Here is a nice 1956 Ford Thunderbird. We bought the car to hot rod and customize it but decided it was too nice to tear apart. So we got another car to modify.
The car runs nice and has had a lot of work done recently. We have all the receipts from the previous owner. The car came from Westminster MD but spent a lot of time in the Miami area (their winter home)
The car was originally a tan ? mauve? color. It is showing under the repaint in areas and in the trunk. The paint is worn, chipped, scratched and flaking. Like Patina??? The body looks nice. does not look like it was ever wrecked. I took a magnet to the body and only found 4 small spots less than 6 inches round. They were low in the rocker/fender area....I would guess the usual rust areas. The floors looked great. We found one spot of rot about the size of the tip of your finger.
Rear bumper is nice...no rot. Chrome looks pretty good but not perfect. front bumper the Chrome is showing it's age and should be replated. Not rusty...just scratched and old looking.
The interior is OK...it shows it's age but is not too bad. A few small rips here and there.
Motor runs OK...could use a little tuning. I drove the car 20 miles home when we bought it. Stopped, steered and drove just fine...it was a nice ride. We did have the tank cleaned. It clogged the line after sitting a bit.
All in all the car would make a nice little driver or would make a great start for a restoration.
Thanks For Looking and Good Luck

RTR Spec 5 Concept shows off 2015 Ford Mustang's drifty potential
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Meet the Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5 Concept, a fully functional drift car that, according to our team in Sin City, has been doling out demo drifts in front of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Destined to be the flagship of RTR's Tactical Performance Line, the Spec 5 Concept is, in addition to its 5.0-liter Aluminator V8 engine, chock full of performance parts that you can buy for your very own 2015 Mustang. In addition to the Ford Racing engine, the OEM parts supplier has lent the Spec 5 an aluminum radiator and a close-ratio six-speed transmission.
ASD Motorsports provided the front lower control arms, while the car itself rides on a fully customized coilover suspension. Magnaflow and American Racing have provided the exhaust system and headers, respectively. 20-inch HRE wheels, designed for RTR, are wrapped in sticky Nitto rubber.
2014 Ford Cobra Jet announced with new colors, parachute mount
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Ford's drag-strip-ready Mustang Cobra Jet is back for 2014, and it's sporting a few changes to make it even better - both in competition and while sitting still. Rolling off the assembly line ready for duty in the NHRA Stock or Super Stock classes, production of the 2014 Cobra Jet is limited to just 50 units.
Racing upgrades for 2014 include the addition of a new three-speed transmission and a parachute mount, and while these will make the car better in the quarter mile, the Cobra Jet's new colors will make it look better tearing down the track. Buyers can now get their racecars painted up in Gotta Have-It Green or a custom, Cobra Jet-exclusive matte black hue. Ford and Ford Racing have already teamed up to make this an incredible factory drag racer with a full rollcage, massive Hoosier slicks, a race-tuned suspension setup and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. Now, if only wheelie bars came standard...
Unlike the confusing third-party ordering system announced for the COPO Camaro, all you need to snatch up a 2014 Cobra Jet is $97,990 and good timing (as the cars will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis). Ordering opens up next month with production commencing in July. Check out the press release below.
