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! |

Fewest vehicles ever found eligible for Most American survey
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Once again, the most American car on the market is from an American brand. The Ford F-150 retained its number one spot in Cars.com's annual survey of the most American vehicles, trumping the Toyota Camry, which remains at number two.
Ford taking the top spot is small consolation, though, as the Detroit Three aren't too well represented here. General Motors scored a win at number seven, with the Chevrolet Corvette, while Chrysler squeaked in at number ten, with the Dodge Viper. Outside of those three vehicles, Toyota and Honda dominate the top ten.
What's most remarkable, though, is that there were so few cars available for this year's list.
TRANSLOGIC 147: CES 2014 Autonomous Vehicles
Wed, Jan 15 2014We head back to CES in Las Vegas to check on the progress of autonomous vehicles in 2014. We go hands-free on the highway with Audi, narrowly avoid a collision with Ford and hear all about BMW's drifting driverless car. But first we take a ride on Induct's self-driving Navia shuttle.
Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
