1955 Crown Victoria glass top, VIN# U5SF151113# which is an “M” coded car which means it has a 272 4-barrel high performance engine, power steering, power brakes, 4-way power seat, power windows, factory dual exhausts. The car was purchased in Massachusetts in 1962 for which the owner has a bill of sale. The car was stored in a barn in 1964 while the owner attended school in Europe. To make a long story short, one of the beams in the barn broke away and fell on the passenger side rear quarter window section breaking the quarter window and damaging the roof line which caused a long crack in the glass roof and minor roof damage. When the owner returned he had the car removed and put in a garage where it was taken apart. After thinking it over he decided that he was going to have it repaired but didn’t have the money so he knew it would be a long time before the car would be fixed. He removed all of the interior, head liner, power seats and rear seats, door panels, rear quarter panels. He also removed all the outside stainless steel. The grille was removed and was sent away for re-plating. The front and rear bumpers and bumper guards were sent away for re-plating also. A new glass top was also ordered at a hefty price. To this day the glass top is still wrapped in the factory wrapping. The bumpers and grille are also still wrapped. You can see them in the pictures of the open door of the trailer. If you look carefully on the left hand side you’ll find the bumpers and on the right hand side you will find the glass top wrapped in plastic wrapping. Underneath the glass you have the front windshield and the rear glass and a box of all new glass rubbers for all the new glass. Now after 4 or 5 years he thought he found a body shop that could do the job and that just didn’t work out. The car stayed in the shop for quite a few years. A few years later he found another place but that didn’t work out either. Then he called me. I knew of the right guy. Specializes in Crown Victorias and glass tops. He made arrangements to have it done and sent it to him. For some reason I don’t know they couldn’t agree on a price and money was even scarcer than it was before so it stayed there, outside, for many, many years. All the time that it was there the shop owner tried to keep the body covered and away from the weather. In reality you still have a 1955 Crown Victoria glass top, complete car that still hasn’t been repaired. All the good stuff, glass top, and chromed articles, seats and upholstery were stored away. The only thing that was left out was the body that was pretty well emptied years ago. Somewhere during that time there was some vandalism and someone had taken the power window lift units but left the glass and everything else. Can’t go on forever so if you want more information call me at: (207)873-5402 for the rest of the story. I will put all the pictures I have so you will have an idea of what I didn’t mention. The parts and the remaining vehicle are being sold AS IS, where is with no warranty, expressed, written or implied. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have asked all of the questions necessary or thoroughly inspected the vehicle and to have satisfied himself or herself of the condition. If you are not sure about something please ask. Once again if you have questions please email. I reserve the right to end this sale if the vehicle is no longer available for sale. |

Ford Mondeo with 1.5-liter EcoBoost debuts in China
Sat, 20 Apr 2013Does the car above, posing fancifully in white, look familiar? Well, it should. Although it wears Mondeo badges in the form you see above for the Chinese market - as it does in Europe - the car is basically the same thing sold in the US as the Ford Fusion. Of course, it's what's under that shapely skin that counts.
Ford has chosen the Shanghai Motor Show as the venue with which to unveil its 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine. We'd heard about the engine before, but now we have a few performance estimates to share: 133 kW of power (about 178 horsepower) and 240 Nm of torque (about 177 pound-feet).
Those numbers pretty much confirm previous rumors indicating about 177 in each category, and it's right on par with what Ford's own 1.6-liter EcoBoost produces. Ford is claiming best-in-class fuel economy as well, but no specific figures have yet been provided. In any case, we'll surely have all the data soon enough, as the 1.5-liter mill is destined for the US Fusion in 2014.
Ford, GM still doing new business with Takata amidst airbag crisis
Thu, Nov 20 2014Lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. You might expect automakers to be fleeing any connection with beleaguered supplier Takata in the wake of the company's exploding airbag inflator crisis. After all, with a Senate hearing, pending lawsuit, plummeting stock value and demand for a national recall, the tier-one supplier isn't at its strongest right now. However, years of cooperation mean that automakers are standing by Takata, and necessity may be playing a role, as well. About 39 percent of Takata's business comes from airbags, and seatbelts make up another significant chunk of the operation too, says Bloomberg. The long-term relationships and lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. "Takata has so much product breadth that I don't really see that they could just disappear," said AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan to Bloomberg. For example, Takata helped develop the unique front center airbag with General Motors in models like the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Outside of safety tech, it is also a partner with Ford on the adaptive steering system available on the upcoming 2015 Edge. These long-lasting partnerships make change difficult now that there's a problem. According to Reuters, automakers claim it would take a year or longer to set up with a different supplier for replacement airbag inflators. Switching to a completely different part for the repairs might not be a viable option either, because of the engineering time needed. BMW is taking action, though. According to Reuters, the Bavarian brand is working with the supplier to move inflator production from Monclova, Mexico, to a Takata factory in Freiburg, Germany. The Mexican plant may be the source of some of the faulty parts. News Source: Bloomberg, ReutersImage Credit: Jens Meyer / AP Photo BMW Ford GM Safety Takata airbag recall
Ford Transit Skyliner Concept is a Gulfstream for the road
Sat, 12 Apr 2014If you are afraid to fly or just want to arrive at your ultimate destination in absolute comfort, then the Ford Transit Skyliner concept might be the perfect vehicle for you. Built by Galpin Auto Sports and based on a 2015 Transit, the van is basically a private jet on wheels. It even has a touch of Transformers about it with the ability to switch between four modes by pressing a button in a smartphone app.
Based on the long wheelbase, high-roof model with 487 cubic feet of cargo space and 6 feet, 9.5 inches of interior height, the Skyliner has movable captains chairs that shift around among four modes. In theater mode, the seats turn and recline to face a 52-inch retractable movie screen with 7.2 surround sound. For business, a motorized table unfolds, and the chairs gather around it. There is a mode for tailgating where the door opens four-feet wide, and, when traveling, passengers can recline back with footrests that extend for maximum comfort.
To make the ride even plusher, there is a satellite and media server to meet your entertainment needs, and there is even a built-in bar in the back. If this Ford had a bathroom, you could live in it. Of course, you would need to hire a driver to enjoy all the amenities in the back.
