1964 Thunderbird Convertible Roadster on 2040-cars
Watertown, Connecticut, United States
|
You are bidding on a 1964 Thunderbird Convertible Roadster. I suspect this may be an original roadster. 1961 - 1963 depicted and identified the Roadster package. 1964 it was not. The reason I suspect it though is that this vehicle does not have power windows or air conditioning but does have the roadster cover and the Kelsey Hayes wire wheels (the wheels were the most expensive option for 1964). I believe whoever ordered the car originally opted for the Roadster package.
I purchased this car 2 years ago. It is a South Carolina car. Previous owner had redone the engine and transmission. When I got it I added a brand new original Holley 4 barrel carb. I also added a Pertronix Distributor and EI. I went through the entire underside of the car. In the rear I added new leaf springs, shackles, bushings and shocks. In the front I added new coil springs, upper ball joints, lower ball joints, Control arm bushings, stabilizer bushings. Everything was taken off, sanded and painted before re-assembly. The steering column was also rebuilt with new bearings, dedent plate (was a problem with these cars) , Gear selector handle, indicator display, signal handle, signal wiring harness, steering damper. It has new fender indicator lights, a new chrome rear bumper, new tail light lenses, I converted the rear lights to digital sequential signals (sequential signals didn't come out until 1965). All the hard stuff is done! Has good driver quality paint but has some chips and scratches. It is a plum purple with purple top. Some things needed are fuel gauge does not work, horn does not work. One of the wire wheels has elongated holes due to lug nuts not being properly tightened. Tires have a lot of tread left but are old and not true. The foam in the front seats is old and needs replacing though the skins are good. Some new paint and tires would really finish the car off! Engine runs strong and brakes are good. Call with any questions. I'm in Connecticut. My cell is 203 233 5023 . Leave message and I'll call back. Prefer cash but may consider trade for 30's type street rod.

Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown
Sun, 18 May 2014A lot more happened during this latest brutal winter than days of snow and Netflix binges. Automotive sales took a battering. After all, going out car shopping when it's eleventy-billion degrees below zero isn't a good time.
Because of this Old Man Winter-induced sales slump, inventories are abnormally high as we head into the summer car buying season. That's led some analysts to predict that automakers will be more inclined to idle factories this summer, in a bid to trim some of the built-up inventory. Traditionally, American manufacturers offer up a two-week break in the middle of summer, although the burgeoning sales of the past few years have seen this practice become less popular.
"We're likely not going to see an acceleration this year," Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. "We'll see production increases in 'pockets' but I don't know if it will be as widespread as in recent years."
Ford Australia debuts Ranger-based Everest SUV concept
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Ford has been in hot water in Australia ever since it announced plans to end local production of the Falcon and Territory SUV. Besides canceling a model that is to Oz what the Mustang is to America, the end of production means more than a few folks will be out of work.
Keen to prove that it has a plan for the market, Ford has unveiled the Aussie-penned Everest Concept, a rough-and-tumble, seven-seat SUV. While not a direct replacement for the aging Territory (that role will eventually be filled by either the Edge or Flex, according to Car Advice) it's an indication from Ford's brass that the Blue Oval is still committed to Australia.
To prove that fact, Alan Mullaly, Mark Fields, Jim Farley and regional execs descended on Sydney for the debut of the new concept. Ford's Australian president and CEO, Bob Graziano, said of the Everest, "Our customers, our employees and Australia can be assured that we're connected to the nation and committed to our customers through terrific products with class-leading technologies."
Ford trademarking 'Mach 1,' possibly for Mustang
Thu, 24 Oct 2013A legendary name might be accompanying the redesigned, 2015 Mustang when it finally makes its world debut - Mach 1. Stumbled upon by the team at Ford Authority, the Mach 1 title was found in a trademark filing with the US Patent and Trademark Office, and would revive a name last used on the fourth-generation, 2003 Mustang.
While the the 2003 vintage was well and good, the Mach 1 is really remembered for a three-year run from 1969 to 1971 - it's best to just forget the emissions-choked 1972 to 1978 Mach 1s - when power output ranged from a modest 250 horsepower with the two-barrel, 351-cubic-inch Windsor V8 to "375 hp" (actual output was rumored to be well north of 400 horsepower) with the righteous, 429-cubic-inch Super Cobra Jet V8.
What does the title hold for the sixth-generation Mustang? It's tough to say. The fanatics at Ford Authority seem to think Mach 1 could take the place of the Shelby GT500 at the top of the Mustang hierarchy, which sounds like a valid argument. At the same time, we could see the SVT Cobra moniker returning for the flagship model, and the Mach 1 doing battle with the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 (unless the Boss 302 were to return). Confounding things is the historical precedent - the Mach 1 was responsible for the death of the Mustang GT in 1969, so it might make sense as a volume performance model.
