You are bidding on a rare 2003 Ford Thunderbird 007 Special Edition. This is number 37 of 700 total produced. This one-owner car has only been driven 5670 miles and has been stored in a climate controlled garage when not in use. This car has never been involved in a collision and there are no dents or scratches. This car comes with 2 tops. The hard top has never been off the car and the soft top has never been up. The boot, hardtop Stand and cover for hardtop, and other accessories are still in the manufacturers plastic bags in the trunk. I have the original window sticker and the original bill of sale! I have compiled a notebook of pictures and documentation that will be invaluable to a collector. This car will only get more valuable in the future! The first 2 pictures were taken when the car was new, but all others are current pictures.

A Short History:
This car is a representation of the 2002 Thunderbird that appeared briefly in the anniversary Bond movie "Die Another Day" starring Pierce Brosnan as James Bond and Halle Berry as Jinx. Halle was the driver of the Thunderbird in the movie. The movie premiered in the USA on November 22, 2002. It's reported that the original car was offered to Halle but she turned it down opting instead for an Evening Black 2002. Wonder what happened to the original? The car in the movie had a coral top instead of the white top offered with the special edition and was a 2002, not the 2003 that the edition comes as.

Known facts now that the model is out of the factory: Ford had a sweepstakes for an 007 to go along with the opening of the "Die Another Day" movie. It ended December 2002. The first cars were officially "bucked" right after Christmas and started appearing in dealer's showrooms by mid January, 2003. Production of the 007 ended sometime in March. All 700 were built and some were prepped early for shows in Europe. It is believed that 694 were sold and 6 used for shows.

This limited editon features chrome 21-spoke wheels just like the Neiman Marcus editions had for 2002. The seats are a solid "performance white" colored leather. The doors are trimmed with white "wings" and the lower part of the dash is white. There is a "007" badge on the metal trim across the dash above the glove box. The hardtop color is "performance white." The steering wheel and shift knob are covered with "black ink" leather, a departure from the other "full accent" interiors. The transmission has the select shift automatic (an 03 option) and the 3.9L, 280hp engine which is standard for the 2003. Each 007 car has their own special plaque in the glove box, serializd from 001 to 700.

MSRP was $43,995

This car is also known as the James Bond Special Edition or Bond Girl Special Edition, or identified with the actress Halle Berry.

Ford worker files for UAW dues refund, stirs right-to-work debate

Sun, 24 Aug 2014

Let's start with some history: Ford's Dearborn truck plant, part of the company's massive River Rouge complex, was the center of a strike in 1941 that led to Ford signing the first "closed shop" agreement in the industry. The agreement obliged every worker at the plant to be a dues-paying member of the United Auto Workers. In December 2012, however, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation making Michigan a right-to-work state, which outlawed closed shops. The new law gave workers the right to opt out of union membership and stop paying dues even if they were still covered by union activities like collective bargaining. For employees at the Dearborn plant, the right-to-work clauses take effect at the end of their current contract in 2015.
As a tool-and-die maker at Ford's Dearborn plant for 16 years, Todd Lemire pays dues to the UAW - about two hours' salary per month. However, he's been unhappy with the UAW's support of the Democratic party, and not wanting to wait until next year to be out of the UAW entirely he invoked his Beck Rights, which state that a non-member of a union does not have to pay dues to support non-core activities, such as political spending. But Lemire wasn't happy that Ford still subtracted the total amount of dues, with the UAW reimbursing the difference, so he filed suit with the National Labor Relations Board, feeling that the workaround violates his rights.
Lemire's case is just a week old, so it could be a while before a resolution. Yet, as September 15, 2015 draws near and the right-to-work laws take full effect for Michigan workers - and others wonder whether it could help revitalize the state's manufacturing base - a case like this adds more fuel to the discussion.

Ford recalling nearly 700k Escape CUVs, C-Max hybrids over two separate safety issues

Fri, 09 May 2014

Poor Escape. Ever since its launch in 2012, Ford's small CUV has been the subject of many, many, many recalls. And today, The Detroit News is reporting that Ford is adding two more recalls to the 2013-14 model year Escape's permanent record, one of them also involves the C-Max hybrid hatchback.
The first recall, covering 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles, is due to a software glitch that could cause the airbags - specifically, the safety canopy - to not deploy in a timely fashion during rollover crashes. According to the News, Ford says no crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this problem.
The second recall, covering 692,700 Escapes, is related to the door handles. The News reports that the exterior door handles could open while the vehicle is in motion, and could also fail to latch properly. Once again, no crashes or injuries have occurred because of this. The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration has not issued an official notice on either recall as of this writing.

Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.
