Originally from Wyoming this 1964 T-Bird Coupe is an excellent example of a solid western car. The car has all of its original components ( motor, transmission etc.) and has not been modified at all. The exterior- The car looks to have most of its original paint but does show spots where it has been touched up but you really have to look close. A few dings here and there, but again, you have to be on top of the car to notice. The front of the hood has some chip marks where it curves down from stones. The roof is in excellent shape and the trunk is also. The inner lip of the trunk has surface rust spots on it as well as the underside of the hood. The inner bottom lips of the doors are the same but very solid. No holes anywhere on the car at all including the floors and trunk. The door jam openings are in nice shape and show their original paint as well. Car is very straight and corrrect with good lines and no waves. All of the glass is good without cracks. The chrome is in good shape and still shows lots of shine. As you will see from the pics, the front bumper has a slight curve in the middle of the bottom piece. All of the body side mouldings, glass trim etc. are in good shape.
The interior- The seats, carpet, door panels,headliner look all to be original. The armrests on the door panels on both side have small cracks in them. The headliner has one very small hole. The carpets and seats are in very nice shape for being original and the interior trim is in nice condition also. The pictures show the master switch for the power windows out of the car. A new switch has been installed and all windows are operational except the quarter window on the passenger side. The air conditioning blows but needs to be charged every spring. All of the gauges work including the radio.
Drivetrain- The motor, transmission and rear end are all in good working order with no known issues. The car runs down the road very well and has never given us any problem. The exhaust, tires, brakes, front end etc. were all checked out last year with its inspection and passed. We put approx. 300 miles a year on the car doing cruise-ins and shows. The farthest we have ever driven the car is approx. 200 miles to a show without problems.
We have a clear title in hand and we would suggest shipping the car to its new location unless you live a reasonable distance from us due to its age and the conditon of teh roads here in New York right now. ( snow)
Pre-sale inspections are welcome and questions prior to bidding are encouraged. All sales are final and without warranty. We can ship the car if needed but not outside a 300 miles radius. I can also store the car up to 30 days for free as long as the vehicle has been paid for in full. After that it would be 5.00 dollars a day for storage. Thank you for looking at our ad.

Ford gives police chiefs tech to surveil officers in their own cars
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Police officers certainly have a difficult job in keeping the streets safe, but as public employees in positions of authority, there is still a very real need for oversight. To that end, Ford is partnering with a tech company to offer a new system called Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement on its line of Police Interceptor patrol vehicles that could make cops safer, while giving cities a better idea of what its officers are doing.
The system streams live data about cruisers back to the home base to people like the police chief or shift supervisor. That info includes expected things like speed, location and cornering acceleration, but it gets incredibly granular as well, with records of things like if emergency lights are on, or even if an officer is wearing a seatbelt.
Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement "ought to protect officers as much as it protects the public," said Ford spokesperson Chris Terry to Autoblog. Constantly monitoring patrol cars offers cities a lot of advantages, too. First, it reduces potential liability because a department can prove where each vehicle is at all times. Also, officers know they are being watched and may potentially drive more safely.
Focus STs for SEMA include Lotus and Gulf liveries, rally-fied police car
Tue, 22 Oct 2013Ford, as we mentioned on Saturday, is pulling out all the stops for November's SEMA show, bringing 57 vehicles to the Las Vegas event. Ford will be staggering the release of its SEMA flotilla, though, so expect to hear a lot about the new additions to the fleet in the weeks to come. We already showed you the Fiesta, Fiesta ST and Mustang models that made up the first batch of SEMA cars. Next up, we have a quartet of modded Focus STs joining Ford's SEMA roster.
Our first Focus ST (pictured above) sports the legendary livery of Gulf Racing. The orange-on-blue scheme, which Ford helped make famous at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has been updated for 2013, with a more vibrant blue. This ST was built by Universal Technical Institute, while the exterior was done by Neil Tjin of Tjin Edition. Side exhausts, a Vortech supercharger and a Motiv Concepts high-flow cat allow the ST to breathe a bit easier, while Forgestar wheels contrast well with the iconic paint scheme.
Focus ST number two has been done-up by PM Lifestyle and is inspired by "Southern California car culture." Sporting a sleek, pale blue paint job, there's also no shortage of carbon fiber on the car's exterior. The 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine has been massaged by the likes of Banks Power, COBB Tuning and Ford Racing, while the suspension is wearing a shiny, new set of coilovers and sway bars. The meaty brakes, tucked behind 19-inch, Rotiform wheels, come from Wilwood, while the cabin has been fitted with a pair of Sparco Chrono seats and five-point, Schroth harnesses.
Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems
Fri, 29 Mar 2013A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.
