For sale is a beautiful 1963 Ford Thunderbird. I am the 3rd owner and got the car from a woman who drove it 300 miles a year for the past 30 years. It has been my daily driver for the past half a year but I'm a college student and could use the money.

Exterior: The paint is very nice, the only flaw is a small scrape on the passenger door. The white stripe tires have 3/4 tread and all feature upgraded hubcaps. The car has all the trim and the chrome and rare emblems are in good shape. Very little pitting. All the lights work, parking/brake lights/head lights/highbeams. All registration and tags are up to date. The car has both original license plates and skirts. The body is extremely straight and all doors, trunk, and hood close solidly. The trunk features a hidden lock behind the thunderbird emblem. All glass is in tact.

Engine/Transmission: 390 Ford big block. Runs strong. Will cruise on the freeway at 70 mph all day. The power steering and power brakes allow for an extremely smooth ride. New spark plugs, spark plug wires, alternator, distributor, battery, radiator hose, etc. Everything else is original. It starts up the first time with ease. Recently changed oil and flushed transmission. The transmission was rebuilt about 10 years ago and shifts easily. There is a small leak coming from the middle of the transmission but the car is still driveable. The car is fairly quiet and has a single exhaust on the passenger side.

Interior: The upholstery is decent. The cab and trunk are lined with carpet and rubber mats and the door panels, seats, dash, and package tray are all upholstered.. The front two seats show signs of wear and are beginning to crack. The side-view mirror is electric and the car features working a/c and heat, odometer/speedometer, and original am radio. The window motors work but the switches in the center console are not currently hooked up. All interior trim and stainless steel are in good shape as well. Interior door lights, ceiling light, dash light, gauge lights, and glove box light works. Both doors and trunk lock. Unique to this generation and model is the swing away steering wheel. By lifting the shifter up, the steering wheel swings right from driving position to allow for easier access in and out of the driver's seat. The front two seats have aftermarket airplane style seatbelts installed that are easily removable to return to stock. The headliner is in very good shape as well. Everything is for the most part complete and original.

The car comes with a trunk-full of spare parts, trim, extra hubcaps, jack, etc.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.

Ex-PR chief Vines accuses Ford of bugging cars, phones

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Jason Vines, former head of communications at Ford among other automakers, is accusing the Blue Oval of bugging his company phone and his car during the Firestone tire recall for the Explorer in 2001. The allegations have come to light in Vines' upcoming book What Did Jesus Drive? Crisis PR in Cars, Computers and Christianity.
According to The Detroit News, which has an advance copy of the book, Vines (pictured above) claims that after leaving the company, someone with security within Ford advised him that he had been bugged around the time of the recall. The allegations don't stop there, though. Vines further contends that he might not have been the only one to get this treatment, noting that then-general counsel John Rintamaki also believed he was being listened to.
According to The Detroit News, even if it had been a company phone, recording Vines without his knowledge still would have been a felony under Michigan law.

George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]

Sun, 20 Jan 2013

Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.
