This is one out 1,363 of the rarest Ford Thunderbird manufactured in 1957 the E-code , they came with 312 Y-block
with dual Holley teapot carburetors. This vehicle began as a full restoration project 3 years ago, there has been a
lot of hours and funds invested into this build . This build did not begin as a concord build and was not planned
to be one . It has been a journey just getting this bird to this point in which finishing the body it is ready to
go on a rotisserie to complete it properly and then assembly in which we have interior door cards and panels also
the seat cover and various parts in which i'll attempt to add all in the pics. We do have the soft top roof also
and hard top as in pictures. I will be updating the info or answer any questions about this vehicle as possible for
those whom have interest.
Thanks for looking
Upate;
The engine is a fresh full rebuild and has never been started both carbs were just overhauled and all parts
anodized . The transmission and torque converter have been rebuilt . Engine and trans were done by highly reputable
technicians and if needed you could discuss the overhaul and rebuilds with them. At this time the chassis is
separated from the body still if needed i will mate them for transporting. The frame has be replaced with a frame
direct from a 1957 T-Bird from Marvin Hills Thunderbird specialist out of Ohio. The original frame had been
modified and X was cut in which weakened the strength of it's structure to the point of loss of safety to being
road worthy so we replaced if something or a part we had doubt about it was replaced.
Thanks again.
Upate of info:
Would like to describe the body, it's pretty solid, it needs drivers side floor pan and rocker and passenger rocker
only a little repair around rear wheel wells. I'm trying to set up a link for added pictures. Will have it ready
shortly.

Ken Block's 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR and CR Supercars Villain are retro done right
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Gymkhana king Ken Block has had a pretty simple car history in his trademark videos, starting out with Subaru Impreza rally cars before moving into Ford Focus racers for the past four installments. His next video, though, Gymkhana Seven, kind of goes back in time.
Rather than the cutting-edge rally racers of past videos, Block will pilot a heavily modified 1965 Ford Mustang, called the Hoonicorn. How heavily modified is it? Well, Block's Hooligan Racing Division, ASD Motorsports and Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s RTR, spent two years working on it, ditching the standard engine and rear-wheel-drive layout and replacing it with a 410-cubic-inch Roush Yates V8. Yes, that's a NASCAR engine, and it produces 845 horsepower.
A NASCAR-powered Mustang would be news in itself, but it's the other powertrain changes made by Block and Co. that really makes headlines. Power is channeled through a one-off Sadev transmission and all-wheel-drive system, meaning that Block has basically married a NASCAR stock car with a WRC racer. ASD also developed the customized suspension, tubular chassis and roll cage. The wide Mustang body is the work of RTR and Block's own Hoonigan Racing Division, while the 18-inch fifteen52 wheels are shod in Pirelli Trofeo R tires that use a specialized compound exclusive to Block.
Tanner Foust gets eponymous hotted-up Ford Focus ST from Cobb Tuning
Thu, 14 Mar 2013Racer and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust has partnered up with Cobb Tuning to create a special-edition Ford Focus ST. The limited-edition hatches will come packing a reflashed ECU, special intercooler, tweaked intake and freer-flowing exhaust for up to 20 percent more power than the stock creation. Cobb says that the changes should push the final dyno figure to above 300 horsepower. Buyers can also expect to find special carbon fiber aerodynamic bits on board along with a new grille, graphics and wheels. Cobb hasn't released pricing on this Tanner Foust Edition Ford Focus ST as of yet, but you can bet the whole kit won't be cheap.
Fortunately, the company will sell you bits and pieces from the overall package for your Ford, and word has it engineers are also whipping up a Foust Fiesta ST. Look for Cobb's Focus ST website to go live next month, complete with accurate specs and pricing. Until then, enjoy clicking through the gallery here.

Ladies Love It: Ford Fiesta wins Womens World Car of the Year
Thu, 25 Jul 2013It's official: A panel of female automotive writers has chosen the Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost as the Womens World Car of the Year, and it beat tough competition like the Mazda CX-5, Range Rover and Porsche Boxster S for the overall top spot.

That includes safety, value-for-money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child-friendliness, ease-of-driving, color, sex appeal and environmental footprint.
