Up for auction is my 1957 Ford Thunderbird. Description as follows:

Mechanical:

It has a 302 cubic inch Ford small block engine with an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold and a Holley four barrel carb. I was told by the previous owner that the eng was rebuilt and has minimum mileage on it but I have no way to verify this. On startup the oil pressure reads around 50 pounds and well after driving the engine maintains over 40 pounds even at idle. There are no noises or smoke so I can assume the mileage and wear are minimal. The engine seems basically stock and has plenty of power. The transmission is a C4 cruisematic. The fluid looks fine and the transmission engages as it should and shifts prefectly, cold and warm. The differential is standard Ford 8 inch unit open unit with an indicated ratio of 3.10:1. The car is equipped with an original power steering setup which works exceptionally well. The front springs and shocks have been replaced as have the rear shocks. The ball joints are new as are the tie rod ends and bushings.. The car tracks straight as an arrow and handles as well as any car of the era should. The brakes have been replaced along with associated lines and hardware. The car stops without any drama or issues. Even the emergency brake is functioning. The fuel tank was replaced along with associated lines and filler hose. And, lastly, the radiator has been rebuilt and filled with fresh anti freeze. Mechanically I think the car is pretty much spot on and very reliable. The tires are modern radial design and look to be nearly brand new. I have driven it no more than 40-50 miles round trip several times with no issues in both heat of summer and cold of winter.

From a performance perspective the drive train combination should be trouble free and due to a dramatic decrease in weight over the original Y-Block and cast iron Fordomatic transmission it accelerates and handles better than it did in 1957.

Body:

Both side inner and outer rocker panels have been replaced (welded, not glassed in). Both rear quarter panels were rusted from over the fenderwells down and have been replaced with full length door to bumper repair sections all welded in, ground and finished with a light filler coat for blending. Bring your magnet and check it out, all steel. The drivers side rear wheel house has also been replaced and welded into the quarter and trunk floor. There are two small rust through areas in the floor by the drivers left foot and alongside the seat, shown in photographs. Both doors and door posts are in great shape, the drivers door is nearly new. The trunk floor is solid with surface rust with exception of two small rust through areas on each rear corner. The only other rust through areas are the usual areas at the front corners just below the headlights as shown in photos. The trim is all in good shape and all there. Bumpers are in pretty much standard driver condition for the car but undamaged and not bent.

Interior:

Seats covers are cracked, as shown as is the dashpad. Door panels are same.Drivers door has no glass but it comes with the car, as does both electric and manual window mechanisms and switches. Passenger door has glass installed and comes with extra glass as well as mechanical mechanism. I was going to install aftermarket power window setup as it's much cheaper and more reliable than the factory setup. Entire interior costs around 650.00 and that gives you everything short of dash pad, even rear garnish, kick panels and rear garnish.

This car Starts, Runs, Drives and Stops just the way you would want. Although still in primer (light coat, needs good coat of urathane high build and blocked down) its not going to embarrass you nor leave you stranded. Drive it and have fun as you work on it. It comes with both the convertible and the fiberglass hard top, neither one have rear glass. Everything works, even the horn as it had to pass a fairly recent full state inspection in Missouri.

Please contact me with any questions you may have or feel free to come by and have a look. My reserve is low so im pretty sure it will be going home with a new owner.

Normally when we write about Omaze sweepstakes, they involve a car that you'd never go out and buy on your own.

You could buy a Land Cruiser Heritage Edition or a Mustang GT500 or 6 Chevy Sparks and start your own racing series. Personally, if I won that kind of dough, assuming I also won this Bentley Bentayga, my favorite of Omaze's current offerings, I'd probably use some of it to buy something quirky, like a Honda Element converted into a pop-top camper, or a restored/upgraded 60 series Land Cruiser. Think that's a terrible way to spend the cash? That's the beauty of it. It is completely up to you. No one can tell you what to do with it.

Latest Forza Motorsport 5 car pack leaves us scratching our head (in a good way) [w/video]

Wed, Jul 2 2014

As we scrolled down the roster of the latest car pack for Forza Motorsport 5, the Hot Wheels Car Pack, our expression became bemused over the strange mix of vehicles that we now have at our disposal. This is quite unlike any of the other sets of DLC Turn 10 Studios has offered. Sure, there are the typical headliner cars – the Lamborghini Veneno and 2015 Audi S3 Â– that will appeal to the mainstream racing fan or auto enthusiast. But this latest car pack is so jammed full of nuggets of automotive weirdness that it's hard not to get excited. The Hot Wheels pack has no shortage of racers, with a particular focus on historical offerings. A 1939 Auto Union Type D covers the pre-war era of Formula One, while a 1967 Lotus 49 and a 1952 Ferrari 375 represent post-war racing. For a modern twist, a Mazda USF2000 car slots in below the Indy Lights car from the Nurburgring booster pack. From here, things get vintage and weird. There are a pair of delightfully offbeat coupes, in the form of a 1974 Toyota Celica GT and a 1973 Ford XB Falcon GT (here's hoping we get a vintage Holden Monaro in the future). Those two are joined by a 1956 Ford F-100, which your author already plans on converting into a dragster with vinyl flames down the side (because that's what all vintage pickups should be). The new ride we're most excited about, though, is the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500. Yes, that's the van from The A-Team, and we're sure it will prove to be an excellent canvas for the artists of FM5 to cover with airbrushed, fire-breathing unicorns and mystical, gray-haired wizards (or just poorly painted letters that read "Free Candy"). This latest car pack is the final monthly car pack for FM5, although Turn 10 is quick to point out that while the monthly updates are over, there will still be new batches of cars made available to gamers. As for the Hot Wheels pack, it's available now on Xbox Live for $9.99. Scroll down for the press release from Turn 10 Studios, as well as a video of the newest additions to Forza Motorsport 5's vehicle roster. Forza Motorsport 5 Hot Wheels Car Pack Now Available Turn 10 Studios is bringing the Hot WheelsÂ® Car Pack to "Forza Motorsport 5," available for download today. The pack features a collection of vehicles built from the ground up for the new generation that car fans can collect and customize while putting their virtual driving skills to the test.
