Car History
Early in 2004 a Quality Assurance Engineer from North American Aircraft Corporation decided to do a full body-off
restoration on his 1957 Thunderbird.
He proceeded to completely disassemble the vehicle including; removing the engine, transmission, undercarriage
components suspension / steering components and separated the body from the chassis.
The chassis and all undercarriage components were powder coated gloss black. This powder coating included: frame,
suspension components, steering components, brake components and rear axel housing.
After frame was coated, new brakes, brake lines, gas tank and fuel lines were added. The engine and transmission
were professionally rebuilt and assembled into the chassis. The rolling chassis was topped off with four new
chrome Kelsey Hayes type 14 inch spoked rims and new Cooker radial whitewall tires.
The body was sent out for a rotisserie Starmist Blue paint job. After painting, body and chassis were mated at his
workshop. It was later sent out to Prestige Thunderbird, Santa Fe Springs, CA, for a complete new interior, seat
upholstery, dashboard, all panels and a new white top, headliner, glass and associated hardware.
Once back in his garage he proceeded to finish the rest of the restoration process. Unfortunately, The Engineer
fell ill in 2009 and passed away early 2010 without completing his project. The car was covered and in his garage,
where it remained for the next nine years.
Needless to say when I purchased the car in March of 2017, it was not running and many items had frozen over time.
The car had been run at some point during the restoration, as the odometer indicated five miles had been put on the
car. Odometer currently at 110 miles.

Shelby GT500 laps N"urburgring in under 7:40?

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

A couple of weeks ago we brought you footage and official times of the new Chevy Camaro Z/28 lapping the Nürburgring. With a 7:37.47 lap time, the Z/28 emerged as the fastest muscle car ever to lap the circuit. But what was missing from that picture was how fast the king of all Mustangs, the Shelby GT500, could manage to lap the Nordschleife.
Ford never released any information or footage of the GT500 on the Nürburgring that we were aware of - that is, until the guys at SVTPerformance.com put in a request for Mustang videos. Among the clips they received was never-seen, in-car footage of the Shelby GT500 lapping the circuit. And boy did it hustle.
Although not quite official, the video seems to show the GT500 lapped the venerated German track in a touch under 7:40. That would make it a tick or two faster than the Camaro ZL1 - but what of the Z/28? By Chevy's quoted time, the Z/28 is still faster than the GT500, but SVTPerformance suggests GM may have fudged the numbers a bit and scrubbed half a second or so off their lap time.

Ford and Mercedes join Renault in French emissions investigation

Thu, Jan 21 2016

The French government is investigating certain models from Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault because they allegedly produce more nitrogen oxide than the country's pollution rules allow, according to Automotive News, citing a French newspaper. After VW's emissions scandal, French regulators began checking more vehicles for evidence of defeat devices and excessive real-world pollution. According to Automotive News, the Mercedes S350 allegedly showed inconsistent results across these tests, and a Ford C-Max had NOx levels five times over the limit. The Renault Captur crossover, Espace, and an unnamed utility vehicle also had results that were too high. The French testing for this investigation includes an on-road emissions check that's not part of the EU's normal evaluations, which some automakers claim is unfair. "Unofficial on-road testing has varying conditions and can produce significantly different results," a Ford of Europe spokesman told Automotive News. Renault representatives met with French officials on January 18 to explain the situation. The company later submitted a plan to recall 15,800 examples of the diesel Captur, and said it would offer a voluntary software upgrade for about 700,000 other vehicles, according to Automotive News. Representatives from Ford and Mercedes will meet with the government soon, too. Renault's stock price plunged last week after investors heard that French regulators searched three of the automaker's sites as part of the emissions investigation. The stockholders feared an environmental scandal like the one currently embroiling Volkswagen. There's one major difference – as of now, there's no evidence Renault equipped any of the polluting models with defeat devices. Related Video:

According to an ACSI press release, customer satisfaction with new automobiles has fallen 3.7 percent, to 79 on its 100-point scale. The ACSI report is based on over 4,100 customer surveys collected in the second quarter of 2015 Sitting at the top of the industry in customer satisfaction is Toyota's Lexus brand with a score of 84. Which was good enough to dethrone Mercedes-Benz, which fell 3% to a score of 83. Of the Big Three, Ford was the only domestic automaker to maintain overall customer satisfaction with its score of 81. General Motors slipped 3% to 79 and Fiat Chrysler had a 5% drop, registering a score of 75 out the possible 100. What's driving this trend of customer dissatisfaction?
