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

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.

The history and future of the Ford Bronco

Tue, 17 Jun 2014



Some have suggested that the Bronco's demise was hastened by the fallout from the O.J. trial.
Twenty years ago today, ex-NFL linebacker Al "A.C." Cowlings drove his friend and onetime running back Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson on a parade lap of the Los Angeles highway system and onto an ignoble page of the history books. If you're in your late 20s or older, or a fastidious young student of 1990s American history, you're absolutely aware that Al and O.J.'s steed for the 'chase' was a white Ford Bronco. The white Ford Bronco, even.

1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
