1955 Ford Crown Victoria Fairlane Barn Find V8 Overdrive on 2040-cars
Storrs Mansfield, Connecticut, United States
|
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.

2015 Ford Mustang to offer solid-rear axle, sort of
Tue, 17 Dec 2013One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.
US Air Force Thunderbirds Mustang fetches $400K at auction
Wed, 07 Aug 2013For the last six years, Ford has created a special version of the Mustang with a military aviation theme, and then donated the car to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to be auctioned off at the annual AirVenture event, also known as The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration. The money raised goes to the EAA Young Eagles program to inspire the "aviation pioneers of tomorrow," and this year's 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition was won with a final bid of $398,000.
Celebrating 60 years of the USAF's Thunderbirds, this Mustang GT is the only one of its kind with a paint job matching the Thunderbirds' F-16 Falcon jets and some Ford Racing performance added on for good measure. Including this car, Ford has helped raise around $2.3 million for the charity with the biggest auction price coming from the first year of the program, the F-22 Raptor-inspired Mustang AV8R from 2008, which sold for $500,000.
Ford Fusion getting substantial refresh for 2017
Wed, 13 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of years since Ford rolled out the current Fusion, but if these spy shots are anything to go by, it's already planning what appears to be a substantial update for the mid-size sedan.
According to our paparazzi on the ground, the new Fusion is being prepared for launch late in 2016 or early 2017. Although heavily camouflaged to keep it from prying eyes such as ours, it appears that the updated Fusion will tone down the Aston Martin-style grille, ditch the small corner window with revised front side glass and tweak the vehicle's overall shape. But there's more to the new Fusion than a styling adjustment, and our spy photographers have caught a glimpse inside and taken us along.
Apparently the new Fusion is to get a completely overhauled interior with soft-touch surfaces and matte wood trim to make it seem more upscale. There's an all-new rotary gear selector (like you'd find on a Jaguar, for example) hinting at the implementation of a new nine-speed automatic transmission. The prototype appears to be packing the Microsoft SYNC system, suggesting that the new Blackberry QNX system isn't ready quite yet - though that doesn't necessarily mean it won't be ready by the time the new Fusion is.
