1955 Ford Thunderbird Base Convertible 2-door 4.8l on 2040-cars
Warsaw, Indiana, United States
|
1955 Ford Thunderbird 31,500 ORIGINAL mileage The car has no rust and has no evidence of it ever having rust. Trunk and floors are perfect. Bottom of doors are perfect. I've added pictures of both. Five years ago this car was appraised at $48,500.00. The paint was in better shape. A fresh coat of paint would make it a $40k car! NADA values are $25k to $55k; Hagarty is $20k to $60k. My bottom price is a firm $25,000.00. You should see what Amos Mintor sells his t-birds for; this is a deal for a low-mileage t-bird!! This car is an investment, which you will never loose money, nor are they going down in price. Car is current on license, registration, and insurance. Clear Indiana title showing ACTUAL MILEAGE. I also have two previous title copies with milage actual. Main reason for selling the car we have a 10 month old and don't have the extra time to enjoy the car anymore. The car was repainted snowshoe white, in the early 80's. The paint is 30+ years old and could use fresh paint, but overall still looks good. Interior is very nice - black and white. 6 volt - 4 ply bias wide white wall tires A lot of options include: AM Radio, power brakes, power steering, power seats, power windows, windshield washers, and backup lights. The motor is original 292 with teapot Holley carb. Hard top - only car has swing up bracket so convertible top could be added - not included. Not many original 1955 Thunderbirds around with 31,500 actual mileage - body is solid - car has not been messed with a lot; just sat in a couple peoples collection. SERIOUS inquiries only - no low-ballers, solicitors - no trades - CASH MONEY. Car is sold as is, so please ask questions. Buyer is responsible for making own arrangements to pick up car. |

Ford Police Interceptors win acceleration war against Dodge, Chevy
Thu, 17 Oct 2013Just last month, Ford announced its first-ever non-pursuit-rated version of the Police Interceptor sedan for agencies looking to maximize fuel economy, but that doesn't mean that Ford is giving up on chasing down the bad guys. While the Dodge Charger can lay claim to the fastest lap time at the Grattan Raceway test facility held by the Michigan State Police, the results are now in for the Police Vehicle Evaluation acceleration tests. And Ford's Police Interceptor duo (sedan and utility) came out on top.
In the acceleration tests, Ford says that the Taurus-based PI Sedan with the newly available 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 was the quickest among prospective police cars in both 0-60 and 0-100 mile per hour times. The sedan posted a 0-60 time of 5.66 seconds with all-wheel drive and 5.71 seconds with front-wheel drive, besting V8-powered competitors like the Chevy Caprice and Dodge Charger by more than 0.3 seconds. These rivals close the gap on the AWD sedan in the 0-100 test with the Ford taking 13.5 seconds compared to the Chevy's time of 14.35 and the Dodge's time of 14.7.
As for utility vehicles, the Explorer-based PI Utility, which accounts for 60 percent of Ford's police vehicle sales, essentially went head-to-head with the V8-powered Chevy Tahoe with similar results. Equipped with the new EcoBoost engine option, this big SUV hit 60 mph in just 6.28 seconds and 100 mph in 15.51 seconds compared to times of 8.22 seconds and 21.95 seconds, respectively, for the Tahoe. Other important tests in the PVE include braking and top speed, but while no automakers have stepped up to boast about their numbers in either of these categories, Ford's images show that the V8 Caprice had the highest top speed of the cars at 155 mph while the Tahoe's 139-mph speed made it the fastest utility vehicle.
Ford Fiesta ST GRC Racecar is hungry for podiums in 2013
Thu, 07 Feb 2013As we reported earlier, the Chicago showing of this plucky Ford Fiesta ST GRC racer points to bigger and brighter days for Global RallyCross. For the upcoming season, you can expect to see Ken Block and Tanner Foust both driving the Ford racecar, and if last season's results are any indication, you can anticipate quite a few podium appearances, as well.
The Fiesta seen here was built by the Swedes at OlsbergsMSE, and will be driven in anger by Foust in 2013. Modifications are, as you'd expect, extensive, and include an engine, exhaust and braking upgrades, a racing style short-throw shifter and a limited-slip differential. As you can see, the car has been fully stripped out and caged for maximum speed and safety, too.
Refresh your memories with the details of the car, in the press releases below. And if you head out to the Chicago Auto Show this year, don't forget to drop by the Ford stand to have a look.
2015 Ford Focus
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Sitting down at the pre-drive briefing with Ford engineers ahead of sampling the refreshed 2015 Focus, water bottles clinked as we wet our whistles before Q&A. While pouring a glass, we noticed something stamped on the bottle label: "1L." One liter. We were palming the exact displacement of the EcoBoost engine our group was about to drive. This was undoubtedly coincidence (such bottles litter every conference and dinner table in Europe) but it served to drive home just how small the total swept volume of Ford's wunderkind powerplant really is. It's tiny.
Of course, this isn't our first run-in with the little triple - we've sampled its turbocharged charms before in Ford's smaller Fiesta. At that time, we found it had plenty of poke for the subcompact, but the larger C-segment Focus carries around another 450 pounds or so and pushes a wider profile through the air. Would the three-cylinder have the stuffing to make the most of the Focus' athletic chassis, or would it be a letdown? Would it be the same as it was when we tested it in a Euro-spec Focus a couple of years ago? There was nothing left for it but to head out on the bucolic roads surrounding Versailles the day after the Paris Motor Show and find out for ourselves.
