1953 Ford Customline on 2040-cars
Ulysses, Kansas, United States
1953 - Ford Customline 4 Door Sedan Flat Head V/8 - 3 Speed - Black w/White Top 8-cylinders 239cid/110hp 2bbl In the 1950's Black and White two-tone was a color combination that was
tough to go wrong with and you will agree in this case with
this beautifully original unrestored 1953 Ford Customline 4-door Sedan runs and drives like an old car of that time, stored the last 6 or so years, driven on nice days and special occasions. Original interior with seat covers, retains most of its original paint,
original chrome, new master and wheel cylinders, rebuilt carburetor,
fuel pump, new fuel tank, new belts and hoses...etc. One decent restorable '53 Ford Customline need a good home. From
any angle this car has great lines and timeless looks. This black w/white top is original and could stand a complete paint job whether the same color or a custom paint job. You would turn heads at any car event or parade. The
bodywork is straight its finish is original with some painting and body work prior to my ownership. The chrome and
stainless steel trim are all original so with the age it looks good, but if I were going to restore it I would replace it. I have way too many projects to keep this one. It is one of many cars I own, so looking to pass the love for these well built cars to another enthusiast. Please LOOK and EXAMINE the pictures. I would entertain any questions or provide any further pictures if needed. When you take in all the individual details from the front bumper to the rear bumper it has been a well kept car for its age. Always seems to turn heads when driven. Inside you will find original equipment with NO modifications with the exception of a fan on the floorboard which was there when I purchased it from the original owner a few years ago. Accessories include a heater and defroster, analog clock, stock steering, stock brakes, and original AM radio that does not work. Power comes from a Flathead 239cid V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor. To complete the look the spare tire and jack are still present just as they should be. Also included is the original owner's manual. This car is a great daily driver and head turner, it is rare and you are not likely to see another one when you are out at a local event or parade. I would be glad to answer any questions or provide more pictures. One last thought: Would Consider Trading for a 1951 or 1952 Chevrolet This is a REAL crown jewel...Do NOT let it get away and slip through your fingers!! Happy Bidding!! |

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.
How Ford secretly used customers to test its aluminum F-150 [w/video]
Fri, 30 May 2014Automakers getting clever about disguising development vehicles isn't anything new. Between mules wearing the sheetmetal of other cars and prototypes decked out in as much camouflage as is practical, automakers know how to make it very difficult for the general public to get an exact idea of what kind of vehicle is in development. Ford, though, is rapidly becoming the master.
We knew that the Blue Oval originally tested the durability of the aluminum construction being used for the 2015 F-150 by building an all-aluminum 2014 truck and entering it in the Baja 1000 off-road race. That's no longer a secret. What we didn't know, though, is that the aluminum development dates back to before even that, and that some of the people in question had no idea what it was they were working with.
Ford says this is the first time prototypes have ever been handed over to the public.
Ford posts record pre-tax Q3 profit of $2.6B
Thu, 24 Oct 2013Ford took in $2.6 billion in pre-tax profits in the third quarter of the year, making for a record trio of months that saw the Blue Oval's year-over-year earnings increase by $426 million. The earnings are being attributed not just to improvements in North American sales, but sales around the globe.
Revenue was up 12 percent, to $36 billion, although net income took a hit, dropping $359 million to $1.3 billion. Ford was dinged with $498 million in pre-tax charges, which are being blamed for the drop in net income.
The news has boosted Ford's hopes for full-year results, bumping it's total profits up past $8 billion, according to Automotive News. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer is still expecting a loss in Europe, although it's forecasted less than the $1.73 billion it burned in 2012. In fact, according to CFO Bob Shanks, Ford's European losses dropped by 51 percent year-over year, a huge improvement for the brand.
