1964 Ford Thunderbird hardtop. This is an extremely unique vehicle. The entire outside body shell has been stripped to bare metal and burnished for a truly exotic look. The roof is sanded down for an "aged" patina look and satin clear coated. All of the bare metal has been treated with Fluid Film, which is an industrial grade rust inhibitor. It is extremely easy to maintain with a quick wipe down every so often and the Fluid Film is available at most local auto parts stores. The metal on this car is in unusually great condition. There is nothing left to wonder about with metal condition on this one. NO BONDO, literally! There is some patchwork on the left and right quarter panels but as you can see in the pictures, there is no mystery. The car was stripped to reveal exactly what occurred throughout its life and left that way. All of the trim on the car is there and wears a beautiful patina that compliments the theme throughout. It has air ride suspension that can raise the car very high for any maintenance or transporting desired. There is a 5 gallon tank, Viair compressor, 4 valves and 2 switches for front and back control. It has 20 inch wheels that have the center sections sanded down to continue the theme of the car. The tires are in fair condition with heavier wear on the inside of the fronts because it is fun to drive with it almost all the way on the ground. It rides flat on the tread at about half way up. This car turns heads everywhere and fits in well from show car events to rat rod style shows. I have had magazine inquiries on it. for the interior, it is mostly all original and in exceptionally good original condition. It has brand new loop carpet, dash pad, and retro sound stereo with usb and aux inputs for use with android or iphone. There are a few minor seam stitches slightly letting go on the outer tops of the front seats and headliner but this car is not an example of perfection. This Tbird is an example of an old vehicle that has truly outlasted the test of time and becomes a main attraction where ever it goes. Speaking of go, it has a 390ci motor that runs very well backed by an automatic transmission. I have driven this car all over the state of Florida with the ice cold air conditioning on without any hiccups. It has a minor oil leak from the intake manifold which produces about 8 to 10 drops a day. This car is geared towards the owner looking for a simple functioning, low maintenance, work of art that can be enjoyed for it's incredible appeal without the hassle of babying it every step of the way. Get in, drive away, and have some fun! I am happy to answer any and all questions and can be reached by phone (call or text) at 407-970-4046. My name is Tim.

Jay Leno drives postcard-perfect '32 Ford Highboy Roadster
Mon, 25 Aug 2014At the turn of the century, it was arguably the Honda Civic that best defined inexpensive performance tuning, and in the '50s it was the Tri-5 Chevys. One of the earliest platforms to gain a huge following among young people looking for a cheap way to go fast was the classic '32 Ford Highboy Roadster. This week, Jay Leno's Garage looks at one of the very first vehicles that defined the look of the hot rod heyday.
This '32 Ford was built in the '40s and graced the cover of the fourth issue of Hot Rod Magazine back in 1948. All of the hot rods that you see shining at car shows today owe a serious debt of gratitude to this roadster. It bears all of the cues that define the look, including a notched frame and hidden door hinges. Under the three-piece hood is a flathead V8 boasting all sorts of period modifications, including copper cylinder heads. It was seriously fast in its era too, and proved it by reaching 112.21 miles per hour on a dry lakebed in 1947.
These days, this hot rod is on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Although, if you can't make it to California to see it, the United States Postal Service is celebrating this Ford with one of its two hot rod Forever stamps. Like Jay says in the video, in terms of hot rodding, "it all comes back to this." Check out the video to learn more about this rolling piece of tuning history.
Ford Focus ST diesel estate in track showdown with Focus ST hatch
Sun, Jan 18 2015Diesel hot hatches are still a concept that's gaining ground. Obviously, there are none for sale in the US, but European buyers have the choice of at least the Volkswagen Golf GTD and Ford Focus ST Diesel. What better way to find out how the new, high-performance oil-burner really stacks up than for Ford to stage a race against the gasoline-fueled Focus ST? On paper, the ST Diesel is at a big performance detriment here. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder makes 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque compared to 247 hp and 266 lb-ft for the gas version in this race. However while not a factor for this race, the oil-burner does offer better fuel economy and produces less CO2, which makes a difference for European buyers. Ford skews the race results by giving the ST Diesel Estate a two-second head start for this one-lap battle around the Castle Combe Circuit. Also, this is a video from the Blue Oval, which is going to further minimize the appearance of weakness for its vehicles. Still, both STs really get to show off their strengths, and it's worth seeing how the sibling rivalry shakes out at the finish line.
2015 will be the biggest year ever for cars at CES
Fri, Jan 2 2015Like the SEMA Show, major automakers are paying increasing attention to the CES, with 2015 expected to be one of the most auto focused yet. Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, General Motors, Hyundai, Mazda, Audi, BMW and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will all be in attendance when CES 2015 kicks off next week, taking up a record-breaking 165,000 square feet of space at the Las Vegas Convention Center. "We've come a long way from a single car on a carpet," Ford's Alan Hall told Bloomberg. Unlike SEMA, or a more traditional auto show, like the upcoming festivities in Detroit, CES doesn't necessarily focus on entire cars or the way they perform, but on the way our technology will interact with vehicles, and in how those vehicles will deliver information to drivers. "CES has become a major launch point for a lot of the big automakers," IHS tech analyst Mark Boyadjis told Bloomberg. "CES is a way for them to get on a global stage for technology." As for what kind of wares automakers will trot out in Las Vegas, we already know that BMW will show off an autonomous i3 electric car that can navigate its way through a multistory car park and can be hailed via a smartwatch app. According to Bloomberg, Hyundai will show off its own smartwatch app for the Genesis sedan, while Audi and Mercedes-Benz will show off autonomous vehicles next week. Automakers won't be the only companies looking to capitalize on CES. Tech firms, like chipmaker Nvidia, are becoming increasingly involved in the automotive game and will be in town showing their wares off to OEMs. "Two years ago, our booth would have been filled with PCs and people playing video games," Danny Shapiro, Nvidia's senior director for automotive business, told Bloomberg. "This year we made a strategic decision to shift the focus of the booth on automotive and de-prioritize some of the other things." Needless to say, you can expect to see a lot of news out of Las Vegas come next week. Stay tuned.
