1957 Thunderbird on 2040-cars
Lafayette, Louisiana, United States
|
1957 Thunderbird Convertible I have a collection of 1955-57 Baby Birds & parts. This 1957 Baby Bird is the rarest and most expensive of the group. It runs and stops. This Baby Bird can be driven as is or restoration project. This car is very solid and will need lower quarters replaced if restoring. Details of ownership follows: 1957 Ford Thunderbird time Capsule. This unique Thunderbird was ordered by Dick Cranston senior, a dealership in New Jersey for his son Dick Cranston Junior. The car has been parked in a wharehouse for 40 years but has an interesting history. At the time Dick Cranston Junior was 21 years old and received this car as a gift from his dad. Although it was a D code car with a three speed transmission that wasn't quite enough for the young 21 year old. At the time Ford was offering NASCAR packages that could be installed by the dealer. So Dick asked his dad if he would have the guys in the shop trick out his new 57 Thunderbird with some fast goodies. So the car received the dual Quad package that was offered on the E code cars of that time. As well as a brand new four speed pulled off the shelf in the parts room, a set of headers and some Mickey Thompson magnesium wheels. All of this information has been documented and Dick Cranston Junior is still around to verify any other information about the car. This car has been untouched since parked in that warehouse in 1967. It is an awesome example of how these cars were transformed by the dealerships and in many cases sold to the general public. It still sports the original dealership emblem, original interior and even the gigantic sun tachometer screwed right through the flawless dash pad. This car would be a great candidate for full restoration or left as it is to be a reminder of a bygone era. Serious Inquiries only contact Hugh 337 344 9731 |

2014 Ford Fiesta ST priced from $21,400* [w/poll]
Tue, 26 Feb 2013The 2014 model year brings a whole host of changes to Ford's Fiesta B-Segment fighter, the most important of which (to our enthusiast eyes, anyway) is the addition of a potent new ST model. The US-spec hot hatch was first shown at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show last November, and thanks to Ford's build-and-price site, we've now learned that the Fiesta ST will slide in at $21,400 when it goes on sale later this year (*not including $795 for destination).
Under the hood of the ST is a turbocharged 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline-four good for 197 horsepower and 214 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed manual transmission. Ford hasn't released performance data on its pint-sized puncher just yet, but know that these numbers make the Fiesta ST ever-so-slightly more powerful than the larger Volkswagen GTI while returning an estimated 34 miles per gallon on the highway.
Elsewhere in the lineup, the standard Fiesta also gets a smattering of improvements for the 2014 model year, including a new 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine and revised exterior styling. Pricing for the 2014 Fiesta sedan starts at $14,000, with the five-door model adding $600 to that number (again excluding the $795 destination fee).
Europe's most-wanted classic car is... the Ford Mustang?
Sat, 28 Sep 2013Over the span of its 49 years and five generations, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts in the US, but, as it turns out, this car is also very popular amongst European car lovers. Earlier this summer, AutoScout24 - a new and used car shopping site in Europe - polled around 75,000 European "car lovers" (not sure how they vetted the respondents) to see which cars were the most popular, and the Mustang came out on top over iconic European classics like the BMW M1 and Volkswagen Beetle.
In the whole of Europe, 37 percent of those polled dream of owning a Mustang, but that number jumps in individual countries like Austria (42 percent) and Spain (41 percent). Rounding out the top five popular classics in Europe are the Mini and Citroën 2CV. Find out which cars made up the rest of the top 10 in the press release posted below.
Ford GT to be revived, Le Mans battle upcoming
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Ford dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 to 1969, scoring four consecutive wins. Wouldn't it be great if the Blue Oval could go back to France for the 50th anniversary of that performance and show it can still compete in international endurance racing? Actually, the latest rumors indicate that could be exactly the case, and the car taking that checkered flag could be another revival of the Ford GT.
As the rumblings go, Ford wants to use a new supercar to take another crack at Le Mans, after considering some other possible alternatives. Substantiating these musings are reports that a Blue Oval rep was reportedly on hand for a recent meeting about 2016 GTE-Class rules, according to Road and Track. That would put the new GT in the same racing class as the Corvette, Ferrari 458 Italia, Porsche 911 and others.
It's not all about racing, though. If you win on Sunday, you want something to be able to sell on Monday. The revived GT is reportedly still a mid-engine supercar, but the exact engine is unclear. It's possible that it could even be shown or announced at the Detroit auto show in January, according to Motor Trend.
