Here Is a true barn find of a rare classic. A 1955 Crown Victoria that has been garaged and off the road i=since 1961, This car still wears its Maine plates with the metal tag for 1960. This is a nearly complete Project car. I say nearly complete, because the previous owner took out the motor and trans then took the engine apart. We found a couple y blocks, heads, and tin. I will include the used parts that the car is Missing, but there may be some small bits we just dont have, I found in the trunk the orig intake and front cover, teapot holley 4v carb, and big oil bath air cleaner. amongst some other bits and pieces. The condition of the car is Good in my opinion for a 60 year old northeast car. There is a couple small holes in the spare tire well, and the interior floors are scaley but I didnt see any holes. I removed what was left of the carpet in an attempt to clean it out and get a view of the floors. The orig seats are still in the car, we did remove the rear seat to get into the trunk as we dont have the keys. the glass is in good shape except for the rh vent window, but will include a good used one. the stainless trim is in good shape...there is a lot of it and with a good buffing will shine like brand new,Again this car needs a restoration or throw a motor in it and drive it as it is...although it has been sitting for over 50 years, so id recommend checking everything out first. The clock shows 46k and I believe that to be original mileage. The dash is all there and in good shape even has the radio, the glove box door was down and didnt want to go up so I let it be rather than bend anything, needs to soak in some penetrating oil to be freed up. You can see in the picture its missing one headlamp door, we do have that, also the rear stone guards in front of the rear tires. Only thing thats missing is the trunk moulding, and we may have that just havnt come across it yet, this has the rear antennae option also. All in all this is a great restoration project of a really cool old car, I also have a Ton of NOS parts that came with the car that we can talk about if you win the car, some of those parts include Trunk moulding, lock sets,suspension,trim, windshield and back lite, lenses, housing, bumper guards, hub caps, trim, chrome, speedometer, and lots lots more. I have a spreadsheet with over 250 items on it and still have more to list. This is a project car and sold as is how is and every other kind of is. Ask questions before bidding, ill be glad to answer anything you might want to know or ill find out, Car is located in Eastern Ct. A 500$ non refundable deposit is due within 24 hrs of the end of the auction. its non refundable only because I still have to pay the ebay fees if you back out. If you dont have the Money please dont bid. check out my other auctions for nos parts and great used stuff for ford products. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is also for sale locally...thank you and good luck Id love to see this car go to a good home, and we could help you with the restoration if youd like. Ct Doesnt title vehicles pre 1981 so this car is sold with a bill of sale. You could get a title fairly easily if it was required. we may have that just not found it yet also, if we do find it more than happy to include it after the fact.

Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected

Thu, 29 May 2014

Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."

Ford names Lincoln chief as North American president following Nair's departure

Thu, Feb 22 2018

Ford announced yesterday that its North American president Raj Nair would no longer be working for the company due to "inappropriate behavior." As a result, the company needed fill that gaping vacancy. The new North American president and Ford Group vice president will be Kumar Galhotra, and his term in the new role will start on March 1. Galhotra will remain the group vice president and chief marketing officer for Lincoln through March, meaning he's the head of the luxury brand. He's had this position since 2014. Before that, he was vice president of engineering for all of Ford. With Galhotra's promotion, a number of internal promotions follow. Joy Falotico, current chairman, CEO and group vice president of Ford's credit division will fill Galhotra's position, and Dave McClelland, vice president of marketing for Ford Asia Pacific, will fill her role. Other shuffling at Ford includes Stewart Rawley's promotion to vice president for Ford North America and chief operating officer. He is the current vice president for strategy at Ford. Ford China's chairman and CEO John Lawler will take Rawley's old role, and Cathy O'Callaghan will take over Lawler's job at Ford China, but not until June 1. O'Callaghan is currently vice president, corporate controller and chief financial officer for global markets at Ford. Related Video:

Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.
