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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford HQ gets giant solar array, Chevy City Express gets 24 MPG city

Sat, Aug 16 2014

Ford will be building Michigan's largest solar array at its Dearborn headquarters. With funding from DTE Energy, the solar carport will provide covered parking, as well 30 charging stations for electric vehicles. The array is expected to generate 1.13 million kWh per year for Ford's operations, and offset 794 metric tons of carbon emissions. Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet announced the fuel economy for the 2015 City Express, at 25 mpg combined. The cargo van is rated at 24 mpg in the city, and 26 mpg on the highway. Chevy credits the van's inline four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission for its impressive city mileage. For its customers - which are mainly businesses - "The fuel economy of the City Express will help stretch their dollar at the pump and give them the flexibility to invest the savings back into their business," says Chevrolet's Ed Peper. The City Express starts at $22,950. Read more in the press release below. Engineers at the University of Wisconsin have developed an efficient engine that runs on a diesel-gas blend. The engine, which uses a computer to control the blend proportions, is about 15 percent more efficient than the any diesel engine according to mechanical engineering professor Rolf Reitz. The team has put the experimental reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine in a demonstration car - a 2009 Saturn. "This vehicle can do 50 miles per gallon," says Reitz, who believes the system could be improved further. Read more at Wisconsin Public Radio. The Southeast Alternative Fuel Conference and Expo will take place in October in Raleigh, North Carolina. Held at the NC Clean Energy Technology Center from October 22-24, the event will feature a variety of exhibitors, speakers and, most importantly, alternatively powered vehicles. "The three day conference will be a one-stop shop for fleet and transportation related decision makers to learn about return on investment, efficiency and alternative transportation fuels such as biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, propane and natural gas," says Anne Tazewell of the NC Clean Energy Technology Center. If you can't make it to Raleigh for the Expo, you can still enter to win a free two-year lease of a Nissan Leaf at the Center's website. Learn more about the event in the press release, below.

2015 Galpin Ford GTR1

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

Last year in Monterey, we met GTR1 for the first time. Galpin Auto Sports pulled the wraps off its Ford GT-based supercar, powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.4-liter V8 good for a whopping 1,024 horsepower and 739 pound-feet of torque. The thing was totally custom-made and reportedly took some 12,000 man hours to create. And there it sat on the Pebble Beach grass, $1,000,000-plus price tag and all.
This year, the Galpin was back, albeit with one big change. That twin-turbo engine? Gone. In its place, a 5.4-liter V8 with a 4.0-liter Whipple supercharger bolted on, delivering an astonishing 1,058 hp and 992 lb-ft of torque on 110-octane fuel. 0-60? 2.9 seconds. Top speed? Somewhere above 225 miles per hour.
"Some things to keep in mind: no stability control, no traction control," were the only warnings given by Galpin's Brandon Boeckmann before taking me on a quick spin in the supercar. And after having my eyes thrown into the back of my skull a few times, laughing hysterically and trying to regain full use of my hearing after my ear drums being bombarded by the apocalyptic roar behind me, Brandon pulled over and said it was my turn, if I was ready to take the wheel.

Car-crazy 5-year-old boy writes automakers for treasures, gets big response

Fri, Jan 25 2019

Part of the beauty of children is that they can find worth in something adults might deem unworthy or overlook entirely. Five-year-old Patch Hurty didn't see garbage or a broken piece of a car when he spotted a Ford badge lying on the side of a road. He saw an artifact, a souvenir, a start to a collection he could only dream of. Ezra Dyer of Popular Mechanics tells the story of Patch and his quest to turn that one lost badge into a museum of manufacturer logos. According to the article, Hurty is a car fanatic through and through, even using car names as a way of learning to read. After finding the Ford badge near his Connecticut home, he and his mom put together a plan to reach out to dozens of automakers, confessing his love of things on four wheels. In each letter, Patch assembled a picture of himself standing next to one of the cars, and a penny to pay for whatever he hoped was sent his way. The response was unexpectedly and overwhelmingly positive. Of the more than 50 letters he sent out, including to obscure or defunct companies such as Bugatti, Suzuki, and Saturn, a majority responded with warm notes and some type of souvenir. Two of the coolest responses came from Lincoln and Bentley. Lincoln sent a sketch of a Continental (all car lovers enjoy drawing cars, right?), and Bentley sent a wheel center cap. How awesome is that? The story reminds us of something that can easily be lost in all of the negativity involved with the auto industry: Everybody is in this because of a common infatuation with automobiles. For more details on the souvenirs Patch received and accompanying photos, read the rest of the story. Related Video: News Source: Popular Mechanics Read This Bentley Bugatti Ford Lincoln Saturn Suzuki
