You are bidding on a 1964 Thunderbird Convertible Roadster. I suspect this may be an original roadster. 1961 - 1963 depicted and identified the Roadster package. 1964 it was not. The reason I suspect it though is that this vehicle does not have power windows or air conditioning but does have the roadster cover and the Kelsey Hayes wire wheels (the wheels were the most expensive option for 1964). I believe whoever ordered the car originally opted for the Roadster package. I purchased this car 2 years ago. It is a South Carolina car. Previous owner had redone the engine and transmission. When I got it I added a brand new original Holley 4 barrel carb. I also added a Pertronix Distributor and EI. I went through the entire underside of the car. In the rear I added new leaf springs, shackles, bushings and shocks. In the front I added new coil springs, upper ball joints, lower ball joints, Control arm bushings, stabilizer bushings. Everything was taken off, sanded and painted before re-assembly. The steering column was also rebuilt with new bearings, dedent plate (was a problem with these cars) , Gear selector handle, indicator display, signal handle, signal wiring harness, steering damper. It has new fender indicator lights, a new chrome rear bumper, new tail light lenses, I converted the rear lights to digital sequential signals (sequential signals didn't come out until 1965). All the hard stuff is done! Has good driver quality paint but has some chips and scratches. It is a plum purple with purple top. Some things needed are fuel gauge does not work, horn does not work. One of the wire wheels has elongated holes due to lug nuts not being properly tightened. Tires have a lot of tread left but are old and not true. The foam in the front seats is old and needs replacing though the skins are good. Some new paint and tires would really finish the car off! Engine runs strong and brakes are good. Call with any questions. I'm in Connecticut. My cell is 203 233 5023 . Leave message and I'll call back. Prefer cash but may consider trade for 30's type street rod.

2015 Ford Mustang potentially 'leaked' by Car and Driver

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

Few upcoming debuts have been as eagerly anticipated as the all-new Ford Mustang that's expected to debut shortly as the Mustang's 50th anniversary year approaches. Well, Car and Driver magazine would have us wait no longer as it claims to be leaking Ford's new global pony car early.
Of course what you're looking at is just as likely to be a composite rendering based on what C/D projects the new Mustang to look like, but to our eyes it looks spot on. Combining design traits from the Evos Concept with classic Mustang signatures and Ford's Aston-inspired grille treatment, C/D's images - including a complete 360-degree digital navigator - show a Mustang not only for the modern era, but also for global distribution, taking a quintessentially American car to markets its predecessors were never designed for.
Those global considerations are expected to spell the demise of the outgoing Mustang's holdout live rear axle in favor of an independent suspension, and a slight constricting of the exterior dimensions. And thanks to a separate leak, coming from a digital survey, we have apparent confirmation of what will power the new pony car. While the existing 3.7-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 engines will apparently carry over with only slight adjustments in output, the survey confirms a new 2.4-liter turbo four will be positioned in between them, offering slightly more power than the V6 but markedly improved fuel economy for a manageable $560 premium over base.

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
Scroll down for more about Ford's planned job growth as well as how to go about applying for said openings.

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Meet the Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5 Concept, a fully functional drift car that, according to our team in Sin City, has been doling out demo drifts in front of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Destined to be the flagship of RTR's Tactical Performance Line, the Spec 5 Concept is, in addition to its 5.0-liter Aluminator V8 engine, chock full of performance parts that you can buy for your very own 2015 Mustang. In addition to the Ford Racing engine, the OEM parts supplier has lent the Spec 5 an aluminum radiator and a close-ratio six-speed transmission.
ASD Motorsports provided the front lower control arms, while the car itself rides on a fully customized coilover suspension. Magnaflow and American Racing have provided the exhaust system and headers, respectively. 20-inch HRE wheels, designed for RTR, are wrapped in sticky Nitto rubber.
