1963 Ford Thunderbird Principality of Monaco Landau #1825 barn find! has been sitting in a garage for the last 20 years and started and drove outside and ran and then pulled back inside for save keeping,.. it has power windows, power seat (both sides) swing away steering wheel, AM/FM radio (works great) and air conditioning but I've never tried it before so I don't know if it works but belt is on an it spins free... was told it was an older restoration about 25 years ago and the guy wanted it black inside I guess that's why its not rose colored any more on the top, seats and dash, I have boxes of information that go with the car on what the guy did and extra parts that are in the trunk, bumpers are not perfect no more but look good and lower bucket seat covers are going to be needed... I replaced the started and drove it about 50 miles and it run and drives great even took it to a car show and got a trophy! the RH exhaust manifold is leaking and needs gasket but there is also a manifold for that side in the trunk as well.... here's a web site with info on Monaco's if you want to know more about them http://automotivemileposts.com/tbird1963limitededitionlandau.html
I guess this model is the "Holy Grail" for Thunderbirds

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
Mustang Cobra Jet prototype garners $200k for charity at Barrett-Jackson
Wed, 02 Oct 2013A few weeks ago we brought you news of a one-off Mustang Cobra Jet that Ford was donating to charity. The car was set to be auctioned off by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Now that auction has taken place, bringing in an impressive $200,000 for MS research.
That's a lot of zeros for a Mustang, much less one you can't even drive on the street. But the unique pony car, bearing serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1, packs a 5.0-liter supercharged V8, competition gearbox, wheelie bar, roll cage... all you could want, in short, in a turn-key drag racer. And all that for a good cause.
2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.
