This car as u may recall was on a few weeks back. I have decided to go through with it, painful as it may be. If this isn't the nicest 61 around I'd be quite surprised. Super rare nautilus gray with red interior, and gorgeous. Original interior was black and white cloth, ugh. If u don't like attention, oohs and ahhs, this car is not for u. Rebuilt 390, runs fantastic. Just spent 1 k changing all gaskets. All gauges work, ac works and is ice cold. Clock works too. Top mechanism works flawlessly. Slaves, cylinders, motors, etc all redone. There are two by bass switches added, one for up one for down, in case the top mechanism fails. This enables the deck lid to open and close, bypassing the factory top button. Paint is flawless. Absolutely gorgeous metallic nautilus grey. Interior is the same. New carpet. No rips, cracks in seats or dash. Took an am-fm from a 63 and installed it ion this car. I have the original am if desired, although it needs repair. The car has won more awards than I can list. Best of show, best paint, best ford, etc. She took a second in the VTCI natl convention in 2010. Tires new, wheels have no rash. Alternator installed for better charging. I have the original generator if desired. Engine bay spotless. She spent the first 46 yrs in Texas until the owner got sick at which time it came to illinois. It was in 2006. A friend bought it and I pestered him for three yrs until he sold it to me. I have a mountain of paperwork, receipts, etc going back some 20 plus yrs. I have taken loving care of this baby. It is not ur ordinary 61 bird. It is truly spectacular. Driven mostly to shows and cruise nights only. In August, 2013, she was included and displayed in the Geneva, Il concours d'elegance. Quite an honor to be included. The car is so gorgeous that Jim Powers, who was on the design team for the 61 thunderbird wanted to buy it and add it to his collection. I have pictures of him with the car. He's prob 90 yrs old! Feel free to contact me with questions as I probably forgot something. Any offers can be discussed. Serious only please. Check the pics and u decide! Thanks and good luck. Forgot to mention The underside is clean as a whistle too....

Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company
Thu, 03 Oct 2013
That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.
Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out
Wed, 11 Dec 2013With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
Ford recalling nearly 5,700 2014 F-150s for power steering issue
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Ford is recalling 5,675 of its 2014 F-150 pickups over an issue with the electric power steering system. There haven't been any injuries or accidents due to the issue.
Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Autoblog that the "electric power-assisted steering and motor position sensor gear were incorrectly installed by a supplier," leading to the recall.
While the recall is larger on the surface, it's important to note that only 260 trucks have been delivered to customers. The remaining pickups are currently en route to dealers. The affected vehicles were manufactured between May 26 and June 19.
