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.

2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility is ready to tackle Chicago's mean streets
Wed, Feb 11 2015As is the way of things, when a civilian vehicle gets a significant update, it's only a matter of time before its police counterpart gets similar upgrades. In the case of the Ford Police Interceptor Utility, it's debuting with the same visual updates as the Explorer on which it's based, at this week's 2015 Chicago Auto Show. Like the civilian-market Explorer, the PI Utility is available with a standard 3.7-liter V6 that pumps out 304 horsepower and 279 pound-feet of torque. The higher-caliber option is the tried and true 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, complete with 365 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. The standard Explorer's optional 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, meanwhile, won't be offered to the boys in blue. Regardless of engine, the Utility enjoys standard all-wheel-drive, as well as a six-speed automatic transmission. The tranny's default setting is primarily for fuel sipping, although if it detects more aggressive inputs – based on brake line pressure, deceleration and lateral acceleration rates – it switches over to Pursuit Mode, offering officers snappier upshifts and more aggressive downshifts. The PI Utility's other cool, new system is called Surveillance Mode. To protect officers from sneak attacks, Surveillance Mode warns them when someone approaches the rear the car, raising all four windows and locking the doors. While Ford says the system has "intermittent fault filter technology" to prevent "erroneous changes in sensor signals," we're betting it won't be long before veteran officers uncover some way to prank rookies with the tech. Beyond these new systems, this is the same Utility that officers know and love, only with a significant facelift reminiscent of what's found on the civilian model, which debuted at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The new grille has a positive impact on cooling performance, Ford claims, while a new headlight setup accommodates the high-beam-based "wig-wag" lights. The new look has also allowed Ford to offer police departments additional customized lighting options, for that special touch. Inside, a new steering wheel and center console should make officers' lives easier, as will the new (and requested) liftgate release button, found in the overhead console. Check out the first images of the new Police Interceptor Utility (and, sporty drivers, memorize that headlight pattern) up above. Be sure to check back for additional live images once we check out Ford's latest cop car, at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show.
GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773
Fri, Mar 24 2023In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna. Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
