You are bidding on a 1957 Ford E-Series Thunderbird.  Original owner bought the car Jan 2 1957 in Haverford, PA - a suburb of Philadelphia.  He owned it until the second owner, who purchased the car in December of 1969.  I am the third owner, and I bought the car October 31st 1984.  At inception of the first title in PA in 1957 to the current title, copies of each title are in hand showing authenticity of the E series VIN number.  First owner had several cars, this was never daily transportation.  The second owner drove the car the least.  I rarely ever took the car out because I prefer large cars, like the Continental pictured in front of this T-Bird.  


About the Car:
The transmission was removed late 60's early 70's and rebuilt according to T-Bird Products, Exton PA - the paperwork from a Ford dealership says they did rings and valve work.  No signs of accidents, rust free car except one tiny piece under the passenger quarter panel at the rear bumper.  There is a slight dent on the hood.  Both are pictured.  The car was not built with skirts or backup lights.  One tail light has a broken lens.  Jim Weatherly (California) rebuilt the carburetors and the distributor after a gas leak (pictured).  Burnt wires at engine coil, but the car still ran and drove home.  The car has not been out in 20-22 years.  The convertible top on the T-Bird is the original convertible top frame.  The convertible top material is white and is in fair condition.  In the mid-80's T-Bird Products, Exton PA replaced the seat casings, the carpet, and the drop curtain.  Under my ownership the car has been driven to NYC and the Pocono Mountains with no issues.   The hubcaps pictured do not go with this car, they are borrowed from the '66 behind it. 

I have a dyslexic computer, PLEASE  no emails - If you have questions regarding the car, call Lee at 856 729 2439.  This is an UNMOLESTED CAR.  Honestly, the reason it hasn't moved is because I parked the 59 Continental Convertible in front of it and lost interest in the T-Bird.  Title will not be released until the car is properly paid for.  Thanks for your interest in my auction and happy bidding!

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.

2014 Ford F-150 gets CNG option

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

Ford 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.

Ford builds Lightweight Concept with Fusion shell [w/video]

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

It's a fairly well known fact that removing weight from a car is essentially a panacea for many of the modern automobiles problems. Does it handle like crap? Remove weight. Underpowered? Don't add power; trim the fat. Need to improve fuel economy? It's diet time.
Actually executing a major weight reduction program, though, much like with human beings, is no easy task. Unlike you or I, where motivation is the issue, the prohibitive measure in trimming a car's waistline is money. Lightweight materials are expensive, with carbon fiber and carbon-fiber reinforced plastic still primarily in the domain of higher end vehicles. Even aluminum construction, pioneered on a mass-produced level by Audi and Jaguar, is only now starting to make its way into the mainstream, thanks to the upcoming Ford F-150.
With this concept, though, Ford is attempting to show that a mass-produced, lightweight vehicle isn't too far off. This is the Lightweight Concept, and while it may look like a Fusion, it weighs as much as a Fiesta. For reference, the lightest Fusion available to the public is the 3,323-pound, 2.5-liter model with a manual transmission. A manually equipped, 1.6-liter Fiesta, meanwhile, is just 2,537 pounds.
