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

2015 Ford Mustang will tell authorities how you crashed and if you were belted [w/video]

Sat, 28 Jun 2014

When the 2015 Ford Mustang hits dealers, it will be with a new batch of features that will power up Sync's 911 Assist feature, and provide an even greater degree of information to first responders in the event of an accident.
911 Assist will already make a phone call, via a Bluetooth-connected phone, should you bin your car. The automatic message to first responders is a pre-recorded blurb from Ford. With the new enhancements, though, emergency personnel can learn about the maximum change in velocity and whether the crash involved a front, rear, side or a rollover impact. 911 Assist will also send information about how many seat belts were in use and if airbags deployed, allowing more accurate dispatch of resources.
"Sync will only broadcast relevant information to save time, and it constructs a very efficient message for the operator," said David Hatton, the global project leader with Ford Connected Services. "After the introductory message, the voice line opens automatically and occupants can speak directly with the operator via Sync's hands-free functionality."

Ford to pay $17.35 million over Escape recall

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

Ford had a bit of a recall spree around this time last year, with a pair of issues on the then-new 2013 Escape, followed by a recall of 423,000 2001 to 2004 Escapes because they might accelerate of their own accord. Accordingly, Uncle Sam pasted Ford with a $17.35 million fine because it took too long to inform customers, according to a report from Automotive News.
Ford agreed to settle with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, accepting the fine but not admitting fault. The recall, which afflicted Escapes with the 3.0-liter V-6 along with 217,000 Mazda Tributes from 2001 to 2006 and 2008, was due to faulty gas pedals that could stay down after a driver removed their foot.
Ford issued a statement regarding the fine, saying, "We take the safety of our customers seriously and continuously evaluate our processes for improvements. While we are confident in our current processes for quickly identifying and addressing potential vehicle issues, Ford agreed to this settlement to avoid a lengthy dispute with the government."

2015 Ford Focus Sedan is fresh-faced and ready to defend its Most Popular crown

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

Ford has made an art of deeper-than-normal midlife updates since the 2010 Fusion, a strategy that has allowed it to keep models looking fresher in showrooms for longer without needing full redesigns. Instead of slight touchups to light fixtures, new paint colors and perhaps new wheel patterns, Ford has been digging deeper, with significant sheetmetal changes and very different front-end looks, along with an increased emphasis on new in-car technologies to keep models vibrant. Other automakers are following this trend, and Ford itself is continuing on the path with this new 2015 Focus Sedan.
There's a handsome new SE Sport Package that includes a firmer touring suspension, modest body kit and 17-inch wheels.
We first saw this sleek Aston Martin-like nose fitted to a Focus at the Geneva Motor Show last month, but Ford only showed the new look on the five-door hatchback - this is the first appearance of the sedan, which will bow at next week's New York Auto Show. The front end treatment is the same, with a new hood, new headlamps incorporating LED accents, a different grille shape and a completely revised lower fascia that does away with the 2014 model's controversial triangle-shaped corners and gaping intakes. The rear gets a new two-piece, laser-brazed trunk lid with new taillamps, but the overall look is quite similar to last year's car. In any case, the refreshed look brings the Focus sedan more in line with the design of Ford's other recently reworked cars, including the Fusion and Fiesta.
