 2003 Thunderbird from 2nd Owner. Purchased from original owner 2009. Car was immaculate then and after 5k more miles it still is. This car speaks for itself.  You always have someone waving, or thumbs up to you. It would be hard to find a more fun and beautiful car to drive. Ford did an excellent job with this car. It is on a heavy chassis and rides so well. The 3.9 V8 will go like a rabbit.  I have all factory documentation as shown in pictures. Window sticker and order sheet, All owners manuals that include details of top removal and reinstall, Easy and fast. I have the factory tape kit that Ford shipped to put on body to avoid scratching paint when re-installing roof. Rolling roof rack included w/roof cover. Hidden away is a perfect Black convertible top. Top is also fast to raise and lower.

 Ashtray (never used as 1st owner and I are non-smokers) it's made to sit in drink holder if needed. I also have original (Red) top removal tool. (2) screws only to loosen. Factory Ford service Manuals have pictures and description of every inch of vehicle. Wiring book also included.   You can't buy books on this edition T-Bird by Chilton's, Peterson, etc. Only in CD/DVD form. Tried at all auto parts stores and online. Big help if you are a DIY person. If not your local shop can use for all service required. Nothing major required as Transmission oil/filter service was done at 32k. only oil, filters normal due for very long time. 

Any questions send thru eBay I'll answer asap as I'm retired and can follow up quick.  Pls look at pic's, read close as most answers are here in info.  If interested pls have funds in hand or ready B/4 bidding as it could mess up someone else. Car has clear title in hand.  Ready to drive home or ship. I'll offer any help to you after you set up shipping. I cannot arrange shipment.  All certified checks must clear B/4 shipping. If you prefer to pick up car we'll go to bank to get funds cleared and title signed and on your way.   We all know there are idiots on ebay messing up listings daily.

Man has surgery to remove T-Bird turn signal that's been in his arm for 51 years

Fri, Jan 2 2015

In 1963, real estate agent Arthur Lampitt was driving a new Ford Thunderbird near East Peoria, Illinois on his way to an appointment when he collided head-on with a truck. A massive accident that was so bad that it was originally reported as a fatal crash, Lampitt suffered a broken hip and that became the focus of doctors' efforts. In fact, no one noticed the fact that the turn-signal stalk had been broken off the steering column and had lodged itself in Lampitt's arm. Fast-forward to around ten years ago, when Lampitt set off a courthouse metal detector because of a "slender object, about the size of a pencil" in his arm. Despite that unnerving discovery, the doctor who examined Lampitt said that since it didn't hurt, he needn't worry about it. This year, however, it did start hurting and the affected arm started to bulge. Lampitt decided to have the issue seen to, and suspected it might have something to do with his 1963 accident. When he looked through photos of the wreck taken by a friend, he noticed the turn-signal stalk of the Thunderbird missing and figured that was the culprit. After a 45-minute outpatient surgery, the surgeon verified it: a slim, slightly bent and corroded, seven-inch metal cylinder with a trumpeted end. The surgeon said a protective pocket had formed around it, which is why it could remain in Lampitt's arm so long, but it was still unusual - "We see all kinds of foreign objects like nails or pellets, but usually not this large." Lampitt, who is expected to make a full recovery, says he might make a keychain out of it, once he's done just holding it.

Ford announces 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Ford has pulled the wraps off its anticipated 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition model, a new variant of the popular street-legal off-road specialist. In a nutshell, the "special" is all cosmetic - there are no mechanical upgrades to the truck and its 6.2-liter V8 (411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque), Torsen limited-slip differential, beadlock-capable wheels and internal triple-bypass FOX Racing Shox dampers all remain untouched.
The SVT Raptor Special Edition, which adds cosmetic enhancements to the existing Luxury Package, will be offered in Ruby Red Metallic and Tuxedo Black Metallic with box-side graphics. The interior upgrades include Brick Red seat bolsters (with black inserts), cloth honeycomb highlights and a console top finish panel.
As of now, Ford has only release a couple pictures of the Special Edition model. But check back later, as we will update the gallery when additional high-res images are released later today, and be sure to peruse the press release below for all the details.

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.
