1956 T-Bird-NO RESERVE__The car is being relisted at no reserve-The body on the car looks to have a decent older restoration that is starting to show its age. The paint still has a great shine and is in good condition. The only places that the body is staring to show is on the bottom of the passenger door and it has a couple bubbles on the passenger side rear fin by the trunk. It has some bubbles on the trunk lip also. I tried to take pics of these area but they dont show to well in the pics as they really arent that bad. There are no rust holes or anything its just bubbling. The passenger side front fender has some chips on it and have been touched up-I also took a pic of this. The chrome is excellent-Both bumpers are fantastic. The stainless is pitted in places. Both door handles, and the trim around the porthole window are pitted. I took pics of these. The continental kit is excellent. The tires are good year bias ply-Have tread but are kinda old. The trunk seems good as are the floors. I took pics-The interior is where we have some issues that you can correct pretty easy. The seat is excellent as is the dash pad-It has no cracks. The door skins are decent. I took pics of all these.It has some basic issues. The speedometer isnt working nor is the tach,and the heater blower motor. The wipers motor work but is not connected to the rods. Gas gauge works fine as do all the lights turn signals brake lights and horn all work as they should. It has both tops. The soft top frame is good but the canvas is old. The hardtop is good and has 1 small cut in the headliner. Mechanically the car has a 312 with a tri-power setup on it. It is connected to a 4 speed tranny. The clutch is good as is the trans-It shifts as it should. The motor is the solid lifter 312 and has an edelbrock intake with the 3 holley carbs on it. When I got the car it ran like crap. It was all carb related. So I had all 3 carbs rebuilt and purchased new linkage for the tri-power. It now runs very good. 1 of the carbs is leaking a little fuel around the base but I have been driving it-So that would need to be adjusted. But mechanically the car runs very good. It runs drives and brakes as it should. Its a little interesting to drive with those bias ply tires and drum brakes and no power steering. But thats how they made them back then. But like I said I have been driving it around and runs great and turns heads everywhere it goes. It just needs some tinkering with that dash stuff and the body is good except for the little bit of bubbling and the bottom of the pass door. -Its no show car by any means but its an older restoration thats just showing some age,but is a nice cruise that needs some tlc --If you would like any other pics just let me know. I encourage you to come see the car. We are a NY Dealer so NY residents will have to pay sales tax. Please feel free to ask questions. I try to be as honest as I can. I have sold many cars on E-bay and I have 100% positive feedback for a reason. I try to be honest about the description. Its not a show car but can be a nice driver with some tinkering. Drive it while you fix it,take it to local cruise ins-The paint job is prensentable. I actually just waxed it-I do have an original intake and carb for the car-It was given to me along with a box of stuff. --The pics dont show the bubbles I spoke of or the bottom of the pass door, But I took the pics. Its just an older resto coming through. It was a decent restoration.-The car is located in Elmira NY and is being sold "AS-IS" with no warranty--High bidder gets the car--No Reserve
On May-23-13 at 04:59:54 PDT, seller added the following information:
NO RESERVE-This should be the lowest price T-Bird on E-Bay-I have been watching birds for awhile on here. So for a Bird in this nice of condition its an extremely fair price-You wont find a better one for the money!!!

2015 Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition says 'happy birthday' in New York
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Fifty years ago this week, Ford debuted the first-ever Mustang at the New York World's Fair. And to celebrate, the Blue Oval is offering up this special, 50th Anniversary Edition 2015 Mustang, which makes its debut at the New York Auto Show. It'll be a seriously limited affair, with only 1,964 examples of the special edition Mustang slated to be produced (the number chosen to coincide with the 'Stang's first year in production). But for those who raise their hands for the 50th Anniversary package, there's a pretty sweet package in store.
The 50th Anniversary Edition is based on the 2015 Mustang GT with the Performance Pack, and is only available in two colors: Kona Blue, or Wimbledon White (pictured). The car also comes fully loaded - the only option for buyers to choose is the transmission. Should you opt for the six-speed automatic, you'll get a limited-slip rear differential with a 3.55:1 final-drive ratio (the 50th Anniversary car is also the only way to get a slushbox-equipped 'Stang with the Performance Pack). Selecting the six-speed manual 'box will net you a Torsen differential with a 3.73:1 ratio. All 50th Anniversary cars will be powered by Ford's 5.0-liter, naturally aspirated V8, estimated to produce more than 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque in the 2015 Mustang.
Inside, there's a cashmere-stitched, leather-wrapped steering wheel, with a similar detail found on the instrument panel, shift boot, door inserts, seats, and center armrest. Two-tone leather/black upholstery is also part of the 50th Anniversary package, and of course, there's a special logo on the seats.
Ford wins second consecutive Engine of the Year with 1.0L EcoBoost [UPDATE]
Wed, 05 Jun 2013For the second year in a row, Ford has taken top honors in International Engine of the Year voting. As was the case last year, it is Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that earns the automaker the accolade, achieving the highest-ever accumulated score in the 15 years that the award has been handed out.
A panel of 87 automotive journalists from 35 countries are responsible for choosing the world's best engines, and this is only the third time an automaker has managed back-to-back victories. Voters were impressed by the "Baby EcoBoost" engine's power output - 123 horsepower between 1,400 and 4,500 rpm, 148 pound-feet of torque from 1,400 to 4,000 rpm - and its compact size; Ford has demonstrated that the package is small enough to fit in the overhead bin of a passenger airplane.
Currently, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered in the European Fiesta, B-MAX, Focus, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, and Ford plans to put the engine in the Transit Connect, Transit Courier, Tourneo Connect, Tourneo Courier, Mondeo and EcoSport in short order. In North America, the Fiesta will be the first vehicle to offer the 1.0L EcoBoost later this year.
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible makes inappropriate appearance in Detroit [w/video]
Tue, 14 Jan 2014With the polar vortex fresh in the minds of Autoblog's Detroit-based staff, we're finding it funny that any manufacturer would choose January in the Motor City to show off a new and highly anticipated convertible to the general media and public for the first time. But Ford has done just that, giving us our first real peek at the new Mustang Convertible in the flesh.
The new Mustang Convertible is more or less unchanged from the standard coupe, with some subtle styling tweaks to accommodate the retractable soft top. Engine and transmission choices are identical to the hardtop, although we should expect slightly lower performance due to the hardware for the roof. Like the coupe, neither prices nor performance metrics have been published yet for the convertible.
