This is one Bad Ass 1960 Pro Street Ford Thuderbird. Nothing like it!
California/Florida Car with frame off restoration in 1993. I purchased this very solid Pro Street Thunderbird in 2011 and it's been in my garage ever since (sadly never found the time to work on it!) Sorry to see it go but too many projects and life is too short! 95% finished by prior owner (see below) or just service and drive as is.... Registered in FL as "TBIRD 60". THE GOODS: Original California car. San Fernando Valley. No rust to speak of (see below). Check out the pics. Nice n dry. 428 Cobra Jet engine - mild cam and less than 100 miles on it. Runs strong. Built by Chris Lafrene of Courtesy Chevrolet. C6 transmission with shift kit and B&M console shifter for solid shifts by Craig Calkins master transmission mechanic. Shifts nice and quick like it should. High performance torque converter. Pro Street Chassis was done by the former crew chief of the Budweiser land speed record rocket car, Kirk Swanson of Camarillo. 9'' ford Detroit locker posi with housing all welding up to handle 1000 horsepower Super strong 4 bar rear suspension with Alden coil over shocks Big ol' Tubs to handle the 18'' wide Pro Street tires Big Fat Mickey Thompson 18'' wide Pro Street Tires that fill the well like an artists rendition (see below). Rebuilt Power brake unit with rebuilt 70's ford Torino dual master cylinder and front disk brakes. All built to handle existing engine with a 871 blower. For safety- complete roll bar constructed with seamless, thick wall tubing and welded through body to frame extending into trunck area to surround the custom fuel cell. Front and rear bumpers acid striped and painted to match body. Black front, charcoal back. Mean look. I'm talkin' MEAN! I've never seen a T-bird done this way. Late model Acura Bucket seats for the look. Replaced dash pad. Cover console and all side trim with black German vinyl. Looks like factory black molding to keep with the theme. Gauges, lights and clock working and all exterior lights working Great chrome on the dash panel Great chrome on the glove box door with new glove box inside. Custom installed tilt and Telescoping column out of an Impala New windshield New mild tint side glass New felting and windwing trim Power windows New headliner and visors with chrome brackets. New Carpet New LeCarra four spoke leather wrapped steering wheel NEEDS (to be up front): Good service and checkout (been sitting several years but regularly started and starts first time every time). A few small bubble spots and a small quarter sized rust area near rear wheel arch that could do with touch-up (if desired) but body very straight and sound Rear tires will need replacing a some point soon, fronts are good. Seats have all been mounted but I'd reupholster them with the side panels. This is an original A/C car but no compressor. If you plan on running the A/C while you're haulin' ass, you'll need to install a compressor and have it hooked up. Never made the grill. Was going to go with stainless tubing. Or find an original. Molding needs to be made that meets the dash to windshield. Door weatherstripping. Just never got to it. Some new molding included. Molding under back window is missing. Easy to find. Will ship anywhere but you arrange the shipping (cost me $700 to ship from CA to FL in 2011) As Is with no warranty. Can send more pics and details if needed. |

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

2015 Ford Mustang revs it up at Cars & Coffee
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Just because the new 2015 Ford Mustang has officially been released, you didn't think that would be the end of the matter - did you? Of course not. There'll still be plenty of rumors, reports and video footage to bring you. Like this, the first non-official footage of the new pony car in the wild.
Shot by YouTube user SotA1080 and dug up by our friends at CarBuzz, this clip shows the new Mustang posing for photos (alongside other Mustangs) and starting up its engine at the most recent gathering of Cars & Coffee in Irvine, CA. And this being the GT model, it's not packing the V6 or the turbo four, but the red-blooded 5.0-liter V8 that tells us and enthusiasts worldwide that the new Mustang has not lost its way. Scroll on down to watch the footage for yourself.
Hear the 2015 Mustang GT V8 roar for the first time
Wed, 26 Jun 2013Our combined knowledge of the 2015 Ford Mustang continues to deepen, as spy shooters have begun to compile video and audio of the upcoming sixth-generation car.
Case in point is this latest series of video clips, which not only gives us a great vantage point of the Mustang in motion, but also allows us to hear the Ford V8 engine and exhaust. After perusing the aural delights of this short video, which, admittedly, doesn't catch the Mustang GT at full song, we can at least say that the throaty exhaust isn't disappointing.
Chances are good that the 2015 Mustang GT will debut with some version of the current (and excellent) Coyote 5.0-liter V8 engine, though we're unclear as to whether or not the motor has been massaged for its next-gen debut, or what may have been done to exhaust plumbing. At this point, we're just happy to hear the pony run. Scroll below to hear for yourself.
