I am very pleased to offer this "EXCEPTIONAL" 1955 Ford Sunliner Convertible. This beautiful American classic has been fully restored to "Show Winning" condition. The restoration was completed about 2 years ago and the car has been driven very little since. The car was painted in a beautiful yellow over white. The paint work is of the highest quality and shows beautifully. The body on this Sunliner was amazingly solid and it shows. The body is straight as an arrow and looks beautiful. All the chrome and bright work has been replaced or rechromed. The convertible top was replaced along with the top motor and lines. The power top functions perfectly. All the glass is in great shape. The car rides on excellent tires and has brand new factory wire wheel covers that look great on this classic. The bottom of the car is very clean with no issues at all. This Sunliner is powered by the optional 292 V8 that was the first year used and most powerful engine offered in 1955. The car runs excellent! The car has the Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission that's make this car a true pleasure to cruise it. The car runs and drives excellent. A very reliable fun car to cruise in!! The interior of the Sunliner has been completely redone. It was done in a matching yellow and white two-tone and looks amazing! The Sunliner looks factory new inside with original Ford Round push button radio, clock, and Ford magic Aire System. This is a very roomy comfortable car. The interior looks beautiful. This car also has power steering and brakes. This really is an exceptional 1955 Sunliner. No expense was spared making this car beautiful and reliable. The car was appraised in 2012 by a world-wide auction company for $75,000. I'm selling this beautiful car to help fund the down payment on a vacation home for my family. I am offering the car "No Reserve" and I'm confident the right people who will appreciate this beautiful car as much as I have will bid it to a fair price. If your looking for a truly beautiful investment quality vintage automobile you found it!! I truly hope it goes to a good home and is appreciated and enjoy!! Thank You for looking at my listing. The car is available for inspection any time during this auction. I would be happy to work with any shippers that may move that car. I am available and will do everything I can to help make this a very smooth easy transaction. I have clear title in hand. If you have any questions I am happy to help answer them!! Thank You and Good Luck!!

Ford Mustang GT350R adds a lot more than just a new letter [w/videos]
Mon, Jan 12 2015Okay Chevrolet, the ball is in your court. Ford served up one hell of a rebuttal to the track-focused Camaro Z/28, introducing the limited-production Mustang GT350R, complete with over 500 horsepower, over 400 pound-feet of torque and freaking carbon-fiber wheels. Carbon-fiber wheels. Seriously. It's because of those 19-inch hoops, along with some other changes, that Ford was able to slice 130 pounds from the already lightweight GT350 Track Pack. The wheels are responsible for a 13-pound reduction in unsprung weight per corner, while the removal of such superfluous things like the air conditioning, stereo, rear seats, trunk carpet, backup camera and tire inflator accounts for the rest of the weight reduction. Along with the lower weight, Ford has thoroughly reworked the GT350's aerodynamics, adding a simply monstrous rear wing and diffuser, along with vented wheel wells, a new hood vent that both extracts heat and reduces lift. Beside the aero aids, Ford has shod the carbon-fiber wheels in ultra-grippy Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, just to guarantee the shiny side remains up. View 21 Photos Ford retained the standard GT350's 5.2-liter, flat-pane V8, Torsen limited-slip differential (complete with a 3.73 rear axle ratio), although as power figures haven't been published for the standard car, there's no way to know whether the GT350R received a power bump. What we do know, though, is that the GT350R will not be limited to the track. While that's certainly its natural habitat, owners will be able to register and drive this monster on public roads. Take a look at the official press release on the GT350R, available below. And also be sure to have a peek at both Ford's stock photos of the new car, as well as our full gallery of live images, direct from the Blue Oval's Detroit Auto Show press conference home at Joe Louis Arena.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia
Fri, Jan 16 2015These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k
Tue, 07 Oct 2014Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
