1955 Ford Thunderbird project. This was a complete 2 owner car at one time. A restoration was started and then a divorce happened. The car got lost in transition. Most of the parts were left at body shop and the body man ended up going to prison. Its hard to make this stuff up.
The body work was all done, rust issues were fixed, and the car was in the process of going back together. It has received some front fender damage being moved around and will need to be repaired but its an easy fix. No rust, a great start to a project. The pictures show the car but there are few extra parts to go with, namely a radiator, a few engine parts, and a seat. Missing hood, truck, doors, top, etc.  The motor (292) and trans were rebuilt years ago and installed in the car. However, I believe you would want to tear them back down to check everything. The engine compartment is painted and I believe the front end was redone. If you can locate some body parts I think this could be a great start to owning a first gen T-Bird. The car belongs to my mother, email with questions. We are hoping someone can put this back together or use it for another bird.  If you have a complete Bird that is rotted, this would be a great car to transfer to. Car is listed locally and I reserve the right to sell it.

The 11 most expensive American cars ever

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

Here's a Pro Tip for all you would-be classic car investors out there: buy Ferraris. With the Pebble Beach festivities kicking off this week, including any number high end car auctions, we thought it would be entertaining to compile a list of some to the most expensive cars ever sold with the bang of a gavel. Trouble is, once you get past the splendor of everyone's favorite Italian sports car maker, that list is pretty boring.
Ferrari dominates the all-time auction sales list; seven of the top ten most expensive cars sold wear the Cavallino Rampante badge, as well as more than half of the top fifty. Sure, a nearly $30-million Mercedes-Benz W196 racecar might be the new top dog as of last year, but it's even possible that Ferrari could take that title back in Monterey this weekend. Long story short: we think a list of the most expensive American cars ever sold at auction is a lot more entertaining to read. Hell, our list has a friggin' Batmobile on it, how can it go wrong?
Follow on below for the top ten cars that are red, white, blue and a whole lot of green.

Project Ugly Horse: Part VI

Solid axle? What solid axle?
I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation.
This should not have gone this easily. Having a long and checkered history of simple projects punctuated by much wailing and gnashing of knuckles, I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation when I finally decided to lay hands on the '89 Mustang with the goal of relieving the car of its stock rear axle. Instead, it took less than a full morning's worth of work to carve the old 7.5-inch solid axle from its moorings and mock up something, well, different.

TRANSLOGIC 147: CES 2014 Autonomous Vehicles

Wed, Jan 15 2014

We head back to CES in Las Vegas to check on the progress of autonomous vehicles in 2014. We go hands-free on the highway with Audi, narrowly avoid a collision with Ford and hear all about BMW's drifting driverless car. But first we take a ride on Induct's self-driving Navia shuttle.
