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. |

Watch Ken Block's scary Rally America crash from inside the cockpit
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ken Block became famous for his series of Gymkhana videos, but he's a real racer in his own right. Block has competed many rounds in the FIA World Rally Championship and also rallied in the 2013 Rally America series. He nearly won that latter title last year - if not for a massive crash in the final event of the season.
Block and his co-driver Alex Gelsomino went into the Lake Superior Performance Rally needing a win to take the championship. However, missing a clump of dirt on the side of the road and one little word in the pace notes was all it took to catapult Block's Fiesta off the road and into a tumbling accident. Block says his initial reaction was anger because the crash came out of nowhere.
For 2014, Block is joining the FIA World Rallycross Championship for at least three rounds. He'll drive a Ford Fiesta for the Hoonigan Racing Division at the Norwegian, French and Turkish events of the 12-round championship. Former Formula One World Champion Jacques Villeneuve will also compete in the series.
Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.
