!959 Ford has rare fe motor with solid lifters and adjustable rockers from Ford. Engine is stuck, but I have just taken heads off, rare machined combustion chambers, and I am sure I can get it apart. I do not know if it needs to be bored yet, but I would figure a bore job and new pistons. Also it would accept a 390 crank. I have almost all straight stainless for car except bottom drivers side rear quarter and top of left front fender and left front door. It needs a right door skin floor patched in front where your heals are at. both inner rockers outer rockers. bottom of left and right quarters and some inner quarter repairs floor pans in rear seat are ok.I have seat covers out of an inca gold convertible interior (used) but nice. Remove inca gold material and sew red as interior was red and black. The inca gold seat covers are originally abc interior. White and black is as new. Door panel have original red and black poor cond. and pretty fair ones out of 2 door sedan 59 original. It has a cruiseomatic trans cond. unknown. Scored windshield in two spots extreme left of windshield. It is not in frontal view ,but to one side. I will polish out some. I have repairable front fenders for car as well as front and back rechromeable bumpers. Bumpers on car are very poor.Dash and column have been disassembled some what, but I believe parts are all in the car. Car has factory power steering. I have a pump for the engine, but it is not on the engine.Both washboards are shot as are the front fender clamshells.The glass I believe to be all good except for scored windshield which may or may not be acceptable to you. I can find no holes in the frame. I restored a 59 convertible 20 years ago and this one is much better then the one I did and I am still driving it today. It is a project. The car has no wiper motor on it, I have a vaccum wiper motor for it. Has a town and country radio which I have no idea if it functions, electric clock also. Five steel rims. Call if you have questions. Also will deliver car and and parts for 1.00 a mile. Car is for sale locally.THANKS FOR LOOKING PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS IT IS A PROJECT ,BUT HAS REAL POTENTIAL TO BE A SPECIAL CAR. SERIOUS BIDDERS PLEASE, THANK YOU AND MAY ALL YOUR CARS BE FAST AND BEAUTIFUL.
On Oct-10-13 at 21:36:47 PDT, seller added the following informat. . about the engine if you build it right the right cam crank pistons etc. you can have over 400 hp it does not have 400 hp now not even close nor does . I would gladly visit with anyone that would like to discuss these issues. These are ideas for this project not an actual fact. I can add to this add before someone bids I can not change the wording of the description, but hopefully this makes it clear , I believe it is a rare 58- 332cu in with solid lifters and machined high port heads. I am checking to see if I am correct with someone that should know these things. I could be wrong but I do not think I am at present.

Ford, Renault have surprises in store for Le Mans
Tue, Jun 9 2015All those prototype and GT racers won't be the only attraction catching our eye at the 24 Hours of Le Mans this weekend. Two major automakers have also confirmed that they've got new metal to unveil. And while they're not saying exactly what they'll be, we've got some pretty good ideas. First up is Ford, which has announced a "major Ford Performance news announcement" on Friday. Chairman Bill Ford, CEO Mark Fields, and product development chief Raj Nair will be on hand for the announcement set to take place on Friday at 10:00 AM Eastern. The Blue Oval isn't saying just what it has in store, but the widespread speculation has been that it will present a racing version of the new Ford GT at Le Mans a good half century since the original GT40 raced there. Meanwhile, Renault has announced that it is marking the 60th anniversary of the Alpine marque at Le Mans this Saturday. The French automaker has been working on reviving the dormant marque, and looks poised to finally reveal its new sports car at its iconic home endurance race this weekend. Tipped to be called the Alpine AS1, the new sports car will bring the marque back out of retirement in a more real way than the ELMS-winning LMP2 prototype ever could. Expect it to be based on the mid-engined chassis underpinning the Renault RS 01 spec racer, but built for the road.

Are we about to see a real SUV revival?
Wed, Mar 23 2016Now that the marketplace has been oversaturated with cute-utes, crossovers, and CUV coupes, are we about to see a resurgence of real, honest-to-God SUVs? Ummm... maybe. The stars seem to be aligning in that direction, at least that's the sense I'm getting. We know an all-new Jeep Wrangler is only a few auto shows away; and that Jeep is about to introduce a new Grand Cherokee Trailhawk for 2017, in the same rugged spirit of the successful Cherokee and Renegade Trailhawks. Ford has hinted at a neo-Bronco, after showing the concept above in 2014 to wet the mouths of all those Duck Dynasty-types out there. And, and... wait for it... I recently learned that Subaru sent a questionnaire out to some Forester owners asking if they might be interested in an off-road package if it were offered. The items listed were pretty hardcore, serious stuff, such as: integrated tow/recovery hooks, additional ground clearance, more rugged wheels, skid plates, altimeter, front-view off-road camera, improved approach and departure angles, advanced differentials, Inclinometer, full-size spare tire, upgraded off-road suspension components, more aggressive tires, off-road driving mode (engine, transmission, throttle, and steering settings), more rugged styling, low-range gearing, and a more advanced traction management system. Folks that's not my wish list (well, actually it is), but those are words from Subaru, asking if that's what customers would like to see. Need proof? Go to the SubaruForester.org website. It's in a discussion there. So... no promises or guarantees here, and feel free to call me a rumormonger if you like; but the next few years could prove very interesting for those who actually do go off road. If this pans out, remember, you read it here first. Related Video: Image Credit: Ford Ford Jeep Subaru Crossover SUV Off-Road Vehicles open road
Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.
