Bought the car, then claimed he could not buy because his Daddy wouldn’t let him. Really? Do not let this bidder waste your time and money!!)
When the Thunderbird was introduced it created a new market segment to become known as the “personal luxury car.” The sporty two-seat convertible took the marketplace by storm by combining the flair of a sports car with the comfort and elegance of a boulevard cruiser. The car was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show in January of 1954 to compete with Chevrolet’s Corvette and has been a collector car from it’s inception. Many auto enthusiasts consider the 1955-1957 Thunderbirds to be some of the best looking cars ever produced. The Thunderbird achieved instant success outselling the Corvette 23-1 in it’s first year. In 1957 design and performance improvements were made on the already very successful model that created the iconic 1957 T-Bird. The ’57 T-Bird enjoyed a newly restyled grille, stretched rear sheet metal introducing the wings of the new Bird, a fresh bumper design, larger taillights and improved seating. Performance improvements included larger openings for improved cooling, revised springs rate, larger brakes, stiffer cross-members, a 12-volt battery system and new 14” wheels. These improvements made the car more desirable than the competition and created a more stable and capable driving experience. One big improvement for the 1957 model was the introduction of a new engine selection. A “E” model with dual four-barrel carburetors boasting 270 horsepower. This matching numbers 1957 Ford Thunderbird, finished in Raven Black, came from the factory equipped with the rare and coveted “E”-code options. It has the 312 cubic inch overhead valve V8 Engine with Dual Holley Four-Barrel Carburetors producing 270 horsepower. There is a three-speed manual gearbox with optional overdrive (available on only 4% of the T-Birds produced) and four-wheel drum brakes. These rare birds created more horsepower than contemporary Chevrolet’s fuel injected 283. Only 977 were produced to qualify to run in NASCAR Speed Weeks events at Daytona Beach where it won its class by beating a Corvette. This E-Code is in beautiful condition and offers no excuses. Truly an exceptional investment grade vehicle with great upside potential. According to recent sales, August 2014 Hagerty price guide values these rare “E”-codes at $86,400 for a number two car with number 1 cars estimated at $133,000. This T-Bird represents the highest quality standards in restoration; a two year no expense sparred restoration in 2010 with around 250 miles since restoration. This T-Bird is of the same quality of an Amos Minter type of restoration. The body is near perfection and appears to be all original sheet metal, never hit body. The panels are laser straight with near perfect shut lines (see close-up pictures). The paint is smooth and mirror like in finish. All Chrome and trim has been renewed to show quality. The Interior is completely new, with seats have been completely rebuilt, all new dash and door panels, carpet, etc. The seats have a wonderful firm feel to them. The texture of the materials is the highest quality available. We don’t know where the materials were purchased but are not the cheap china made junk, this is HIGHEST QUALITY materials throughout the interior. This rare, numbers matching E-bird has had a fresh engine rebuild in 2011 by the renowned engine builder Ronnie Groff in San Antonio, Texas. The engine and undercarriage are completely detailed to a very high standard. The frame was powder coated as well many of the suspension parts. Everything under the hood and undercarriage is new and in show condition. Driving this little gem is pure pleasure. The rare 3-Speed Overdrive Manual Transmission is smooth as silk and adds to the fun factor of driving this powerful 270 horse E-Code Engine. It tracks straight down the road and brakes with authority thanks to the “Swift Sure” Power Brakes. The engine runs flawlessly and has a very strong pull. The car is equipped with a brand new set of Firestone Champion Wide Whitewall Tires in the correct style from the factory. The Yellow/Black License Plates are correct style plates for 1957 CA cars and are for display purposes only and do not come with the car. This Raven Black Beauty is the perfect compliment to any high-dollar collection. This would be a wonderful car to show or drive cross-country. This E-Code 3-Speed Overdrive car is rare in the Thunderbird world. If you are local to Southern California you should take the time to come take a look. This is simply as good as it gets. The car is available at Blue Chip Motorcars in San Juan Capistrano. Questions can be directed to Frank at 949-310-6262. Terms & Conditions:

Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron
Tue, Jan 3 2017Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.

Ford Focus RS will go global, come to US
Thu, Dec 11 2014"We are transforming our approach to performance." – Mark Fields Ford will launch a new high-performance Focus RS around the world, including the United States, company CEO Mark Fields confirmed at a press conference Thursday morning. It is expected to debut in January at the Detroit Auto Show, though launch timing is unclear. "We are transforming our approach to performance," Fields said. The RS will serve as a hotter variant of the Focus, which will be redesigned next year as part of Ford's 16 product launches. Our spy photographers have already captured images of a purported RS, which you can see above. Ford last sold a Focus RS in Europe in 2009, and it continues the long lineage of RS-badged performance cars, which dates to 1968. "The RS has a significant heritage and pedigree," Ford product chief Raj Nair said. The Focus RS will slot above the Focus ST, which will continue, a spokesman said. The ST runs a turbocharged, 252-horsepower four-cylinder that's paired with a six-speed manual transmission. It also has chassis and design upgrades to reinforce its athletic dynamics. The most recent intel suggests that the new RS could use Ford's 2.3-liter turbo-four, tuned to anywhere from 325 to 350 hp. All-wheel drive is also rumored to be part of the new RS formula. Meanwhile, Ford announced it is putting all of its sporty units under the umbrella name of "Ford Performance," which will be led by Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak. Ford Performance will include Ford Racing, SVT (which is responsible for the Raptor and Shelby GT350) and RS. "We're changing Ford's performance business," Nair said. Ford is placing a renewed emphasis on performance, as the customers tend to be younger, wealthier and better educated, Nair said. In other news, Nair said the company is working on a Raptor version of the new, aluminum-bodied F-150, which launched this year. "I want to get it out as quickly as we can," he said.
2015 Ford F-150 [w/videos]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014To learn more about the all-new 2015 F-150 and get an early read on its potential hero-or-zero status, we flew to the heart of full-size pickup truck country, San Antonio, TX, to spend a day driving, towing and playing in the mud with an assortment of Ford's innovative new trucks.
First, a caveat - while we feel we have a reasonably good handle on the new F-150 after attending this first-drive event, we are far from ready to pass definitive judgment on the success of this radically new rig. Our time in the various models was lamentably limited and we felt rushed. With so much at stake and with so much to talk about and experience, we had zero alone time with the vehicle - there were Ford folks shadowing us at every moment.
And we still don't know everything there is to know about the trucks, as Ford is withholding some of its most crucial numbers, including curb weight data and anticipated EPA fuel economy figures. We don't even have a firm on-sale date. All of this information is typically disclosed - or at least officially estimated - at the time of a new vehicle's first drive. This limits the scope of the judgments we feel comfortable making based on our first encounter.
