1963 Ford Thunderbird Base Convertible 2-door 6.4l on 2040-cars
Post Falls, Idaho, United States
|
Hello, Up for sale is a 1963 Ford Thunderbird. It was once a hard top that was made into a convertible. It was done very nice and looks like it came from the factory. I was told this car sat in a Ford dealership as their show car after the top was cut off, so they never bothered fabricating the original top to go back on. I do have the original hard top if wanted with the purchase. I acquired this car only about a month ago and figured I would let the new owner decide if they wanted to have the old hard top put back on, or put a new soft top on it. I don't really know a whole lot about the car but it is a blast to drive. It sounds, looks and drives just beautiful. Everywhere I go people are taking pictures, waving and giving me a thumbs up. It's really a beautiful car!! I was told it had the 390 V8 engine and it has an automatic transmission. I had the brakes serviced and the oil changed and a complete inspection when I acquired her a month ago. Everything works great. All lights, signals, brakes, radio, dash lights, etc. All the power windows work good and fast except one wing window is off it's track. The transmission shifts very smooth and the car cruises awesome down the road. Really all it needs is a top and the window fixed. Some white wall tires would look great! It has the factory jack in the trunk and the under side of the car looks good as well. You will notice about five small paint chips around the car and some little scratches by the rear drivers wheel. There is one golf ball size dent in rear passengers side as well. Other than that it is very straight!!!! Put whatever top you want on it and enjoy a beautiful car at a fair price. Please feel free to email or call with any questions. I will try and answer as best I can. Thank you, Kevin 208.449.7859 Car is being sold "As Is" with no warranty This car is listed locally & I reserve the right to end this auction at any time |

Jay Leno is far beyond driven in his 1971 Pantera
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Perhaps it's fitting that the band Pantera is known for its heavy metal music, because the DeTomaso Pantera is the automotive equivalent of a metal album. It's short, aggressive and makes a mean sound. It doesn't mess around either, with a Ford 351-cubic-inch (5.75-liter) V8 sending mountains of torque to the rear wheels. This week, Jay Leno takes us on a detailed tour of his '71 to show why it rocks.
There's a regular format to Jay Leno's Garage. It starts with Jay and maybe a guest taking a look at the car and talking about its history, and then they take it out on the open road. However, this video is practically a Pantera buyer's guide. Jay is adamant from the start that the last thing anyone should own is a stock example. To remedy this, he and his guest, the editor of the Pantera Club magazine, take viewers to school about some of the ways to turn them into even better performance machines.
No matter what you do to it, though, the Pantera requires that the driver adapt to it, not the other way around. For example, Jay isn't a big guy by most standards, but he has to cram himself into the cockpit with his shoes off and shirt partially unbuttoned just to go for a drive. Still, once out on the road, it all makes sense with that rumbling V8 and those Italian supercar looks. Scroll down to watch and learn a lot more about this uncompromising '70s performance car.
Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.
Rowan Atkinson crashes at Goodwood Revival
Sun, 14 Sep 2014To quote Harry Hogge (played by Robert Duvall) in Days of Thunder, "rubbin, son, is racin'." That can mean some unfortunate damage to high-end racing machinery, which may be repaired easily enough in stock car racing, but when it comes to vintage racing, the stakes can be that much higher. And yet incidents do occur, like at this weekend's Goodwood Revival.
Among the many competitors taking part in the retro racing event in England was none other than Rowan Atkinson, the actor perhaps best known for playing Mr. Bean. Driving a classic Ford Falcon Sprint in the Shelby Cup event, Atkinson (pictured above at the 2012 revival) reportedly crashed head-on into another car on track.
According to reports, the two cars up spun out. The driver in between managed to avoid a pile-up, but Atkinson couldn't steer clear and hit the obstructing vehicle. Fortunately Rowan walked away unscathed (and, we imagine, in a humorous manner), but while we don't know how extensive the damage was to the Falcon, it was enough to take it out of the race.
