1957 Ford Thunderbird on 2040-cars
Onalaska, Wisconsin, United States
|
After 26 years of owning , driving and enjoying this car we have decided to sell our 57 Thunderbird. I bought this car from a private party and had it restored in 1988. The restoration was done by a well known Ford restoration shop in St Paul Minnesota. Over the years, all the mechanicals were either rebuilt or replaced as needed, and this included the following: Brakes, exhaust, gas tank , glass, interior, complete body and paint, trim, interior seats , carpet, and door panels. The hardtop and soft top were both restored by Jewels Body Shop in Brillion Wisconsin. The Y-Block V8 engine and Ford-O-Matic transmission perform very well. I do not know the history or actual mileage of either since they were in the car when I purchased it, I have not had to do any repairs to either. The car has always started and run smoothly. Everything on the car is original stock condition with only one exception, we had the radio rebuilt and had the radio shop convert the tuning mechanism to include FM stations. The radio looks completely stock but has the capability to pull in either AM or FM channels. All the other gauges work as they should including the clock! The Wide whitewall radial tires are COKER brand and the battery was replaced last fall. The speedometer reads 21,972 miles. We bought the car in 1988 and at that time the odometer read 89,000. So we have put on about 33,000 miles in 26 years. Most of which was in the first 15 years or so. I kept receipts for the parts and the restoration work that was done on the car and will send along with the car to the new owner.
We have always kept the car stored inside our garage year round and it is driven weekly during the summer and fall months , mainly for fun and cruising enjoyment. We have taken it to many local car events and shows. The new owner will also get the manuals and miscellaneous items shown in the last picture. These include the ORIGINAL FORD DIVISION DELIVERY INVOICE / WINDOW STICKER, dated 10/17/1956, FROM THE DEALERSHIP in Park Ridge , Illinois, Mark Gant Motors, shop manual, concours manuals, electrical and trim manuals. They are all old , but still in good condition. I have a reserve which I feel is a fair price and reflects the current book value according to the latest OLD CAR's PRICE GUIDE. This is our first attempt at selling this car. If you have any questions or want more pictures , don't hesitate to use the ask seller , I will send any and all info to you promptly. If you want to visit us and view and/or drive the car, just email me and we can set up a time to do that. I am retired now and have plenty of spare time for that. Shipping to your location is the buyers responsibility. Your funds must be wired to my bank before the car is released for pickup. |

2015 Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival
Thu, Aug 13 2015Considered the big kick off of the major festivities surrounding Monterey Car Week, this year's Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival certainly didn't disappoint. For those unable to make it to the California coast, our own Drew Phillips was on hand to snap some of the beautiful vehicles on display for this gorgeous gallery. Held annually at the Monterey Jet Center, the event is always a feast for the eyes by collecting planes, a gang of exotic supercars, and some the top cars crossing the auction block over the coming days, like a Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda convertible. The Ford GT both new and old was a major attendee at this year's party. Among them, the Petersen Museum brought along an original racecar and a GT40 MKIII to promote an upcoming exhibit. The classics were complimented by the latest version that has continued to keep tongues wagging. The GT wasn't the only classic with a modern update there. Singer used the posh event for the North American debut of its stunning restoration of the Porsche 911 Targa. Shelby American was also at the revival for the public unveiling of the 50th Anniversary Daytona Coupe. On the more modern front, Honda was in attendance with the future NSX and one of the McLaren F1 cars that the company's engine powers. For further proof of the ritzy folks that attend this soiree, Pagani and Koenigsegg both had stands to show off their extremely quick wares.
Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines
Mon, 27 May 2013Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.
