1964 Ford Thunderbird hardtop. This is an extremely unique vehicle. The entire outside body shell has been stripped to bare metal and burnished for a truly exotic look.  The roof is sanded down for an "aged" patina look and satin clear coated.  All of the bare metal has been treated with Fluid Film, which is an industrial grade rust inhibitor.  It is extremely easy to maintain with a quick wipe down every so often and the Fluid Film is available at most local auto parts stores.  The metal on this car is in unusually great condition.  There is nothing left to wonder about with metal condition on this one. NO BONDO, literally!  There is some patchwork on the left and right quarter panels but as you can see in the pictures, there is no mystery.  The car was stripped to reveal exactly what occurred throughout its life and left that way.  All of the trim on the car is there and wears a beautiful patina that compliments the theme throughout. It has air ride suspension that can raise the car very high for any maintenance or transporting desired. There is a 5 gallon tank, Viair compressor, 4 valves and 2 switches for front and back control.   It has 20 inch wheels that have the center sections sanded down to continue the theme of the car. The tires are in fair condition with heavier wear on the inside of the fronts because it is fun to drive with it almost all the way on the ground.  It rides flat on the tread at about half way up.  This car turns heads everywhere and fits in well from show car events to rat rod style shows.  I have had magazine inquiries on it.  for the interior, it is mostly all original and in exceptionally good original condition.  It has brand new loop carpet, dash pad, and retro sound stereo with usb and aux inputs for use with android or iphone.  There are a few minor seam stitches slightly letting go on the outer tops of the front seats and headliner but this car is not an example of perfection. This Tbird is an example of an old vehicle that has truly outlasted the test of time and becomes a main attraction where ever it goes.  Speaking of go, it has a 390ci motor that runs very well backed by an automatic transmission.  I have driven this car all over the state of Florida with the ice cold air conditioning on without any hiccups.  It has a minor oil leak from the intake manifold which produces about 8 to 10 drops a day.  This car is geared towards the owner looking for a simple functioning, low maintenance, work of art that can be enjoyed for it's incredible appeal without the hassle of babying it every step of the way.  Get in, drive away, and have some fun!  I am happy to answer any and all questions and can be reached by phone (call or text) at 407-970-4046.  My name is Tim.

2016 Ford Taurus to ride atop reworked Fusion platform

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Generally, cars get bigger and heavier as they get older. That's why it looks so ridiculous when you park a classic Mini next to a modern version. The same can be said of the Corvette, the BMW 3 Series, Porsche 911 and, of course, the Ford Taurus. In the Taurus' case, though, that size has become a liability, particularly because the big brute isn't nearly as sizable on the inside as it is on the out.
For 2016, Ford is aiming to rectify that. According to Edmunds, the 2016 Taurus will ride on a stretched and widened Ford Fusion platform. Ford is expecting this move to go a long way in trimming the Taurus' ample body fat.
"The problem with today's Taurus is that it is overweight and even the high performance SHO is not really competitive," said a source that spoke to Edmunds on condition of anonymity. The 365-horsepower SHO variant, "actually weighs about as much as the stretched Audi A8 L. Of course, Audi uses an extensive amount of aluminum, but it is a much bigger car."

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
