1955 Ford Thunderbird Base Convertible 2-door 4.8l on 2040-cars
Warsaw, Indiana, United States
|
1955 Ford Thunderbird 31,500 ORIGINAL mileage The car has no rust and has no evidence of it ever having rust. Trunk and floors are perfect. Bottom of doors are perfect. I've added pictures of both. Five years ago this car was appraised at $48,500.00. The paint was in better shape. A fresh coat of paint would make it a $40k car! NADA values are $25k to $55k; Hagarty is $20k to $60k. My bottom price is a firm $25,000.00. You should see what Amos Mintor sells his t-birds for; this is a deal for a low-mileage t-bird!! This car is an investment, which you will never loose money, nor are they going down in price. Car is current on license, registration, and insurance. Clear Indiana title showing ACTUAL MILEAGE. I also have two previous title copies with milage actual. Main reason for selling the car we have a 10 month old and don't have the extra time to enjoy the car anymore. The car was repainted snowshoe white, in the early 80's. The paint is 30+ years old and could use fresh paint, but overall still looks good. Interior is very nice - black and white. 6 volt - 4 ply bias wide white wall tires A lot of options include: AM Radio, power brakes, power steering, power seats, power windows, windshield washers, and backup lights. The motor is original 292 with teapot Holley carb. Hard top - only car has swing up bracket so convertible top could be added - not included. Not many original 1955 Thunderbirds around with 31,500 actual mileage - body is solid - car has not been messed with a lot; just sat in a couple peoples collection. SERIOUS inquiries only - no low-ballers, solicitors - no trades - CASH MONEY. Car is sold as is, so please ask questions. Buyer is responsible for making own arrangements to pick up car. |

2014 Ford Fusion to get 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder?
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Just one year after launching the all-new 2013 Fusion, Ford is reportedly set to alter the sedan's powertrain lineup with the addition of a new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. A member of Blue Oval Forums apparently got their hands on the ordering guide for the 2014 model year Fusion, and this 1.5-liter mill is set to be introduced with late availability.
This lines up with other news about the Chinese-market Mondeo being offered with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost - a derivative of the 1.0-liter triple that will come to North America under the hood of the Fiesta (note: the 1.0 is also offered in the current Euro-spec Mondeo). In the Chinese application, the larger three-pot engine produces 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, which is very close to the current 1.6-liter inline-four's output numbers of 178 hp and 184 lb-ft.
What's interesting, however, is that the 1.6-liter engine will reportedly still be offered in the Fusion, but only with the six-speed manual transmission. The smaller 1.5-liter EcoBoost will only be mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic, and will feature start/stop. This means that while the 1.5 is slightly down on power compared to the 1.6, it could easily improve fuel economy numbers, allowing the Fusion to regain the title of having the best mileage in the segment, likely besting the 38 miles per gallon of the Nissan Altima. Currently, the Fusion 1.6 is rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway.

Pickup prices rising at 2x industry average
Tue, 11 Jun 2013We've said it before, but bears repeating: Pickup trucks are the financial engines of America's automakers. Good thing, then, that the segment is in rude health - in fact, Automotive News is suggesting that pickup truck sales are arguably healthier than they were pre-recession, even though the segment's volume is still significantly down from where it was before the bottom fell out of the US economy. That's because per-unit profits on full-size trucks are skyrocketing, outpacing the industry's average price increases by more than double since 2005. According to data from Edmunds, the average transaction price of a full-size pickup is now $39,915 - a heady increase over the $31,059 average price in 2005 - a gain of over 8 percent after inflation is factored in.
Just how important are trucks to automakers' bottom lines? Automotive News quotes a Morgan Stanley analyst as saying the Ford F-Series is responsible for 90 percent of the company's 2012 profits, and General Motors isn't far behind, with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins chipping in about two-thirds of the automaker's earnings.
Automotive News points out that Detroit's automakers now have the money to invest in modernizing their full-size truck offerings, in part because they don't have the same overhead and legacy costs that pushed General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy. Certainly, the pickup segment has seen a lot of innovations as of late, including turbocharged V6s, coil-spring rear suspensions and active aero. Those improvements in important areas like fuel economy and ride comfort have given existing pickup buyers new reasons to upgrade. In addition, automakers are piling on the tech and luxury goodies, creating more and more high-content, high-profit models like the Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Chevrolet Silverado High Country (shown).
