I have listed this car a few times. It starting making a noise that I thought was a header leak (still not totally convinced it isn't), however, did a fresh oil change, changed plugs, etc.. Still has noise but it appears to have developed a miss, checked the obvious things and it is getting spark, checked timing, it is good. I am not going to do anymore with it, it will drive it just isn't running good. It could be something as simple as bad gas in it as I never did do a total drain on it since it had sat for years.

It's a 1977 Ford Thunderbird that was my grandfathers. It has very low miles for the year, it is loaded with I believe every option that was available for these cars (excepting the Landau). It does need some TLC, he had it sitting under a carport but it still ended up getting some rust spots especially around the trunk lid and some on the lower quarters. The top will need replaced as well. It starts and runs (other than the miss) and drives out fine. If it sits for a few days it is a bit harder to start than if you start it every day. It does need a fuel sending unit as the old gas had eaten away the old filter screen, we put a cloth to replace the screen but I would recommend buying a new sending unit with a new pickup screen. Other than that, everything works, heater blows and switches between floor and vent/defrost, headlight buckets work, the windows all roll up and down and the AC compressor cycles but blows warm air (probably needs a charge).

Overall, its a nice piece of Ford history with some TLC should be a good investment for the collector.

I am open to trades as well but they must be local trades that I can look at in person. Please be realistic with any trade offers.

Thanks for looking at the auction

Ford paying $750 million just to close plant in Belgium

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

According to a report from Reuters, Ford is shelling out $750 million in a severance deal that will see the automaker close its facility in Genk, Belgium. The automaker reached this deal with the 4,000 hourly workers employed at the plant last week, which means the company will pay out an average of $187,500 per worker.
Ford is still negotiating with the 300 salaried workers at the factory, which currently produces the Mondeo sedan. All told, Ford expects to lose around $2 billion in Europe thanks in no small part to the region's ongoing economic downturn, and two more plants are scheduled to be shut down in Europe this year. The company will log its $750 million payout under "special items" for this quarter.
As you may recall, Ford took a similar path in the US back in 2009 when the domestic market took a spill. Back then, the company shelled out around $50,000 per employee with at least one year of experience, plus either $25,000 toward a new car or an extra cash payment of $20,000. It would seem the cost of closing plants in Belgium is a much harder pill to swallow than in the States...

Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.

Barrett-Jackson 2014: First production 2015 Ford Mustang earns $300k for JDRF [w/video]

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

We've almost become immune to the huge dollar amounts that collectible cars earn for charity at Barrett-Jackson. To wit, $300,000 for the first production 2015 Ford Mustang initially didn't seem like very much money. In reality, though, it's probably about 10 times the actual asking price for the car, and we're pleased to report that 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
According to Ford, the car's winning bidder will get to "choose a fastback with manual or automatic transmission, and any interior, exterior and stripe color combination offered by Ford on the all-new Mustang." Power will come from a slightly revised version of the well-known 5.0-liter V8 engine that will produce "more than 420hp and 396 pound-feet of torque."
We snapped live images of the 2015 Mustang prototype that Ford had on display here at Barrett-Jackson, and you can check them out above. The official auction description, along with a video of the auction as it happened live, is below.
