1956 T-Bird-NO RESERVE__The car is being relisted at no reserve-The body on the car looks to have a decent older restoration that is starting to show its age. The paint still has a great shine and is in good condition. The only places that the body is staring to show is on the bottom of the passenger door and it has a couple bubbles on the passenger side rear fin by the trunk. It has some bubbles on the trunk lip also. I tried to take pics of these area but they dont show to well in the pics as they really arent that bad. There are no rust holes or anything its just bubbling. The passenger side front fender has some chips on it and have been touched up-I also took a pic of this. The chrome is excellent-Both bumpers are fantastic. The stainless is pitted in places. Both door handles, and the trim around the porthole window are pitted. I took pics of these. The continental kit is excellent. The tires are good year bias ply-Have tread but are kinda old. The trunk seems good as are the floors. I took pics-The interior is where we have some issues that you can correct pretty easy. The seat is excellent as is the dash pad-It has no cracks. The door skins are decent. I took pics of all these.It has some basic issues. The speedometer isnt working nor is the tach,and the heater blower motor. The wipers motor work but is not connected to the rods. Gas gauge works fine as do all the lights turn signals brake lights and horn all work as they should. It has both tops. The soft top frame is good but the canvas is old. The hardtop is good and has 1 small cut in the headliner. Mechanically the car has a 312 with a tri-power setup on it. It is connected to a 4 speed tranny. The clutch is good as is the trans-It shifts as it should. The motor is the solid lifter 312 and has an edelbrock intake with the 3 holley carbs on it. When I got the car it ran like crap. It was all carb related. So I had all 3 carbs rebuilt and purchased new linkage for the tri-power. It now runs very good. 1 of the carbs is leaking a little fuel around the base but I have been driving it-So that would need to be adjusted. But mechanically the car runs very good. It runs drives and brakes as it should. Its a little interesting to drive with those bias ply tires and drum brakes and no power steering. But thats how they made them back then. But like I said I have been driving it around and runs great and turns heads everywhere it goes. It just needs some tinkering with that dash stuff and the body is good except for the little bit of bubbling and the bottom of the pass door. -Its no show car by any means but its an older restoration thats just showing some age,but is a nice cruise that needs some tlc --If you would like any other pics just let me know. I encourage you to come see the car. We are a NY Dealer so NY residents will have to pay sales tax. Please feel free to ask questions. I try to be as honest as I can. I have sold many cars on E-bay and I have 100% positive feedback for a reason. I try to be honest about the description. Its not a show car but can be a nice driver with some tinkering. Drive it while you fix it,take it to local cruise ins-The paint job is prensentable. I actually just waxed it-I do have an original intake and carb for the car-It was given to me along with a box of stuff. --The pics dont show the bubbles I spoke of or the bottom of the pass door, But I took the pics. Its just an older resto coming through. It was a decent restoration.-The car is located in Elmira NY and is being sold "AS-IS" with no warranty--High bidder gets the car--No Reserve


On May-23-13 at 04:59:54 PDT, seller added the following information:

NO RESERVE-This should be the lowest price T-Bird on E-Bay-I have been watching birds for awhile on here. So for a Bird in this nice of condition its an extremely fair price-You wont find a better one for the money!!!

Rivian R1T, Mini Cooper Electric owners happiest with their EVs

Tue, Feb 28 2023

The J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Experience (EVX) Ownership Study is out, and there's change at the top. With the swelling adoption of electric vehicles in the U.S. over in the past two years especially, the third year of the EVX study changes focus to first-time EV buyers. Those two factors encouraged change at the top of both premium and mass-market segments. Among premium EVs, the Rivian R1T pickup scored overall victory in its first year of eligibility with a satisfaction score of 794 out of 1,000. The Tesla Model 3 takes second place with 759 points. Tesla had won the top two premium spots in the study in 2021 and in 2022. The average score in the premium segment was 756. The Tesla Model Y (754), Audi E-Tron (735), and Polestar 2 (724) filled out the list of the five eligible models this year. Among the ten eligible mass-market vehicles, the Mini Cooper Electric nabbed the overall win by scoring 782. The Kia EV6 came second with 762 points, keeping Kia in the top two; the Kia Niro EV won the mass-market segment the previous two years. The Ford Mustang Mach-E (742), Hyundai Ioniq 5 (738), and Volkswagen ID.4 (735) completed the top five, the Niro EV (733) in sixth. All were above the segment average of 730. The four models fell below the segment average were the Ford F-150 Lightning (723), Chevrolet Bolt EUV (716), Chevrolet Bolt (711), and Nissan Leaf (698). How are the scores derived? J.D. Power worked with EV app maker and research firm PlugShare to get owner responses in ten areas: accuracy of stated battery range; availability of public charging stations; battery range; cost of ownership; driving enjoyment; ease of charging at home; interior and exterior styling; safety and technology features; service experience; and vehicle quality and reliability. Brent Gruber, executive director of the EV practice at J.D. Power, said, "Recent vehicle launches from both new brands and traditional automakers have had a profound effect on what factors are most important in the ownership experience. Today’s EV owners are looking for quality, reliability, driving enjoyment, safety and technology features." The Mini, in fact, scored highest of any premium and mass-market EV in the studyÂ’s highest-weighted index factor, quality and reliability.

First-edition Detroit muscle raises millions for charity at Barrett-Jackson

Mon, Jan 19 2015

Amidst all the classic metal crossing the auction block each year in Scottsdale, AZ, Detroit automakers have a tradition of donating the first examples of their most enticing new muscle cars, with the proceeds of their sales going towards worthwhile charities. This year, Barrett-Jackson handled three noteworthy examples. The highest price among them was the first Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang with the VIN #001, which raised $1 million for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. General Motors donated the first new Chevy Corvette Z06 Convertible, the first retail example of the droptop supercar garnering $800,000 for the United Way. Along with the Z06, GM also donated the first new 2016 Cadillac CTS-V sedan, which brought in $170,000 for Detroit's College for Creative Studies. Although these were the headline Motown muscle machines furnished by the automakers themselves, they weren't the only vehicles auctioned off for worthy causes. A 1950 GM Futurliner bus donated by collector Ron Pratte led the charge when it brought in $4.65 million for the Armed Forces Foundation. Other lots included a custom Jeep Wrangler donated by SEMA ($85k), a new M5 donated by BMW ($800k), a '79 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst ($140k), '39 Cadillac LaSalle C-Hawk ($410k), Jeff Gordon's 1999 NASCAR-spec Chevy Monte Carlo ($500k) and a Victory Cross Country 8-Ball motorcycle ($180k). All told, the charity lots raised over $8.7 million for local and national charities.
