THIS 1963 THUNDERBIRD CONVERTIBLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN LESS THEN 300 MILES IN THE PAST 26 YEARS. THE BLACK EXTERIOR AND RED INTERIOR COLORS ARE FACTORY CORRECT. LAST YEAR I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AN ELDERLY MAN WHO HAS OWNED IT SCENE 1987. IN NOVEMBER OF 1987 THE CAR HAD 123,903 MILES ON IT. HE TOLD ME HE HAD THE MOTOR REBUILT SHORTLY AFTER HE BOUGHT IT, THEN PUT IT IN A GARAGE BEHIND HIS HOUSE IN WAUKESHA WISCONSIN AND THERE IT SAT, BASICALLY HE NEVER DROVE IT. THE CAR NOW HAS 124,144 MILES ON IT. THE T BIRD HAD A POORLY DONE RESTORATION AT SOME TIME BEFORE HE BOUGHT IT. IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC, TOLD HIS TO GO THROUGH THE CAR AND DO A COMPLETE SERVICE AND SAFETY INSPECTION. HE WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE CAR AT A COST OF NEARLY $2,200.00 (RECEIPT INCLUDED) THE CAR NOW RUNS GREAT. THE TOP WORKS AS IT SHOULD. YOU COULD DRIVE THIS CAR AS IT SITS, HOWEVER IT SHOULD HAVE A COSMETIC RESTORATION. THE CHROME IS DULL, THE PAINT HAS CHIPS AND NICKS, THE BODY PANELS HAVE HAD RUST REPAIR YEARS AGO AND IT SHOWS. THE TOP IS IN GOOD SHAPE BUT HAS ONE PATCH. YOU CAN SEE BY THE PICTURES, THAT THE INTERIOR IS OLD AND IN NEED OF REPAIR. THAT BEING SAID IT STILL GETS HONKS AND THUMBS UP EVERY TIME IT GOES DOWN THE ROAD. ONLY SELLING IT BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO USE THE MONEY TO IMPROVE A BUILDING I OWN.
PLEASE CALL 815-219-3801 WITH ALL QUESTIONS.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
Galpin Ford GTR1 supercar debuts in Monterey
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Galpin Auto Sports has finally taken the wraps off the car we first previewed back in December, the Galpin Ford GTR1. A few weeks ago, we posted the first hints of just what the GTR1 would be capable of, with Galpin teasing that its 5.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 would produce in excess of 1000 horsepower, with a top speed of 225 miles per hour. Package all that in a coachbuilt body, and you have the recipe for one wicked supercar.
The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000.
Now, we have all the glorious details. Galpin is targeting a production run of six cars, but if interest is strong enough, will expand its initial quote to 24 vehicles. The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000. Opting for the aluminum bodywork could lower that, although it's not immediately clear by how much.
How Ford made its 2015 Ford Mustang safer for toupee wearers [w/video]
Fri, 28 Feb 2014Ford is ready to tell the story of its 2015 Mustang Convertible, the can't-miss bits being the easier, quicker and quieter roof operation, a more robust roof build for a coupe-like cabin noise, more trunk space, better visibility and reduced in-cabin buffeting. The top release system has been completely redesigned with a single, center-mounted latch on the windshield frame instead of the dual latches of before. The driver can now release the roof without having to lean over into the passenger space, after which the top goes down fully automatically with the press of a button. Ford doesn't say how long it takes to stow, but it's apparently done in half as much time as before, so figure around 8 seconds.
The roof uses a five-bow structure, with the fabric outer and full inner headliner sandwiching ten millimeters of insulation. Detailing work on the top has eliminated "unsightly folds" in the corners when the roof is up and made it more compact when down; its Z-fold assembly is 6.7 inches lower than before at its highest point when put down. Ford says the new electric drive internals make less noise when in operation, and the fully-finished droptop look is achieved with snap-in caps that flank the rear seating and stow in the trunk when not in use (the outgoing Mustang's top was higher and the front when folded and always looked like it was catching air and creating drag).
The compact roof and newly independent rear suspension setup in back means liberated trunk space, 11.4 cubic feet ready to swallow golf bags and tourist swag. You can read a lot more about it in the press release below, check it out in the short video of running footage and learn about the aerodynamic improvements made to the entire Mustang lineup that decrease drag and increase fuel economy.
