‘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.

Ford car-camo artist works his craft on Australia's new Falcon XR8
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Ford is among the kings of concealment when it comes to test cars. On one recent Mustang SVT mule, the automaker went to the extreme of putting baffles over the exhausts to hide how many there were. Sounds like a lot of work, right? In a new video, the Blue Oval has decided to take fans behind the scenes to show them what it takes to camouflage a prototype. In this case the subject was the recently unveiled 2014 Falcon XR8 for Australia.
Ford's prototype build coordinator Down Under has the very appropriate name of Neil Trickey, and it's his job to obfuscate the important bits of test cars to keep them out of spy shooters' camera lenses. Trickey calls his job a "dark art," and he shows off some of the tricks of his trade in the video. It turns out that the fabric we often see on mules is a type of lycra, but his team isn't above getting out a can of spray paint to conceal parts, too.
Scroll down to watch a video about a man who you probably wish could be a little worse at his job.
Next Shelby Mustang to wear GT350 nameplate
Fri, 21 Jun 2013Earlier this month, rumors started to swirl 'round the web about the next-generation Ford SVT Mustang - the halo version of the all-new 2015 'Stang seen testing in the gallery above. Originally, we heard that the Shelby GT500 moniker would be dumped in favor of "a name you're familiar with," which some sources guessed could mean a return of the Cobra nameplate.
That might not be correct. According to Road & Track, citing a report from Mustangs Daily, the new range-topping Mustang will bring back the Shelby GT350 name - currently used on an aftermarket version of Ford's Pony produced by Shelby American (take a look at our recent Quick Spin of that car). Expect the new GT350 to be quite a bit different than the current GT500 - it will be all motor, using a V8 that's derived from the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Coyote engine (though it will no doubt have a higher displacement). The GT350 will be a lot more powerful than the next Mustang GT, which is expected to offer something like 450 horsepower, but won't be quite as absurd as the 662-horsepower GT500 we currently enjoy.
The Shelby GT350 will reportedly bow with the rest of the new Mustang range at the 2014 New York Auto Show, which coincides exactly with the original Mustang's debut at the New York World's Fair in 1964. If that seems far out, don't worry, we'll be seeing the rest of the 2015 Mustang range before then, but Road & Track reports that the 2014 Detroit Auto Show stage will be reserved for the reveal of the next Ford F-150 pickup.
Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales
Tue, 22 Apr 2014The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.
