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.

Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.
Ford forced to recall Escape over fire risk yet again
Tue, 26 Nov 2013Recalls happen. Automakers hope they won't, but they do. And that's alright, for the most part, because cars are designed (and to a large degree still made) by humans, and humans make mistakes. So we forgive them, as long as the problem is resolved. Only in the case of the Ford Escape, the problem seems to keep coming back.
That's why Ford is calling in the Escape yet again due to fire concerns. The issue revolves around problematic fuel lines in 9,469 units manufactured between October 5, 2011, and July 11, 2012, all of which use the 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine.
As you yourself may recall, the Escape was subject to a string of recalls last year that resulted in a $17 million fine. One of them was over this very same issue, which Ford apparently didn't rectify the first time around. Let's hope this time is the last time.
Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
