This is a very special car.
1955 Ford Thunderbird 292 V8 Automatic transmission 50,800 original miles (and counting...we are still happily driving it) Texas car - NO RUST EVER. Clean clear Florida title. It has every available option for a T Bird in 1955 except for the hard top (which it came with, but is not included in the sale) This vehicle spent several years on display at the Volo Museum (where the owner purchased it from in 1990). It has spent the last 24 years in a climate controlled building built specifically for the previous owners' classic car collection. One repaint in 1990 Body is very straight. Chrome is very nice, other that some of the small light housings (see picture). But very very presentable The only things that were changed on the car that keep it from being a "survivor" are things that make it safe and driveable, such as disc brakes, modern carburator and ignition, and switched from 6 Volt to 12 Volt. Interior is Tuxedo black / white and in good condition with no rips or tears or stains The underside of the car is spotless, and has never ever been rusted nor repaired. It looks pretty much as it did in the 1950's. This is very very rare for for the 1955-1957 T Birds. It is very unusual to find one that has not been rusted or repaired. Nice wide white wall tires. The motor runs nicely and smoothly. Drives excellent. The car has PS, PDB, PW, PS, Convertible top, clock (that works), and back up lights (that all work) The wipers work, but have been disconnected temporarily for a vacuum leak. The transmission selector has a small leak of some transmission fluid. I may have that fixed before the new buyer picks up the car. The horn works sometimes and sometimes not. I have not looked at it yet, but I will. All the lights work. The top looks great and is newer, and the rear window is clear. There are about three rivets in the bottom of the top where it meets the car that could be reinstalled, as they are pulling a bit. See the pictures. I do not know how to turn the radio on. I assume it works, but I don't know how to turn it one. The vehicle passed an NSRA Safety inspection last month. The current 2014 sticker is on the vehicle. This is a very beautiful, unmolested car that runs and drives great and one that you could put your wife in to drive and send her off without worry. The blemishes / issues are very few on this fine automobile. It's an investment that is only going to go up in value. They are only this nice ONCE, and they only have 50,000 original miles on them ONCE. It ALWAYS draws a crowd. Show or cruise ready just the way it is. I can help with shipping and transport. I do have experience with international exporting, and I am willing to help an overseas buyer (at their expense, of course). Bid to WIN !!!!!

J Mays on the 2015 Ford Mustang
Thu, 05 Dec 2013J Mays, head of design at Ford, may be retiring from the company after 16 years, but not before showing the world his swan song: the 2015 Mustang. Ford officially revealed its new coupe and convertible to the public at events around the world on Thursday, including a live unveiling on ABC's Good Morning America, and Mays was in attendance at the automaker's home event in Dearborn, MI, which is where we caught up with him for a few words about his new baby.
"It's a joy" to design the Mustang, Mays told Autoblog, adding that this sixth-generation coupe is his "favorite design so far." Of course, the 2015 model takes cues from all of the generations that came before it, but Mays said it was important to edit down the specific elements from previous models, leaving just enough off to let the customer "participate and fill in the blanks."
"If it doesn't sell itself, you probably aren't a Mustang fan."
Ford mulling EcoSport for US? [w/poll]
Mon, 03 Jun 2013"We certainly have that ability. We're studying it very, very closely." Those are the words of Jim Farley, global head of sales, marketing, service at Ford. The investigation Farley is referring to is the possibility of selling the company's new EcoSport crossover in America.
The diminutive Fiesta-based EcoSport was developed for emerging markets like Brazil and, more recently, China, but it apparently may have a future in the States, where it would form a new entry-level rung below the Escape in Ford's already robust crossover stable. Ford has big plans for its tiny CUV - Farley tells Automotive News that the EcoSport is only available in 10 countries right now, but by 2017, its distribution will have mushroomed to 62 countries. At the time the second-generation model launched at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show as a 2013 model, Ford said the EcoSport would eventually be sold in nearly 100 markets worldwide.
The Brazilian- and Indian-assembled EcoSport is available with a variety of gasoline-powered engines, but the 1.0-liter, three-cylinder EcoBoost giving 118 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque would seem to be the powertrain of choice for America, as it was recently confirmed for the stateside 2014 Fiesta.
Ken Block shows us around his Ford F-150 RaptorTrax
Thu, Jan 22 2015From his Fiesta HFHV to his '65 Mustang Hoonicorn, the inimitable Ken Block has some awesome machinery at his disposal. But arguably the coolest of the bunch is the RaptorTrax. Based on the previous-gen Ford F-150 SVT Raptor - the one with the steel frame and V8 engine - Block's back country snowmobile on steroids packs a set of tracks at each corner, a full roll cage, equipment rack, lighting, jump seats, survival gear... everything he could need for a trip off road. The Gymkhana master showcased the beast a couple of months ago on the slopes of Baldface in Nelson, BC, but now he's followed up with a less eye-popping but more informative clip in which he shows us everything his RaptorTrax has to offer.
