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.

2015 Ford S-Max adds all-wheel drive, adaptive steering

Fri, 03 Oct 2014

The Blue Oval's 'One Ford' mantra has seen rapid commonization of the automaker's products across markets, but North America still has to look from afar at most of the company's Max-branded people movers, including this new S-Max. That's a bit of a shame - we like the space efficiency and above-average driving dynamics of the C-Max models we do get, but seeing this updated seven-seat small minivan makes us want the One Ford initiative to extend even further.
The new model's changes include an updated powertrain range including a 1.5-liter EcoBoost four with 158 horsepower, and a larger, 237-horsepower, 2.0-liter model, along with a pair of revised lower-emissions 2.0-liter diesels. The big news, however, is the advent of available all-wheel drive, something that hasn't been offered since the S-Max first went on sale back in 2006.
On the technology front, the S-Max is the first European model to receive Ford Adaptive Steering, a variable-ratio technology we recently sampled in a prototype Fusion that is expected to go into production on the next-generation Edge. The S-Max also receives a new aluminum-intensive integral link rear suspension, packaged to continue to fit up to 32 different seating combinations. Safety equipment is always a prime concern in kinschleppers like the S-Max, and to that end, this new model receives pre-collision assist technology and LED headlamps.
