1964 Ford Thunderbird Convertible With Roadster Package on 2040-cars
Watertown, Connecticut, United States
|
You are bidding on a 1964 Thunderbird Convertible with the roadster package. This started out as a South Carolina car so there is no rust. It has a nice solid body. I have done a lot of work on her over the past 2 years that I have owned her. It has a new suspension including new leaf springs, bushings, shackles and shocks in the rear. (No saggy butt on this bird like most). She sits right. In the front I replaces the coil springs, upper control arms, lower control arm bushings, upper ball joints, lower ball joints, stabilizer links and bushings, stabilizer bushings and front shocks. Everything I took off the car was sanded to bare metal and painted before re-assembling. At some time the engine and tranny were rebuilt. I did add and brand new Holley four barrel and a pertronix distributor electronic ignition which eliminates the points. I replaced the back bumper with a brand new one and new tail light lenses too. 1964 did not come with sequential signals so I added digital sequencers to the signals that work great. I added a new dedent plate and new shift handle along with a new signal switch and gear shift indicator. All of the hard stuff is done. Some of the things left to do are it has Kelsey Hayes wire wheel but one has elongated lug holes and all have minimal surface rust. The tires are old and should be replaced. The paint is driver quality and has some chips and imperfections. The seat covers are good but the foam in the front seats could use replacing. It does have newer carpet. The gas gauge does not work but I have a new one that will go with the car. The speedometer works but needs a new cable. I have a new cable that goes with the car. Horn needs to be hooked up. All lights work as they should. The convertible mecanism works good but occasionally I have to play with the main limit switch to open the smaller lid. I believe it is just an adjustment to the switch. All of the hard stuff is finished just waiting your finishing touches. She is a good driver now. Enjoy as is or bring her to the next level with some tires, wheels and paint! Please call with any questions you might have. My cell is 203 233 5023 or my home number is 860 4176164. Ask for Bill. Leave a message if no answer and I will call you back.Thanks for looking!

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Sun, Jul 9 2023The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric. Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands. If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla. Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor. Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have: Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Ford says 70% of its models to get stop-start by 2017
Sun, 15 Dec 2013Ford is following up on a report we posted a few weeks back that the Blue Oval would be adding stop-start technology to its entire model range. Now, the Dearborn-based automaker has announced that the fuel-saving feature would be available on 70 percent of the company's range by 2017.
Ford claims the technology will improve fuel economy by around 3.5 percent, although its actual effect will vary based on how the owner drives - apparently up to a 10-percent improvement is possible for those who sit in heavy traffic (Los Angelenos, this means you). The latest recipient of the technology is the updated 2014 Ford Fiesta with the company's three-cylinder EcoBoost powerplant.
Part of the reasoning for the new addition has to do with cost. Ford claims the tech is affordable and easy to implement. "Simply put, Auto Start-Stop helps customers use less fuel, which is an important component of Ford's Blueprint for Sustainability," Ford's global powertrain vice president, Bob Fascetti, said.
