1964 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:1964 Mileage:62582
Location:

Bel Air, Maryland, United States

Bel Air, Maryland, United States

Up for auction is this 1964 Thunderbird Hardtop. The car is a great running driver that turns heads where ever it drives. The car is equipped with AC, power windows, power steering, power brakes, deluxe spinner hubcaps, fender skirts, and power drivers seat. This car was until a year ago in storage in a steel barn where the previous owner had purchased new seat foam and covers for all the seats, a new trunk liner kit, new fender skirts, and new front floor pans. These have now all been installed and the floor pans have been welded into the car and the interior was bed lined before re-installation. During this process the vacuum lines were all replaced and the front power window motors were fixed. 

The Good: The car has no bondo or body filler in it. It is solid metal all around and with only 62k miles the body does show quite well. The carburetor was recently rebuild and the engine runs great, and the water pump and fan have been replaced and painted. The car runs and drives and brakes well and the power seat, front windows, wipers, and brake lights work. The seats are not ripped and are very soft form the new foam. The tires are good and hold air fine. New letters have been added to the hood. All gauges besides fuel gauge works.

The Bad: The car's rear windows are rusted up and need to be replaced, the trunk did not have pans welded in but merely sheet metal from another Thunderbird, the radio has no wires connecting to the speaker, the AC system is disconnected and compressor has been removed (But is available when purchased), the rear window has some mild scratches on it, the dashboard is cracked in the usually two spots near the defroster, the brakes are original and are very weak currently, the shift lever is worn out and takes some wiggling to get out of park. The power steering pump needs to be rebuilt or replaced soon but it still works. The turn signals were once working but now do not I believe that the flasher need to be replaced and the lighting for the interior does not come on but the headlights do which likely means that the light switch need to be replaced. Gas gauge does not work.

This car would make a fantastic driver as I have used it for the past year and a half or could be easily made into a show car with the fantastic original body that it has. Happy bidding!

As for shipping the car can be driven to the immediate area of about 30 miles from the town of Bel Air further than that and the buyer will need to arrange for a tow truck or pickup service on their own. Immediate deposit of $500 required after sale ends

Project Ugly Horse alive and kicking at Road & Track

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

The hallways of the Autoblog campus are much quieter now that Zach Bowman has taken his prose, along with his welders, wrenches and hammers, over to the digital pages of Road & Track, but that doesn't mean our favorite project Mustang is gone forever. Project Ugly Horse is still coming along, and Zach has gifted us another update on his unfoxy Fox Body.
Last we saw of the Ugly Horse, Zach was strengthening up the '89 Mustang's chassis as he prepares to stuff the turbocharged, direct-injected EcoBoost engine of a Ford Focus ST under the hood. First things first, the old mill must go. Head on over to Road & Track to catch the latest chapter of Project Ugly Horse.

MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.

Ford mulling EcoSport for US? [w/poll]

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

"We certainly have that ability. We're studying it very, very closely." Those are the words of Jim Farley, global head of sales, marketing, service at Ford. The investigation Farley is referring to is the possibility of selling the company's new EcoSport crossover in America.
The diminutive Fiesta-based EcoSport was developed for emerging markets like Brazil and, more recently, China, but it apparently may have a future in the States, where it would form a new entry-level rung below the Escape in Ford's already robust crossover stable. Ford has big plans for its tiny CUV - Farley tells Automotive News that the EcoSport is only available in 10 countries right now, but by 2017, its distribution will have mushroomed to 62 countries. At the time the second-generation model launched at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show as a 2013 model, Ford said the EcoSport would eventually be sold in nearly 100 markets worldwide.
The Brazilian- and Indian-assembled EcoSport is available with a variety of gasoline-powered engines, but the 1.0-liter, three-cylinder EcoBoost giving 118 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque would seem to be the powertrain of choice for America, as it was recently confirmed for the stateside 2014 Fiesta.
