1956 Ford Thunderbird Convertible'' Car is a started "project"
Frame off which appears powder coated and bushings , brakes ect appear new.. Body was going to be completed by rotisserie and is a solid candidate for such. Body was professionally done and appears straight and true , I would say by magnet minimum glass (no spots were detected)but it is a one piece body so there must be some ,paint removed from inner wells trunk is solid. So are the doors hood and trunk lid. There is no drive train in the vehicle owner was going to use a 302 c6 set up but stopped restoration before any modifications were made. He felt the car was to solid and at a point where it should be a 312 car again so he waited and lost interest.. A power seat car with motor,frame and seat. Glass, and dash in good condition as is the floors and trunk, no gas tank.. Car will be sold with notarized bill of sale..additional parts are included mostly odds and ends trim ect. So most of the hard work has been accomplished.and major parts are here.. Most of the items that are chrome are found easily and reasonably priced .. There is a front bumper in need of a rechrome.. Great resto mod or Restoration. There is NO 312 DRIVETRAIN- |

Ford partnering with MIT, Stanford on autonomous vehicle research
Fri, 24 Jan 2014Ask any car engineer what's the biggest variable in achieving fuel economy targets, and he'll tell you "the driver." If one human can't understand human driving behavior enough to be certain about an innocuous number like miles per gallon, how is an autonomous car supposed to figure out what hundreds of other drivers are going to do in the course of a day? Ford has enlisted the help of Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to find out.
Starting with the automated Fusion Hybrid introduced in December, MIT will be developing algorithms that driverless cars can use to "predict actions of other vehicles and pedestrians" and objects within the three-dimensional map provided by its four LIDAR sensors.
The Stanford team will research how to extend the 'vision' of that LIDAR array beyond obstructions while driving, analogous to the way a driver uses the entire width of a lane to see what's ahead of a larger vehicle in front. Ford says it wants to "provide the vehicle with common sense" as part of its Blueprint for Mobility, preparing for an autonomous world from 2025 and beyond.
Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
