hello! last of my project type cars.kind of a cool old do want you want with car. restore all the way or do a budget car. i bought this 56 crown as the original color combo was great sunset coral and raven black with black and white interior. plus the body, even a little battered and bruised, is pretty solid structurally for a start. the was built in california, made its way to florida and ended up in new jersey. it seemed that it was going to be or was a drag car, dont know if it ever made many trips. the frame had some modifications and the crossmember was bad,so i lifted the body off and rolled a mint cleaned and painted arizona frame under it. i cut the areas of the old frame with the matching serial numbers from the 56. they go with car to show it was a legitment frame change. it has an excelent running 272 with a 57 distributor, intake and 2bbl carb. it has a good 3 speed stick,shifts great. it has a freshly cleaned and tested radiator, a new gas tank and lines, new wheel cylinders and excellent working emergency brake.it yard drives great with very good braking. it is not charging correctly but lasts quite a while disconnecting the battery. i start it regularly and has no valve noise and runs strong. it was missing many parts that i knew i had to improve the car, specifically the crown parts. it has the correct 56 front seat backs with trim, sunvisor brackets, window flippers, and very nice inside tiara pieces.the original front and rear door panels with armrests and trim are still in very nice shape. i dont want to make it seem like its ready to go down the road, just that there is a very good basis on the mechanics. as with most cars the work will be at the body. what is really good is all the body mounts are extremely solid, including the long trunk rail.the trunk floor is very decent. there are a few extra holes where a fuel cell was mounted. the rear trunk panel was very rusted. i trimmed it out, removed one from another car and have fitted in but not welded in. it needs some repair underneath but the outer skin is very nice. it will need lower inner and outer quarters on both sides. it has damage below the trim line on the left side. both side wheel wells a pretty decent. the left side rocker has rust at the lead joint seam that needs work. the left rocker is going underneath but the tops and face are fairly solid. inner rockers are very savable. the right side rocker is very solid. the cowl mounts arte very good. the left front floor is very savable. i had some old style floor pans for the right front and left rear,need welded in. it will need the full floor pan for the right rear.the need some rust outer rust repair but have very solid bottoms and seams.there is damage on the left side door and fender where the were jammed together at some point. the fenders are very solid, with minor typical rust at bottoms. very decent inner fenders, air tubes and panels behind headlights.there is some rust out in the roof at the back behind the mouldings,about 8 inches each side. it is an easy repair that will be hidden by the moulding. the gutters are not really affected. the chrome and stainless is all fair to good. the glass should be replaced all the way around. the car is at the point where you need to make a decision on what level of a car you want. i have most bof the body bolts back in the car but it would be easier to pull it back off and do the sheetmetal repairs and body work it needs. there are very few loose pieces as i have most parts at least rough attached. as they say think the worst ad be happy when its not. the pictures should give a good idea and i have more and will take more of your concerns.just ask. i dont use phrases like, it looks ok, or, seems to be. if you ask, i will tell you. it is priced very fairly as i have 2 crowns painted and ready to put together. i do have storage for the car for 30 days but the car absolutely must be paid for in full within 7 days and deposit in 24 hours or i will move right along. overseas buyers fine, i will work with you. 0 and negatives contact me first. but it now maybe but not after 48 hours into auction and will be more than the reserve. thanks!

