You are bidding on a rare 2003 Ford Thunderbird 007 Special Edition. This is number 37 of 700 total produced. This one-owner car has only been driven 5670 miles and has been stored in a climate controlled garage when not in use. This car has never been involved in a collision and there are no dents or scratches. This car comes with 2 tops. The hard top has never been off the car and the soft top has never been up. The boot, hardtop Stand and cover for hardtop, and other accessories are still in the manufacturers plastic bags in the trunk. I have the original window sticker and the original bill of sale! I have compiled a notebook of pictures and documentation that will be invaluable to a collector. This car will only get more valuable in the future! The first 2 pictures were taken when the car was new, but all others are current pictures.

A Short History:
This car is a representation of the 2002 Thunderbird that appeared briefly in the anniversary Bond movie "Die Another Day" starring Pierce Brosnan as James Bond and Halle Berry as Jinx. Halle was the driver of the Thunderbird in the movie. The movie premiered in the USA on November 22, 2002. It's reported that the original car was offered to Halle but she turned it down opting instead for an Evening Black 2002. Wonder what happened to the original? The car in the movie had a coral top instead of the white top offered with the special edition and was a 2002, not the 2003 that the edition comes as.

Known facts now that the model is out of the factory: Ford had a sweepstakes for an 007 to go along with the opening of the "Die Another Day" movie. It ended December 2002. The first cars were officially "bucked" right after Christmas and started appearing in dealer's showrooms by mid January, 2003. Production of the 007 ended sometime in March. All 700 were built and some were prepped early for shows in Europe. It is believed that 694 were sold and 6 used for shows.

This limited editon features chrome 21-spoke wheels just like the Neiman Marcus editions had for 2002. The seats are a solid "performance white" colored leather. The doors are trimmed with white "wings" and the lower part of the dash is white. There is a "007" badge on the metal trim across the dash above the glove box. The hardtop color is "performance white." The steering wheel and shift knob are covered with "black ink" leather, a departure from the other "full accent" interiors. The transmission has the select shift automatic (an 03 option) and the 3.9L, 280hp engine which is standard for the 2003. Each 007 car has their own special plaque in the glove box, serializd from 001 to 700.

MSRP was $43,995

This car is also known as the James Bond Special Edition or Bond Girl Special Edition, or identified with the actress Halle Berry.

Ford 1.0L takes third-straight International Engine of the Year award

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost is proving to be The Little Engine That Could, and it continues to acquit itself well, finding favor as one of the best powerplants in the world. To confirm it yet again, the tiny mill just won the International Engine of the Year award for the third year in a row, likewise also nabbing the title in the Sub 1.0-liter category.
Packing 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque with overboost (125 lb-ft normally), the tiny engine combines impressive power in a size small enough to be a carry-on item for a commercial flight. US buyers only got a taste of the award winner in the 2014 Fiesta, while the 1.0 EcoBoost has been available throughout the Ford lineup in Europe for a few years now. American sales have reportedly been strong, however, and next up in the US, the mill will find its way into the 2015 Focus.
The panel of 82 jury members from 34 countries also named the Mercedes-AMG 2.0-liter turbo found in the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG models with 355 hp and 332 lb-ft as the best New Engine for 2014. The electric powertrain from Tesla won Green Engine prize, and the 4.5-liter V8 from the Ferrari 458 Italia took home the honor of top Performance Engine yet again. You can check out all the winners below, and scroll down further to read Ford's celebratory announcement of its award.

Ford wants smart cruise that's speed and grade sensitive

Thu, Jul 23 2015

Ford is working to make adaptive cruise control even smarter and more economical for future vehicles. The automaker now has a patent (pdf link) on a system to use information on the grade of the road, traffic data, and a driver's preferences to eke out better fuel mileage over a journey. This solution would essentially put a little hypermiling right into a model's software. The Blue Oval's patent refers to this tech as "route navigation with optimal speed profile," and the system starts by splitting the way to the driver's ultimate destination into many smaller pieces. Each one is analyzed based on GPS data, and traffic info is also constantly updated. Based on the occupants' preferred travel time, all this info is combined to figure out the most efficient speed for each leg of the journey. All of these calculations are actually more than the car's computers can handle, so some of the math is offloaded to a cloud-based network. According to Ford, some of the benefits come when tackling hills while diving. Maintaining a single speed when going up and down steep grades isn't the most efficient method, but current technology can't easily make the necessary adjustments. This system uses the GPS data to adapt the vehicle's speed and leave the situation with better fuel economy. Ford is currently making major investments into autonomous driving technology and has some prestigious partners. While the patent documents don't specifically mention the optimal speed profiles for driverless vehicles, they seem like a natural fit. Over the course of an entire trip, the fuel economy gains would likely be even greater than over a few miles on a relatively flat interstate.

Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.
