1964 Ford Thunderbird Convertible With Roadster Package on 2040-cars
Watertown, Connecticut, United States
You are bidding on a 1964 Thunderbird Convertible with the roadster package. This started out as a South Carolina car so there is no rust. It has a nice solid body. I have done a lot of work on her over the past 2 years that I have owned her. It has a new suspension including new leaf springs, bushings, shackles and shocks in the rear. (No saggy butt on this bird like most). She sits right. In the front I replaces the coil springs, upper control arms, lower control arm bushings, upper ball joints, lower ball joints, stabilizer links and bushings, stabilizer bushings and front shocks. Everything I took off the car was sanded to bare metal and painted before re-assembling. At some time the engine and tranny were rebuilt. I did add and brand new Holley four barrel and a pertronix distributor electronic ignition which eliminates the points. I replaced the back bumper with a brand new one and new tail light lenses too. 1964 did not come with sequential signals so I added digital sequencers to the signals that work great. I added a new dedent plate and new shift handle along with a new signal switch and gear shift indicator. All of the hard stuff is done. Some of the things left to do are it has Kelsey Hayes wire wheel but one has elongated lug holes and all have minimal surface rust. The tires are old and should be replaced. The paint is driver quality and has some chips and imperfections. The seat covers are good but the foam in the front seats could use replacing. It does have newer carpet. The gas gauge does not work but I have a new one that will go with the car. The speedometer works but needs a new cable. I have a new cable that goes with the car. Horn needs to be hooked up. All lights work as they should. The convertible mecanism works good but occasionally I have to play with the main limit switch to open the smaller lid. I believe it is just an adjustment to the switch. All of the hard stuff is finished just waiting your finishing touches. She is a good driver now. Enjoy as is or bring her to the next level with some tires, wheels and paint! Please call with any questions you might have. My cell is 203 233 5023 or my home number is 860 4176164. Ask for Bill. Leave a message if no answer and I will call you back.Thanks for looking!

Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.
Ford Mustang, F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator recalled
Wed, Apr 27 2016The Basics: Ford will recall 201,900 examples of the 2011-2012 F-150, 2012 Expedition, 2012 Mustang, and 2012 Lincoln Navigator. The affected vehicles have the 6R80 transmission. Of the total, there are 84,000 of them in the United States and 17,900 in Canada. The Problem: The output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame can force the gearbox to downshift into first gear. If this happens at high speed, it could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. Injuries/Deaths: There are no reported injuries, but Ford know of three accidents related to this problem. The Fix: Dealers will update the powertrain control module software to eliminate the problem, and they'll also replace the transmission lead frame. If You Own One: Ford will begin notifying affected customers by mail on May 23.

Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall and customer satisfaction program for certain 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles in North America to update powertrain control module software and inspect for certain diagnostic trouble codes Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 202,000 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles for a potential issue with the output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame. Under certain conditions, the transmission controls could force a temporary downshift into first gear. Depending on the speed of the vehicle at the time of the downshift, the driver could experience an abrupt speed reduction that could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. This condition could result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Ford is aware of three reports of accidents and no injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles are equipped with a 6R80 transmission and include certain 2011-2012 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Dearborn Truck Plant and Kansas City Assembly Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through March 9, 2012; 2012 Ford Expedition vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Dec. 19, 2011; Ford Mustang vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Feb.
Do you guys like trucks?
Wed, Jan 17 2018Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!
