HERE IS A GORGEOUS BODY-ON RESTORED HIGH-END DRIVER IN THIS 1957 FORD THUNDERBIRD CONVERTIBLE WITH MATCHING NUMBERS 312CI/245HP MOTOR AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN A STUNNING COLOR COMBINATION THAT IS TURN-KEY AND READY TO DRIVE ANYWHERE!

Please e-mail me with questions or to set up an inspection to see the car in person. AUCTION MAY BE STOPPED AT ANY TIME. 

Vehicle came out of Auburn Indiana. Previous owner had done a recent body-on restoration on the vehicle, which included paint/bodywork, new chrome bumpers, new interior, new convertible top, new whitewall tires, new gas tank and tons more. This is a RUST-FREE CAR that is turn-key and ready to drive anywhere.

OPTIONS:

Power steering

Power brakes

Vintage Air Conditioning

Two Tops (porthole hardtop in white, and convertible top)

#s Matching 312ci/245hp V8 motor

Automatic transmission

Whitewall tires

Under the hood lies a virtually all stock and unmodified 312ci motor with factory 245hp. Meticulously serviced throughout its life. Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great along with the nice and throaty exhaust system. Transmission is solid and shifts good without any noises or grinding. I drive the car about once every other week for short trips around down or every once in a while I'll take it to a cruise night on the highway. It has never let me down and always performs great. 

Interior is basically all stock and COMPLETELY REDONEDoor panels in excellent shape. Dash is very clean (has carpeted dash cover in pictures, but clean underneath with some glue strips on it). Seats in excellent shape throughout. Nice carpet. Overall beautifully presentable for a high end driver.

EXCELLENT CHROME throughout (front and rear bumpers were rechromed and look great).

Underside has a SOLID frame with NO rot or major rust other than some on the surface. Floors appear very nice. Trunk pan looks very good as well.

The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is in VERY GOOD shape throughout, and although it looks fairly good with plenty of shine, it has various small chips, and one 2" hairline crack by front passenger wheel well. Not working: wipers (NEW motor included but not yet installed), may need a couple of bulbs replaced here and there, a/c could use recharge/service. Brakes work fine but steers to the right when braking hard (most likely worn wheel cylinder, which I will have my mechanic replace before auction ends if I get to it). Missing: one rear wheel skirt. Two smaller gauges from dash cluster were removed and rebuilt, not yet reinstalled (they are included of course). NEW weatherstripping and window felt strips are included with the car, but not yet installed. Convertible top canvas has two tiny holes from being "pinched" behind the seat when stored.

So overall she is not perfect and will need some form of very minor TLC depending on how nice you want it to be and what you plan to do with the car. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 60 years old so keep that in mind.

If you just want a GREAT LOOKING TURN-KEY DRIVER then this is the car for you. If you want a show car, it will need some work to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

2016 Ford Focus RS may yet be AWD, US sales likely

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

When it comes to forbidden fruit, few vehicles are spoken of in as hushed a tone as the Ford Focus RS. The turbocharged, five-cylinder hot hatch could only be seen from afar by American customers as it tore up the roads of Europe. And while it's safe to say that Ford's Yankee fans are quite happy to now be on equal footing with drivers in the old country thanks to the Focus ST, we doubt there'd be much protestation over a successor to the RS arriving stateside.
Of course, we've seen images of the new RS undergoing testing, but a new story by Road and Track aims to fill in some very large blanks in our knowledge of that car, thanks to a pair of mysterious insiders at the Ford. Chief among those is this - the RS will almost certainly make its way to the US, albeit in limited quantities. It gets better, though.
Under hood, the new RS is unsurprisingly expected to borrow the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Ford Mustang and 2015 Lincoln MKC. While that twin-scroll turbo produces 310 horsepower in the Mustang and 285 ponies in the MKC, R&T expects the RS to deliver quite a bit more firepower - 325 to 350 hp, with preference going to the higher output due to the limited-edition nature of the RS. This roughly fits with previous reports.

2015 Ford Mustang stars in bizarrely awesome '80s aerobics video

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

For reasons we can't comprehend, here's a music video starring the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang and a number of dancers dressed and styled in the most stereotypically 1980s way possible. The dancers then take part in a male-versus-female dance off. Again, we've no idea why it exists.
It's weird, and for the second time in two weeks, we're sat at our computer wondering, "What are we watching?" That said, it does show the new Mustang from a number of angles, and it's one of the first car-related YouTube videos we've seen that's available in a 4K, ultra-high-def stream.
Take a look below, and let us know what you think in Comments.

Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.
