                                                                                     1956 Ford Thunderbird "Barn Find" RARE P-Code 312ci Power Seat Car

You are looking at Complete and original 1956 Ford Thunderbird, with the scarce P-Code 312 4bbl "Thunderbird Special" V8 and rare factory power seat. Most 56's out there are 292ci cars, and the power seat was rarely ordered. This car was pulled our of a barn in eastern New York two years ago just the way as you see it, and has been at our shop since. The car looks to have been a mild hot rod in it's time. Original 312 engine is absolutely complete, with a period Holley 4bbl carburetor, original finned aluminum Thunderbird valve covers, and factory exhaust manifolds. It's condition is not known, we have made no attempt to run it. The transmission is a 3spd manual with a period Hurst shifter. Original rear end and suspension is complete. The glass is all original and intact (including the door glass, which is rolled down). There are two tiny little chips in the windshield, but no cracks. Original dashboard is in nice condition and complete, door panels are present, and the seat is in surprisingly very nice shape for an original. No rip or tears! The factory tracks, motor, and the pistons are all there. The frame and body mounts are excellent, with only minimal surface rust. The truck is also excellent, with only a few tiny holes about 1" around. Overall it is clean and sound. The car will need all new floors. The front front pans are rusted out, and there is some rust behind/under the seat. The outer rocker panels are solid, inners have some rust. Overall the body is fairly solid, the worst panel being the driver's side door, which was will need a new lower skin. Original hood and scoop. Someone deleted the continental kit, which was standard for '56 (though it looks looks better without it in my opinion), and there are no tops with the car. What you see is what you see is what you get. This would make an awesome hot rod or gasser project! It's getting tough to find complete and original, early Thunderbirds like like this, and the car options make it scarce. clean missouri title on hand, if you have any question please Call 417-365-1143 tommy with any questions. Possibly interested in hot rod projects.

Shelby American cleans house of 14 concept cars

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Typically when an automaker rolls out a concept car or pre-production prototype, it does its tour and then disappears into the company's archives. Maybe it will be displayed for the public to see in the company's own museum or maybe it will spend most of its time under covers in a warehouse somewhere, but every once in a while, an automaker will open up its history and start selling off its concept cars. For Shelby American, "once in a while" has just rolled around.
The House that Carroll Built is moving from its previous headquarters at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to a new facility off of the Las Vegas strip, and in the process is liquidating fourteen of the rarest cars in its collection. That presents a tremendous opportunity for muscle car collectors to bring one or more of these snakes home.
As you might expect, the catalog is composed mostly of Mustangs, but not exclusively. There's a pair of 289 Cobras: the last of the 50th anniversary slab-sided continuation cars and an original development vehicle, offered at $200,000 apiece. At the other end of the spectrum you'll find the 2013 Shelby Raptor concept for $125k and Focus concept for $50k. And of course there are the Mustangs.

Concentrated ST Formula Proves Just As Potent
I'm not the jealous type... usually. But I will fully admit to being somewhat of a Pouty Polly when I read executive editor Chris Paukert's report after driving the then-new 2013 Ford Focus ST through the impossibly pretty southern French Alps region last June. I feel like a broken record saying this yet again, but hot hatchbacks hold a special place in my heart. And while I'm always giddy to drive any sort of small, turbocharged three- or five-door at home in Detroit, my jealousy was indeed piqued after hearing Paukert tell about the challenging yet breathtaking roads he encountered while driving the flamin' yellow Focus. You know, the sort of roads that, from above, look like carelessly drizzled lines of icing on the frosted Alpen caps.
Several months later, I found myself piloting a Focus ST just west of metro Detroit, pitting it head-to-head against one of Autoblog's perennial favorite cars, the Volkswagen GTI. It was fantastic - enough so that I fully stand behind my statement that in terms of balls-out performance, the Focus ST cannot be beat as far as today's front-wheel-drive hatches are concerned.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
