Here is a Seafoam Green 1955 Thunderbird with aftermarket softtop frame only. This was my mother's car (I went with her to buy it in San Juan Capistrano in 1989) She died in 1993 and my stepfather got the car and restored it in 2000-2001.

He added Disc Brakes (Front) Air conditioning, power steering. The car was basically a rust free car when my mother bought it 24 years ago.

Paint is nearly new, one minor chip where hood closes on driver's side, and a couple around the skirts. Body is about as straight as you can get. Converted to 12 volt system, alternator etc. All gauges work great. All lights and lenses have been replaced. All chrome emblems were replaced with new reproductions. Dark teal dash is original and was in great shape all these years. Metal parts of dash were repainted original seafoam green.

Original 292 V* was rebuilt and only has about 4,000 miles on it. Engine compartment is completely detailed. Fan shroud keeps engine cool and does not overheat. Front disc brakes car stops as good as it looks. Seats and door panels were all redone using correct T Bird patterns and vinyls. Windows roll up and down, power seat works great. Smaller diameter 15 inch repro steering wheel installed.

Bumpers have all been rechromed. Automatic Fordomatic shifts about as good as can be expected for a Fordomatic. Not the greatest trannys I had one in my 63 Falcon when I was 17. Tires are wide whitewall radials and are nearly new. WireWheels were installed in 2002. No oil or tranny leaks.

Swing bar is behind the seat if you want to later install an original Softtop frame but the aftermarket works great and it pretty quiet even at freeway speeds.

When car is warmed up car starts immediately. Typical old Ford you need to pump it a bit when cold. Oil bath cleaner was replaced with NEW Teapot Carb back in 2001.

Beautiful car in the prettiest color (In my opinion) of the 1955's. Seafoam Green to me is the best with Fiesta Red coming in second.

Buyer to arrange and pay for shipping, car is located in East Hollywood (Los Feliz) not far from downtown LA. I can deliver to a local shipper. Car to be paid for within 14 days of auction close. Please email questions before bidding.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation

Sat, 09 Aug 2014

The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.

Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.
