Here is a Seafoam Green 1955 Thunderbird with aftermarket softtop frame only. This was my mother's car (I went with her to buy it in San Juan Capistrano in 1989) She died in 1993 and my stepfather got the car and restored it in 2000-2001.

He added Disc Brakes (Front) Air conditioning, power steering. The car was basically a rust free car when my mother bought it 24 years ago.

Paint is nearly new, one minor chip where hood closes on driver's side, and a couple around the skirts. Body is about as straight as you can get. Converted to 12 volt system, alternator etc. All gauges work great. All lights and lenses have been replaced. All chrome emblems were replaced with new reproductions. Dark teal dash is original and was in great shape all these years. Metal parts of dash were repainted original seafoam green.

Original 292 V* was rebuilt and only has about 4,000 miles on it. Engine compartment is completely detailed. Fan shroud keeps engine cool and does not overheat. Front disc brakes car stops as good as it looks. Seats and door panels were all redone using correct T Bird patterns and vinyls. Windows roll up and down, power seat works great. Smaller diameter 15 inch repro steering wheel installed.

Bumpers have all been rechromed. Automatic Fordomatic shifts about as good as can be expected for a Fordomatic. Not the greatest trannys I had one in my 63 Falcon when I was 17. Tires are wide whitewall radials and are nearly new. WireWheels were installed in 2002. No oil or tranny leaks.

Swing bar is behind the seat if you want to later install an original Softtop frame but the aftermarket works great and it pretty quiet even at freeway speeds.

When car is warmed up car starts immediately. Typical old Ford you need to pump it a bit when cold. Oil bath cleaner was replaced with NEW Teapot Carb back in 2001.

Beautiful car in the prettiest color (In my opinion) of the 1955's. Seafoam Green to me is the best with Fiesta Red coming in second.

Buyer to arrange and pay for shipping, car is located in East Hollywood (Los Feliz) not far from downtown LA. I can deliver to a local shipper. Car to be paid for within 14 days of auction close. Please email questions before bidding.

Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.

Ford EcoBoost smashes records at Daytona

Thu, 10 Oct 2013

Some mighty machines have lapped the banks of the Daytona International Speedway over the years: thunderous V8-powered stock cars, Le Mans-conquering Group C prototypes, open-wheel Champ Cars, knee-dragging superbikes... heck, the infield lake has even hosted powerboat racing. But this - this is the fastest car ever to lap the legendary raceway.
What you're looking at is the new Daytona Prototype being prepared by Riley Technologies for the new United SportsCar Championship. The car, released just last week, is powered by a new 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 from Ford's EcoBoost family, and just obliterated the top speed at the track with a blistering 222.971 miles per hour through the traps.
That's enough to annihilate the previous record that was set, also under Ford power, by Bill Elliott while placing his Thunderbird on pole for the 1987 Daytona 500 that he would go on to win. His 210.364 mph record had stood for 26 years until now.
