Beautiful Professional Restoration on 2040-cars
Seattle, Washington, United States
To everything, turn turn, turn...a time to buy and a time to sell...
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 |

For EV drivers, realities may dampen the electric elation
Mon, Feb 20 2023The Atlantic, a decades-old monthly journal well-regarded for its intelligent essays on international news, American politics and cultural happenings, recently turned its attention to the car world. A piece that ran in The Atlantic in October examined the excesses of the GMC Hummer EV for compromising safety. And now in its latest edition, the magazine ran a compelling story about the challenges of driving an electric vehicle and how those experiences “mythologize the car as the great equalizer.” Titled “The Inconvenient Truth About Electric Vehicles,” the story addresses the economics of EVs, the stresses related to range anxiety, the social effects of owning an electric car — as in, affording one — and the overarching need for places to recharge that car. Basically, author Andrew Moseman says that EV life isn't so rosy: “On the eve of the long-promised electric-vehicle revolution, the myth is due for an update. Americans who take the plunge and buy their first EV will find a lot to love Â… they may also find that electric-vehicle ownership upends notions about driving, cost, and freedom, including how much car your money can buy. "No one spends an extra $5,000 to get a bigger gas tank in a Honda Civic, but with an EV, economic status is suddenly more connected to how much of the world you get to see — and how stressed out or annoyed youÂ’ll feel along the way.” Moseman charts how a basic Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck might start at $55,000, but an extended-range battery, which stretches the distance on a charge from 230 miles to 320, “raises the cost to at least $80,000. The trend holds true with all-electric brands such as Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid, and for many electric offerings from legacy automakers. The bigger battery option can add a four- or five-figure bump to an already accelerating sticker price.” As for the charging issue, the author details his anxiety driving a Telsa in Death Valley, with no charging stations in sight. “For those who never leave the comfort of the city, these concerns sound negligible," he says. "But so many of us want our cars to do everything, go everywhere, ferry us to the boundless life we imagine (or the one weÂ’re promised in car commercials),” he writes. His conclusions may raise some hackles among those of us who value automotive independence — not to mention fun — over practicalities.

This is what a 3D-printed liquid metal Ford Torino looks like
Sat, 12 Oct 2013Artist Ioan Florea has encapsulated a 1971 Ford Torino with 3-D-printed liquid metal transferred onto the car using technology that he developed, and the result is a stunningly shiny, seamless design.
"The surface has the highest coefficient of reflectivity never achieved before," Florea told us in an e-mail, using "nano-materials and nano-pigments that create an internal three-dimensional structure and dictate the polymer how to behave." Sure... We'll leave it to him to make any more 3-D-printed liquid metal-transferred art pieces.
Florea grew up in Romania, and the motivation behind picking the old Ford as his canvas came from his childhood memories of what an American car is - "big and wide and fascinating," he says - and the European name of the car itself, which it shares with an Italian city.
