‘55 T-Bird For Sale

My 1955 Ford Thunderbird Convertible is in excellent shape! It has no rust anywhere on the body or under the frame. It has the original 292 engine and transmission, (three speed manual with overdrive). There are approximately 78,000 actual miles on the car. I am the third owner and the car has been garaged the whole time I have owned it. I purchased the car in March 1970, the car had approximately 50,000 miles when I bought it. It is a California car, sold originally by a dealer in Los Angeles and the car has never been any farther from L.A. than San Diego, CA.

The engine is in excellent running condition, the transmission shifts perfectly and all the rubber bushings in the front suspension were replaced approximately four years ago, there are four new tires on the car purchased approximately three years ago and has not been driven more than 150 miles since. I recently had the radiator checked by a local radiator shop and it is in excellent condition. The paint is in very good condition as well as the interior. This is not a museum show car but is a very clean car in exceedingly good condition both mechanical and in appearance. The car has a new aftermarket convertible top, and I do not have the hard top. All the chrome parts on the outside are new or have been re-chromed. It has an after market radio in place of the original which I never had. The wheels have the original small hub caps which include the imitation spoke wheel covers. The fender skirts are in good condition and they will come with the car. All gauges are in good working condition. There is no Power Steering, Power Brakes or Power Windows on this car. There is only power seat. The switch under the dash is the power antenna for the radio. The car is raised high in the rear as a matter of my preference. I flipped the shackles over and they can easily be flipped back to the normal height. This car is an original not a replica. The color is not the original color and I had the interior done in the brown and tan colors. The brown is a heavy duty vinyl and the inserts are fabric. The yellow exterior is not the correct color, the original color was red.

I am selling this car because I do not drive the car as often as I like to. I would like to see this car go to a new owner that will give this car tender loving care as I have done over the past 31 years. I am starting the auction at $15,000.00, please do not contact me with any low ball offers they will not be appreciated or considered. Additional photos may be available on request. Buyer must pay a deposit of $500 within 24 hours of the auction ending through paypal. If buyer does not have paypal, buyer must make special arrangements with seller regarding payment method. The remaining balance must be paid at the time of pickup and no later than 7 days after auction. Please let me know if you have any questions as soon as possible so that I can get answers back to you before the auctions ends. You may also call me at (619) 660-0063 and leave me a message. Happy Bidding and Good Luck!

Ford readying three-row Edge for China

Fri, Nov 21 2014

The next-generation Ford Edge will be available with quite a growth spurt for its debut in China next year, with newly announced plans also to build and sell a three-row version exclusively in the People's Republic. However, markets outside of there likely won't see the larger model. Ford marketing boss (and future head of Ford of Europe) Jim Farley announced the three-row version of the crossover at the Los Angeles Auto Show, according to Automotive News. To create the extra room, Ford made the Chinese-built variant about 16 inches longer than its two-row counterpart. Farley didn't specify at which of the Blue Oval's plants in the country this model would be assembled. The Explorer and forthcoming Everest already offer three rows from the Ford lineup in China, but the company thinks the market can easily support all of them. According to Farley to Automotive News, the utility segment is up 485 percent in the country since 2008. Customers in the US can still look forward to the two-row Edge hitting dealers early next year. It'll be the first model in the Blue Oval's lineup here to come standard with EcoBoost power.

Ford CEO Jim Hackett reviewing the future of technology, Lincoln, overseas markets

Mon, Jul 31 2017

By Paul Lienert and Joseph White Ford Chief Executive Jim Hackett is reviewing the automaker's operations in India and other markets, as well as Ford's future product programs including plans to build a self-driving commercial vehicle in 2021. Hackett, who took over as CEO in May, has told investors he is working on a 100-day review of Ford's operations but has so far provided few details of the process, except to indicate that it is looking at the automakers' luxury vehicle strategy, the future of its small vehicles and investments in emerging markets. Ford Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told Reuters in an interview that the review covers a range of issues, including Ford's strategy for India. "We have a lot of work to do (as) we address issues of how to fix India," Shanks said. "Everything is on the table." General Motors in May said it would stop selling cars in India but continue to produce vehicles there for export. Shanks said no decisions have been made and noted that Ford has a larger business in India than GM did. "We are very cognizant that will be the third-largest market in the world," he said. "Some big decisions will be made," Shanks said, but he cautioned Ford may not disclose all those decisions at the end of the 100-day review. Hackett is addressing challenges that have contributed to a nearly 8 percent decline in Ford's share price this year. The review of the Lincoln luxury brand includes whether current plans will meet former CEO Mark Fields' ambitious targets for growth and revenue, people familiar with the process said. Ford has set a target of putting a self-driving shuttle into commercial ride-sharing fleets by 2021. Hackett is reviewing the investment and timing for that project, the sources said. Hackett also assessing whether to reduce and consolidate production of models such as the Fiesta subcompact and two midsized sedans that are built in multiple locations around the world, but are experiencing slowing demand. One proposal would shift production of the next-generation Mondeo midsized sedan from Europe to Mexico, where it would share an assembly line with its sibling, the Ford Fusion, avoiding the cost of retooling two plants. Shortly after he took charge, Hackett approved a proposal to shift production of the next-generation Focus for North America from Mexico to China, saving the company an estimated $500 million by consolidating two factories into one.

FL man fatally shot after urging driver not to do donuts in a Mustang

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

Bradley Holt (pictured), the older half-brother of University of South Florida freshman quarterback Quinton Flowers, was killed in a random act of violence last week.
The 24-year-old Holt was throwing a football around with local kids in Allapattah, a neighborhood in Miami, when a yellow Mustang showed up and started doing donuts in the street. Holt, worried about kids playing in front his apartment complex, walked over to the driver and asked him why he was "driving so crazy with so many kids out here?"
The driver left. Holt's sister said the driver came back "about 15 to 20 minutes later" and fired two shots at Holt. One of them hit Holt in the back of the head, killing him.
