Looking for an original 1955 Ford that hasn't been altered in anyway and been in the same family since late 1954? Up for sale is a 1955 Ford Town Sedan ----All Original Survivor ----black and white with green inside---Never repainted factory original!!!!!--First, the car is NOT running, and has been in storage INSIDE since 1979. 6 months ago it was moved to my drive-way, and it sits today. The car has the original paint, interior, chrome and stainless still on the car--- it's ALL THERE. One emblem on the trunk is bent (Ford-o-matic) but could be fixed if new one can't be found. The original hub caps are included (tires are going flat), no cracked or missing glass, original tube AM radio, and a dash that's in truly amazing shape for its age. The body is in strong shape, with some damage in the rocker panel under the doors on the driver's side----this is NOT a rust bucket and I have not seen any rust on the car popping up---always been a So-Cal auto since DAY 1 in the Los Angeles area---has 1963 black plates. Has ONLY 89,900 original miles!!!

Power plant is a 272 Y-Block V8 that was rebuilt in the mid 1960's by my grandmother and hasn't been messed with since. I believe this is the 182 hp 4bbl version, but will need to confirm. This 1955 Ford is an automatic (Ford-O-Matic) trans, and is a 6 volt auto---it could be switched over to 12 volt easily during restoration.

This is a restoration project car---but all the bones are here to make this a sweet looking original----could be on the road with about $2000 (tran rebuilt, tires, tail pipe)--hate to sell this, but I just don't have the time to put into this car----looking to sell it to a good home----If you're looking for a classic 50's car that's never been messed with for a great price, this 1955 Ford Fairlane Town Sedan is for you.

UPDATE:

The car's interior is original, but is not in great shape --it's torn in sections---been like that since the mid 1970's. There is a set of green seat covers that was placed on the car sometime in the late 1960's, and they have been on since then. Some of the cloth molding is worn and the drives door panel has torn in the cloth section. As I said, it's all original and never altered---so the car can return back to day one stock (since nothing has been removed) or custom the car out.

The paint does have chips, scratches all over the car, but this was a daily driver up until 1979 when it went into storage---the car seen about 25 years or wear and then stored. As for rust---I've been getting questions about that---looking around the car, I'm seeing no rust popping up on the body. The car was stored inside for 33 years, so it wasn't sitting out in the elements.

The door locks, truck and ignition keys will need to be replace.

Shelby GT350 stars in 2015 Monterey Motorsports Reunion

Sun, Aug 16 2015

Scoping out classic racing machinery sitting at Monterey Car Week is a lovely experience. We're always stoked to see some of these priceless pieces of metal wherever we can, up close and personal. But we all know that where they really belong is on the racetrack. That's where the Monterey Motorsports Reunion comes in, and this year's event was a thrilling spectacle. Sponsored as always by Rolex and held at the legendary Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, this year's reunion brought together a wide array of tantalizing machinery from the annals of racing history. There were Can-Am racers – some of the fastest and most powerful competition equipment ever devised Â– of every color, and more racing Porsches than you could shake a titanium connecting rod at. But the biggest part of the spectacle was the Shelby GT350. That most venerable of classic Mustangs served as the featured marque this year as it celebrated its 50th anniversary. Auspicious timing, considering that Ford has now brought it back. But fans of the original will want to check out the dozens of snake-bitten pony cars doing their thing on one of America's finest racing circuits. Check out the GT350s, captured through the lens of our own master shutterbug, Drew Phillips, in the gallery above, and the full array of reunited vintage racers in the second gallery below the video.

Ford Mustang GT500 successor spied near SVT

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Details about the next-gen Ford Mustang are scarce, and there's even less information out there about the upcoming replacement for the Shelby GT500. Previously rumored to drop the Shelby name and wear the GT350 moniker, the highest-performance Mustang has just been spotted testing near Ford's SVT operations.
Despite being cloaked in heavy camouflage, we can instantly tell this prototype is different from other Mustang spy shots we've seen in the past. Aside from the Shelby-spec wheels, quad exhaust outlets (previous spy shots show only two) and beefier brakes, this car also has air intakes on the hood and front fenders. These elements help to neither prove nor dismiss rumors that the next SVT Mustang will be naturally aspirated. It also looks like Ford is may be planning some changes to this car's rear suspension, as there is some extra camouflage added beneath the rear end of this prototype.
As a bonus, these spy shots also give us our first look inside the new Mustang, revealing a new steering wheel (with more buttons) and a glimpse of the dual-pod instrument gauges. Check out past spy shots of the 2015 Mustang showing off its new face and driving around town.

Mulally will stay close to Ford after he steps down, plans to advise Fields [w/video]

Fri, 27 Jun 2014

Ford CEO Alan Mulally has less than a week left in his role of leading the Blue Oval before he hands off duties to Mark Fields on July 1. It doesn't look like Mulally is going to be shuffling off into his retirement anytime soon, though. The 68-year-old is being rather secretive about his next move, but he tells Bloomberg in a recent interview that he plans to stay close to Ford. Also, if Fields wants to ask for any advice, Mulally is happy to help.
Mulally took over at Ford in 2006 and led the company through a seriously rough patch in the auto industry. According to Bloomberg, he became famous or his Thursday meetings where executives were forced to deal with any problems before they could leave. Since announcing his retirement from Ford in May, Mulally has been insuring a smooth transition of power by traveling the world to all of company's major locations and saying goodbye to employees and dealers.
In terms of the future at Ford, Mulally doesn't predict any big changes in management style because the rest of the executive team is staying in place. He believes that Fields is going to maintain the processes already in place to keep things going. After all, it seems to be working. The company is predicting a return to profitability in Europe next year and is opening 88 new dealers in China. If the business could get its recalls under control, things could get even better.
