!959 Ford has rare fe motor with solid lifters and adjustable rockers from Ford. Engine is stuck, but I have just taken heads off, rare machined combustion chambers, and I am sure I can get it apart. I do not know if it needs to be bored yet, but I would figure a bore job and new pistons. Also it would accept a 390 crank. I have almost all straight stainless for car except bottom drivers side rear quarter and top of left front fender and left front door. It needs a right door skin floor patched in front where your heals are at. both inner rockers outer rockers. bottom of left and right quarters and some inner quarter repairs floor pans in rear seat are ok.I have seat covers out of an inca gold convertible interior (used) but nice. Remove inca gold material and sew red as interior was red and black. The inca gold seat covers are originally abc interior. White and black is as new. Door panel have original red and black poor cond. and pretty fair ones out of 2 door sedan 59 original. It has a cruiseomatic trans cond. unknown. Scored windshield in two spots extreme left of windshield. It is not in frontal view ,but to one side. I will polish out some. I have repairable front fenders for car as well as front and back rechromeable bumpers. Bumpers on car are very poor.Dash and column have been disassembled some what, but I believe parts are all in the car. Car has factory power steering. I have a pump for the engine, but it is not on the engine.Both washboards are shot as are the front fender clamshells.The glass I believe to be all good except for scored windshield which may or may not be acceptable to you. I can find no holes in the frame. I restored a 59 convertible 20 years ago and this one is much better then the one I did and I am still driving it today. It is a project. The car has no wiper motor on it, I have a vaccum wiper motor for it. Has a town and country radio which I have no idea if it functions, electric clock also. Five steel rims. Call if you have questions. Also will deliver car and and parts for 1.00 a mile.

SERIOUS BIDDERS PLEASE, THANK YOU AND MAY ALL YOUR CARS BE FAST AND BEAUTIFUL.
On Oct-10-13 at 21:36:47 PDT, seller added the following informat. . about the engine if you build it right the right cam crank pistons etc. you can have over 400 hp it does not have 400 hp now not even close nor does . I would gladly visit with anyone that would like to discuss these issues. These are ideas for this project not an actual fact. I can add to this add before someone bids I can not change the wording of the description, but hopefully this makes it clear , I believe it is a rare 58- 332cu in with solid lifters and machined high port heads. I am checking to see if I am correct with someone that should know these things. I could be wrong but I do not think I am at present.

Ford's struggles in China continue as November sales drop 8 percent
Mon, Dec 11 2017Ford's sales in China fell 8 percent in November from a year ago, following a 5 percent decline in October, the U.S. automaker said on Monday. The firm's sales in the first 11 months of the year totaled 1.06 million vehicles, down 6 percent from the same period a year ago. Ford's China sales growth has lagged behind rivals in the world's top auto market this year, with the carmaker now looking to overhaul its strategy to revive growth in China under new chief executive Jim Hackett. Among other moves, the review of its China operations will likely see Ford focus on segments such as electric cars and electric commercial vans, with China encouraging to help clean up its polluted and congested city centers. Ford is looking to roll out more new-energy vehicles for China and is planning to experiment with a more direct selling approach in a partnership with Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford
Thu, 16 Oct 2014The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.
