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 |

Jay Leno is far beyond driven in his 1971 Pantera
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Perhaps it's fitting that the band Pantera is known for its heavy metal music, because the DeTomaso Pantera is the automotive equivalent of a metal album. It's short, aggressive and makes a mean sound. It doesn't mess around either, with a Ford 351-cubic-inch (5.75-liter) V8 sending mountains of torque to the rear wheels. This week, Jay Leno takes us on a detailed tour of his '71 to show why it rocks.
There's a regular format to Jay Leno's Garage. It starts with Jay and maybe a guest taking a look at the car and talking about its history, and then they take it out on the open road. However, this video is practically a Pantera buyer's guide. Jay is adamant from the start that the last thing anyone should own is a stock example. To remedy this, he and his guest, the editor of the Pantera Club magazine, take viewers to school about some of the ways to turn them into even better performance machines.
No matter what you do to it, though, the Pantera requires that the driver adapt to it, not the other way around. For example, Jay isn't a big guy by most standards, but he has to cram himself into the cockpit with his shoes off and shirt partially unbuttoned just to go for a drive. Still, once out on the road, it all makes sense with that rumbling V8 and those Italian supercar looks. Scroll down to watch and learn a lot more about this uncompromising '70s performance car.
2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.
Ford secures Microsoft for software updates
Thu, Mar 19 2015Ford is dropping Microsoft later this year as its infotainment partner when the Blue Oval switches to the BlackBerry QNX operating system for Sync 3 (pictured above). However, the two companies aren't severing ties completely, because the Redmond, WA, outfit is taking responsibility for Sync 3's wireless updates. Don Butler, Ford Director of Connected Vehicles and Services, announced the deal during a speech, according to Automotive News. "We've obviously had a good, long relationship with Microsoft," he said. "Microsoft understands the automotive environment and the kinds of experiences that we'd like to enable." The ability for Sync 3 to accept Wifi updates was announced as a major feature the new infotainment system, but this was the first mention of how that has been handled. Ford will host the files on Microsoft's Azure Cloud servers, according to Automotive News. Owners will need to give permission to check for new software, and they'll be notified after an improvement's installation. Dealers will install Wifi transmitters to keep vehicles on the lot up to date, as well. Sync 3 is set to replace the much-maligned MyFord Touch later in 2015 on some 2016 model year vehicles, and by next year it should be available throughout the Ford and Lincoln lineups. In addition to the wireless updates, the new system also promises a simplified interface, better voice recognition and faster response times. Ford Motor Company is preparing for vehicle ownership and user experiences of the future with the creation of a global cloud based Ford Service Delivery Network enabling new ways for consumers to interact with cars. Teaming up with Microsoft, Ford will expand connected services for customers around the world using the globally scalable and reliable Azure Cloud infrastructure. Ford and Lincoln owners will benefit from the convenience of new connectivity services keeping them better informed and in control of their vehicle at all times with the expanded availability of features like scheduled remote start, vehicle finder, and vehicle status (fuel or charge level, tire pressure). Building the Ford Service Delivery Network (SDN) on the Microsoft Azure platform enables a common platform for Ford to bring new features and services to market faster, quickly scale up for global implementation, and remain flexible for the future. Starting later this year, the Service Delivery Network will first enable over-the-air software updates for SYNC 3.
