1957 Ford Thunderbird on 2040-cars
Karns City, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This 1957 Thunderbird was pulled into a body shop in 1969 and taken apart and paint stripped and stayed in heated garage the way you see it in the pictures. I purchased it from estate approx. a year ago with intentions of restoring it. I really don't have the time due to other projects and need the room. Everything appears to be with car except for carb and air cleaner. It is a 312 Bird with a 3 speed trans.This bird is very restorable and has the typical Thunderbird rust of this era. The dash and gauges and Town&Country Radio are in very nice condition. Appears at one time they removed transmission by cutting the hump on the floor so that will need attention. There is a hole on drivers floor and drivers side of trunk floor. Frame appears to be solid with just some scale on it. Rocker will need replaced and there is a pair of rockers for it. There is also some NOS emblems and some other small stuff. Also a new carpet. The top was down all those years behind the seat and is in great condition. I feel some cleaning and some plastic cleaner for back window top would look like new. I DO NOT HAVE THE HARDTOP. Mileage is exempt on title. All glass is with car. Buyer is responsible for shipping. Car or title will not be transferred until all funds clear.I require a $500 deposit within 24hour of auction end!!!! PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS THUNDERBIRD IF YOU DONT INTEND TO BUY IT!!!!. ASK WIFE OR WHOEVER FIRST!!! Any questions feel free to call me at 412-629-0458 Thanks and Good Luck!!!

Also the rocker assy is not on the engine but I got a call the other night from person I got it from saying they found the rockers. I hope they are the right ones. . I cannot guarentee it till i have them in possesion. Also if you are going to restore this car you will want to rebuild the engine. |

Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a lean, mean, Z/28-fighting machine [w/video]
Mon, 17 Nov 2014If there's one thing you can count on, it's that the renewed rivalry between the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro will never, ever cease. For every version of Ford's pony car, there's an equally potent Chevrolet. And so with the debut of the Camaro Z/28 earlier this year, Ford has responded with a track-focused 'Stang of its own, resurrecting the Shelby GT350 name.
It looks to be a fine piece of work, this Mustang, with power coming from a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V8 that will produce "more than 500 horsepower" and "above 400" pound-feet of torque. That grunt runs to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, and a Torsen limited-slip differential keeps everything in line.
But that's hardly the most impressive piece of the GT350 puzzle. Ford has increased the Mustang GT's chassis stiffness for duty here in the Shelby, and the coupe employs MagneRide damping which automatically adjusts based on road conditions and driver inputs. It's a first both for the Blue Oval and for the segment. And speaking of firsts, the GT350 uses a flat-plane crankshaft - something Ford has never included in a production V8 before.
Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.
