Thunderbird Description
This 1955 Ford
Thunderbird is my daily driver.(weather permitting) It is not a
show car. Every aspect of this car is daily driver quality and I
drive it. There are many up grades to make it more driver friendly.
I have most of the parts that were removed and they could be put back
on the car. The car runs and drives fine. It has a Y block with a 3 speed overdrive transmission, The shifter linkage needs to be adjusted as it sometimes hangs up not a huge problem just an inconvenience. it has a 9 inch rear end with 389 gears. Has plenty of power but still good on gas due to the overdrive. I believe the drive train is from a 1957. The engine appears to be a 312 based on the heads and intake manifold. The engine looks to have been rebuilt. It is very clean inside and has compression of 130# on all cylinders. The following was done in the summer of 2013. New Holley 600 cfm carburetor with electric choke. New Mallory Electronic distributor w/ tach drive, New Mallory coil. Conversion to 12 volt system that includes New 12 volt high torque starter. New GM style 12 volt alternator up grade. New electric wiper conversion. I replaced the seat relays and motors with a 12 system from 1956 bird. New Model 29 12 volt battery. New Casco high volume water pump,Thermostat and new 6 blade cooling fan. The following was done in 2011 & 12 New gas tank , sending unit & gas lines. New Brake Shoes,spring kits,wheel cylinders,steel lines and rubber hoses. New hand brake cables. 4 New shocks (rear are air shocks), and complete front end bushing & ball joint kit. 4 new radial tires. Complete new exhaust system manifold to bumper. The interior s mostly stock with a power seat. Telescoping after market steering wheel. The clock and radio do not work. I added after market gauges so I really know what is going on. The gas gauge is intermittent and left signal does not cancel. I replaced the steering wheel with a smaller 15” wheel. Paint and body work was done 2009. Both inner & outer rockers were replaced. All floor braces were replaced. A small section of the floor was replaced. Patches were installed on both rear fender bottoms and dog legs. The body and paint are not perfect but very nice. Most of the chrome trim is new. The bumpers are driver quality. This is a great car for local shows and cruises not a show car. Car has an after market soft top. and available Port hole hard top. The hard top needs to be restored but is all there.

FL man fatally shot after urging driver not to do donuts in a Mustang
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Bradley Holt (pictured), the older half-brother of University of South Florida freshman quarterback Quinton Flowers, was killed in a random act of violence last week.
The 24-year-old Holt was throwing a football around with local kids in Allapattah, a neighborhood in Miami, when a yellow Mustang showed up and started doing donuts in the street. Holt, worried about kids playing in front his apartment complex, walked over to the driver and asked him why he was "driving so crazy with so many kids out here?"
The driver left. Holt's sister said the driver came back "about 15 to 20 minutes later" and fired two shots at Holt. One of them hit Holt in the back of the head, killing him.
Shelby GT350 to be auctioned for charity at Barrett-Jackson in January
Fri, Dec 26 2014If you just have to be the first person in the world to possess the latest Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang, then you need to be bidding during the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ, on January 17. That's because Ford is offering the chance to own the inaugural production example of its latest premiere pony car there. The buyer of the first GT350 gets to choose from any color and all of the available packages for their car. Although, the real highlight is probably being among the first to listen to the 5.2-liter V8 under the hood with its flat-plane crankshaft. Ford promises that the mill makes over 500 horsepower and more than 400 pound-feet of torque. To sweeten the deal even further, all of the proceeds of the sale go to the JDRF, a charity that funds type 1 diabetes research. There's no reserve on the auction for the GT350 but don't expect a bargain. Last year, the first 2015 'Stang raised $300,000 for the JDRF at the Barrett-Jackson sale, and the initial Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 brought in $650,000 for charity. You can read Ford's entire announcement about the event below. FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO SELL NEW SHELBY GT350 MUSTANG AT BARRETT-JACKSON SCOTTSDALE AUCTION TO BENEFIT JDRF First publicly available production unit of the all-new Shelby GT350® Mustang to be auctioned by Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction, with all proceeds benefiting JDRF Winning bidder will be able to choose from available colors and packages for Shelby GT350 Ford-sponsored ride-and-drives during the auction will feature a full lineup of 2015 vehicles Ford Motor Company will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the legendary Shelby GT350 Mustang by auctioning the first production unit of the new-generation car available to the public for charity at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, Arizona. All proceeds will benefit JDRF, the country's leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes research. Live coverage of the auction of the Shelby GT350 will air on Velocity on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2015. The winning bidder of lot No. 3008 – selling at No Reserve – will become owner of the coveted first retail production unit of Ford Shelby GT350, and choose from available Shelby GT350 colors and packages. In January 1964, Carroll Shelby and Ford Motor Company forever altered the automotive industry with the introduction of the GT350. It was offered through Ford dealers from 1965 through 1970.
