This was my dream car; I like most Thunderbirds but especially like the '70 and '71 for that unique and distinctive Bunkie beak nose! I searched for a few years and in 2009 finally found one in decent shape with low miles from the estate of the original owner, an elderly Michigan woman. Unfortunately she stopped driving 13 years before and just parked it in her garage; it only had 69,000 miles then. When I got it, it barely drove and was in need of lots of basic maintenance. I'm selling because I blew out my lower back and since this car is very low to the ground, it is hard for me to get in and out. I've got over $7k in it; would like at least $5k (buy it now).
The car is sound and you can drive it 70+ mph without worries. Engine starts right up, just a little puff of smoke if it's been sitting for a few weeks otherwise clean exhaust; transmission shifts as it should. Plenty of power from the 370 hp 429 4bbl. Doors, hood, trunk shut with that nice solid thump. Little to no rust anywhere. Interior is nearly perfect. All the gauges, AM radio, fan work fine. Sequential tail signal lights work as they're supposed to. Originally optioned with the front amber running lights.
To get it driveable I did the following:
- new tires
- new coil springs front and back
- most of the dual exhaust, including mufflers, replaced
- new front suspension upper control arm bushings; otherwise everything else was very good; inspected and packed wheel bearings
- new brake master cylinder; otherwise front disk and rear drum brakes very good
- new gas tank, fuel gauge sending unit, gas lines, filters, rebuilt choke and 4 bbl carb (sitting 13 years ruined the whole fuel delivery system)
- new points, plugs, wires, distributor cap/rotor, coil, battery, alternator, voltage regulator
- every coolant hose, clamps replaced; flush and new coolant; new thermostat
- transmission filter and fluids flushed
Other work:
- I replaced the driver's side taillight lens and the red reflective plastic strip beneath; they were slightly cracked
- custom Thunderbird floor mats
- bought but have not installed the weather strips that go between the side windows
- bought but have not installed 4 new power window motors; I was going to do both projects at the same time
What I think still needs to be done:
- when I bought the car all 4 power windows worked but slowly; now only the front passenger window works, hence the new electric motors
- there is a small dent on the roof and the rear bumper's lower dust panel; I wanted to smooth those out, then paint the whole car; paint is ok, has a nice shine but there are a couple of blemishes

Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
