For sale is a beautiful 1963 Ford Thunderbird. I am the 3rd owner and got the car from a woman who drove it 300 miles a year for the past 30 years. It has been my daily driver for the past half a year but I'm a college student and could use the money.
Exterior: The paint is very nice, the only flaw is a small scrape on the passenger door. The white stripe tires have 3/4 tread and all feature upgraded hubcaps. The car has all the trim and the chrome and rare emblems are in good shape. Very little pitting. All the lights work, parking/brake lights/head lights/highbeams. All registration and tags are up to date. The car has both original license plates and skirts. The body is extremely straight and all doors, trunk, and hood close solidly. The trunk features a hidden lock behind the thunderbird emblem. All glass is in tact.
Engine/Transmission: 390 Ford big block. Runs strong. Will cruise on the freeway at 70 mph all day. The power steering and power brakes allow for an extremely smooth ride. New spark plugs, spark plug wires, alternator, distributor, battery, radiator hose, etc. Everything else is original. It starts up the first time with ease. Recently changed oil and flushed transmission. The transmission was rebuilt about 10 years ago and shifts easily. There is a small leak coming from the middle of the transmission but the car is still driveable. The car is fairly quiet and has a single exhaust on the passenger side.
Interior: The upholstery is decent. The cab and trunk are lined with carpet and rubber mats and the door panels, seats, dash, and package tray are all upholstered.. The front two seats show signs of wear and are beginning to crack. The side-view mirror is electric and the car features working a/c and heat, odometer/speedometer, and original am radio. The window motors work but the switches in the center console are not currently hooked up. All interior trim and stainless steel are in good shape as well. Interior door lights, ceiling light, dash light, gauge lights, and glove box light works. Both doors and trunk lock. Unique to this generation and model is the swing away steering wheel. By lifting the shifter up, the steering wheel swings right from driving position to allow for easier access in and out of the driver's seat. The front two seats have aftermarket airplane style seatbelts installed that are easily removable to return to stock. The headliner is in very good shape as well. Everything is for the most part complete and original.
The car comes with a trunk-full of spare parts, trim, extra hubcaps, jack, etc.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
Amelia Island 2013: 50 years of the Ferrari-slaying Ford GT40
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Originally developed with the sole purpose of being a Ferrari rival to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT40 became a prominent racing machine in the 1960s in both Europe and the US. Not wanting to leave such an important car out of the fun, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance also took time out from its other celebrations to recognize the 50-year anniversary of the GT40.
Over its short lifespan, the GT40 was offered in a handful of configurations, but the classic short-tailed (Mk I and Mk II) bodystyles were well represented... especially in Gulf livery. James Glickenhaus (of Ferrari P4/5 fame) had his bright yellow Mk IV in the field, and there were several others in this bodystyle, including one that has seen plenty of time on the track judging by its chipped-up nose.
As a fitting statement for the car's lengthy racing history, GT40 Chassis Number 1075 won this year's Concours de Sport award. This car took home the checkered flag at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, and racked up a total of six wins in just 11 races.
