One family owned until now, 1957 T Bird. Classic "ran and drove fine when parked" as per son's description. Last ran about 9 years ago. Father passed away about then, I bought it from his widow. Car was stored in a heated garage but is never the less weathered. Very restorable though. Might be fun for some to just get it going and drive as is, the interior is not really that bad. 42,863 original miles Body has rust in quarters and rockers. Driver side rocker is toast, passenger side less so. Floors and trunk are solid with relatively nice original paint. Frame is solid. Rest of the body is pretty clean. Passenger front fender needs a bit of massaging due to a hit on the front corner, easy to straighten with a bit of talent. All shut lines on the doors, hood and trunk are good. Trim is all there, bumpers not beat up. Chrome is all weathered but not seriously rusty. Straight forward replate if wanted. Glass is good Headliner pretty nice with one about 1 inch tear. See pic Convertible frame included, original top is shot. I gave the interior a quick wipe down and vacuum. For a restored car it would never do but I could live with it in a driver. See the pics. I believe it's all original. The "turned metal" trim is still pretty nice. Gauges look good, finish all in all still not bad for being all original. Some heater components appear to be missing, core is there, and I do have some loose parts included with the car, including new tail light lenses. The old add on tach pictured is not included in this sale, a buddy of mine begged me for it. Car has a factory tach anyways. Engine was/is not stuck. I was able to nudge it by hand using the fan blade. I then pulled the plugs, shot in some oil, and cranked it over a bit. Put plugs back in, cranked it a bit. Obviously has compression, but alas no spark. I didn't want to put fuel into the possibly dirty tank anyways, and didn't make anymore effort to fire it up. The headlights work, turn lights work, heater fan works (2 speeds) and amazingly, to me at least, the radio works. Wipers are not. Car came with new tail light lenses in boxes. See pic. Brakes are not working, car rolls fine. So, there it is, the proverbial Diamond in the Rough! Personal inspection is welcome, call me, Doug 937 231 0193 Thanks for looking!

I had such a hard time getting ebay to work, it blocked putting up photos several times, I just got distracted from my intent. I do have pictures of the convertible frame, tail light lenses, and more. If wanted drop me an email and I will forward them.

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept does discreet luxury in NYC
Thu, 17 Apr 2014There's something to be said for luxed-out vans. They're cool, and as a means of getting chauffeured about, they're extremely comfortable and far more low key than your typical executive luxury sedan. For the 2014 New York Auto Show, Galpin Auto Sports has shown the potential of the new-for-the-US Ford Transit as an ultra-luxurious people hauler.
The Transit Skyliner Concept, which we previewed last week, sports four finely crafted captain's buckets that can be moved into different formations based on need. Want to watch a movie? The seats can be swung around to face a 52-inch screen. Riding along with some business associates? A table can be popped up. There's even a configuration for tailgating.
The materials are, unsurprisingly, pretty plush. The leather seats and wood floors (yes, wood floors in a van) look great, while the trunk and its customized luggage are a nice touch, as well.

Hennessey completes first VelociRaptor SUV conversion [w/video]
Mon, 20 May 2013Start with a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as your base vehicle for modification, and chances are high that you'll end up with something pretty cool. Now, have those modifications done by professional lunatics Hennessey Performance, make the project turning the pickup into an ultra-long SUV, and the result stands a real chance of being a total kick in the ass. Let us present the Hennessey VelociRaptor then, in all of its awesomeness.
Hennessey has taken care in grafting a "Expedition style" rear cabin onto the Raptor, complete with an optional third row. The pictures we have show a cabin that's up to the fit and finish standards of the original Ford truck, too. The cab added over the bed also makes room for a massive load space out back, accessible via split out-folding doors and long enough for a person to lay down in (see video).
Mechanically, the truck-turned-SUV sticks with Ford's stock 6.2-liter V8, rated at 411 horsepower, or can be had with a supercharger and some 600 hp. Hennessey says the stock-motor VelociRaptor will run from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds, while the hi-po version takes just 5.9 seconds. The SUV does take some of the off-road ability away from the Raptor, with the company saying it hasn't yet had the opportunity to test its capabilities. On-roading and "moderate off-road duties" are the current prescription.
