1964 Ford Thunderbird This car is a true garage find. I found this car last year (2013) sitting in a garage with a few other cars. I purchased it from the family of a man who bought it on 4-24-1964. He was the 2nd owner. This man passed away in 2004. According to his family this car had been sitting for about 15 - 20 years. The family told me this was his "toy". They also told me this car was always garage kept. I believe mileage is correct, although I have no documentation to prove it. I bought it because I could tell it was obviously well cared for and in very good condition. My intention was to keep the car for myself, but now I have other projects I am working on. This is a beautiful well preserved car that will get attention wherever it goes! Cars does run and is drive-able, but does need some work. All buyers want to know "whats wrong with it?". It is my intention to disclose anything I know good or bad about this car. Keep in mind I have only driven this car a few miles since I have owned it. Listed are things I know about the car: Body: - It has had a repaint at some time, there is some overspray in the fender wells and on the tailpipes. - All body lines line up. - Paint is enamel, has a few chips and scratches, overall in good "driver" condition. - Chrome is in good condition, has some pitting (pictured) - Area around the top windshield trim on the drivers side as been "caulked" (pictured). Not sure why this was done. - Does not appear to have any rust issues, Tires - Tires are dated 1997 and still have the "tits" on the tread. Tread is 100%. Engine - 390 Z code. Thunderbird 390 Special V-8 (300 Horsepower) 4-Barrel Ford Carburetor with Dual Exhaust System - I have not changed any fluids, replaced any hoses, or done any tune up. - The A/C does not work. From my inspection it appears all of the components are there. - Sometimes the engine "hesitates" (see video) - Sometimes has a "squeeling" sound from either a belt or pulley (see video) Brakes - I have replaced the master cylinder and wheel cylinders. - Brakes are not that great and need more work, maybe a booster. Transmission - Cruise-O-Matic (Automatic, 3-Speed). - Has a leak that will need repairs. Interior - Overall in good "driver" condition - The passenger side power window does not work. You can hear the motor when you push the switch. It has to manually be push up. I think it may be off the tracks or a roller is broken. - The back power windows do not work. The passenger side motor makes noise. The driver side does nothing. - The radio does not work. - Carpet is in poor condition. It is stained and torn(pictured) - There is a tear on the drivers armrest, and drivers seat (pictured). - Interior chrome has pitted areas and will need detailing (pictured). Documentation that is included: - 1964 Owners Manual - Retail Buyers Order form from April 28, 1964 - Invoice from April 28, 1964 Check out these videos: As you can see this car does need some work. I would do the repairs myself but I just do not have the time right now. Reserve is very reasonable. Priced to sell! Buyer is responsible for arrangement of all shipping. I do not recommend driving the car long distances, only because I have only driven it a few miles. A $500.00 deposit is required in 48 hours from winning bidder. The remaining amount must be paid with cash, certified bank check, or money order within 7 days. Bidders with zero (0) feedback will cancelled unless you contact me first. (0) feedback bidders typically never pay, sorry. Will provide bill of sale. Alabama does not title this vehicle. You may contact me anytime by text 256-762-8171. Or you may leave me a message. Do not bid unless you intend to buy! Thank You for looking at my listing! |

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).

Plethora of 2015 Ford F-150 customs runs the gamut at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014
Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Ford racers.
Of all the OEMs making appearances at the 2014 SEMA show, Ford owns arguably the most significant group of vehicles, thanks to its new 2015 F-150 and Mustang. While you can look for our Mustang coverage soon, we've managed to sneak out and get snaps of some of a few of the F-150s on display at the company's sprawling, 20,000-square-foot display (look for even more aftermarket F-150 goodness in the coming days).
