CONTACT JEFF AT 570 977 0741. Up for sale and your consideration is a 1964 Ford Thunderbird Landau that was recently awakened after a 9 year rest in a local resident's garage. This was a one family car since new. It is a true survivor. If you're looking for a rust free California car or a frame off restored car then you can stop reading the ad. This is a typical northeast car with a few rust issues although it was always a garage kept car. It has great potential for restoration, but can be enjoyed as-is since it runs, drives and stops well. The decision was made to keep the car as found because it is 100% original and unmolested and unaltered. One of the current trends is to leave a survivor car as found and enjoy it as-is with the exception of insuring it is mechanically reliable. After the car was removed from storage it received fresh gas, new gas filter, new points, new spark plugs, new oil pan gasket, two new brake lines, new brake master cylinder, and fresh oil and oil filter. After replacement of these items it was driven a couple of times to insure that it shifted, drove, and stopped well which it does. As you can see in some of the photos, the body will need some attention if the buyer is looking to improve the appearance. Please remember that you are looking at a 49 year old unrestored car. The vinyl top and interior are in amazing shape for their age. The interior is the deluxe Landau version with wood grain accents and optional wood-look steering wheel that swings away to the side in park for ease in vehicle entry and exit. The color combo is a desirable triple black. The headlights, parking lights, back-up lights, stop lights, turn signals, front fender turn signal indicators, AM radio, heater and defroster, wipers and horn are all in fine working order. Front power windows work fine but rear power windows do not work. Gas gauge does not work. All the glass is good. Under the hood is the original 390 cubic inch, 300 horsepower engine. It is 100% original and runs smooth and quiet. This car is priced so it will be affordable to even a working class person who wants to own and enjoy a desirable vehicle without spending a fortune. The price is in accordance with the condition. Mileage on the car shows 46073. The mileage on the title is listed as exempt as many older cars were since they did not have a sixth digit on the odometer. Please take the time to look at the photos. I even had the car put up on a lift to show the undercarriage. I have more photos of the car should any prospective buyer want them. Just call and ask for them. If any prospective buyer has any questions as to the integrity of the car, I welcome the opportunity to show the car in person by appointment only.

GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.
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.
