DESCRIPTION
:  THIS AUCTION IS FOR A COMPLETE WORKING POWER SEAT TRANSMISSION, REMOVED
BY ME IN 2005 FROM A CLEAN, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 1960 THUNDERBIRD.  DON'T LET THE MINOR SURFACE RUST IN THE 1ST PHOTO FOOL YOU; THIS ENSEMBLE HAS NEVER BEEN STORED OUTSIDE OF MY GARAGE SINCE REMOVAL.  EVERYTHING IS THERE, INCLUDING THE PAIR OF QUIET ELECTRICAL MOTORS, WORM GEARS, METAL TRACKS, FRAME, 4 COLORED WIRING (COMPLETE HARNESS), RELAYS, SOLENOIDS, JUNCTION BOXES, AND POWER LEAD TO THE FUSE BOX.  SINCE TAKING THE PHOTOS, I'VE REPLACED MANY OF THE MACHINE SCREWS (WITH NEW ONES), AND WIRE BRUSHED & CLEANED CONNECTIONS, AND CLEANED THE WHOLE CONTRAPTION.  THE MOTORS AND WORM GEARS ALL WORK VERY SMOOTHLY, MOVING THE SEAT TRACKS IN 4 DIRECTIONS (INCLUDING FORWARD AND BACKWARD).  IT SHOULD FIT 1958 & 1959, BUT I'M NOT 100% POSITIVE.  I WILL ONLY GUARANTEE THAT IT FITS 1960, BECAUSE I'VE SEEN P/SEAT PARTS LISTED FOR '56 - '59 T-BIRDS ON EBAY.  I HAVE NUMEROUS OTHER PARTS THAT I WILL BE LISTING IN THE NEAR FUTURE FOR A '60, INCLUDING A NEAR-PERFECT (MINT) GRILLE, NOS PARTS, A POWDER-COATED AIR CLEANER, AND REAR CONTINENTAL KIT BUMPER (ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT FROM ANOTHER '60 THAT I REMOVED IN 1994).

PARTS CARS FOR THESE SQUAREBIRDS ARE GETTING EXTREMELY HARD-TO-FIND, SO A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR ONE OF THE RAREST OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN THESE CARS IS REALLY A BARGAIN.  IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED - WIRING AND ALL - JUST THE WAY IT WAS ASSEMBLED BENEATH THE DRIVER'S SEAT IN THE 1960 HARDTOP THAT I REMOVED IT FROM.  I HAVEN'T SEEN A JUNK '58 - '60 T-BIRD OFFERED FOR LESS THAN $5,000.00 IN A FEW YEARS.  

NOTE:  I HAVE A 2 MINUTE VIDEO SHOWING THIS UNIT WORKING EFFORTLESSLY, WITH ALL OF THE COMPONENTS ON DISPLAY.  I WILL FORWARD THIS TO THE BUYER AFTER PAYMENT IS MADE (FOR REASSURANCE).  I DON'T KNOW HOW TO POST THIS ON YOU-TUBE, BUT I KNOW HOW TO DO IT THROUGH YAHOO.  THE VIDEO WAS MADE WITH MY OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA.  MORE PHOTOS WILL BE UPLOADED TO THE AUCTION IN THE NEAR FUTURE (SHOWING IMPROVEMENTS)...  

SHIPPING/PACKING:  THIS CONTRAPTION IS HUGE!  IT IS ALMOST 22" WIDE, AND WEIGHS NEARLY 37 LBS. BEFORE PACKING (BY ITSELF).  INSURANCE IS INCLUDED IN SHIPPING QUOTE.  BECAUSE I'M IN THE CORNER OF THE COUNTRY, SHPG COSTS MAY BE A BIT MORE.  SETS OF LARGE HUBCAPS (AND LARGER ITEMS) MAY BE DIMENSIONALLY WEIGHTED (i.e., charged more than actual weight) BY UPS IN ANY BOX 16”x18”x18” OR LARGER (> 5183 TOTAL INCHES).  I DON’T CHARGE A SEPARATE HNDLNG FEE (FOR DOMESTIC SHPMTS), SO WHEN YOU SEE THE EFFORT I WENT THROUGH TO PACK THIS ORDER, YOU'LL THINK IT'S A BARGAIN.   I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING, IF ITEMS CAN BE SHIPPED TOGETHER SAFELY (by deducting approx. 50% of the lesser shpg cost for each additional item).  NOTE THAT EBAY’S SHIPPING CALCULATOR DOESN’T ADD THE EXTRA CHARGES IT COSTS ME FOR RESIDENTIAL DELIVERY, RURAL RESIDENTIAL, OUT-OF-SERVICE AREA, INSURANCE, AND FUEL SURCHARGE, AND I PAY A COMMISSION OUT OF THE SHPG PRICE.  SO I’M OFTEN UNDERSTATING THE ACTUAL OUT-OF-POCKET COST IN THE QUOTE.  THEREFORE, IT IS MY PREROGATIVE TO USE A DIFFERENT SHIPPER THAN THAT LISTED IN THE AUCTION (e.g., U.S.P.S. instead of U.P.S.), IF I FEEL THE ITEM CAN BE SHIPPED MORE EFFECTIVELY BY OTHER MEANS (i.e., more cheaply, or in pre-fab cartons, such as those used by U.S.P.S.).  I ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHARGE FOR ANY RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS THAT INCURS THE ADD’L “RURAL” OR “OUT OF NORMAL DELIVERY AREA” SURCHARGE.  THESE SURCHARGE COSTS RANGE FROM $2.75 TO $3.50 NOW!  RESIDENTIAL DELIVERY COSTS ME $2.80 ALONE, AND I ABSORB IT (DON’T CHARGE THE BUYER).  IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT ANYTIME: **********6one9-442-2800.  PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE IF I CAN'T GET TO THE PHONE!  THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR BUSINESS & COOPERATION...

