Offered at auction is my 1955 Ford 2 Door Club Sedan. eBay does not offer a "Club Sedan" model so I had to list it in the 'Crown Victoria" section. It is NOT a Crown Victoria but the Club Sedan which the Crown Vic model is based on. I recently purchased this highly collectible automobile with the intent of restoring it to it's original beauty. I have since realized that I have too many projects (1946 Chevrolet Truck, 1953 Chevrolet Truck, 1977 GMC Desert Fox, 1964 Honda 300 Dream, etc.) so my time line for restoring this classic is years down the road. Rather than store it I am offering it for auction and hope the new owner will bring it back to it's original condition. Rust is an issue with this car. There are small rust areas on the front fenders but not serious. The headlight eye brows are in GREAT SHAPE with no rust issues at all. The rocker panels are in good condition. Interior floor boards will need replacing or repair. Rear quarter panels are in need of replacement. You can purchase replacement quarter panels on eBay for $165.00 each. That is very affordable USA made fenders that make this a VERY restorable classic. Try that with a 55 Chevy and you will spend tens of thousands just in parts. The engine is the original 272 V8 "Y" engine (highly collectible itself) and turns freely. The frame is in good condition as well as under the hood. There are no major rust issues with the engine compartment, frame, etc. All of the chrome trim is complete and mostly in good condition. The windshield and rear glass are in good condition as well as the rear passenger glass. Both driver and passenger door glass will need to be replaced. I have not been able to open the trunk (no key but have the original ignition key) so I am not sure what is in the trunk or the condition of the trunk floor but you should assume it needs to be replaced. I can see the spare tire and the driver door interior panel in the trunk area (through the rear seat springs into the trunk area). The previous owner "thinks" the oil bath air filter is in the trunk but I honestly don't know yet. I'll try and get a locksmith out here and get the trunk opened in the next few days. I have all four steel rims AND all four original hub caps. Tires are shot (but I did put two new rear tires on it just to be able to load it on my trailer). Brakes are shot (I assume). Transmission shifter is hooked up and appears to shift through all positions and "park" does work to keep the car from rolling. The car is located in Paul's Valley, Oklahoma (50 miles south of Oklahoma City) and I encourage you to take a look prior to bidding if at all possible. I live in the Oklahoma City area so prior arrangements will need to be made so I can meet you to show the car. I have taken a lot of photos of the car and will post as many as possible on the Ebay listing. I can send you additional photos if you request them. I have a very modest reserve set on this car so bid to own. I require a $500 NON REFUNDABLE deposit (weeds out the non serious bidders) within 24 hours of the auctions' end so be sure you are serious about buying it if you win the bid. The balance is due within 7 days and payable only by cash or wire transfer. I will help load the car on a trailer for transport and will help the winning bidder to arrange transport if needed BUT I can not deliver the car since my job will prevent me from taking the time off. I understand the complications of buying a vehicle on eBay and trust me I will do everything possible on my end to eliminate the headaches of such a transaction. In other words I can and will work with you to make this as pleasant a transaction as possible. You can reach me at (405) 328-4309 between 8:00 AM CDT and 8:00PM CDT or through the eBay route. Thanks for looking and good luck. Yes, I will answer any question as best I can and as honestly as I can and as fast as I can. |

Ford builds USAF Thunderbirds Edition Mustang for charity
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Each year since 2008, Ford has created a one-off Mustang to celebrate military aviation, and the cars have been auctioned off at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Gathering of Eagles charity event to raise money to inspire the next generation of aviators. This year's charity car is the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, which also helps celebrate 60 years of Thunderbirds air show excellence.
Of all the EAA charity cars, this Thunderbirds Edition is the most in depth. Painted to match the F-16 Tomcat fighter jets used by Thunderbirds, this Mustang also gets a widebody kit and 22-inch Forgiato wheels to go with the cockpit's Recaro bucket seats, rear-seat delete and modified navigation screen and gauge cluster. Even the Mustang's projector puddle lights have been changed to show an aircraft silhouette - rather than the Mustang's galloping horse logo - when the doors are open.
Themes for previous EAA charity cars include the Blue Angels, SR-71 Blackbird and the Red Tails as well as the F-22 Raptor-inspired AV8R and AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll" models. Scroll down for the press release for the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, and be sure to check out our galleries for all six aviation-themed Mustangs.
MyFord Touch getting second update, extended warranty
Wed, 28 Nov 2012There is no doubt that Ford has had its hands full fielding complaints with its MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems these days, but looking to keep its customers happy, Ford is once again upgrading its infotainment systems and extending the warranties. Despite having just sent out updates for its systems back in March, Automotive News says that customers are still complaining about the speed and ease of use.
Vehicles with MyFord Touch will now get a five-year, unlimited-mile warranty, while the MyLincoln Touch will have a six-year, unlimited-mile warranty. Previously, the systems were covered under basic warranties (three-year, 36,000-mile for Ford and four-year, 60,000-miles for Lincoln).
What is being referred to as "version 3.5" for the MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems will be mailed out (or downloaded) next month for owners of cars without navigation and in January for cars with nav. Owners of hybrids, plug-ins and electric vehicles will get the update sometime in the first quarter of next year.
Ford Police Interceptors dominate Michigan State Police testing
Tue, Nov 1 2016Once again, Ford Motor Company builds the fastest police vehicles. The Blue Oval touted the news in an official release following Michigan State Police and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department testing. Ford did very well. Except for one acceleration metric – zero to 10 miles per hour – the Blue Oval's Taurus and Explorer-based cop cars were the quickest, with particular praise coming for the EcoBoost-powered models, which bested Chevrolet and Dodge's V8-powered variants. Dearborn's products also posted the fastest average times around MSP's vehicle dynamics course. But it wasn't all positive for Ford. The only four-cylinder in the contest, the 2.0-liter, EcoBoost Ford SSP Sedan, had both the lowest top speed, 120 mph, and the slowest acceleration figures. It was also the slowest in track testing. Ford's products also failed to match the braking and top speeds of its rivals from Detroit and Auburn Hills – the rear-drive Charger Pursuit posted the best braking stats of the entire test, while the V8-powered Chevrolet Caprice hit the highest top speed, at 155 mph. Ford did score a top speed award, among SUVs, but at 132 mph, the naturally aspirated Police Interceptor Utility had to share its award with the equally fast, rear-drive Chevrolet Tahoe. The LA County Sheriff's timing isn't publicly available, but according to Ford, the EcoBoost-powered police cars put on a similarly impressive show for cops on the West Coast. We've assembled a spreadsheet on Google Docs that offers an easy to browse comparison of the different stats assembled by the Michigan State Police, and divided the vehicles between standard V6-powered sedans, high-performance sedans (EcoBoost and V8 models), and SUVs.
