1953 - Ford Customline 4 Door Sedan

Flat Head V/8 - 3 Speed - Black w/White Top

8-cylinders 239cid/110hp 2bbl

In the 1950's Black and White two-tone was a color combination that was tough to go wrong with and you will agree in this case with this beautifully original unrestored 1953 Ford Customline 4-door Sedan runs and drives like an old car of that time, stored the last 6 or so years, driven on nice days and special occasions. Original interior with seat covers, retains most of its original paint, original chrome, new master and wheel cylinders, rebuilt carburetor, fuel pump, new fuel tank, new belts and hoses...etc. One decent restorable '53 Ford Customline need a good home.

From any angle this car has great lines and timeless looks. This black w/white top is original and could stand a complete paint job whether the same color or a custom paint job. You would turn heads at any car event or parade. The bodywork is straight its finish is original with some painting and body work prior to my ownership. The chrome and stainless steel trim are all original so with the age it looks good, but if I were going to restore it I would replace it. I have way too many projects to keep this one. It is one of many cars I own, so looking to pass the love for these well built cars to another enthusiast. Please LOOK and EXAMINE the pictures. I would entertain any questions or provide any further pictures if needed.

When you take in all the individual details from the front bumper to the rear bumper it has been a well kept car for its age. Always seems to turn heads when driven. Inside you will find original equipment with NO modifications with the exception of a fan on the floorboard which was there when I purchased it from the original owner a few years ago.

Accessories include a heater and defroster, analog clock, stock steering, stock brakes, and original AM radio that does not work. Power comes from a Flathead 239cid V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor. To complete the look the spare tire and jack are still present just as they should be.

Also included is the original owner's manual. This car is a great daily driver and head turner, it is rare and you are not likely to see another one when you are out at a local event or parade. I would be glad to answer any questions or provide more pictures.

One last thought: Would Consider Trading for a 1951 or 1952 Chevrolet

This is a REAL crown jewel...Do NOT let it get away and slip through your fingers!! Happy Bidding!!

Inside the Ford GT's interior

Mon, Mar 23 2015

Ford has crafted a simple yet high-tech interior for the GT supercar, which has been on display at auto shows around the world this year. The instrument panel has a two-tier design with a floating wing. There are soft-touch materials and carbon fiber, which also is used for the passenger cell. Still, the GT's interior has been shrouded in more mystery than the rest of the car. To cast some light on the GT's cabin, we caught up with Ford design vice president Moray Callum, who explained the ins and outs of the future icon's interior. Put simply, "there's not a lot of excess materials," Callum said. But what is there is pretty cool. In case you haven't heard, Ford plans to launch the GT in 2016. It will run a mid-mounted twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and make extensive use of carbon fiber for the body structure. Related Video:

Americans will get a four-cylinder Ford Mustang after all? [w/poll]

Sat, 09 Mar 2013

Ask and you shall receive. Remember that previous report suggesting that the 2015 Ford Mustang getting a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, and that it would be sold in Europe only and not the United States? Well, according to Road & Track, the rumor is only partially true - The Mustang will get the engine, but it is indeed coming to America.
Additionally, according to RT, the 3.7-liter V6 will continue to serve as the base engine, and since it offers up a stout 305 horsepower in its current form, it's likely that the 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost will produce a bit more than that. At the top of the range, the Mustang GT will continue to soldier on with a V8 engine, which should continue to send over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels.
Finally, while we agree 100 percent with RT's heartfelt request for a paddle-shift automatic, we certainly expect that the EcoBoost 'Stang will be offered with a manual transmission as standard equipment. This is a Mustang, after all...

Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
