No Reserve - 1954 Ford Crestline Victoria V8 , 51k, Rare Sedan, Three Speed Automatic This is a cool, original and complete 54 Ford Crestline Victoria Sedan with the 239 V8. This Ford Sedan features options such as bumper protectors, AM radio, MagicAire system, rear blower defrost (works but noisy) and dashboard clock. The electrical system has been upgraded to 12 volt. There were many improvements for the 1954 model. This is from conceptcarz.com: 1954 was a successful year for Ford, as it introduced a host of new technology and styling advances. With their slogan 'More than ever, the standard for the American road,' Ford was intent on becoming the leader in the low-priced, entry-level market. There were also major mechanical improvements new for 1946: In 1954, Ford introduced their all-new, overhead-valve 'Y-block' V8 engine. The unit displaced 239-cubic inches and had a 7.8:1 compression ratio. Horsepower increased by nearly 25 percent than that of the old flathead, powered by a 239 cubic-inch V8 engine offering 130 horsepower. There is an engine-tuned instrument panel, an AM radio and the Ford-O-Matic automatic gearbox. The car is There are four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes and an independent front suspension. I bought the Ford from an old hot rodder who had had it since the late 70's and was moving. He told me the engine and transmission have about 10k on them, my mechanic says it drives and sounds like a rebuilt drivetrain. Recent work includes new exhaust with the "cherrybomb" muffler (as seen in the pix), brakes, tuneup with points and coil, fuel lines and fuel pump and belts and hoses. The lights work, the heater works but the switch is intermittent, the works once in a while but needs a new speaker. Clock and AM radio do not work, horn does. Modern stereo mounted under dash. All the glass is in very good shape, all windows work, one small crack at the corner of one of the driver's window. The driver's rear brake cylinder has gotten sticky at times, will need to be replaced. The interior is original, nicer seat covers on the car now, door panels are discolored and a bit frayed but complete, headliner will need to be redone. The car was painted black with a satin finish, it was originally blue. The pix in the sun were taken shortly after the car was painted about 4 years ago. The bumpers were painted a metallic silver, front bumper has a dent behind the driver's side bumper guard. Small spots of corrosion in a couple of places but the floors trunk and frame are solid. The engine runs off a 10 gallon marine fuel cell in the trunk. I have the original tank which needs to be boiled out but these days reproductions are a much cheaper solution. The original hubcaps are back on the car now with fairly new Michelin tires. The paint looks good from 10 feet but could use a professional repaint, the previous owner did it himself. I will include the American Racing wheels in the pix for an additional $500. It's a fun car to drive! She starts up immediately even after sitting, the acceleration is good, she shifts easy and the ride is good for an all orginal car from 1954. This is a cool looking, good running old ratrod Ford and wouldn't take much to get perfect. From what I've seen the 54 Ford mostly came as coupes, it's hard to find a four door. No leaks from anywhere, garage floor always dry when I pull her out. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Ford is for sale locally and I'm willing to accept reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a door to door auto shipper I've used in the past; they're professional, reliable and have great rates. Nice 50's hot rod which could use some flames and Cragars, perfect for cruise nights. Any questions feel free to email or call 914-224-3230 |

Ford Apollo edition Mustang nets $230K for charity
Fri, Jul 31 2015Ford's Apollo Edition Mustang won't be going to the moon anytime soon, but the specially modified pony car will be helping young people learn to fly thanks to the $230,000 raised from its charity auction during AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI. All of the funds go to the Experimental Aircraft Association's Youth Aviation Programs that assist kids in becoming pilots. Eight specially modified Mustangs are responsible for raising about $3 million for the charity to date. With inspiration from the Apollo Program and a 2015 Mustang GT as a canvas, Ford Design manager Melvin Betancourt needed to create a road-going rocket ship dedicated to this massive engineering accomplishment. He definitely succeeded. The car is ready to takeoff with its supercharged 5.0-liter V8 pumping out 627 horsepower and 540 pound-feet of torque. The orange LEDs underneath make it look ready to blast into orbit, too. The exterior mixes patriotic imagery with lightweight carbon fiber performance parts, and on the interior, additional embroidery pays homage to the whole project of reaching the moon. Each year Ford returns to AirVenture with a new, customized 'Stang. In 2014, the car took inspiration from the F-35 Lightning II. The US Air Force Thunderbirds tribute car in 2013 and the Navy Blue Angels version in 2011 both raised $400,000 for the EAA charity. The SR-71-inspired example from 2010 went for another $375,000.

Watch Vaughn Gittin Jr. hit the ice in his 2015 Mustang RTR
Thu, Mar 19 2015There's more than one way to get a car to drift. You can set up a purpose-built drift car. Or you can put a car on a slick surface. But in this case, Vaughn Gittin Jr. has done both. In this latest video, the driftmeister extraordinaire reveals the new livery for his 2015 Ford Mustang RTR, and put it on a frozen track, flanked by snow banks. It's the perfect place to drift any car, and this custom pony car could very well be the perfect drifter. Call it a match made in heaven. A cold, frozen-over slice of heaven where rear-drive muscle cars put on one heck of a show. Gittin, for those unfamiliar, is one of the drifting scene's foremost showmen, and like Ken Block or Tanner Foust, he competes primarily in Blue Oval machinery. Vaughn will be challenging the Formula Drift series once again in the Mustang RTR, but whether the sideways-driving championship is coming to a circuit near you or not, you can scope out a piece of the action right here.
Detroit Three autoworkers could get huge bonuses
Mon, 06 Jan 2014For a long time, being a line worker for one of the Detroit Three has meant living with an uncertain future. With the health of American automakers on the rise, though, things are also starting to look up for the men and women building the cars. The latest sign that things aren't bad? Big profit-sharing checks.
According to The Detroit News, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler could end up paying over $800 million to 130,000 workers as part of a profit-sharing plan. According to The News, the economic impact of these profits in Michigan alone could exceed $400 million, besting the NFL's Super Bowl, MLB's All-Star Game and the NHL's Winter Classic for their economic impact.
This is the third straight year the Detroit Three have issued profit-sharing checks to UAW employees, and for many workers, the checks are as close as they'll get to a raise, due to the most recent contract between the union and the manufacturers. On average, employees at GM and Ford receive $1 for every $1 million in North American (not just the US) pre-tax profits. Chrysler, meanwhile, gets a similar deal, although the Auburn Hills-based company calculates profit sharing using 85 percent of the brand's global profits.
