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.

Ford GT successor to debut in Detroit and go racing

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Anticipation for all of the exciting reveals at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show just a few weeks away is building to a fever pitch, and rumors are mounting that Ford has a big surprise in store in the shape of a future performance halo model. Insider sources speaking to Autoweek claim the next Ford supercar is definitely going to be revealed at the Detroit show in early January. However, the model is not necessarily the next-generation Ford GT in terms of its name or design aesthetic. Instead, one of these people indicates that the new halo model might drop retro styling altogether. If the latest reports are to be believed, Ford's high-performance project goes beyond something to just grab headlines and rocket down the street. According to Autoweek, the automaker is also reportedly employing Chip Ganassi Racing to run a two-car racing effort in the Tudor United SportsCar Championship in 2016. That would allegedly include a trip to the 24 Hours of Le Mans to race on the 50th anniversary of the Ford GT40's win in 1966. The speculation goes that at least the racing version might use a twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 for power. However, the motorsports part of the program may not be announced during the auto show reveal. Rumors about the new halo car from the Blue Oval and its racing intentions have been percolating for months. The company might have considered an LMP2 entry, but speculation popped up later about the production supercar. A more recent report suggested that Ford might show a new Shelby GT350R Mustang, a successor to the F-150 Raptor and next Ford GT in Detroit.

Best cars for snow and ice in 2023 and 2024

Tue, Jan 23 2024

What's the best car for snow? The real answer is "the one with winter tires." What do we mean by that? You could have the finest, most advanced all-wheel-drive system or four-wheel drive in the world, but if you're running all-seasons (the spork of tires), your fancy four-wheeler won't matter much. The odds are, any vehicle on the road running good winter tires will probably perform adequately in slippery, slushy and/or snowy road conditions. (Here's a more complete explanation of why winter tires are totally worth it). In other words, you don't really need any of the cars on this list. With a set of winter tires, countless others will do the job, and even these will be at their best with proper rubber. You can find a variety of winter tires for your car here at Tire Rack. Keep in mind that you will need a full set of four snow tires for safety and performance, no matter what you're driving. The days of your dad putting just two snows on the family truckster to get it moving in a straight line are long gone. Don't get us wrong, getting a car that performs well in snow and ice is still a worthy criteria for car buyers. According to the U.S. Transportation Department, 70% of Americans live in places that get snow and ice. And much of the country has been blasted with arctic air for much of the new year. So let's look at the cars. First, we're highlighting choices for a variety of buyers and price points. Second, we're not just considering snow; we're considering general wintery conditions people will experience driving to work or school. As such, these are all choices with advanced all-wheel-drive systems, usually with "torque-vectoring" systems that not only automatically shunt power front and back, but side to side between the rear axles. Most have extra ground clearance for getting through deep snow, and we prefer those vehicles with more responsive steering, throttles and transmissions that provide a greater sense of vehicle control in slippery conditions.    Acura RDX Read our Acura RDX Review Acura's Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive system was one of the first to offer torque-vectoring, and besides often being touted for its ability to greatly enhanced dry-road handling, its benefits in the slick stuff can be profound. It's actually surprising that Acura hasn't leaned into this capability further by offering more rugged versions of its vehicles.
