1955 Ford Convertible Classic Or Street Rod Hot Rod Antique Show Car 55 Ford on 2040-cars
Stow, Ohio, United States
Finally.......after 29 years of enjoyment, the owner has decided to say goodbye to her pride and joy. Purchased in 1985, the owner and her husband did a complete frame off restoration of this beauty, and she has only put on 12,407 miles since it's completion in 2000. This car was built right twice. Once by old Henry Ford himself, and again by this couple. This is a numbers matching Ford that is completely stock in appearance except it was upgraded to a 12 volt electrical system with Petronix ignition, and a 57 intake manifold with Holly 390 four barrel carburetor was installed. The original intake manifold and carb go with the car if desired. Also, the name painted on the deck lid will be removed without damage to the paint if desired. Power steering and fender skirts were the only options added when originally purchased. The engine is the stock re-built original 272 v8 connected to the Fordomatic transmission. The am radio has an fm converter added. I am assisting the owner in the sale of this great classic, and upon close inspection was not able to notice any area that has any signs of rust or filler. This car is solid and runs and drives perfectly. I did see two extremely minor flaws which include a small ding on one piece of stainless that is barely noticeable, and a tiny pinhole and scrape on a lower corner of the top as shown in one of the pictures. We have priced the car WELL BELOW #2 prices and WAY BELOW #1 prices shown in NADA, Hemmings Price Guide, and the Collector Car Price Guide. It is also priced well below comparable vehicles shown in the Old Car Auction Bible for auction prices realized in 2012 & 2013 that covers 50 national auctions across the country. So here is your chance to make a solid investment where you can already be ahead in the game while enjoying miles & miles of fun as you drive it rather than sitting at your computer watching the stock market. If you have less than 3 positive eBay feedback, you MUST first e-mail your name and phone number for me to call before bidding or your bid may be cancelled. A $500 non-refundable deposit must be received within 48 hours of auction end with balance in full received within 7 calendar days of end of auction. Cash or bank wire transfer gets immediate possession of car and title. If you have any questions or would like to arrange a personal viewing please call Jack at 330/389-0456. I don't use texting, so please call or use eBay mail. I am assisting the owner in this sale and can get answers to most questions you may have. |

Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.

Subcompact sales slump, yet again
2015 Ford Edge holds line on pricing, starts at $28,100*
Tue, 04 Nov 2014The Ford Edge gets an updated platform, bolder styling and a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine pumping out 245 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque for the 2015 model year. You might expect that all those new features would result in a big price bump, but you'd be wrong. Ford is keeping costs identical to the 2014 model with a starting MSRP of $28,100 (*plus an $895 destination charge), according to Edmunds. Ford spokesperson William Mattiace confirmed the numbers to Autoblog.
That's a pretty good deal, but the real ticket here might be the model's Sport trim. Buyers get a 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 EcoBoost engine with over 300 horsepower and standard adaptive steering for $28,600 plus destination. That's just $500 more than the base model.
Pricing for the Titanium trim has not yet been announced, but it'll be a short wait to find out. Mattiace tells Autoblog that full pricing and the configuration for the model will launch on November 5. He has also confirmed that the 2015 Edge will begin hitting dealers in the first quarter of 2015.
