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.

NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.
TX officer allegedly lets 140-mph street racer go with a warning [w/poll]
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Being pulled over by the police is one of the most nerve-racking situations that a driver can go through, and it's even worse when you know that the officer has you dead to rights for speeding well over the posted limit. In this video, the driver of a heavily modified Ford Mustang with a claimed 966 horsepower at the rear wheels could have easily lost his ride for doing triple-digit speeds and street racing, but a friendly Texas police officer appears to send him on his way with a simple warning.
What's more, the driver in question wasn't just speeding - his Mustang was the camera car for a bunch of rolling street races in the wee hours of the morning on a Texas highway. The driver was more than willing to mix it up in the action, too. Eventually the cops catch on and pick the 'Stang to pull over, but not before the Ford owner runs a claimed 140 mph. With only audio to go on after the car is pulled over, the police officer seems incredibly nonchalant about catching someone who was so brazenly breaking the law. Incredibly, the patrolman actually tells the driver that he's seen everyone racing tonight but ignored them. With traffic picking up, the cop says that it's time to "cut it out" and go home for the night. As far as this video shows, that was the end of it.
