1956 Ford Thunderbird, 312 V8, 3 Speed Manual transmission with Overdrive, Power Steering, Power Seat.
This T Bird came out of California after a 25+ year hibernation, it was painted a Metal Flake Green back in the 60s and got a few minor custom touches like the Crown Vic Headlight rings and custom interior touches. I went through and made the car a driver, replacing the Brake hydraulics, Fuel system components and miscellaneous worn or bad components. The car runs and drives good, the Overdrive works excellent, the car rides a bit rough due to its Lowered Stance, and the motor smokes on start up, it needs a set of new Valve guides or seals to fix that.
The T bird has an extremely rare set of Magnesium American Racing wheels, I will give the high bidder the opportunity to take $2500 off the final purchase price if I keep the wheels and tires. I have a set of steel painted wheels that match the car that could be put on for transit, but do need new tires before use.
The body is very solid with just one spot of rust in the right rear quarter, it was however hit in the nose at some time in its life and there is bondo in the nose of the car. It is a very solid body but has its share of bumps and bruises.
The interior is clean and useable with new carpet in the factory color, the seat is a power seat but is not hooked u at this time and I do not know if it works or not.
For the most part everything works on the car, the only non functioning items I can think of are the Fuel gauge and the radio.
The last time I took the car out a few weeks ago , the radiator developed a small pin hole that needs to be fixed.
This car gets more looks everywhere it goes than anything else, it is a real head turner. you don't see T Birds like this out there, they are either restored stock or basket cases, this is a car you can get in and drive and have fun with and get tons of attention. It could use a bit of TLC but is a great Period Correct mild custom and has not really been changed.
Please call Chip @ 503-320-7391 with further questions and I can email interested parties a lot more detail pictures I have of the car upon request.
Thanks for looking!

Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile
Wed, 27 Mar 2013We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.
Social media star Scott Monty leaves Ford
Thu, 22 May 2014It seems weird to think that an automaker could have a social media star, but Ford does. Or at least it did. Scott Monty, its Global Digital Communications Manager, led the company's team for almost six years and forged a reputation as being one of the most talented people in corporate social media. But the guru recently announced that he would be leaving the automaker for an undisclosed job elsewhere.
"I just decided the time was right. I am going to take a little time with my family, and I am going to start on a new adventure pretty soon," said Monty in an interview with AdWeek. He also explained a little about his theory of how companies should use social media. In his opinion, it should be a chance to go beyond standard marketing and build a relationship with people. Businesses need to have a broad focus for its online message, and using just one service isn't enough to be successful.
Under his guidance, Ford expanded its Facebook presence significantly. According to AdWeek, it launched the 2010 Explorer on the popular site. Also, when the company wanted to investigate selling electric models, it initially gauged the public's reaction on Facebook and then advertised them there first. Monty has been a major supporter of Twitter as well to broaden the company's communication with the public.
