1964 Ford Thunderbird Convertible Custom

This is a very cool and very clean 1964 Ford Thunderbird custom convertible (It started its life as a hard top which has since been removed and is now a convertible and has been for years). Features its original Ford 390 cubic inch motor and automatic transmission. Has had a recent tune up with new coil, wires, rotor cap and brand new Edelbrock carburetor. She runs great and is ready for action! The engine compartment is very clean also. The car has had a repaint that still looks very good and shines up nice. It is pretty much rust free but there is evidence of past body work on the drivers door and quarter panels at some point (still very presentable driver). The interior is also in decent shape. The rear seats are very nice but the front drivers seat has some tears and needs to be recovered. The carpet is in nice shape. The dash is in very good shape. Dash chrome is in nice shape. Console is in nice shape. Door panels are decent but beginning to show there age (drivers side has a rip that is taped). All gauges on the car work (fuel, Amps, temperature and oil pressure). The horn, lights, turn signals and wipers all work. Car also has a brand new JVC AM/FM CD stereo radio installed. The car has the correct wheel covers. Rear bumper is new and looks great. Front is original and a little dull. The finish work where the cuts were made are decent but are somewhat crude (however still look correct and can be easily improved upon if desired). The trunk is clean and has a new correct trunk liner and tire cover (see picture).This Thunderbird gets attention everywhere and is a blast to drive! It looks, feels, and drives like a real convertible but you never need to worry about the top not working!!! Here is your chance to own a Thunderbird convertible for about a third of what a real one in this condition would sell for!!!!!

Feel free to email with questions or call me at 440-785-2687.

Shipping of the car is the responsibility of the buyer. However, I am happy to assist in finding transportation of the vehicle.

Ford dealer loses Super Bowl bet, pays $300K to lucky customers [w/video]

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

A Missouri Ford dealership's Super Bowl weekend sale cost it big when the improbable happened. Hutcheson Ford ran a promotion from January 29 to February 1, called the Super Weekend Sale. The gist was, if any customer purchased a vehicle between those dates and either the opening or second-half kickoff of the big game was returned for a touchdown, the dealership would refund the purchase price.
In the dealership's defense, it seemed like a safe bet. According to the mathematicians, there was just a 2.5-percent chance of either half opening with a touchdown return. But that didn't stop Seattle's Percy Harvin from doing his part to ruin Denver's evening, returning the second-half kick for an 87-yard touchdown run. Twelve Hutcheson customers were eligible for refunds thanks to the return, with prices ranging from $10,000 to $55,000, according to Automotive News. The total amount shelled out by the dealership? $300,000.
"At least we're not like that furniture guy that lost $7 million," dealership marketing manager Kathleen Frazier told AN. We think it was a big success." The dealership did take out insurance to cover its losses, meaning the $300K won't come entirely from its pockets.

Retro Wrong: MotorWeek shares first unaired pilot episode

Fri, Apr 17 2015

MotorWeek is an automotive institution in the United States. We all have to get our start somewhere though, and for the latest entry in the Retro Review series, the show is releasing its unaired pilot for the first time. Even today, the program isn't necessarily the most exciting thing on TV, but the modern incarnation looks like Top Gear compared to this original, very monotone attempt. The cars on display are more interesting from a historical aspect than actually being behind the wheel. MotorWeek puts the Chevrolet Citation and Ford Fairmont head to head. If you want to see progress in the auto industry, look here. The Fairmont manages a rousing 85 horsepower from a 3.3-liter inline six, and the Citation does only a little better with a 115-hp, 2.8-liter V6. The other highlight comes at the end when John Davis talks about the cars of the future. These include the upcoming introduction of the Ford Escort in the US and the mention of a possible gasoline-electric hybrid from General Motors. Given this pilot, it's amazing MotorWeek ever got the green light. However, if you're a fan of auto history, seeing the news from the past is always fascinating.

US Air Force Thunderbirds Mustang fetches $400K at auction

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

For the last six years, Ford has created a special version of the Mustang with a military aviation theme, and then donated the car to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to be auctioned off at the annual AirVenture event, also known as The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration. The money raised goes to the EAA Young Eagles program to inspire the "aviation pioneers of tomorrow," and this year's 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition was won with a final bid of $398,000.
Celebrating 60 years of the USAF's Thunderbirds, this Mustang GT is the only one of its kind with a paint job matching the Thunderbirds' F-16 Falcon jets and some Ford Racing performance added on for good measure. Including this car, Ford has helped raise around $2.3 million for the charity with the biggest auction price coming from the first year of the program, the F-22 Raptor-inspired Mustang AV8R from 2008, which sold for $500,000.
