NV CAR DEALER # 40339, Vin # 2Y83Z129935, True Mileage Unknown -- This is a One-of-a-kind Custom Convertible Tonneau Ford T-Bird. The top was skillfully removed a couple of owners ago and a look-a-like padded tonneau was added to cover up the back seats to create a two seat look sports roadster..(the back seat is still under the tonneau!), but you can own this one for a fraction of what a true Sports Roadster would cost.. and again, this bird is custom one of a kind. The current owner has kept this car in the family for many years.. and it was originally and still is a Las Vegas car, so that means very little to no rust... Current owner also has the Hard top that was removed in such a way that it can be put back on, if the need ever arises...
This bird has new drum brakes only about 40 miles ago... it has a strong running Edelbrock 650 4 Barrel carb. But the owner still has the original Holley carb and Air Intake. It has a more modern Electronic Ignition so no need to adjust points. It has a new exhaust and the undercarriage in completely undercoated to prevent rust and keep down road noise and vibrations... Chrome wheels & Baby Moon hubcaps... Swing away steering wheel for easy entry after a big meal... lol... We will add a photo of the original roof soon... PS this car does not have a soft convertible top, so plan accordingly. Like any other vintage cars, there may be other things that we can not predict about the condition of the car, but we can tell that overall it's a very cool looking and great running, driver-quality, rocket age , bullet nose T-bird. Just buy it and prepare for TAKE-OFF !!!!
Please note, I am a boutique classic car dealer in Nevada, so any Nevada residents who purchase this car to register in Nevada will need to pay a 8.1 % Nevada sales tax and a $99 documentation fee... but I have taken this into consideration in the great-value pricing of this car.
Come to Vegas to party and drive home an incredible vehicle that is quite a lot of class, fun and quality for the money ! Best, Steve in Las Vegas cell 213 500 8619

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.
Has the 2015 Ford Mustang gained hundreds of pounds?
Sun, 01 Jun 2014Automakers face competing interests when it comes to developing a new generation of vehicle. On the one hand, companies want to build their cars to be safer and better handling, with more equipment and maybe even larger dimensions over the model it's replacing. On the other hand, they strive to keep weight down to the benefit of both performance and fuel consumption. Usually something has to give, and in the case of the new 2015 Ford Mustang, those efforts may have resulted in a weight penalty of two or three hundred pounds.
This according to Blue Oval modifier Steeda Autosports, which states that "the 2015 Mustang ended up gaining 200-300 pounds in this remake". Despite the Mustang not being on the market yet, it would appear the leading Ford aftermarketer has been given early access to the 2015 model to help jumpstart its tuning efforts (a rather common development among trusted tuners). If Steeda's assertion is accurate, that would make the challenge of getting the new pony car up to speed for both Ford and aftermarket customizers like Steeda that much greater.
We're waiting for official word from Ford on the veracity of Steeda's claim, but if true, it's bound to be a bit of disappointing news for legions of Blue Oval performance enthusiasts. Watch this space for more.
'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you
Fri, 03 May 2013The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
