ford first stock car racer. In 1959, when Motor Trend Magazine picked their first "Car of the Year," the 1959 Ford Thinderbird 430 was selected. It is the very first Motor Trend Car of the Year. All "Squarebirds" have become very popular, but the 430 cars are growing in value. This car is clearly identified as a "J" car on the VIN and Title. It is not a clone. Please look closely at all of the photos. The floors are dry and rust free, the trunk is in excellent condition, and the doors, hood, and truck align properly. All the glass is good. The interior is in very good condition. The passenger's side door panel is in the trunk. The reserve on the car is very low.
I want to be sure the new owner knows exactly what they are getting. With this in mind, I will list the negative aspects of the car in detail. 1. The 430 Engine and C6 transmission come with the car, but are currently not in the car. (I don't think the 430 engine is the car's original motor, but there is no way to tell. The title and VIN numbers show that the car is a factory original 430 car.) 2. There are some minor missing trim pieces. These parts are readily available in several aftermarket catalogs. 3. The headliner has seam splits. 4. On the passenger's side front, lower, fender there is some rust showing. it is not serious, but it will need to be addressed. A $500. PayPal deposit is required within 48 hours of the auction closing, unless other arrangements have been made. If you have less than 5 positive feedbacks in your Ebay feedback score, please, email/message or give me a call. I want this to be a good, straightforward, auction. No scams, etc. My phone number is (801) 745-5835. Please look at my Ebay feedback. I highly value my 100% positive feedback from almost 700 different people. I'm not a dealer. I just love old cars and this Thunderbird is one too many. |

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
