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

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.

2016 Ford Explorer order guide revealed

Wed, Jan 21 2015

The configurator for the refreshed 2016 Ford Explorer is already up and running. However, if you're the type of person that really likes to dig into the nitty-gritty of a vehicle's features, then the order guide for this latest Ford is now available (pictured right). While the documents don't list fuel economy, engine power or pricing, they give a precise idea of all of the differences separating each of the five trim levels: Base, XLT, Limited, Sport and Platinum. In addition to the tweaked styling across the board, even the Base model now features a rearview camera with a washer. There are also three new colors available: Shadow Black, Blue Jeans Metallic and Guard Metallic. Base, XLT and Limited trims are available with either a 3.5-liter V6 or new, optional 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. All of them are mated to a six-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive is optional with either engine. The new Platinum trim basically loads the Explorer up with everything imaginable. Power comes from the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, matched with all-wheel drive. Plus, the Platinum trim gets standard luxuries like a dual-pane moonroof, adaptive cruise control, a premium sound system and Ford's super-soft Nirvana Leather covering the seats. There are also some new tech features throughout the rest of the lineup. For example, an updated auto-parking system is also available on the Limited but comes standard on the Platinum. Furthermore, a 180-degree front camera and second-row USB charging are optional on the Sport but are standard on the Limited and Platinum. Check out the gallery for even more of the changes.

Watch how Ken Block spent his weekend in Barbados

Thu, 22 May 2014

Regardless of what you think of his skill as a racer, Ken Block is an expert showman. At this point, he has a career of showing up around the world to do vehicular stunts, and he's still able to go racing as well. It's a pretty sweet niche to carve out. Recently, Block was in Barbados to participate in Top Gear Live and the first event of the Global Rallycross Championship season, and Ford Racing produced a short video to show off his exploits.
It looked like a great show. Block got to race Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes-Benz Formula One car and had a very weird crash during a Rallycross race that put his Ford Fiesta on its roof. Top Gear also released an extended look at Block and Hamilton's spectacle with the two of them expertly sliding around. Scroll down to watch the videos and get a taste of Block's tropical racing adventure.
