CONTACT JEFF AT 570 977 0741. Up for sale and your consideration is a really nice 1955 Ford Thunderbird equipped with the original driveline. It has a 292 V8 engine & Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. it is nicely optioned with power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seat, and all power options work just fine. It has had the same owner for 17 years. It is not a 100 point show car but presents very well and is in turn key drive home and enjoy immediately today condition. It was purchased from a neighbor who had it willed to him by his mother who resided in Honolulu, Hawaii, where the car spent much of it's life. The Hawaii inspection sticker is still on the rear bumper and the title shows Hawaii as the state of origin. The odometer shows 31,000 miles on it but I don't have any documentation to prove the mileage is original. The title is listed mileage exempt as many older cars are. The data plate reveals that the car was built in Dearborn, Michigan, (Code F) and originally a black car (Code A) with a black and white interior (Code XA). It apparently received a color change inside and out early on due to the fact that the paint, although still shiny, shows a few areas of age. The car runs, drives & stops fine. Since it spent more time in the garage than on the road for the last 17 years, some items have been replaced and refurbished. The cooling system received a new thermostat, gasket, hoses, water pump, and the radiator was cleaned and pressure tested before re-installation. The gas tank is a brand new stainless steel unit that has just been replaced. The carburetor is a bit dry from sitting and could perform better, so a rebuilt unit is on order and will be on the car before it leaves for it's new home. Transmission has been serviced with a new filter and gasket and fresh fluid as well. This Thunderbird is equipped with the original 1955 Hardtop (No Porthole), but has no softop. This car was personalized with the addition of N.O.S. 50's vintage 4" dummy spots and lake pipes. Again these items are 50's N.O.S. and not plated with the sub standard China Chrome. 1955 Mercury Station Wagon tail lights were installed for a mild custom look, along with 50's vintage spinner hubcaps. Stock tail lights and hubcaps were retained and will go with the car, so it can be returned to stock appearance in a few hours. As you can see in the photos, every area of the car is eye-pleasing. Outside, inside, and underside are all in very nice condition, although not 100 point show quality. The wide-white tires have great tread, and the exhaust is in fine condition. The engine has the optional dress up kit with original finned valve covers. The investment value and desirability of this car speak for themselves. This car is a real head turner that receives thumbs up and horn beeps everywhere it goes and would compliment any garage and would be a hit at the local show or cruise. The car is priced for what it is, with the realization that it is not a rotisserie restoration. Please take the time to look at all the photos.

Spy shooter claims proof of upcoming aluminum Ford F-Series Super Duty
Thu, 26 Jun 2014Ford has already confirmed that the 2015 F-150 (pictured above) was just the beginning for its more extensive use of aluminum. CEO Alan Mulally said it himself during the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. We've even already seen the future Raptor testing with an aluminum body. But a recent discovery from an intrepid spy photographer might indicate that the lightweight metal is coming to the Blue Oval's Super Duty pickups in their upcoming generation, as well.
According to Automotive News, a spy shooter in Colorado spotted a prototype for the next-gen F-350 testing. He happened to have a magnet on hand and got close enough to check the truck out. When he held it up to the metal in the bed, it didn't stick, which signaled to him a switch from steel to aluminum.
Obviously, this claim raises some questions. Given that it was a test vehicle, one possibility is that the Blue Oval is just evaluating the feasibility of switching to aluminum for the Super Duty trucks, not necessarily committed to it yet. Ford has been testing it quite exhaustively, after all. In fact, much of the rest of the truck in question was covered in camouflage, so it's possible that the magnet failed to work along the rest of the body not because it was aluminum, but because it wasn't powerful enough to get through the disguising material. Thus, the lightweight metal's use could be far less substantial than on the new F-150. Still, it was a clever idea for the cameraman to check things out and might have given us the first hint about brand's next heavy-duty models.
Ford Fiesta ST GRC Racecar is hungry for podiums in 2013
Thu, 07 Feb 2013As we reported earlier, the Chicago showing of this plucky Ford Fiesta ST GRC racer points to bigger and brighter days for Global RallyCross. For the upcoming season, you can expect to see Ken Block and Tanner Foust both driving the Ford racecar, and if last season's results are any indication, you can anticipate quite a few podium appearances, as well.
The Fiesta seen here was built by the Swedes at OlsbergsMSE, and will be driven in anger by Foust in 2013. Modifications are, as you'd expect, extensive, and include an engine, exhaust and braking upgrades, a racing style short-throw shifter and a limited-slip differential. As you can see, the car has been fully stripped out and caged for maximum speed and safety, too.
Refresh your memories with the details of the car, in the press releases below. And if you head out to the Chicago Auto Show this year, don't forget to drop by the Ford stand to have a look.
NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall
Tue, Apr 7 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.
