1963 Ford Thunderbird 2-door Coupe on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States
Selling a 1963 Ford Thunderbird two-door hardtop with a 390 V8 engine andautomatic transmission.It has been a California car from day one: my fatherpurchased it back in the mid-1960s, so if he’s not the original owner, the caris as close to a one-owner as you’re likely to see for a car of this vintage.The car runs and drives as it should, and the odometer reads 14823 miles. Myfather had the entire drive train rebuild back in the early 2000s, but becausehe was getting on in age and wasn’t driving much anymore, it has only a fewhundred miles on it since then. The car was painted at around that time (early2000s) in the original color, but will need it again. The body is otherwise ingood condition with virtually no rust or dents. The car also comes with the realwheel skirts. The brakes were completely redone in 2016.Apart from a split inthe driver’s seat upholstery that will need attention, the original blue vinylinterior is in very good condition. In the mid-2000s, my father had a mechanicfriend remove the door panels to fix a problem with the power windows; they arein the trunk. The car has AC, power windows, and power steering, and thesteering wheel shifts to the side for easy in and out. The car is all originaland complete (no missing parts, etc.) and would make an excellent, relativelyeasy and straight-forward restoration project for the right I just don’t have the time or skills to restore it myself, so Iam hopeful its next owner will give it the restoration it deserves. I have donemy best to describe the car as accurately as I can and will do my best to answerany questions you may have. Bear in mind that the car is sold as is where iswith no warranties expressed or implied. Title is free and clear and car iscurrently registered with correct vintage black and gold CA plates.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
The 1965 Ford Mustang could have looked a lot different
Fri, May 8 2020The 1965 Ford Mustang is unquestionably an automotive design icon, and nearly every generation of Mustang has some connection to that original car. Because it's such a universally-known vehicle, we were amazed to see all the different designs that were being considered. Head of Ford's archives Ted Ryan recently shared photos of design proposals for the original Mustang on Twitter that he and Jamie Myler found, and we reached out to them to find out more. As Ryan initially noted, the photos were taken on August 19, 1962, and they are proposals for the Ford Mustang. Apparently Ford had committed to doing a Falcon-based youth-oriented car at this point, and it did have plans to launch the car in 1964 for the 1965 model year. But after having little success with early design proposals, the company asked all of its design studios — the Advanced Studio, Lincoln-Mercury Studio and Ford Studio — to submit proposals. With only about two years before the planned launch, Ford was understandably short on time, and it's believed that the studios only had a month to create and present these designs. Lincoln-Mercury design proposal View 8 Photos The majority of the designs, a total of five, came from the Advanced Studio, and part of this was because they already had a couple of concept designs in reserve it could present. Two other models representing three design possibilities came from Lincoln-Mercury, and just one model with two options came from Ford. The Advanced Studio proposals are shown in the gallery at the very top of this article, and the Lincoln-Mercury and Ford proposals are in the gallery directly above this paragraph. The Advanced Studio's most radical design is the one that was clearly related to the Mustang I concept that would be shown later that year with huge wraparound rear glass, turbine-inspired bumpers and enormous side scoops. The other proposals from the studio were more conservative, featuring simple lines, grilles reminiscent of the Falcon, and one even borrowing the jet-thruster-style taillights made famous on the Thunderbird. Lincoln-Mercury had some impressively bold designs, particularly its fastback that had buttresses to extend the shape all the way to the tail. This car had two different side trim possibilities. The other Lincoln-Mercury design was toned down a bit, but had two interesting possibilities for side detailing, as well as some crisp, low-profile tail fins.