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:  WELCOME!  IF THE SHPG QUOTE SEEMS A LITTLE HIGH, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING.  IT TAKES ME QUITE A BIT OF EXTRA TIME TO SEND A PKG OUT OF THE U.S.; A VERY NOMINAL HNDLG CHARGE’S BEEN ADDED.  I WILL SEND PHOTOS OF PACKAGING DETAIL (IF REQUESTED).

LAYAWAY OPTION & PAYMENT TERMS:  YOU MUST MAKE A PAYMENT FOR THIS ITEM (at least 50% down) WITHIN 48 HOURS.  I WILL ALLOW UP TO 30 DAYS (90 days, if pre-arranged) FOR THE BALANCE DUE TO BE PAID.  Thank you for your cooperation...

FEEDBACK:  MY REWARD IS THE SATISFACTION OF HAPPY BUYERS, AND MY GOAL IS TO ACHIEVE 5 STAR RATINGS.  THERE IS NO RATING FOR HOW WELL A BOX IS PACKED (CUSHIONED), AND THAT IS WHERE I EXCEL. IF THERE IS ANY DELAY IN SHPMT, PLEASE CONSIDER HOW WELL I PACKED THE ITEM(S), AND THE HOURS I’VE SPENT.  I’VE BEEN KNOWN TO DOUBLE-BOX, USE DOUBLE-WALL BOXES, & WRAP THINGS 3 DIFFERENT WAYS.  IN 34 YRS OF SHPG (OF EVERY VEHICLE PART AND/OR SHEET METAL/FRAME/BODY SECTION IMAGINABLE, AND WITH EVERY AIR OR GROUND CARRIER & TRUCKING FIRM YOU’VE EVER HEARD OF), I’VE RARELY EVER HAD A DAMAGED SHPMT!  I KINDLY & HUMBLY ASK THAT YOU LEAVE A RATING OF *****, IF YOU DO LEAVE A RATING.

FYI:  IN 2011, I DONATED ALMOST HALF OF MY YEAR’S EBAY SALES RECEIPTS TO THE JAPAN EARTHQUAKE & TSUNAMI RELIEF FUND…

Video: Chris Bangle delivers “Empowerment: Design without Designers” talk at Creative Mornings/London

Wed, 09 Nov 2011

Chris Bangle – the undisputed front man of car design – needs little introduction, so the prospect of the former BMW Design Director and now founder of Chris Bangle Associates giving a talk in our home town of London was too good to pass up. His presentation (which you can watch in full in the video to the left) touched on his time at BMW, but was more focused on the idea of empowering others to create: "design without you in the middle", as Bangle says. From the story of the co-creation of the staircase in his Italian studio to the idea of encouraging people to think about their culture when designing, his philosophies transcend disciplines.

CPP buys Zagato

Tue, 05 Jul 2011

Ferrari 550 GTZ - built by CPP In a move that seems to have received no coverage whatsoever, our favourite specialist car putter-together – CPP (Coventry Prototype Panels as was) – has quietly bought up Zagato. For those of you who are ‘Vlad Watchers’ this may come as no surprise. It seems that Vladimir Antonov is on a quest to buy up everything interesting there is to buy in the specialist car world (and Portsmouth FC too – no accounting for taste!), which includes funding CPP and its recent acquisitions.

Councils urged to shun yellow lines

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

COUNCILS are being asked to cut unsightly yellow lines as part of a Government drive to rid the streets of clutter. Local Transport Minister Norman Baker has urged local authorities to think about using restricted parking zones, instead of automatically opting to use yellow lines to control parking, particularly in single streets and environmentally-sensitive areas in towns and cities. Restricted parking zones require a limited number of signs which tell motorists if they can or can not park and during which times and are considered less intrusive than conventional yellow lines.
