Up for auction is a running 1979 Ford Thunderbird sold completely AS-IS. I'm an honest guy so I'll tell you guys exactly what is going on. My feedback is not over 400 and 100% without a reason... I purchased this car from a friend because I thought I was going to restore it and make it nice and shiny..life such has other plans, and just started a new job that will take all of my time. I tried to fit it in with my schedule but working 50+ hours a week and dealing with NJ traffic will leave me no time to work on this..at all.. it was a nice idea, but unfortunately not for me. Now for the details the car is a 302 V8 and runs drives, and shifts. My friend put a brand new battery in it that cost him a hundred bucks just to bring the car to me and is in the car at the present. The tires look decent. The headlights work as do the directional lamps and the light covers go up and down. The inside appears to be green leather and the driver part of the bench is torn. The horn works. The body is surprisingly dent free except the back bumper in which the previous owner backed into something and pushed it in on the driver side (see pictures). The engine runs smooth and starts up every time, and shifts with no loud clunks. The bad is that the odo stopped working around 5000 miles ago. It has 122k miles on the odo at the moment but the real mileage is closer to 127k. Unknown why it stopped working but my friend said one day he noticed it stopped and didn't want to rip open the dash. I don't blame him. Also A/C doesn't work. (Can you really be surprised)..

 Now this is ebay and I'm sure some of you are saying I don't believe that but that is what he told me and he is a trust worthy guy. I know that isn't enough to gain anyone's trust so I have decided to just put the auction up with no reserve and just see what it sells for. Other than that it is missing the directional turn signal cover on the front driver side (signal still works), and the dome light inside the car is missing the cover. The ALT light is on the car, but it has always been on according to my friend and didn't affect performance, again if an expert knows what the deal is, bid accordingly. That is all i have looked out so far with the car. This is why it is being sold AS-IS. The car runs drives, and starts up every time. Please listen carefully to this part though. IF YOU REALLY WANT THIS. I MEAN REALLY REALLY REALLY want this, read this carefully and know that I am a busy busy busy man now with my new job. I do not have time to deal with people bailing on this auction. This will most likely sell for very very cheap, so know that this is most likely a PROJECT CAR, even though it runs and drives it is from 1979..KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING INTO. I wish I could have told myself this before buying it. You will have to invest time in this to make it looking like a show car. If you want a good running Ford Thunderbird and have an EYE for RESTORATION projects. This is a good start. There is very slight rust on the car, nothing debilitating.

Look at the pictures, do some soul searching, but please..PLEASE PLEASE...do not waste my time. I honestly don't care if it sells for 450 dollars.....at least know what you are getting into..

REMEMBER..AS-IS AS-IS... I REPEAT... AS...IS

Payment and Pickup.. A car that will sell this cheap, needs to be picked up, now im sure some t-bird owners out there really need the parts from this vehicle, but shipping this car will probably cost more than the car sells for, so please just pick it up. As far as the payment, I put a 75 dollar paypal deposit, the rest will be paid in cash. I really didn't want to put a paypal deposit but the fact there seems to be TONS of non paying buyers on the ebay motors world, it leaves me no option. A 75 dollar deposit is due in 24 hours of auction close.

Marchionne open to combination with Ford or GM

Fri, Mar 13 2015

At the depths of the auto industry implosion, there was widely reported talk that General Motors and Chrysler would be merged into a mighty import-beating behemoth. While such notions clearly never materialized, that doesn't mean the idea is dead. In fact, FCA boss Sergio Marchionne still welcomes the idea of a partnership with either GM or Ford. He responded positively to the idea, calling it "technically feasible," when asked about it at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, Automotive News reports. "There's bantering that goes on all the time," Marchionne told AN, before quashing suspicions that a plan was in the works by adding that "nothing substantive" was going on. Our favorite black sweater enthusiast isn't quite as interested in the idea of teaming with a foreign manufacturer like PSA Peugeot Citroen, or in the rumored tie-up with Volkswagen, though. That is a shame, particularly in regards to Marchionne's shut down of a partnership with the French, although it isn't necessarily surprising – FCA already consists of eight automakers, and as Sergio told AN, there's really nothing at PSA that could help the company out. What are your thoughts? Is there an obvious project or segment that would benefit from an FCA partnership with Ford or GM? Have your say in Comments.
