1955 Ford 2 Door Club Sedan. A True Barn Find! 99% Complete. on 2040-cars
Yukon, Oklahoma, United States
|
Offered at auction is my 1955 Ford 2 Door Club Sedan. eBay does not offer a "Club Sedan" model so I had to list it in the 'Crown Victoria" section. It is NOT a Crown Victoria but the Club Sedan which the Crown Vic model is based on. I recently purchased this highly collectible automobile with the intent of restoring it to it's original beauty. I have since realized that I have too many projects (1946 Chevrolet Truck, 1953 Chevrolet Truck, 1977 GMC Desert Fox, 1964 Honda 300 Dream, etc.) so my time line for restoring this classic is years down the road. Rather than store it I am offering it for auction and hope the new owner will bring it back to it's original condition. Rust is an issue with this car. There are small rust areas on the front fenders but not serious. The headlight eye brows are in GREAT SHAPE with no rust issues at all. The rocker panels are in good condition. Interior floor boards will need replacing or repair. Rear quarter panels are in need of replacement. You can purchase replacement quarter panels on eBay for $165.00 each. That is very affordable USA made fenders that make this a VERY restorable classic. Try that with a 55 Chevy and you will spend tens of thousands just in parts. The engine is the original 272 V8 "Y" engine (highly collectible itself) and turns freely. The frame is in good condition as well as under the hood. There are no major rust issues with the engine compartment, frame, etc. All of the chrome trim is complete and mostly in good condition. The windshield and rear glass are in good condition as well as the rear passenger glass. Both driver and passenger door glass will need to be replaced. I have not been able to open the trunk (no key but have the original ignition key) so I am not sure what is in the trunk or the condition of the trunk floor but you should assume it needs to be replaced. I can see the spare tire and the driver door interior panel in the trunk area (through the rear seat springs into the trunk area). The previous owner "thinks" the oil bath air filter is in the trunk but I honestly don't know yet. I'll try and get a locksmith out here and get the trunk opened in the next few days. I have all four steel rims AND all four original hub caps. Tires are shot (but I did put two new rear tires on it just to be able to load it on my trailer). Brakes are shot (I assume). Transmission shifter is hooked up and appears to shift through all positions and "park" does work to keep the car from rolling. The car is located in Paul's Valley, Oklahoma (50 miles south of Oklahoma City) and I encourage you to take a look prior to bidding if at all possible. I live in the Oklahoma City area so prior arrangements will need to be made so I can meet you to show the car. I have taken a lot of photos of the car and will post as many as possible on the Ebay listing. I can send you additional photos if you request them. I have a very modest reserve set on this car so bid to own. I require a $500 NON REFUNDABLE deposit (weeds out the non serious bidders) within 24 hours of the auctions' end so be sure you are serious about buying it if you win the bid. The balance is due within 7 days and payable only by cash or wire transfer. I will help load the car on a trailer for transport and will help the winning bidder to arrange transport if needed BUT I can not deliver the car since my job will prevent me from taking the time off. I understand the complications of buying a vehicle on eBay and trust me I will do everything possible on my end to eliminate the headaches of such a transaction. In other words I can and will work with you to make this as pleasant a transaction as possible. You can reach me at (405) 328-4309 between 8:00 AM CDT and 8:00PM CDT or through the eBay route. Thanks for looking and good luck. Yes, I will answer any question as best I can and as honestly as I can and as fast as I can. |

Shelby GT500 laps N"urburgring in under 7:40?
Wed, 30 Oct 2013A couple of weeks ago we brought you footage and official times of the new Chevy Camaro Z/28 lapping the Nürburgring. With a 7:37.47 lap time, the Z/28 emerged as the fastest muscle car ever to lap the circuit. But what was missing from that picture was how fast the king of all Mustangs, the Shelby GT500, could manage to lap the Nordschleife.
Ford never released any information or footage of the GT500 on the Nürburgring that we were aware of - that is, until the guys at SVTPerformance.com put in a request for Mustang videos. Among the clips they received was never-seen, in-car footage of the Shelby GT500 lapping the circuit. And boy did it hustle.
Although not quite official, the video seems to show the GT500 lapped the venerated German track in a touch under 7:40. That would make it a tick or two faster than the Camaro ZL1 - but what of the Z/28? By Chevy's quoted time, the Z/28 is still faster than the GT500, but SVTPerformance suggests GM may have fudged the numbers a bit and scrubbed half a second or so off their lap time.
24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two
Sun, Jun 19 2016We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.
2013 Shelby 1000 unleashes its 1,200 horsepower ahead of NY show reveal
Fri, 22 Mar 2013True story: Last fall, I had the opportunity to spend a week with Ford's new 2013 Shelby GT500 - the Blue Oval's factory Mustang with 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque. It's an amazing beast, to be sure. I'm not sure if it was Michigan's damp streets strewn with potholes and wet leaves, but at no point did I ever say to myself, "You know, Ford is on to a really good thing here, but what it really needs is about twice the power." And yet, for people in warmer climes with infrastructure in better nick - or for those whose muscle cars live their lives out on the track, there's apparently sufficient demand to warrant just such a beast.
Quick studies will recall that Shelby American launched its 1000 last year to commemorate its 50th anniversary, but it is returning to the New York Auto Show with a fresh version based on the 2013 GT500 I drove. The 2013 Shelby 1000 whips up 1,200 horsepower on pump gas thanks to beefed-up forced induction, engine internals and cooling. Wisely, it also incorporates an adjustable suspension and big brake package to make sure those ponies have the best chance being safely deployed to the ground.
What price the world's most powerful "production" muscle car? $154,995 for starters - donor GT500 not included. What, no convertible variant?
