1955 Crown Victoria glass top, VIN# U5SF151113# which is an “M” coded car which means it has a 272 4-barrel high performance engine, power steering, power brakes, 4-way power seat, power windows, factory dual exhausts. The car was purchased in Massachusetts in 1962 for which the owner has a bill of sale. The car was stored in a barn in 1964 while the owner attended school in Europe. To make a long story short, one of the beams in the barn broke away and fell on the passenger side rear quarter window section breaking the quarter window and damaging the roof line which caused a long crack in the glass roof and minor roof damage. When the owner returned he had the car removed and put in a garage where it was taken apart. After thinking it over he decided that he was going to have it repaired but didn’t have the money so he knew it would be a long time before the car would be fixed. He removed all of the interior, head liner, power seats and rear seats, door panels, rear quarter panels. He also removed all the outside stainless steel. The grille was removed and was sent away for re-plating. The front and rear bumpers and bumper guards were sent away for re-plating also. A new glass top was also ordered at a hefty price. To this day the glass top is still wrapped in the factory wrapping. The bumpers and grille are also still wrapped. You can see them in the pictures of the open door of the trailer. If you look carefully on the left hand side you’ll find the bumpers and on the right hand side you will find the glass top wrapped in plastic wrapping. Underneath the glass you have the front windshield and the rear glass and a box of all new glass rubbers for all the new glass. Now after 4 or 5 years he thought he found a body shop that could do the job and that just didn’t work out. The car stayed in the shop for quite a few years. A few years later he found another place but that didn’t work out either. Then he called me. I knew of the right guy. Specializes in Crown Victorias and glass tops. He made arrangements to have it done and sent it to him. For some reason I don’t know they couldn’t agree on a price and money was even scarcer than it was before so it stayed there, outside, for many, many years. All the time that it was there the shop owner tried to keep the body covered and away from the weather. In reality you still have a 1955 Crown Victoria glass top, complete car that still hasn’t been repaired. All the good stuff, glass top, and chromed articles, seats and upholstery were stored away. The only thing that was left out was the body that was pretty well emptied years ago. Somewhere during that time there was some vandalism and someone had taken the power window lift units but left the glass and everything else. Can’t go on forever so if you want more information call me at: (207)873-5402 for the rest of the story. I will put all the pictures I have so you will have an idea of what I didn’t mention. The parts and the remaining vehicle are being sold AS IS, where is with no warranty, expressed, written or implied. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have asked all of the questions necessary or thoroughly inspected the vehicle and to have satisfied himself or herself of the condition. If you are not sure about something please ask. Once again if you have questions please email. I reserve the right to end this sale if the vehicle is no longer available for sale. |

2015 Ford Mustang GT road test ride-along
Wed, 24 Sep 2014You've no doubt already pored over our first drive of the 2015 Ford Mustang, where author Jonathon Ramsey proclaimed that "this new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment." And following Ramsey's first stint behind the wheel of Ford's new coupe, we sent him back out with another 'Stang to capture some of these same impressions over a backdrop of the car moving quickly along gorgeous California canyon roads.
But this also gave our author and editors time to read through the hundreds of comments left on that original Mustang review. You readers are indeed a vocal bunch, and one particular comment about how the automotive media is so willing to bash an outgoing car as soon as the new one arrives really caught our attention. In this video, Ramsey stands by his written text, saying the new Mustang is "massively better than the one it replaces," and in doing so, addresses your comments while providing more insight into just how good the Ford truly is.
We won't spoil the rest for you. Check out the feature video above, and as always, leave us your thoughts in the Comments section below.
Ford board pushing Mulally for decision amidst fears story is drowning out other news
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Automakers and their executives rarely like to divulge information regarding future goings on, but the board of directors at Ford sound like they're getting a little antsy about chief executive officer Alan Mulally and his plans for 2014.
According to Reuters, as news of Mulally's possible departure to Microsoft continues to swirl, Ford's board is looking to push the affable executive to make a decision about his future sooner rather than later. Apparently, the board is growing concerned that this will-he/won't-he drama may end up distracting the media from covering Ford's other big news events next year - items like the debut of key all-new products like the Mustang and F-150.
So far, the picture for Mulally's eventual successor remains fuzzy, but it's understood that the leading candidate remains the company's chief operating officer, Mark Fields. Just recently, we heard that Mulally will stay until the end of 2014, but a few months ago, Ford seemed open to the idea of him stepping down earlier than that.
Ford is recalling more Takata airbag-equipped Ford and Lincoln models
Thu, Mar 2 2017The Basics: Takata, the beleaguered airbag supplier at the root of the largest recall in automotive history, has informed Ford of a problem with the airbags in just over 30,000 Ford and Lincoln models. The problem is not related to the non-desiccated ammonium nitrate airbag inflators that plague the other airbags ( including many Fords), meaning there isn't a risk of shrapnel flying out from the units in this particular recall. The Problem: In the event of an accident, the front airbags may only partially inflate, and the airbag may become detached from the module because of misaligned parts. The problem affects 2016 and 2017 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX models built at the Oakville Assembly Plant. The issue also affects 2017 Lincoln Continentals that were built at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Injuries/Deaths: In a release, Ford stated that it is not aware of any accidents, injuries, or deaths related to the airbag issue. The Fix: Dealers will replace the driver-side front airbag module at no cost. If You Own One: Sit tight and wait for Ford to notify owners. When that happens, take your car to the dealer for a replacement. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
