Original drive train, 390 V8, automatic, power drivers seat, tilt away steering column Kelsey Hayes style wire wheels, aftermarket am/fm/cass stereo with Thunderbird logo(original working radio included), and radial whitewalls. This car runs,shifts and drives great. Everything seams to work including the clock. It has a newer exhaust w/glass packs and it sounds great. I have receipts totaling over $7300.00 worth of work and parts done to this car over the last 10 years. It has been very well maintained. The exterior paint is not perfect but shines nice. There are 2 stone chips on the hood and 2 small paint bubbles behind each rear wheel but hard to see. The doors are clean on the bottom, floor pans and trunk floor are solid with no repairs. The stainless is very presentable with only a couple minor dings, but as nice as I've seen on a daily driver. Both bumpers are new as are the hood and trunk ornaments and Thunderbird fender scripts. The grill guard was not replaced when the bumpers were done but looks presentable. Wire wheels have a little surface rust. Under the hood, new chrome valve covers have been added and an aftermarket air breather but the original air breather is included. All the glass is nice with no cracks. Interior appears to be original except for the new headliner and is very presentable. Dash has no cracks, looks good and the carpet is showing it's age but for 51 years old looks presentable. Door panels are in good shape for being the originals. The steering wheel has a cover on it probably hiding a crack or two. The trunk looks like new and includes factory jack and spare. With this car is the original bill of sale, owners manual, shop manual, receipts for repairs made over many years, original radio and air breather. If you looking for a super running classic this is your car. While not show quality, this is a damn nice car and with a little tweaking could be show quality but remember it's 50+ years old. As with any vintage car it is being sold "AS IS" with no promises or warranties. The car is available for inspection during the auction, not afterwards. Please ask questions as I don't do returns. A deposit of $1000.00 is due via paypal within 24 hours of auction close and the balance due within 5 days of auction close via cash in person or wire transfer, NO EXCEPTIONS !!!!!!!!!!!

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24
Tue, 01 Oct 2013It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9. Scroll down for the full press release below on Ford's latest race effort.
2015 Mustang-based Saleen S302 to boast as much as 640 hp
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The Ford Mustang is obviously a famous performance vehicle in its own right, but it often works even better as a platform for the aftermarket to upgrade. With the all-new 2015 model just now hitting the scene, the famous tuners at Saleen are getting their improvements for the new pony car ready for the world. After recently teasing it, the specs for its fresh S302 model are officially here, along with a first look at it in profile.
Of course, the biggest question on everyone's mind is how much power the company can get from the Mustang's V8. With the 2015 V8 model rated at 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet, Saleen expects to bump the Ford factory numbers slightly to 450 hp and 410 lb-ft in naturally aspirated form, or with the benefit of a supercharger, it will rocket the engine's output figures to 640 hp and 565 lb-ft. No matter which powerplant a buyer chooses, there are a wide variety of available final-drive ratios with a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
Available as either a coupe or convertible forms, Saleen will offer its S302 in three trim levels - White Label, Yellow Label and Black Label. The White Label is the only naturally aspirated one of the bunch, but it still benefits from upgrades like a new exhaust, limited-slip differential, improved suspension, heat extractor hood and rear wing.
Watch this Ford F-150 SVT Raptor fly like an eagle [UPDATE]
Mon, 04 Feb 2013The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is a very capable truck right out of the box, but "capable" has never translated into "invincible." Just ask the owner of the machine in this video. In it, the driver gets frisky with an aggressive jump with plenty of speed on his hands. The result is enough air to make Vaughn Gittin Jr. blush. As always, it's not the launch that's painful, but the re-entry. Gravity eventually asserts its dominance over the $43,630 pickup in a big way, and when it comes crashing down, it does so with a vengeance.
The impact was hard enough to set off both the alarm and multiple airbags inside the cabin. It's unclear if anyone was injured in the stunt, but we certainly wouldn't be surprised to hear that was the case. You can check out the stunt in the video below, and remember, when in doubt, back out of the throttle. Be warned, there may be some explicit/NSFW language in the clip.
UPDATE: Second video added with an even better look at the jump added below.
