1964 Ford Thunderbird Mild Custom... Flake/panel/candy Paint!!! on 2040-cars
Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States
|
This is a great T bird. I am the 3rd owner. 2nd owner whom I purchased car from had owned it since 1978. In that time the motor was rebuilt twice. Most recently about 20k miles ago. Car runs like a dream. Could drive across the country and back tomorrow! 390 with Automatic. All vacuum lines have freshly been replaced. Nothing is needed mechanically.
This car has power steering, power brakes, heat and AC (AC system needs to be flushed and charged) Gauges work, lights work. The small wing glass in rear are not functioning. They should just need new switches. However I have always just left them up. Everything else electrical and vacuum operated works well. The roof is new fresh paint. Custom Flake and Candy. Starts off with Silver small flake base coat. Then has 3 panels, lace in center and scales on outer panels. And Sunburst Panels on the side. Topped with a Blue candy and clear. Shines like crazy in the run. The rest of the paint job, is an older light blue paint job. It is not perfect, but fits the car well and looks good. There is one spot of rust on pass side rear quater panel. It can easily be patched and I am willing to negotiate that into the purchase if price is met. The trunk has zero rust, perfect shape. Floors, rockers, etc are solid. The hood as a could dings that can be seen in pictures. One around letters and one just above and to left of the T. I do have the missing letters and some other extra parts that go with the car. The interior is in great shape, Headliner is flawless, Seats and carper are a few years old, but OEM style replacements, so in great shape. There is a crack on top of dash, as many of these had. Glass is all great shape, as well as trim. This car is ready to cruise. Fly in, drive it home. I see no reason you cannot drive this car anywhere. It has great power, can easily cruise down highway at 85 and feel like your on a cloud. Any other questions, please ask before you bid. I can take more pictures if need be. If you are local or know someone local, I would be glad to show it. |

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.
Ford Escort testing, may be bound for Europe
Tue, 01 Apr 2014There has been little news about Ford's China-focused Escort concept since debuting at last year's Shanghai Motor Show, but the no-frills sedan has shown its camouflaged face again during cold weather testing in Northern Sweden. While far from a guarantee, the test location might hint that the Blue Oval plans to market the car outside of Asia.
The Escort's black robe and zebra paint make it hard to tell if anything specific has changed about the design, but the shape of the sedan looks close to what was shown in Shanghai. Under the disguise, you can still make out the hexagonal front grille from the concept. When Ford announced the model, the company said that the design wasn't supposed to be "arrogant or pretentious," and it certainly achieved that. The engine range is still a mystery, but it seems safe to expect small, economy-focused powertrains.
A report from last year indicated that Ford may be considering broadening the new Escort beyond Asia and possibly even selling it in Europe. The fact that the company brought it to Sweden for testing could bolster that argument. A release date hasn't been set yet, but the automaker has promised 15 new products for China by 2015. The basic sedan could be on the road soon.
The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.