Gooding to auction 2016 Shelby GT350 to benefit vets
Tue, Aug 4 2015Gooding & Company will be auctioning off a brand-new 2016 Ford Shelby GT350 on August 15 at Pebble Beach. The chance to own Dearborn's new flagship muscle car is surely enough all on its own to garner some serious bids. Combine that desirability with a hefty dose of star power and the desire to support a good cause and we're sure this particular pony car will be boosted even further. The GT350 is being sold to support the Military Service Initiative at the George W. Bush Institute, a program that seeks to support post-9/11 military veterans and their families as they transition into civilian life. The car's dashboard has been signed by the former president, and will be auctioned off by none other than Jay Leno – who in addition to being an unsurpassed showman and car nut is also known as a passionate supporter of American servicemen. Gooding expects the super-Stang to fetch between $75,000 and $100,000 for the cause – or roughly twice the car's $47,870 MSRP. The 2016 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang debuted late last year at the LA Auto Show. It packs a new 5.2-liter V8 with a flat-plane crank, kicking out 526 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque. That makes it the most powerful naturally aspirated engine Ford has ever made. "This is one of the most exotic engines ever produced by a major American manufacturer plus the fact that it's going into the most American of cars," said Jay Leno. "I am proud to help auction this car off where the proceeds will go to helping our veterans." Related Video: 2016 Ford Shelby GT350 to be Auctioned to Benefit the George W. Bush Institute's Military Service Initiative at Gooding & Company's Pebble Beach Auctions Jay Leno to present the Ford Shelby GT350 as it crosses the block on Saturday, August 15 SANTA MONICA, Calif. (August 3, 2015) – Gooding & Company, the official auction house of The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance®, is thrilled to offer for sale a 2016 Ford Shelby GT350. The sale of this Shelby will benefit the George W. Bush Institute's Military Service Initiative, a charity that honors the service and sacrifice of post-9/11 veterans and military families by bridging the civilian-military divide and fostering a successful transition and reintegration from military service to civilian life. The 2016 Ford Shelby GT350 is the first vehicle to implement Ford's new race-derived flat-plane crank 5.2-liter V-8, the most powerful naturally-aspirated engine ever to grace a Ford.
Chinese market Ford Taurus will be unveiled at Shanghai Motor Show
Fri, Apr 10 2015A new Ford Taurus is on the way, at least for some markets. As part of a huge unveiling of seven models for the Asia Pacific market at the Shanghai Motor Show, Ford is announcing the debut of the company's next-gen large sedan on April 18 just before the event in China begins. Unfortunately, the Taurus that we see in Shanghai might not signal too much about the future version in the US. Ford spokesperson Monique Brentley tells Autoblog that this debut is specifically for the Chinese market, and the Blue Oval isn't saying whether any of this updated look will come across the Pacific. We got a tiny preview of the new Taurus earlier this year when one was spotted wearing heavy camouflage while testing in China. That one retained the sedan's hexagonal grille but added more horizontal chrome slats. It also featured reshaped headlights and a broad, lower air dam. Previous reports have indicated the next-gen model might be built around a stretched and widened version of the Fusion platform, and a major goal during development was shedding as many pounds as possible. With little time before the official unveiling, it won't be long until we'll know much of this for sure.

Ford's new flagship sedan for China will take the stage at the auto show, along with six other new vehicles making their debuts in Asia Pacific. "We are looking forward to taking the wraps off seven new vehicles for our customers in China and continuing our delivery of great products and innovative technologies," said John Lawler, chairman and CEO, Ford China.
Ford cranks up '32 Ford body production
Tue, 14 Jan 2014If you're going to build your own hot rod, you'll want to start with a '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe. Favored by American servicemen returning from World War II, the '32 Ford remains the very icon of the hot rod to this day. The trouble is there were only so many of them made in the first place, and finding one today can be a challenge. That's where reproduction models come in.
The aftermarket is replete with companies that will sell you a fiberglass body in the form of a '32 Ford coupe, but quality can be hit or miss. So to help meet demand among hot rod builders and enthusiasts, Ford has teamed up with United Pacific Industries to offer officially licensed body shells.
Announced at the SEMA show in November, the '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe body is made from stamped steel according to original specifications from original machinery where possible or reproduced machinery built to the same original specifications where necessary. The bodies are ready to accept vintage powertrains or crate motors from the Ford Racing catalog, and join the 9,000 other parts offered in the Ford Component Sales catalog - including similar reproduction bodies available for the 1965-70 Mustang and 1940 Ford Coupe. From there, the proverbial sky's the limit.
