FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION WE HAVE A 1955 FORD THUNDERBIRD CONVERTIBLE. PREVIOUS OWNER SAYS IT WAS #143 OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE. PURCHASED IN MICHIGAN BY HIS FATHER, AND SHIPPED TO PENNSYLVANIA. SO THIS WAS A ONE FAMILY CAR BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. SPENT SOME TIME IN FLORIDA AND THEN DRIVEN TO CALIFORNIA WHERE IT HAS BEEN EVER SINCE. I HAD PLANS OF RESTORING AND PUTTIN' AROUND SANTA CRUZ HERE, BUT SADLY REALIZED THAT AT THIS TIME AND PLACE IN MY LIFE, I DO NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DO SO.
THIS I BELIEVE IS AN EXCELLENT CANDIDATE FOR A RESTORE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS RECORDS DOCUMENTING THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE.....MOST IMPORTANTLY AN ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION REBUILD SOMETIME AROUND 2004/2005. I'M SORRY BUT I CAN'T PINPOINT THE EXACT DATE......JUST GOING BY THE RECORDS/PAPERWORK THAT WAS PROVIDED TO ME BY THE FORMER OWNER. ALL NEW BRAKES AND POWER BOOSTER, 312 INTAKE MANIFOLD, NEW HEADER PIPE, AND A FEW OTHER REPAIRS AT THE SAME TIME ENGINE AND TRANNY REBUILD. NEW GAS TANK IN 2010. POWER WINDOW KIT 55 12V WITH E 2010. RING GEAR BROKE FREE FROM TORQUE CONVERTER......MOTOR AND TRANNY REMOVED, WELDED. REPLACED MOTOR SIDE MOUNTS. INSTALLED NEW WATER PUMP AND THERMOSTAT. REPLACED GENERATOR WITH NEW ALTERNATOR.......ALL DONE IN 2009. PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOW INSTALL 12 CONVERSION KIT 2010. REPLACED FITTING AND LINE FOR FUEL TANK 2010. NEW ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP AND FILTER 2010. WORKS GREAT BUT LOAD. REPLACED SPEEDO AND TACH CABLE 2010. TACH WORKS SPEEDO DOES NOT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE CORRECT MILEAGE, OR VERY CLOSE. THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID NOT DRIVE IT MUCH AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE BECAUSE OF POOR HEALTH. DRIVERS POWER WINDOW MOTOR REPLACED WITH 12 VOLT MOTOR AND REGULATOR, RELAYS AND WIRING 2010. MUCH HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO A 12V SYSTEM WITH I BELIEVE THE EXCEPTION OF THE STARTER. NO PROBLEM CRANKING OVER...PLENTY OF JUICE. I STARTED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN PROBABLY A MONTH WITH NO PROBLEMS......STARTED FIRST TIME. PUTTED AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD A BIT. BATTERY IS A NEW INTERSTATE 12V. IDLES FINE AND SOUNDS GREAT. TEMP GAUGE NOT WORKING. I DROVE IT OVER TO MY MECHANICS SHOP FROM SANTA CRUZ TO SOQUEL AND BACK WITHOUT IT HEATING UP. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FINE. CARB HAS BEEN REPLACED.....NOW HAS A HOLLEY 4-BARREL. I BELIEVE IT HAD AC AT ONE TIME, BUT WITH ALL THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE, WHO KNOWS WHERE IT WOUND UP. TIRES ARE NEW......BF GOODRICH PREMIER P205/75R15 97S WW. WW MOUNTED ON THE INSIDE.
I KNOW THE CAR HAS BEEN REPAINTED AND SOME BODY WORK HAS BEEN DONE. I CAN SEE IT IN THE FRONT, RIGHT-FRONT FENDER AND REAR QUARTERS. THE TRUNK IS FREE OF RUST. THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. I ORDERED AND RECEIVED A NEW DRIVERS SIDE METAL FLOOR FROM LARRYS T-BIRDS.....GOES WITH THE CAR. I FIGURED THE NEW OWNER WOULD RATHER HAVE THIS DONE WITH THEIR GUY/SHOP. THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR HAS A FEW RUST SPOTS, THE LARGEST ABOUT THE SIZE OF A NICKEL, BUT NOT BAD. UNDER THE BENCH SEAT LOOKS GOOD. I TOOK A FEW PICS TRYING TO SHOW UNDERNEATH, BUT CAR IS PRETTY LOW. SEAT IN GREAT SHAPE. SOFT TOP IS THERE AS YOU CAN SEE, BUT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. NO HARD TOP. THE OTHER CARB IN HOLLEY BOX IN TRUNK. ORIGINAL SPARE WITH DUNLOP TIRE, JACK ALSO INCLUDED. 1955 FORD CAR SHOP MANUAL INCLUDED. THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMEONE THAT HAS THE TIME AND MONEY FOR A SEEMINGLY STRAIGHT FORWARD RESTO. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS. I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY. THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK!

Ford vandalizes the SEMA Show floor with 2014 Transit Connect
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.
Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey
Wed, 05 Feb 2014According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US. Scroll down below for all the details from Consumer Reports, if you're so inclined.
Ford Shelby GT350R sets 7:32.19 Nurburgring lap time
Mon, Jan 26 2015It was over a year ago that the Chevy Camaro Z/28 clocked a Nurburgring lap time of 7 minutes and 37.47 seconds, propelling itself up the leader boards as the fastest American muscle car to lap the infamous Nordschleife. But now word has it that another piece of Detroit iron has clocked an even faster time. According to Evo, the new Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang has lapped the Green Hell in a blitzkrieg 7:32.19. That's more than five seconds faster than the Z/28, and propels the GT350R into proper supercar territory: incrementally quicker than the Ferrari 458 Italia and in league with lap times posted by the Nissan GT-R (though not the fastest Godzilla has clocked over the years). With output quoted at "more than 500 horsepower and more than 400 lb-ft of torque," and no 0-60, quarter-mile or top end figures revealed to date, this marks the first genuine measure of performance we've seen for the track-focused pony car - though the numbers have yet to be officially confirmed. The GT350R packs a 5.2-liter V8 unburdened by 130 pounds of excess weight – helped along by carbon-fiber wheels coated in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber. Related Video:
