Originally from Wyoming this 1964 T-Bird Coupe is an excellent example of a solid western car. The car has all of its original components ( motor, transmission etc.) and has not been modified at all. The exterior- The car looks to have most of its original paint but does show spots where it has been touched up but you really have to look close. A few dings here and there, but again, you have to be on top of the car to notice. The front of the hood has some chip marks where it curves down from stones. The roof is in excellent shape and the trunk is also. The inner lip of the trunk has surface rust spots on it as well as the underside of the hood. The inner bottom lips of the doors are the same but very solid. No holes anywhere on the car at all including the floors and trunk. The door jam openings are in nice shape and show their original paint as well. Car is very straight and corrrect with good lines and no waves. All of the glass is good without cracks. The chrome is in good shape and still shows lots of shine. As you will see from the pics, the front bumper has a slight curve in the middle of the bottom piece. All of the body side mouldings, glass trim etc. are in good shape.
The interior- The seats, carpet, door panels,headliner look all to be original. The armrests on the door panels on both side have small cracks in them. The headliner has one very small hole. The carpets and seats are in very nice shape for being original and the interior trim is in nice condition also. The pictures show the master switch for the power windows out of the car. A new switch has been installed and all windows are operational except the quarter window on the passenger side. The air conditioning blows but needs to be charged every spring. All of the gauges work including the radio.
Drivetrain- The motor, transmission and rear end are all in good working order with no known issues. The car runs down the road very well and has never given us any problem. The exhaust, tires, brakes, front end etc. were all checked out last year with its inspection and passed. We put approx. 300 miles a year on the car doing cruise-ins and shows. The farthest we have ever driven the car is approx. 200 miles to a show without problems.
We have a clear title in hand and we would suggest shipping the car to its new location unless you live a reasonable distance from us due to its age and the conditon of teh roads here in New York right now. ( snow)
Pre-sale inspections are welcome and questions prior to bidding are encouraged. All sales are final and without warranty. We can ship the car if needed but not outside a 300 miles radius. I can also store the car up to 30 days for free as long as the vehicle has been paid for in full. After that it would be 5.00 dollars a day for storage. Thank you for looking at our ad.

NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall
Wed, 05 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.
Ford, Renault, VW shareholder oppose French aid for PSA/Peugeot-Citro"en
Mon, 29 Oct 2012Pots and kettles, glass houses and stones - that's a little of what we appear to have going on in the European car market. New reports say that that three European automakers have registered their opposition to a loan deal that PSA/Peugeot-Citroën is working on with the French government. Peugeot's finance arm, Banque PSA Finance, is struggling with its debts and has been downgraded by Moody's to its lowest investment-grade classification, one step above junk. This makes it more expensive for a potential buyer to finance a car through Peugeot. The last thing Peugeot needs is more difficulty selling cars in the tough European market, and the situation will only worsen if the bank's credit worthiness takes another hit.
A deal being worked on would have the French government offer €7 billion ($9B U.S.) in bonds to guarantee the bank's loans, which would give the institution some breathing room to manage its debts and lower its interest rates. Outside of that, a group of banks would provide other, non-guaranteed loans to the bank to further help its position. In exchange for state help, though, the government wants seats on Peugeot's board for worker representatives and a government liaison, along with factory and worker guarantees. The Peugeot family would maintain control of the company.
So what we have is government assistance being provided to a car company's finance arm, akin to the way General Motors' GMAC (now Ally Financial) and Chrysler Financial got help in their time of need. What we also have is Ford and Renault, and Germany's State of Lower Saxony, the second-largest shareholder in Volkswagen, voicing their concern about the proposal, because they say it could create an unfair competitive advantage for Peugeot. Everyone in Europe's down market is fighting for every sale, and if Peugeot gets help to keep its auto loan costs down, it figures to help buyers choose Peugeot or Citroën.
Google's new Android Autos OS unveiled, will be in cars this year [w/video]
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Connected cars are coming en-masse. We know this much. How, though, remains something of an open question, especially as two of the world's largest tech companies are preparing to battle for control of your car's dashboard. On the one hand, we have Apple and its CarPlay system. And now, we know what Google has been working on with Auto Link.
Its new name is Android Auto, and yes, it's based off the Android architecture that is the primary challenger to Apple's iOS mobile operating system. Announced at Google's I/O conference today, Android Auto functions similarly to CarPlay - owners will need to plug their smartphones into their cars to access the full breadth of capability.
In Android Auto's case, that means a wealth of voice controls to limit distracted driving. Google's marquee apps will be available when the interface arrives in production models later this year, including Google Play Music, Google Maps and voice-activated texting and text playback. Meanwhile, developers will be able to begin designing custom apps for the new system via an upcoming software development kit.
