1963 Thunderbird Convertible - Nicest "driver" You Will Find - A True Must See! on 2040-cars
Lexington, North Carolina, United States
This beautiful Thunderbird Convertible is nearly all original and has been well cared for. As you can see, the fender skirts (which are being provided with the car) have been removed, and new 16" Real Wire Wheels (with knock-off hubs) have been added. Man, they're classy! The top was replaced a few years ago and is still in excellent condition since the car has been garage kept. It has also been repainted, and looks wonderful! You will not believe how good this car looks in real life. We get looks, smiles, waves, and thumbs-up wherever we go, and it starts conversations every time you have it in park! The interior is all original (except we did have to install a new dash cover) and in wonderful condition. Some of the bright metal in the interior is showing some pitting, but it still shines and is quite presentable. The 390 V-8, adds quite a lot to the value and collectability of the car, and it runs very well. Highway speeds of 65 - 70 mph are maintained comfortably. No doubt that higher speeds would be as well, but our comfort level is what we are advertising. Then there is the Swing-Away Steering Wheel. When demonstrating the car to others, this feature is still a very intriguing conversation piece. Feel free to call me to discuss anything at all regarding this very attractive and mature lady. She drives very nicely, and with the top down she hardly makes a sound. With the top up, she has a few rattles due to her age, but, she's as sweet as ever, and loves to show you a good time! The current issue of the Black Book for collectable cars shows the value of this car in "Fair" condition is $13,500, and in "Good" condition it is $23,500. NADA shows it even higher. We believe our car would be classified as "Good." But our reserve is closer to "Fair." We think this is your opportunity to get a steal! For details we might have left out, please call 336-239-4263 anytime between 6AM and 9PM Eastern. And, thanks for looking. Happy bidding! |

Ford adds third shift at F-150 plant to keep up with demand
Tue, 06 Aug 2013The signs have been very positive for Ford's F-Series line of pickup trucks as of late, and after 24 consecutive months of increasing sales of the best-selling F-150, the automaker has added a third production crew at its Kansas City Assembly Plant that includes 900 new hourly workers to meet demand for the truck. This the first step in Ford's plan to add 2,000 hourly jobs at the plant to help meet demand for its trucks and to begin production of the new Transit van, the automaker says.
Despite some tough new competition, sales of the F-Series are the strongest they've been since 2006, according to Ford. The automaker sold 60,449 F-Series in July, the best sales figure for the mid-summer month since 2006, which also represents a 23 percent increase compared to July 2012. From January to July 2013, sales were up 22 percent compared to the same period last year.
Ford has committed to creating 12,000 hourly jobs by 2015, and with the 900 new employees added to the assembly plant in Missouri, the company says it has completed 75 percent of its goal. Ford has also invested $1.1 billion to retool and expand the Kansas City Assembly Plant to ready it for Transit production. Take a look at the press release below for more job and F-Series sales information.
Ford Transit production fires up, American Pickers among first takers
Wed, 30 Apr 2014Not long ago, the History Channel showed a seemingly unending stream of World War II documentaries, but it made a switch a few years ago to include an increasing mix of 'reality' programming. American Pickers was one of the early attempts at this new formula, with cameras following hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz around the country in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as they tracked down collectibles and "rusty gold" for their Iowa shop, Antique Archeology. The show has since gone on to become one of the channel's most popular programs.
Starting in the new episode airing tonight, the affable hosts will swap their Benz for a 2015 Ford Transit, a nicely timed bit of marketing to coincide with the launch of the model's assembly at the Blue Oval's Kansas City Assembly Plant, which also kicks off this week. Ford is touting 2,000 new jobs created as part of its $1.1-billion investment in the plant.
No strangers to product placement, the guys from American Pickers say their switch away from the Sprinter is because they wanted to balance cargo capacity and fuel economy to make the most of their cross-country jaunts. They opted for the largest Transit available with a long wheelbase, extended body and high roof, giving them 487 cubic feet of cargo room. Hauling power comes from a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel engine with 190 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. Fittingly, the van wears the same Antique Archaeology logo over white paint as their old Sprinter.
Xcar celebrates 100-year anniversary with Model T tribute
Fri, Jan 9 2015Never mind the fact that XCar hasn't been making videos for the last 100 years, the British duo have gone all silent-moving-pictures in order to make their centenary case for the Ford Model T, a car that was already seven years old in 1915. It's not a review, but a mostly sepia-tinged look at the car that started the mass-market adventure by taking that biblical advice to be fruitful and multiply and populate the Earth abundantly. Since it looks like Xcar is celebrating some kind of milestone, we've also included another video below of the first Xcar review we could find, covering the BMW M1, from the much more recent past - circa 2012.
