Although by far the nicest classic I have ever owned, I am reluctantly offering my fully and beautifully restored '59 T-Bird convertible. Commissioned several years ago by a gentleman from Moses Lake, this was a true nut and bolt professional restoration where body was fully stripped before paint. Further, she is a totally numbers matching stock original unaltered vehicle.

This classy 55 year old dame sports:
-new black paint on laser straight body
-rechromed bumpers and trim
-new correct two tone vinyl interior
-new Hartz top
-rebuilt 352 engine and Cruisamatic transmission
-rebuilt front end, brakes & exhaust
-new Coker wide white tires

A well optioned beauty with the following accoutrements:
-power steering and brakes (of course)
-power windows
-power seats
-period correct air conditioning (dealer installed and not presently charged)
-correct T-Bird wire wheels

all you diehard T-Bird fans know that squarebird convertibles are the rarest of all the Bird breeds and triple black the rarest of all the color combinations, one which is particularly stunning for this exciting timeless American classic auto. Being a T-Bird, this is an investment vehicle which can still be enjoyed in the remaining summer months and through the fall. Both a wonderful driver and a show car which receives many admiring "thumbs up" from passing motorists when you cruise in her.

I can also deliver this T-Bird to you in western Washington on a two axle carhauler for cost of gas only although this car can certainly make it more than a hundred miles on its own power if you chose to drive it home.  Will also assist with loading on a commercial hauler.

If you have questions about this car please call 360-755-3973

Watch how a Ford Raptor rolls down the assembly line in Dearborn

Sun, 30 Mar 2014

Bloomberg TV reporter Matt Miller is the proud new owner of a pretty killer truck. How do we know? The reporter headed to Dearborn, MI to Ford's assembly plant, with a film crew in tow, to see exactly how his new F-150 SVT Raptor and its mother-loving 6.2-liter V8 engine, was screwed together.
The resulting video does an excellent job of summing up how an assemblage of parts and pieces is turned into a triple-black Raptor, thanks to the work of some 1,000 employees and about 20 hours of real time. Click through below to see how the truck is born, with a surprise cameo playing the part of delivery driver at the end.

The 1965 Ford Mustang could have looked a lot different

Fri, May 8 2020

The 1965 Ford Mustang is unquestionably an automotive design icon, and nearly every generation of Mustang has some connection to that original car. Because it's such a universally-known vehicle, we were amazed to see all the different designs that were being considered. Head of Ford's archives Ted Ryan recently shared photos of design proposals for the original Mustang on Twitter that he and Jamie Myler found, and we reached out to them to find out more. As Ryan initially noted, the photos were taken on August 19, 1962, and they are proposals for the Ford Mustang. Apparently Ford had committed to doing a Falcon-based youth-oriented car at this point, and it did have plans to launch the car in 1964 for the 1965 model year. But after having little success with early design proposals, the company asked all of its design studios — the Advanced Studio, Lincoln-Mercury Studio and Ford Studio — to submit proposals. With only about two years before the planned launch, Ford was understandably short on time, and it's believed that the studios only had a month to create and present these designs. Lincoln-Mercury design proposal View 8 Photos The majority of the designs, a total of five, came from the Advanced Studio, and part of this was because they already had a couple of concept designs in reserve it could present. Two other models representing three design possibilities came from Lincoln-Mercury, and just one model with two options came from Ford. The Advanced Studio proposals are shown in the gallery at the very top of this article, and the Lincoln-Mercury and Ford proposals are in the gallery directly above this paragraph. The Advanced Studio's most radical design is the one that was clearly related to the Mustang I concept that would be shown later that year with huge wraparound rear glass, turbine-inspired bumpers and enormous side scoops. The other proposals from the studio were more conservative, featuring simple lines, grilles reminiscent of the Falcon, and one even borrowing the jet-thruster-style taillights made famous on the Thunderbird. Lincoln-Mercury had some impressively bold designs, particularly its fastback that had buttresses to extend the shape all the way to the tail. This car had two different side trim possibilities. The other Lincoln-Mercury design was toned down a bit, but had two interesting possibilities for side detailing, as well as some crisp, low-profile tail fins.

Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]

Wed, 04 Jun 2014



The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.
