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

2020 Ford Explorer safer than old model; crash test ratings short of Top Safety Pick

Mon, Dec 16 2019

The 2020 Ford Explorer three-row crossover has improved on the outgoing model in many ways. According to the IIHS, it has also improved in a number of safety categories, but not enough to earn a Top Safety Pick award. The culprit is not the headlight performance for once. The Explorer's headlights were given an "Acceptable" rating, which would be sufficient for Top Safety Pick, if not Top Safety Pick +. Where the Ford falls short is in the front small overlap driver-side crash test, in which it got the second highest "Acceptable" rating. The IIHS requires a "Good" rating in this category, whereas an "Acceptable" rating on the passenger side would be, well, acceptable for Top Safety Pick. According to IIHS, Ford will be reviewing the results to figure out what the issue is, and it will likely make revisions to future Explorers to improve the result. Other than the one test, the Explorer performed admirably. It received a "Good" rating in all other crash categories except the passenger-side small overlap that was not tested. Both its standard and optional forward collision prevention systems had the highest "Superior" ratings, with the standard one preventing a collision with a car at speeds of up to 25 mph, and the optional one avoiding a collision at 12 mph, and "nearly" preventing one at 25 mph. Headlights are rated as "Acceptable" and so is access to child seat LATCH anchors. Also worth noting is that the Explorer's crash test ratings apply to its luxurious twin the 2020 Lincoln Aviator, meaning it also doesn't get a Top Safety Pick rating. The forward collision system performed the same as in the Ford, and the only difference between the two was in headlight performance. The Lincoln's standard headlights, included on the base, Reserve and Grand Touring trims, have the second-lowest "Marginal" rating, but the optional headlights for those trims, and the standard ones on the Black Label trim, received the "Good" rating. Among three-row Explorer competitors, the Honda Pilot, Hyundai Santa Fe XL, Kia Telluride, Nissan Pathfinder and Toyota Highlander all have a Top Safety Pick. The Hyundai Palisade, Mazda CX-9, Subaru Ascent, and the slightly smaller Kia Sorento and Volkswagen Tiguan all have a Top Safety Pick +. As for Lincoln Aviator competitors, the Cadillac XT6, Infiniti QX60, Lexus RX and Volvo XC90 get a Top Safety Pick. The Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and two-row-only BMW X5 get the Top Safety Pick + rating. Related Video: Â Â Â

Ford E-Series chassis cabs and cutaways to survive mass Transit onslaught

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

In March 2013, Ford announced we'd be getting chassis cab and cutaway versions of the Transit. Since incoming Transit vans will soon be rolling over the grave of the E-Series van, it was assumed that all E-Series models would go six feet under as well. According to a report from PickupTrucks.com, however, that's not the case, the report claiming that the highly modifiable E-350 and E-450 chassis cab and cutaway versions will continue being produced in Avon Lake, Ohio "at least until 2020."
Being decades old, the be-cabbed E-Series platform has found its way under an army of heavy-duty shuttle buses, work truck and ambulances. Ford spokeswoman Jessica Enoch verified the production horizon, telling Autoblog that the particular E-Series configuration "are a higher GVWR than the Transit chassis cab and cutaway (available this summer), which is more Class 2 and a new segment for us." So there you have it.
