Here Is a true barn find of a rare classic. A 1955 Crown Victoria that has been garaged and off the road i=since 1961, This car still wears its Maine plates with the metal tag for 1960. This is a nearly complete Project car. I say nearly complete, because the previous owner took out the motor and trans then took the engine apart. We found a couple y blocks, heads, and tin. I will include the used parts that the car is Missing, but there may be some small bits we just dont have, I found in the trunk the orig intake and front cover, teapot holley 4v carb, and big oil bath air cleaner. amongst some other bits and pieces. The condition of the car is Good in my opinion for a 60 year old northeast car. There is a couple small holes in the spare tire well, and the interior floors are scaley but I didnt see any holes. I removed what was left of the carpet in an attempt to clean it out and get a view of the floors. The orig seats are still in the car, we did remove the rear seat to get into the trunk as we dont have the keys. the glass is in good shape except for the rh vent window, but will include a good used one. the stainless trim is in good shape...there is a lot of it and with a good buffing will shine like brand new,Again this car needs a restoration or throw a motor in it and drive it as it is...although it has been sitting for over 50 years, so id recommend checking everything out first. The clock shows 46k and I believe that to be original mileage. The dash is all there and in good shape even has the radio, the glove box door was down and didnt want to go up so I let it be rather than bend anything, needs to soak in some penetrating oil to be freed up. You can see in the picture its missing one headlamp door, we do have that, also the rear stone guards in front of the rear tires. Only thing thats missing is the trunk moulding, and we may have that just havnt come across it yet, this has the rear antennae option also. All in all this is a great restoration project of a really cool old car, I also have a Ton of NOS parts that came with the car that we can talk about if you win the car, some of those parts include Trunk moulding, lock sets,suspension,trim, windshield and back lite, lenses, housing, bumper guards, hub caps, trim, chrome, speedometer, and lots lots more. I have a spreadsheet with over 250 items on it and still have more to list. This is a project car and sold as is how is and every other kind of is. Ask questions before bidding, ill be glad to answer anything you might want to know or ill find out, Car is located in Eastern Ct. A 500$ non refundable deposit is due within 24 hrs of the end of the auction. its non refundable only because I still have to pay the ebay fees if you back out. If you dont have the Money please dont bid. check out my other auctions for nos parts and great used stuff for ford products. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is also for sale locally...thank you and good luck Id love to see this car go to a good home, and we could help you with the restoration if youd like. Ct Doesnt title vehicles pre 1981 so this car is sold with a bill of sale. You could get a title fairly easily if it was required. we may have that just not found it yet also, if we do find it more than happy to include it after the fact.

Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief
Thu, 29 May 2014The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST
Thu, 23 Jan 2014The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.
Have a look below and let us know what you think of MT's verdict in Comments.
