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.

Ford blimp crashes inside Portland Trail Blazers arena

Fri, Dec 5 2014

Portland basketball fans got a free, very safe recreation of the Hindenburg disaster when a Ford airship crashed into the stands during a game between the Trail Blazers and Indiana Pacers. Reportedly no one was hurt, but arena staff trying to push the inflatable vehicle through a hole it was too big for, made for some fantastic video and photos. This content is hosted by a third party.

The first gives an idea of just how hard it was to fit the blimp through the exit of the arena, and the second is a time-lapse look from someone right next to the action.

Ford calling in 28k Edge crossovers over fuel line leak

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.

Drive Ford's new Mustang in Need For Speed Rivals

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

If waiting for the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang to hit dealerships is just too tall of an order, you'll be happy to hear that there is now an alternative means of getting behind the wheel of America's favorite pony car. The Mustang is making its video game debut in Need For Speed Rivals.
"We worked closely with the development team at EA to provide them with engineering data for the new Mustang, several months before we showed it to the rest of the world," said Ford product licensing manager Mark Bentley. "Computer design models enabled the game developers to create an accurate representation of the new Mustang before it goes on sale."
Players will have access to five unique designs for the Mustang, allowing a degree of individuality beyond solid colors and decals. According to Digital Marketing Manager Andrea Zuehlk of Ford, those designs are drawn from the four most popular designs on the Mustang Customizer, an online, mobile and tablet app that allows the public to design their own custom Mustang. A fifth design, penned by drift racer Vaughn Gittin, Jr., is also available.
