1955 Ford Thunderbird

This is a very rare opportunity to own a very unique, classic, collectable automobile.

This finely built Thunderbird 1955 reproduction is of the best quality and highly sought after. Sold thru Ford Motor Company it's very limited production makes it hard to find a model like it today.

It's body is completely fiberglass, 1/2" to 3/4" throughout and completely hand formed and blocked.Countless hours went into this fabrication. The paint is Ferrai Testa-Rosa red and it's beautiful.

The dimensions and details very closely match the original factor steel bodied 1955 Thunderbird only better and here's why:
Fiber glass body will never rust
Cruise control
Air conditioning
Tilt wheel
Floor mats with Thunderbird logos
AM/FM/CD player with 6 speakers
Continental Kit
5 Vogue tires
Tru-spoke wheels
302 Mustang V-8 engine
Edelbrock Cam
Edelbrock 4 barrel carb
Edelbrock Valve covers
Heating and Defrosting system
Fully lined and carpeted trunk
Authentic Two-tone door panels and bench seat
2 Tops, 1 Matching Red Hard top with port hole window and 1 Tan soft top
All windows are Herculite

All this and roomier inside for a person over 6' tall. As you may not know the original did not have all these features or have that much room. You have to look hard to see a difference from the original 1955 Thunderbird.

The power train is an original 1984 Ford Mustang, 302 engine, trans and frame with this body dropped on. Completely hand built. The upholsterers who did the interior were from the Illinois Thunderbird Club who do only 1955, 1956, and 1957. Also being hand built, the spaces between doors, hood and trunk are perfectly spaced, unlike any factory steel body.

This car was made with Shay Thunderbird molds, that were the best. See their website:
http://www.shayhistory.com/HistoryShay.html
Shay no longer exists, but these limited production Thunderbirds were produced by Paul Housey of Camalot Motors.

It has a hard top and convertible top with zippered window for venting when the top is up. The car has 12,075 original miles and is a cream puff in every way, a real beauty. Garage kept since day one and is a pleasure to drive. I hate to sell but this car deserves to be driven or shown. I am the original owner so feel free to ask me anything about the car. Car can be viewed upon request.

Buy is responsible for pick-up/delivery.

$2000 non refundable deposit required within 24 hours by winning bidder.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Bid with confidence.

Ford confirms Everest SUV production for China

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

According to Ford, the Chinese SUV segment grew by 49 percent in 2013, and the Blue Oval held a 4.5 percent market share. At the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, Ford is showing the Everest SUV that, while just a concept for now, will go into production in the near future.
The Everest is a big, brawny seven-seat SUV that mixes solid, chiseled styling and contemporary Ford design cues. Up front there is an angular version of the trapezoidal grille and sharp, wraparound headlights. The beltline rises in the rear to make the back appear higher than the front. The rear seems just as chiseled, with the taillights resting in jagged scallops. There is no doubt that this concept means to look rugged, and ready for rough roads - the whole thing looks pretty great.
The truck was penned by Ford's Asia Pacific design and engineering team in Australia, and it was first shown in Sydney last year. Ford's JMC joint venture will build the truck for the Chinese market, and it will be sold at Ford dealers there. The Blue Oval isn't hinting at what powers the production version yet, but it reportedly shares some components with the foreign-market Ranger.

First 500 European Ford Mustangs reserved in 30 seconds [w/video]

Thu, 29 May 2014

We're pretty sure that any initial concerns Ford had about selling the redesigned Mustang in Europe have been lessened considerably, after the first 500 Euro-spec 2015 Mustangs were been reserved in just 30 seconds. Moreover, 9,300 people attempted to snag one of the coveted orders for the all-new muscle car. Yes, Mustang, you should do quite well across the pond.
The registration event was held during the UEFA (pronounced yu-eh-fa) Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
"We knew there was huge excitement building for the new Ford Mustang coming to Europe, but the response during the UCL Final was overwhelming," said Roelant de Waard, VP of marketing, sales and service for Ford's European outfit. "It was a truly special way to kick off the Ford Mustang era in Europe."
