This is a great 1961 Ford Thunderbird in triple blue. The car runs and drives great and has the factory 390 motor with original automatic transmission. I was told by the previous owner that both the motor and transmission were rebuilt recently. It is very clean in the engine compartment and there are many new parts such as voltage regulator,windshield washer bag, coil, water pump, ect which leads me to believe that it was all re-done. The interior is super clean with re-upholstered front and rear seats and newer carpet. The headliner is original and looks awesome. By the looks of the brake pedal pad and the headliner I think there is alot of credibility to the prevoius owner's statement that the car has original miles. Odometer says 59,944.....

The car has had alot of recent work including new brakes,wheel cylinders, rubber brake lines, shocks, new wide white walls, gas tank cleaned out, new fuel lines and filter, and much much more. All the lights work and wipers, dome light, door light even the cig lighter works. The paint is bright and shiney and looks great, it is not perfect and has some blems here and there. There are some nic's on the pass door from door opening on it, a couple small bubbles but over-all nice. If you have a paint guy that is good with fixing small inperfections and then blending paint back in then its a easy fix. There is a small area on the left rear quarter that has surface rust, not a hole or anything just where the paint chipped off. Once again a easy fix for a good paint man.

There is a real nice and expensive Ford "Thunderbird" aftermarket radio already installed in the car. I forgot to take pictures of the trunk but will add them later, its a clean as under the hood. This is a great driver quality car that looks great and everybody loves when im out driving it. This car can be taken to the final level of "show car" with a litte polishing and cosmetic work. All the hard and expensive stuff has been done. This is the only one i've ever seen with this color combo and i love it. Almost all your 61-63 Birds are a standard white, red, black or cream color. This is a very unique car and screams class.

I want to make it very clear that this is not a show car. If it were a # 1 condition car then i would'nt be selling it as cheap as my low reserve is. The reserve is very low for a car of this quality. This car has small inperfections in the paint that can be easily fixed without having to paint the whole car. The paint stands tall and looks great. This is a awesome driver quality car that has had well over $12,000 in restore work done. If you are looking for a 100 point car then you will need to look at Birds in the 25-30K range. This is a great compromise because its a fraction of that cost but still stands tall and is very neat and tidy. Please do not bid if you are not sure you want to own this car. Ebay charges alot of money to vehical seller's and that last thing we want is a non-paying bidder. Im sure you understand.

I have tried to basically under-sell the car because i do not want any misrepresentation and would rather make the car sound worse then it is and not have any problems when the new owner comes to get the car. It really is a very nice car, just not museum quality yet. There are a few things that i will try and fix before the end of the auction. The radio works fine but i don't like the way the wires are run so i am going to re-route, also the brake lights stay on occasionally,probaly the switch and there is a exhaust leak somewhere that i have to find. If i have enough time this week or weekend I will try to find and repair those items. I work 60 hours a week so I cant guarantee that those small items will get done. I just took the car on a 200 mile road trip and it did great. The newer tires are "period correct" wide walls bias ply are are great around town but bias ply don't like the interstate over about 65 mph.

This is just a great car and I will hate to see it go. This is a turn key car and one that you can drive as you finish the "fine detail" work that it needs. Please feel free to call me with any questions at 706-218-4028. My name is Christopher. Oh and I live in Georgia which does not issue titles for cars older than 1975, I will give you a notarized bill of sale along with the Georgia tag reciept that is in my name. If you live in a "title" state then they have to recognize georgia's paper work and they WILL ISSUE YOU A TITLE. Ive been thru this before with out-of-state'ers and know what you need to get your title, no problem......MAY TRADE FOR ANOTHER PRE-1972 VEHICAL OR COOL MODERN CAR OR TRUCK.

Last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible nets $500k for charity at Barrett-Jackson [w/video]

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

The last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible was sold on Saturday at a Barrett-Jackson auction in Reno, Nevada, for $500,000. Ford donated the Mustang to be auctioned for charity, and all of the money is going to the Brain Injury Association of America.
Parnelli Jones, winner of the 1963 Indianapolis 500, was there on behalf of the BIAA with his son Page, who suffered a brain injury in a sprint car crash in 1994. The bidding increased quickly, reaching $500k in no time, spreading a bit more hope to people who live with brain injuries.
The winning bidder will be able to choose the GT500's exterior, interior and stripe colors, and is scheduled to receive the car, signed by Parnelli Jones in appreciation for the donation, by the end of 2013. Watch the video below to see the auction-block action.

A tribute to William Clay Ford

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

The passing of William Clay Ford has been a big event for the company he spent most of his life helping run. Ford spent 57 years working for his family's company. Considering the Blue Oval has been around for over 100 years, WCF's passing is the end of an era for the Dearborn-based manufacturer.
Ford's YouTube channel has issued a short memorial video highlighting the life of the longest-lived grandson of company founder Henry Ford. It follows William Clay from his time as a boy, showing him alongside his grandfather, through his younger years, and into his twilight, as the patriarch of the Ford family.
Take a look below for this touching memorial video on William Clay Ford.

Ford starting up 2.0L EcoBoost engine production in Ohio

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Joe Hinrichs, Ford's President of The Americas (pictured above), announced today that in late 2014, the automaker will be building the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder at its Cleveland Engine Plant, a move requiring a $200-million investment and the hiring of 450 new employees. European-built Ford products will continue to source this engine from the Valencia, Spain plant where all of these EcoBoost four-cylinder engines are currently built, and the new Cleveland engines will be used for all North American-made models.
Ford is planning to build its popular EcoBoost engines regionally to maximize production capacity and meet customer demand. Last year, Ford sold 334,364 vehicles with EcoBoost engines in the US alone, and that number is expected to swell to more than 500,000 by the end of this year, with global sales expected to total 1.6 million. By 2015, Ford says that 95 percent of its nameplates will offer an EcoBoost engine.
One such vehicle that could be adding an EcoBoost engine, according to Automotive News, is none other than the 2015 Ford Mustang. The report says that Ford could use either the 2.0-liter EcoBoost or an upcoming 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the sixth-generation pony car.
