 1953 - Ford Customline 4 Door Sedan
 
Flat Head V/8 - 3 Speed - Black w/White Top

8-cylinders 239cid/110hp 2bbl

In the 1950's Black and White two-tone was a color combination that was tough to go wrong with and you will agree in this case with this beautifully original unrestored 1953 Ford Customline 4-door Sedan runs and drives like an old car of that time, stored the last 6 or so years, driven on nice days and special occasions. Original interior with seat covers, retains most of its original paint, original chrome, new master and wheel cylinders, rebuilt carburetor, fuel pump, new fuel tank, new belts and hoses...etc. One decent restorable '53 Ford Customline need a good home.

From any angle this car has great lines and timeless looks. This black w/white top is original and could stand a complete paint job whether the same color or a custom paint job. You would turn heads at any car event or parade. The bodywork is straight its finish is original with some painting and body work prior to my ownership. The chrome and stainless steel trim are all original so with the age it looks good, but if I were going to restore it I would replace it. I have way too many projects to keep this one. It is one of many cars I own, so looking to pass the love for these well built cars to another enthusiast. Please LOOK and EXAMINE the pictures. I would entertain any questions or provide any further pictures if needed.

When you take in all the individual details from the front bumper to the rear bumper it has been a well kept car for its age. Always seems to turn heads when driven. Inside you will find original equipment with NO modifications with the exception of a fan on the floorboard which was there when I purchased it from the original owner a few years ago.

Accessories include a heater and defroster, analog clock, stock steering, stock brakes, and original AM radio that does not work. Power comes from a Flathead 239cid V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor. To complete the look the spare tire and jack are still present just as they should be.

Also included is the original owner's manual. This car is a great daily driver and head turner, it is rare and you are not likely to see another one when you are out at a local event or parade. I would be glad to answer any questions or provide more pictures.

One last thought: Would Consider Trading for a 1951 or 1952 Chevrolet

This is a REAL crown jewel...Do NOT let it get away and slip through your fingers!! Happy Bidding!!

Your official Ford Transit specs are here, $29,565* to start

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

Ford has released the full list of pricing and specs on its new Transit, the replacement for the long-lived E-Series cargo van. Prices are set to start at $29,565 and can increase rapidly from there, depending on length, engine and wheelbase, among other options.
Let's talk first about those new engines. The base is the familiar 3.7-liter, naturally aspirated V6. It boasts 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and can return up to 14 miles per gallon in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. This engine can also be adapted to run on LPG or compressed natural gas. Of course, there are better alternatives, for a price, the first of which is Ford's well-received, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. It packs 310 hp and a best-in-class 400 lb-ft of torque (available at just 2,500 rpm) while matching the naturally aspirated engine in both city and highway fuel economy.
Then, there's the diesel. With a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel mill at its disposal, the Transit generates 350 lb-ft between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, along with 185 hp. This engine hasn't been rated by the EPA, although we'd be really, really surprised if it didn't handily best either of the gas-powered engines in fuel efficiency. A six-speed automatic is standard, regardless of engine.

Ford Focus ST diesel estate in track showdown with Focus ST hatch

Sun, Jan 18 2015

Diesel hot hatches are still a concept that's gaining ground. Obviously, there are none for sale in the US, but European buyers have the choice of at least the Volkswagen Golf GTD and Ford Focus ST Diesel. What better way to find out how the new, high-performance oil-burner really stacks up than for Ford to stage a race against the gasoline-fueled Focus ST? On paper, the ST Diesel is at a big performance detriment here. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder makes 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque compared to 247 hp and 266 lb-ft for the gas version in this race. However while not a factor for this race, the oil-burner does offer better fuel economy and produces less CO2, which makes a difference for European buyers. Ford skews the race results by giving the ST Diesel Estate a two-second head start for this one-lap battle around the Castle Combe Circuit. Also, this is a video from the Blue Oval, which is going to further minimize the appearance of weakness for its vehicles. Still, both STs really get to show off their strengths, and it's worth seeing how the sibling rivalry shakes out at the finish line.

Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.
