We have owned this original 56 t-bird for about 15 years. The car has not been restored but has had work done as it was needed. It is the original Z code green color with matching interior. The car is # matching and has the original 312 V-8 engine and Fordamatic transmission. The engine has had a resent tune-up, hoses , belt , etc. Since we purchased the car we added a factory replacement power brake booster. The transmission was completely rebuilt by AAMCO less than 1000 miles ago.It has new Coker wide white radial tires. The interior door panels , seat upholstery and carpet were replaced with exact reproductions several years ago and have no rips or wear. The original dash board vinyl is nice and all gauges and tack work well except the clock and radio. The car has both the port hole hardtop and cloth top which folds down behind the seat when not in use. It has original truck fabric and original jack. It also come with the original bill of lading when the car was delivered to the Frank Taylor Ford dealership on August 17th 1956 in Los Angeles California ( see picture ) . also included is most receipts over the last 30 years , previous owner info and original shop manual , sales brochure and owners manual. This is not a show car and would need new paint, chrome work done etc. to be one. The paint has been touched up in places and is coming off in other places, the bumper and tail light chrome is thin. This is a driver car and is priced like one. If you want a fun little car that is solid with No through rust , real original and always gets attention this is a nice little car. Call or e-mail with any questions, I can store the car for a little while if that helps but must be paid for in full in 7 days from end of auction. I can help with delivery on the west coast for a fee and thanks for looking...Mike 541-788-5756

Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
Watch "The One With The Ford Mustang 5.0 Police Car" (yes, we caught the Friends reference too) below to see some shenanigans in one of Michigan's finest patrol cars.
Mustang GT350 reveal coming Nov 17?
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Ford looks to have something really big planned for the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Blue Oval has released the first of five teaser videos on the brand's performance heritage, and aside from some great images of racers over the years, the video includes a series of teaser images, the last of which points to November 17, 2014.
That's the day before press days open in LA, and considering the propensity of global automakers to plan lavish debuts the night before a major international auto show, it's a virtual certainty that Ford will be showing off some sort of special vehicle.
That'd be news in and of itself, but based on the images shown in Ford's teaser video - which include an Alcantara steering wheel, a "Powered by Ford" valve cover, aluminum pedals, sticky tires, a big, round exhaust tip, a honeycomb grille and a serious set of wheels - it seems very likely that Ford will be showing something performance oriented.
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible makes inappropriate appearance in Detroit [w/video]
Tue, 14 Jan 2014With the polar vortex fresh in the minds of Autoblog's Detroit-based staff, we're finding it funny that any manufacturer would choose January in the Motor City to show off a new and highly anticipated convertible to the general media and public for the first time. But Ford has done just that, giving us our first real peek at the new Mustang Convertible in the flesh.
The new Mustang Convertible is more or less unchanged from the standard coupe, with some subtle styling tweaks to accommodate the retractable soft top. Engine and transmission choices are identical to the hardtop, although we should expect slightly lower performance due to the hardware for the roof. Like the coupe, neither prices nor performance metrics have been published yet for the convertible.
