Great project Thunderbird. Clean title and current registration with original Black/yellow license plates. Body 63A, Color F, Trim 52, Date 20B, DSO 71, Axle 1, Trans 4 . Factory power windows, power driver seat, power door locks, I started on this project and thought I'd end up with a very nice fun driver. Then I found a 1964 Thunderbird convertible red on red with white top. I am selling my hardtop so I can devote my time to the convertible. When I bought the hardtop the brakes didn't work at all and fluid leaked at hoses and cylinders. The cooling system would not hold water and the belts looked older then the car. I started replacing and repairing what it would take to move the car and run the engine/drive train. What follows is a list of things replaced and or rebuilt. New rear brake shoes, new rear brake cylinders, new rear brake hardware (self adjusters and springs), new rear brake hose, and machined drums. In the front a new 1970 Ford dual master cylinder and proportioning valve was installed. The front drum spindles have been replaced with disc brake spindles and calipers/rotors from a 1965 Thunderbird with new grease seals and overhaul of both calipers, machining rotors and new pads. The wheels have been change to 1965 Thunderbird wheels to fit over the disc brakes. The front end has new ball joints, A arm bushings/shafts, strut bushings, sway bar links/and mounts, new shocks. The radiator has been recored with made in California new core and rebuilt surge tank. New radiator hoses and new belts. The engine has new timing chain and gears, new water pump , new fuel pump, rebuilt newer style alternator with updated harness. The car had add on air conditioning installed at some time in its life and air is a good thing but I prefer the factory look and fit. All the A/C brackets and alternator brackets have been changed to original factory brackets from a 1964 Thunderbird with factory air along with original style compressor. I have all the parts to change over the interior to be factory correct look and fit but have not installed the interior parts as of yet and it all comes with the car. Granted the car will need more work to make it that fun very nice driver but it has a good start. Auction winner is responsible for pick up of vehicle (not driveable). The car is sold with no warranty as is. I will assist with towing or shipping.

Ford announces first non-pursuit-rated police car ever
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Ford announced its first non-pursuit-rated Police Interceptor ever, based on the Taurus, which employs the smaller 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine in place of similar pursuit-rated Police Interceptors powered by naturally aspirated 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter V6s and the top-spec 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Officially called the Special Service Police sedan, the car was commissioned at the request of law-enforcement agencies that desire a more fuel-efficient vehicle for detectives, administrators and campus police, who don't necessarily need pursuit-rated vehicles.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine produces 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, but more importantly, it allows the SSP sedan to achieve somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway, which are the civilian 2.0-liter Taurus' official EPA ratings. Ford estimates that the SSP sedan will get 20 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined, with the help of Active Grille Shutters that open to allow more cooling air through to the radiator, or close to optimize aerodynamics and fuel economy. Those numbers compare favorably to the discontinued Crown Victoria-based Interceptor's 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway and the newer Taurus-based cars equipped with V6s, the most fuel efficient of which gets 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
If it was driven 90,000 miles over the course of three years, a 2.0-liter SSP sedan would save law enforcement agencies $5,042.92 versus the Crown Vic, Ford estimates. The EPA is expected to post official fuel-economy numbers for the SSP sedan in December. Until then, read the press release below for more information.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Rolling footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang hits YouTube [w/video]
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Just in time for the holidays: Ford took the 2015 Mustang to Route 66 to cook up rolling footage, and we've been given some of the leftovers ahead of the meal. There are no burnouts, no donuts, no revving, and thankfully, no music. It's just two minutes and 26 seconds of the new pony car running free in the desert.
So in case you needed more visualizing help, the video below will help you start imagining how you'll look in your 2014 Christmas present to yourself...
