You are bidding on one of the early "sport cars" made by Ford. This is a sharp car but is not by any means a number one show car. We have had it for several years but drove it very little. It has a rebuilt motor that runs good. We are unable to provide the mileage but since the rebuild it has not been driven very many miles.  It also has a new exhaust system, rechromed bumpers, new grill, and  new rear fenders. The inside has been completely redone with a new head liner, new seat covers, curtains, and floor mats. The hardtop with Victoria windows has been completely redone and the car has had a paint job. It has 5 new white side wall bias tires and a new master cylinder. . Prior to our ownership there had been four attempts to restore (preserve) this historic model. So as I mentioned it is not in perfect condition which if you look close you will find the flaws. Fixable problems are: the radio does not work (which is not unusual in the older models), the windshield wipers do not work, there is no blower motor or duct, some of the knobs on the dash are missing. It does not come with a soft top only a removable hard top. I have tried to include everything I am aware of but keep in mind an issue could exist I do not know of.

I encourage anyone seriously interested to look at it prior to the end of the auction. This vehicle is being sold as is with no warranty either expressed, written or implied and the seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs.. No allowance or set aside will be made due to any incorrectiness, imperfection or defect. The description is for identification purposes only and is not to be construed as a warranty of any type. The buyer has the responsibility to inspect the vehicle and make the decision as to condtion and value.

Watch these videos of an NHRA racer's bodywork blowing off into a crowd

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Just a few months ago, fan safety at racetracks was a hot topic following the last-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series crash at Daytona that sent large pieces of racecars into the grandstands injuring 33 fans. Now, a freak incident at a National Hot Rod Association event resulted in a drag racer's bodywork flying into the crowd at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte over the weekend. The carbon-fiber body of Robert Hight's Ford Mustang funny car blew off toward the end of a run when his engine exploded, but fortunately, the two fans evaluated after the incident were later released without serious injury.
As you can see in the image above, the body flew high into the air before landing on a walkway in front of the grandstands, a bit of happenstance that likely gave most fans enough time and space to move out of the way. Scroll down to watch a couple of videos showing what happened, including one from a fan's perspective that also reveals what appears to be part of the body's metal bracing landing dangerously close to the crowd.

Ford blimp crashes inside Portland Trail Blazers arena

Fri, Dec 5 2014

Portland basketball fans got a free, very safe recreation of the Hindenburg disaster when a Ford airship crashed into the stands during a game between the Trail Blazers and Indiana Pacers. Reportedly no one was hurt, but arena staff trying to push the inflatable vehicle through a hole it was too big for, made for some fantastic video and photos. This content is hosted by a third party.

The first gives an idea of just how hard it was to fit the blimp through the exit of the arena, and the second is a time-lapse look from someone right next to the action. All these clips need is Yakety Sax as background music for some true Internet gold. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
