We have owned this original 56 t-bird for about 15 years. The car has not been restored but has had work done as it was needed. It is the original Z code green color with matching interior. The car is # matching and has the original 312 V-8 engine and Fordamatic transmission. The engine has had a resent tune-up, hoses , belt , etc. Since we purchased the car we added a factory replacement power brake booster. The transmission was completely rebuilt by AAMCO less than 1000 miles ago.It has new Coker wide white radial tires. The interior door panels , seat upholstery and carpet were replaced with exact reproductions several years ago and have no rips or wear. The original dash board vinyl is nice and all gauges and tack work well except the clock and radio. The car has both the port hole hardtop and cloth top which folds down behind the seat when not in use. It has original truck fabric and original jack. It also come with the original bill of lading when the car was delivered to the Frank Taylor Ford dealership on August 17th 1956 in Los Angeles California ( see picture ) . also included is most receipts over the last 30 years , previous owner info and original shop manual , sales brochure and owners manual. This is not a show car and would need new paint, chrome work done etc. to be one. The paint has been touched up in places and is coming off in other places, the bumper and tail light chrome is thin. This is a driver car and is priced like one. If you want a fun little car that is solid with No through rust , real original and always gets attention this is a nice little car. Call or e-mail with any questions, I can store the car for a little while if that helps but must be paid for in full in 7 days from end of auction. I can help with delivery on the west coast for a fee and thanks for looking...Mike 541-788-5756

Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan
Tue, 26 Nov 2013Back in September, Ford announced a non-pursuit version of its Police Interceptor Sedan, which swaps out a choice of two V6 engines for a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder. This Special Service Police Sedan will be marketed to law enforcement agencies looking to cut fuel costs and don't need the extra power.
For college campuses, detectives and the like, this new police car has now been certified with EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures represent a decrease of two mpg in city and combined ratings compared to the civilian-spec 2014 Taurus. These police cars still offer active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, although we're guessing agencies upfitting their cars with light bars and push bumpers aren't exactly concerted with aerodynamics. The true benefit of the SSP version is when it's compared against other police sedan options like the Dodge Charger, Chevy Impala, Chevy Caprice and even the V6 Police Interceptor Sedan.
Ford claims the new Police Interceptor Sedan SSP is the most fuel-efficient current option for police departments, saying that this car can save $1,720 per car over three years and almost $260,000 over the same span of time for fleets with 150 vehicles. There is an official press release posted below, and also check out the gallery of images from Ford collected from various police agencies across the US (although none show the 2.0-liter SSP model). Head on over to Ford's Police Interceptor mini-site for even more pictures of the Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility.
Ford Focus RS ready to make our hot hatch dreams real
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Ford's current hot hatch siblings the Fiesta ST and Focus ST are already two pretty great entries into the segment, but there's always a desire for a little more. Thankfully, it looks like the Blue Oval is ready to satiate that need because it's continuing to test the even more powerful Focus RS around Europe. According to our spy shooters, these shots come from near the Nürburgring.
As with previous photos, Ford engineers continue to heavily camouflage the front end of the RS prototypes, but there's a big difference here. Unlike earlier ones, this example appears to have a closer-to-production-ready front bumper rather than just a horizontal strip for the license plate. That may point to development getting somewhat closer to wrapping up. Although, this one lacks the larger rear wing from prior testers, and the exhaust also appears to be a work in progress with the rear diffuser covered in mesh in these latest shots.
The RS is rumored to be using the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Mustang, but power is reportedly turned up from 310 horsepower in the 'Stang to somewhere between 325 hp and 350 hp for the Focus. Routing all that just through the front wheels could be a recipe for serious torque steer, and all-wheel drive is potentially being used for better traction.
