THIS 1963 THUNDERBIRD CONVERTIBLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN LESS THEN 300 MILES IN THE PAST 26 YEARS. THE BLACK EXTERIOR AND RED INTERIOR COLORS ARE FACTORY CORRECT. LAST YEAR I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AN ELDERLY MAN WHO HAS OWNED IT SCENE 1987. IN NOVEMBER OF 1987 THE CAR HAD 123,903 MILES ON IT. HE TOLD ME HE HAD THE MOTOR REBUILT SHORTLY AFTER HE BOUGHT IT, THEN PUT IT IN A GARAGE BEHIND HIS HOUSE IN WAUKESHA WISCONSIN AND THERE IT SAT, BASICALLY HE NEVER DROVE IT. THE CAR NOW HAS 124,144 MILES ON IT. THE T BIRD HAD A POORLY DONE RESTORATION AT SOME TIME BEFORE HE BOUGHT IT. IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC, TOLD HIS TO GO THROUGH THE CAR AND DO A COMPLETE SERVICE AND SAFETY INSPECTION. HE WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE CAR AT A COST OF NEARLY $2,200.00 (RECEIPT INCLUDED) THE CAR NOW RUNS GREAT. THE TOP WORKS AS IT SHOULD. YOU COULD DRIVE THIS CAR AS IT SITS, HOWEVER IT SHOULD HAVE A COSMETIC RESTORATION. THE CHROME IS DULL, THE PAINT HAS CHIPS AND NICKS, THE BODY PANELS HAVE HAD RUST REPAIR YEARS AGO AND IT SHOWS. THE TOP IS IN GOOD SHAPE BUT HAS ONE PATCH. YOU CAN SEE BY THE PICTURES, THAT THE INTERIOR IS OLD AND IN NEED OF REPAIR. THAT BEING SAID IT STILL GETS HONKS AND THUMBS UP EVERY TIME IT GOES DOWN THE ROAD. ONLY SELLING IT BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO USE THE MONEY TO IMPROVE A BUILDING I OWN.
PLEASE CALL 815-219-3801 WITH ALL QUESTIONS.

Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
Ford's first PHEV in Europe could be C-Max
Fri, Oct 17 2014Ford could start selling a plug-in hybrid in Europe pretty soon, according to at least one of its executives. Whether it's willing to do so is another story. But if the market perks up, so will the company. The automaker can "quickly" develop a plug-in hybrid version of its Mondeo, the sister car to the Ford Fusion, Automotive News Europe says, citing Ford executive Uli Koesters. The subject of Ford selling plug-in hybrids in Europe is more vital than ever since Volkswagen recently started selling its first PHEV (a Golf) there. VW will also debut a Passat PHEV next year. Koesters was less certain about whether there was sufficient European demand to warrant a production PHEV from Ford. Europe's biggest-selling plug-in hybrid through the first half of the year was the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. That model, according to JATO Dynamics, moved almost 9,000 units through June. Toyota sold almost 4,300 Prius Plug-in Hybrids in Europe during that time period. And we can't be sure Ford's first European PHEV will be the Modeo/Fusion, either. In fact, Ford's first plug-in hybrid for Europe is more likely to be the C-Max, John Gardiner, a Ford spokesman in Europe, told AutoblogGreen. He would only say that it would be sold "in selected markets soon," without being more specific. Ford's two PHEVs in the US have been selling well this year. Through September, sales of the Fusion Energi PHEV almost tripled to 9,323 units, while Ford C-Max Energi PHEV sales were up 51 percent to 6,486 units.
Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
