1956 Ford Thunderbird, 312V8, Auto trans, power steering/brakes/windows, TC radio, tinted glass, working power seat, padded dash, original seat belts. Late production in unbelievably nice original unrestored condition with original paint and upholstery. The "top " was repainted for stress crack repair.

No rust, excellent body. I am the third owner, sold new in Southern California, always garaged and pampered. Runs and drives nice. Porthole top only. Old Mark 4 a/c unit. Original owners manual, some records and books came with it. It has won survivor class events. The car shows some patina and some minor issues. The bottom of the seat on the driver's side has some seam separations, but is useable and presentable. I had to replace the carpet. The inside chrome is very nice and clean. The top headliner is clean and latches are nice and correct. The T&C radio is clean but stopped working. The tack face is nice, but the cable came in a ziplock bag (?) The clock is clean but not operating. The interior light works as does the lighting system, outside too. The tail light lenses were replaced. The engine all looks correct. I don't know if any of the drivetrain is rebuilt, but it runs and shifts right, no leaks and doesn't run hot. There is no signs of a collision. Bumpers have good original chrome. The original skirts are on it. The original jack is there, trunk floor is solid, rubber mat is very good, the exhaust is in good shape, comes out below the bumpers so no soot marks. This car gets the looks because it is original. The Ford crest is still visable on the original seat. The car has the 1956 vinyl smell, not smoked in.

The car had a frame mounted trailer hitch on it when I got it. The stance was all wrong, too high in the back (grossly high), so I removed it, and now it sits right, but two small tabs are left on the frame and can easily be removed. I am physically unable to do it (stroke). Former owner had a Chris-craft he pulled. The front bumper has no dents or twists and the bumper bullets are nice. The upper lip moulding has a small ding. Correct headlight rings, pans, grill are all good. It doesn't appear to have been hit. The plastic emblems are all original, body-hubcaps (some fading). The rear tire folds back correctly. No rust under trunk lid lip or hood. This is truly a rare survivor! For it's age, it's the best one I've had. The tires are bias ply with very good tread, correct rims and caps. The original keys and locks work. The driver's window has one crack, no bubbles or separation in windshield or back, sides. The top seals look good but the door rubber is dry but useable.

Payment should be cashier check, money order, bank to bank wire transfer, or personal check. Funds will be received before release of vehicle. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and arrangements.

Watch how Ken Block spent his weekend in Barbados

Thu, 22 May 2014

Regardless of what you think of his skill as a racer, Ken Block is an expert showman. At this point, he has a career of showing up around the world to do vehicular stunts, and he's still able to go racing as well. It's a pretty sweet niche to carve out. Recently, Block was in Barbados to participate in Top Gear Live and the first event of the Global Rallycross Championship season, and Ford Racing produced a short video to show off his exploits.
It looked like a great show. Block got to race Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes-Benz Formula One car and had a very weird crash during a Rallycross race that put his Ford Fiesta on its roof. Top Gear also released an extended look at Block and Hamilton's spectacle with the two of them expertly sliding around. Scroll down to watch the videos and get a taste of Block's tropical racing adventure.

Ken Block walks you through his new 'Hoonigan Racing' HQ

Tue, 24 Jun 2014

Ken Block seems like one hell of a nice guy. I ran into him at CES this past January, and he dropped the video games he was playing to chat with me for a while. His crew also recently gave our Steve Ewing a tour of the offices you're about to see on this video. Good guy to know.
As it turns out, they're some fairly cool new digs. Dubbed 'Hoonigan Racing Division HQ,' the office is open to Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST owners who attend the driving program offered out at Miller Motorsports Park. The very same program that Ewing reported on just recently.
Or, if you've no plans to buy an ST or travel to Utah any time soon, you can let Block show you around himself in this MTV Cribs-style video. With interior decorating that relies heavily on shipping containers and luxurious amenities like a ping pong table, 10 refrigerators and a bear(?), there's no lack of eye-candy in the driverly HQ. (Judging by Block's outfit, you'll probably not go thirsty if you're a Monster drinker, either.) Take the tour along with the Gymkhana master, below.
