Exquisite 1955 Ford Thunderbird. This car was rebuilt and reconditioned to exacting standards. I originally purchased this vehicle from Turner Automotive in Victor, NY, approximately 15 years ago to add to my car and motorcycle collection. It has won several awards including Best in Show and Best in Class at shows in the Rochester area. The car is extremely attractive with a creamy white exterior. The interior is an outstanding red with white accents. This car has the original 6 volt system. It runs very well. It was my original intention to keep this car for my daughter when she grows up. Unfortunately, I was seriously injured in an accident last summer and can no longer drive or maintain a 3-speed manual shift car. Therefore, I am forced to part with this beautiful piece of machinery. The car was recently appraised for $54,000-$55,000. I have set the reserve much lower than this. From what I can ascertain the original mileage is just over 20,000 miles. The undercarriage is just as clean as the engine compartment and the rest of the car. I am available anytime to answer questions. Hopefully, the photos speak for themselves about this beautiful example of American car history.

2015 Shelby GT350 Mustang sounds racy as it revs [UPDATE]

Thu, May 21 2015

UPDATE: It seems as though the GT350 exhaust was just too hot for YouTube. The video has been removed, as you can see. We'll keep combing the Interwebs for a new version. If you're somehow still on the fence about the 2015 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang, then this video should provide some healthy encouragement about the new coupe. There's no high-speed action here, but you get to experience the wonderful sound of the GT350's 5.2-liter V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft start up, idle and throw some revs. At a twist of the key, the engine barks to attention, and a wonderfully crisp shriek comes from the exhaust when the driver blips the throttle. The GT350 even has a growly baritone at idle. According to the YouTube description, this car was on hand at the Carroll Shelby Tribute and Car Show in Gardena, CA. Unfortunately, videos online might be the best chance for many people to hear the wail of the latest GT350 for now. Ford is only building a total of 137 of them for the 2015 model year, but the numbers should pick up when the 2016 model year begins in just a few months.

Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.

Ford recalls nearly 1.3 million Fusions, Lincoln MKZs for brake hose leaks

Thu, Mar 16 2023

Ford Motor is recalling nearly 1.3 million Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans built from the 2013 through 2018 model years because their front brake hoses may rupture and leak brake fluid, which could affect stopping ability and increase the risk of a crash. The company notified the National Highway and Transportation Safety Administration and says that in the event a leak occurs, the brake fluid warning light may illuminate on the instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. Dealers will replace the front brake hoses, free of charge, and notification letters to owners are to be mailed in mid-April. A second letter will be mailed once replacement parts are available. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 23S12. The vehicles affected were manufactured between Feb. 3, 2012, and July 19, 2017. In mid-2020, Ford recalled 488,594 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX SUVs for a similar problem regarding leaking brake lines.   Recalls Ford Lincoln Safety
