1963 Ford Thunderbird 2-door Coupe on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States
Selling a 1963 Ford Thunderbird two-door hardtop with a 390 V8 engine andautomatic transmission.It has been a California car from day one: my fatherpurchased it back in the mid-1960s, so if he’s not the original owner, the caris as close to a one-owner as you’re likely to see for a car of this vintage.The car runs and drives as it should, and the odometer reads 14823 miles. Myfather had the entire drive train rebuild back in the early 2000s, but becausehe was getting on in age and wasn’t driving much anymore, it has only a fewhundred miles on it since then. The car was painted at around that time (early2000s) in the original color, but will need it again. The body is otherwise ingood condition with virtually no rust or dents. The car also comes with the realwheel skirts. The brakes were completely redone in 2016.Apart from a split inthe driver’s seat upholstery that will need attention, the original blue vinylinterior is in very good condition. In the mid-2000s, my father had a mechanicfriend remove the door panels to fix a problem with the power windows; they arein the trunk. The car has AC, power windows, and power steering, and thesteering wheel shifts to the side for easy in and out. The car is all originaland complete (no missing parts, etc.) and would make an excellent, relativelyeasy and straight-forward restoration project for the right I just don’t have the time or skills to restore it myself, so Iam hopeful its next owner will give it the restoration it deserves. I have donemy best to describe the car as accurately as I can and will do my best to answerany questions you may have. Bear in mind that the car is sold as is where iswith no warranties expressed or implied. Title is free and clear and car iscurrently registered with correct vintage black and gold CA plates.

Ladies Love It: Ford Fiesta wins Womens World Car of the Year
Thu, 25 Jul 2013It's official: A panel of female automotive writers has chosen the Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost as the Womens World Car of the Year, and it beat tough competition like the Mazda CX-5, Range Rover and Porsche Boxster S for the overall top spot.
The CX-5 and Range Rover won the SUV and Luxury Car categories, respectively, and the Boxster S laid claim to the Sports Car category, beating the runner up Audi RS5 and third place Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ (or Scion FR-S). The Audi Allroad was named the Family car of the year.
The panel consisted of 18 female automotive writers from around the world tasked with picking the best car in each of eight categories, including top vehicle overall, using criteria that women utilize when shopping for a car. That includes safety, value-for-money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child-friendliness, ease-of-driving, color, sex appeal and environmental footprint.
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
