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.

180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains
Wed, 21 May 2014If you're planning on buying a new car in the next month or so, you might want to pick from what's on the lot, because there could be a long wait for new vehicles from the factory. Locomotives continue to be in short supply in North America, and that's causing major delays for automakers trying to move assembled cars.
According to The Detroit News, there are about 180,000 new vehicles waiting to be transported by rail in North America at the moment. In a normal year, it would be about 69,000. The complications have been industry-wide. Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Ford all reported experiencing some delays, and Chrysler recently had hundreds of minivans sitting on the Detroit waterfront waiting to be shipped out.
The problem is twofold for automakers. First, the fracking boom in the Bakken oil field in the Plains and Canada is monopolizing many locomotives. Second, the long, harsh winter is still causing major delays in freight train travel. The bad weather forced trains to slow down and carry less weight, which caused a backup of goods to transport. The auto companies resorted to moving some vehicles by truck, which was a less efficient but necessary option.
Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
