VIN: D7FH266737 Flame Red Exterior with White Interior; 312 Cubic Inch/245 HP Engine; Hard Top and Soft Top; Automatic; Amos Minter Thunderbird; “Pink Slip” California Car; Numbers Matching; Original Colors; Power Steering; Power Brakes. This 1957 Ford Thunderbird was built in Dearborn, Michigan on April 12, 1957. Amos Minter of Dallas, Texas purchased the car out of California. It was a California “Pink Slip” car with perfect metal. It had been well maintained over the years and was not in need of restoration. Minter inspected and updated the car with an alternator, stereo, and power steering. He also added wire wheels and the related helper springs. The Thunderbird was then sold to a client of Fox Motorsports in Michigan in late 2002. That owner used it occasionally in nice weather and has always stored it properly when not in use. It has not been driven in winter months or used in bad weather. The car went back to Minter after purchase for an updated radiator fan and shroud, to help engine cooling during summer parades. The brakes and electrical system were recently gone through by Fox Motorsports and were updated and improved (see below). The car drives great and is well sorted. The exterior of the Thunderbird is very nice. The paint is bright and shiny, with no swirling or abrasions. It does show its age with a few imperfections and a couple of chips and touch-ups. The chrome is excellent. The interior is also excellent, with very little wear. The hard-top is in very good condition too. The included white soft top is in serviceable condition and would need recovering to be perfect. The underside of the car is very good and appears to be original. There is undercoating covering the underside (perhaps dealer installed when new) but no repairs, damage, or rust are evident.

Ford Focus ST, Fiesta ST buyers to get free Octane Academy driving school
Thu, 01 Aug 2013The Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST have created plenty of excitement in the sport compact segment, and Ford is looking to make sure that owners are driving and enjoying their cars to the best of their abilities. As an added bonus for buying one of these sporty hatchbacks, Ford will provide a complimentary ST Octane Academy session to be held at the Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.
Attendees will be responsible for travel and lodging, but Ford will provide the driving school free of charge. Included in this two-day trip, ST owners will get class instruction and driving instruction in prepped Focus ST and Fiesta ST models on the track and autocross course. Some karting action will also be involved as will a tour of Ken Block's Hoonigan Racing headquarters located nearby. If this doesn't sound like enough fun, there is also an optional day of activities that includes some more track time in a Mustang GT and off-road instruction in an F-150 SVT Raptor.
Ford told us that those who have already purchased a Focus ST or Fiesta ST will still be able to attend the performance driving school, but the press release, which is posted below, makes it sound like it applies to original owners only. Ford has yet to announce its schedule for the ST Octane Academy or prices for additional activities or guests.

2015 Ford Mustang GT [w/video]
Fri, 19 Sep 2014At 50 years old, the object of fantasies, a tuner's dream, a movie star and more than nine million strong, it couldn't be truer to say that the Ford Mustang needs no introduction. This newest Mustang, however - making the biggest changes we've seen to the pony car since perhaps 1964.5 - is something Ford has been introducing all year.
We went on a Deep Dive, covered the way it looks when it was revealed, detailed the engine specs, got a ride in the EcoBoost and listened to the V8, got rolling footage and watched it do a standard-feature burnout.
The only thing left to do? Drive it. Having now done so for a few hours around Los Angeles, what we can tell you is to forget everything you know about the Mustang. This new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment.
