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

Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."

Ford debuts Fusion NASCAR racer that edges closer to stock [w/video]

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

The sixth-generation NASCAR Sprint Cup racecar, which will make its competition debut at the 2013 Daytona 500 this weekend, marks the closest thing to a "stock car" that the sport has seen in more than 20 years. No longer using just stickers to distinguish the different brands, the image above shows the lengths NASCAR and automakers went in order to create a racecar design that more closely resembles the individual cars they represent.
Ford, one of the more open and vocal OEMs regarding the Gen6 car's development, is giving us a closer look at its racing version of the Fusion with a pretty revealing side-by-side comparison with last years' racer (click above for an expanded view). Aside from the more realistic front end and production-like body lines, the overall shape, dimensions and proportions have also been designed to give the racecar a more stock appearance. Most of the new racer was designed by the Ford Design Center, which the automaker says was the first time it has been so involved in the design process since the 1960s. Of course, one area the Sprint Cup Fusion really differs from the production Fusion is its Ford Racing 5.8-liter V8 producing around 850 hp. Can you say Fusion SVT?

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well.
