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.

Next Ford Raptor spotted wearing aluminum skin
Wed, 07 May 2014Well, look at what we have here. Judging from these spy shots, Ford is indeed working on the next generation of its off-road-ready F-150 Raptor pickup truck. We've made no attempt to hide our appreciation for the Baja-style truck, which combines most of the usability of a fullsize truck with heavy-duty suspension components to make a kind of performance vehicle that is unique in the market.
What we haven't known, until now, is whether Ford would push forward with its Raptor program now that it has a completely new F-150 to serve as its base. And that's especially true since Ford made the bold move of switching the bodywork of its best-seller from tried-and-true steel to aluminum. As you can see above, the front and rear of this silver truck are clad in current-gen Raptor bodywork, while the center section that houses the occupants appears to come from the upcoming 2015 F-150.
Dissecting the views above, we note a few interesting tidbits. First, there looks to be a bulge in the truck's hood. Second, we see a new grille between the current Raptor's headlights, sporting a mesh finish and two horizontal bars. Lastly, our eyes can't help but lock in on those burly A-arm suspension pieces down below, not to mention all that ground clearance the specialty suspenders bring to the table.
Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out
Wed, 11 Dec 2013With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
Ford to rebrand SVT as 999?
Mon, 22 Sep 2014Ford operates a number of performance divisions around the world. There's SVT in the US, Team RS in Europe and Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV) in Australia. But the Blue Oval has been steadily integrating its performance operations into one unit, and here we might have our first indication of what it will be called.
A reader at Jalopnik sent in a survey in which respondents were asked to gauge the name for a new performance brand from a "major automotive manufacturer," and while the identity of that automaker was not disclosed, according to the survey, the automaker is considering the name 999 for its new go-fast unit.
As our compatriots point out, the 999 was Ford's first racecar, a rudimentary chassis with a 19-liter inline-four campaigned by Henry Ford around the turn of the 20th century. (Ford also used the number to designate a Fusion fuel-cell racer a few years back.) That could prove the tie-in Dearborn is looking for in rebranding its performance operations worldwide, replacing the letters SVT, RS and FPV globally under one name.
