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. |

VW, Rivian, Nissan, BMW, Genesis, Audi and Volvo lose EV tax credits starting tomorrow
Mon, Apr 17 2023The U.S. Treasury said Monday that Volkswagen, BMW, Nissan, Rivian, Hyundai and Volvo electric vehicles will lose access to a $7,500 tax credit under new battery sourcing rules. The Treasury said the new requirements effective Tuesday will also cut by half credits for the Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Rear Wheel Drive to $3,750 but other Tesla models will retain the full $7,500 credit. Vehicles losing credits Tuesday are the BMW 330e, BMW X5 xDrive45e, Genesis Electrified GV70, Nissan Leaf , Rivian R1S and R1T, Volkswagen ID.4 as well as the plug-in hybrid electric Audi Q5 TFSI e Quattro and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) electric Volvo S60. The Swedish carmaker is 82%-owned by China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. The rules are aimed at weaning the United States off dependence on China for EV battery supply chains and are part of President Joe Biden's effort to make 50% of U.S. new vehicle sales by 2030 EVs or PHEVs. Hyundai said in a statement it was committed to its long-range EV plans and that it "will utilize key provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act to accelerate the transition to electrification." Rivian declined to comment and the other automakers could not immediately be reached for comment. Treasury also disclosed General Motors electric Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV will qualify for the full $7,500 tax credit. GM said earlier it expected at least some of its EVS would qualify for the $7,500 tax credit under the new rules, including the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq and forthcoming Chevrolet Equinox EV SUV and Blazer EV SUV. Treasury said all GM EVs will qualify. Earlier, Ford Motor and Chrysler-parent Stellantis said most of their electric and PHEV models would see tax credits halved to $3,750 on April 18. Treasury confirmed the automakers' calculations. The rules were announced last month and mandated by Congress in August as part of the $430 billion Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The IRA requires 50% of the value of battery components be produced or assembled in North America to qualify for $3,750, and 40% of the value of critical minerals sourced from the United States or a free trade partner for a $3,750 credit. The law required vehicles to be assembled in North America to qualify for any tax credits, which in August eliminated nearly 70% of eligible models and on Jan. 1 new price caps and limits on buyers income took effect.
2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.
Bodie Stroud seriously updates the 1956 Ford F-100 into the BSI X-100
Tue, Mar 24 2015If you thought pickups could use a lot more love in the resto-mod world, then Bodie Stroud – he of "The Real Thing" Mustang – has something for you: the BSI X-100. His team starts with the body of a 1956 Ford F-100, but the sheetmetal is about all the nostalgia you're going to get; the body, tweaked with a chopped hood and a larger rear window on the cab, sits on a custom steel ladder-frame chassis. Out back is a one-piece, tubbed bed, and behind that are taillights from a 1948 (gasp!) Chevrolet. Under that hood is either a 412-horsepower, 5.0-liter Ford Racing Coyote crate engine, or a supercharged, 6.0-liter, 630-hp Ford Racing Aluminator motor, shifting through a Ford 4R70W four-speed automatic. Inside, the dash is reworked to fit gauges from a Ford F-150 King Ranch Edition, and the bench is swapped out for buckets from a Mustang GT. The independent front and four-link rear suspension are adjustable, helping to make room for staggered wheels - 19 inches in front, 20 inches in back, and larger can be accommodated. Six-piston Wilwood brakes handle the stopping. There's a lot of fabrication and hand-work involved, and it doesn't come cheap: BSI says the turnkey package starts at $180,000. If you've got it, this is an exceptional way to flaunt it. The press release below has all the details. THE BSI 1956 X-100: TIMELESS LINES, MODERN TECH New pickup from Bodie Stroud Industries melds the iconic style of the 1956 F-100 with a cutting-edge chassis and drivetrain to create a hand-built, all-new truck with the performance and reliability of a modern sports car. Sun Valley, Calif. (March, 2015) – In an era when anyone can walk into a dealership with good credit and a yearning to go fast and drive out in a 500+ horsepower sports car, owning and driving something truly unique has become a challenge. With that in mind, the craftsmen at Los Angeles-based Bodie Stroud Industries (BSI) have come up with something truly special – a brand new line of hand-built, turn-key pickups with the looks and sheet metal of an American icon, subtly massaged and fitted to a modern chassis and powered by the latest engine, transmission and electronics from Detroit. The result is the world's first all-new, turn-key 1956 Pickup: the BSI X-100. "When most people think about classic trucks, what comes to mind is usually the 1956 F-100, it's one of the most timeless designs of all time," says BSI founder Bodie Stroud.
