Here is a beautiful, classic 1957 2-seater Ford Thunderbird with a strong running 312 cc V-8 engine, automatic transmission, air conditioning, power steering, original hubcaps and fender skirts, and two tops - a matching Colonial White hardtop with portholes, and a black cloth top. The engine was rebuilt in 1997 (with new valves, hardened valve seats, etc.), soon after I bought the car, and power brakes were added; I later upgraded the brake system further to include front disc brakes. The car was stripped to bare metal and repainted its code-correct Colonial White in 1999; I have included a few photos of the repaint process. I replaced the non-working original Thunderbird AM radio with a new Thunderbird AM/FM radio with cassette. The original code-correct black-and-white interior is clean and in great shape. New parts and improvements: fuel line, radial white-wall tires, weatherstripping, springs, voltage regulator, water pump, battery, exhaust system with resonators, expanded radiator, shocks, 6-blade fan and more! The car runs and drives fine and has always been garaged. Title is clear. The odometer reading on the title, when I bought the car in 1997, was 124095, so it has only been driven about 16,000 miles since I bought it, and a bit less since the engine work was done. I have all the bills and receipts for work done, parts purchased, etc., and will include the Thunderbird Shop Manual in the sale. I have had lots of Fun, Fun, Fun with this great car over the years, but now it is time to make room in the garage for something else.
A deposit of $750 is required within 72 hours of the end of the auction, with full payment of balance expected within 7 days of end of auction by certified check. It is the buyer's responsibility to arrange pick up and transportation of the vehicle.
Please feel free to email me with any questions prior to auction end.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost
Fri, 16 May 2014Earlier this week, Ford invited us to Charlotte, NC, to ride in an all-new 2015 Mustang fitted with its turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. It's the first forced-induction, four-cylinder ponycar for the Blue Oval since the sun set on the 1986 Mustang SVO. We jumped at the opportunity, as only a handful of people have ever been in the passenger seat of this new car, and most automotive media won't get as close as we did until this fall.
As we revealed in our Deep Dive, Ford will slot this new turbocharged four as premium powerplant between its naturally aspirated 3.7-liter V6 and the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8. At last mention, the automaker said the direct-injected, all-aluminum engine will develop 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, returning the best fuel economy of the three powerplants in the process. History buffs will note that those figures are appreciably stouter than the 200 horses and 240 lb-ft that the '86 SVO realized out of the same displacement, and the latter's figures were hugely impressive at the time. On paper, the new EcoBoost four looks to be a good fit for most owners who want to balance performance with efficiency - we were eager to see how it felt from the passenger seat.
Riding Notes
2014 Ford F-150 gets CNG option
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Ford is toiling away, installing heavy-duty engine components into select 3.7-liter V6s to allow them to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in addition to gasoline. That's nothing new, but now, Ford has announced that it will offer the 2014 F-150 with this engine configuration, bringing the Blue Oval's total number of CNG/LPG-friendly vehicles up to eight. The F-150 will be the only half-ton pickup on the market that can run on these gases.
Ford will charge $315 per vehicle to equip the optional engine, but the trucks won't be ready to run on the alternative fuels straight from the factory and must be upfitted with additional equipment. A Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier will install a separate fuel system for the compressed gases at a cost of $7,500 to $9,500, depending on fuel tank size. With the right-size tank, the F-150 equipped with the CNG/LPG-prepped engine can go 750 miles on one tank of gas, according to Ford, averaging 23 miles per gallon.
The practice of offering flex-fuel vehicles is gaining momentum as businesses take advantage of cheap gas. CNG can be bought for $2.11/gallon on average (per gasoline equivalent), and sometimes for as little as $1.00 in some parts of the US, Ford states. "With the money saved using CNG, customers could start to see payback on their investment in as little as 24 to 36 months," says Jon Coleman, Ford's fleet sustainability and technology manager. The automaker expects to sell a total of 15,000 CNG/LPG-prepped vehicles in the 2014 model year.
Riding along in Ford's bonkers Fiesta ST Global RallyCross car [w/video]
Wed, 28 Aug 2013
The Mountune-worked Fiesta ST GRC does 0-to-60 mph in 1.9 seconds.
On any given day, and every single weekend, there's at least one parking in the country invaded by manufacturer and team trucks. The be-chromed beasts and their 53-foot trailers are slotted into rows, men and women decorate the lot with orange cones to mark the invisible tracery of a temporary track, cars get unloaded, crews fret over them. The ritual can be as beautiful as the sunrise to those with enthusiast hearts, but it's just as common.
