THIS 1957 T-BIRD IS BY FAR THE BEST EXAMPLE OF ANY IN IT'S CLASS. IT RETAINS ALL IT'S ORIGINAL BODY PANELS AND WAS VIRTUALLY "RUST FREE" AND "DENT OR ACCIDENT FREE". IT WAS ALWAYS GARAGED AND WAS UNDERCOATED WHICH I'M SURE WAS THE REASON FOR IT'S CONDITION. UNFORTUNATELY THE PAINT COULD NOT BE SALVAGED DUE TO THE "GARAGE" SCRATCHES" IT INCURRED WHILE IN IT'S HIBERNATION. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF MILAGE AND OWNERSHIP FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND A COMPLETE CATALOG OF ANY PARTS PURCHASED AS WELL AS PHOTOS OF THE REPAINT IN DETAIL. 

THE DRIVE TRAIN AND  UNDER HOOD WERE NOT TOUCHED OTHER THAN DRAIN AND CHANGE FLUIDS. UNDER THE HOOD WAS WIPED CLEAN AND ALL THE FACTORY STAMPS ARE STILL ON THE FIREWALL AS WELL AS UNDER THE DASH AREA. IT HAD A NEW CONVERTIBLE TOP INSTALLED, BUT THE HARDTOP AND HEADLINER ARE ORIGINAL AS WELL AS THE FULL TONNEAU COVER FOR THE COCKPIT. 
ANY PARTS THAT WERE CHANGED, I HAVE BOXED TO GO WITH THE NEW OWNER, INCLUDING ALL DOCUMENTATION AND TONS OF PHOTOS. THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THIS CAR IS ALSO IMPECCABLE. IT STILL HAS IT'S BIAS PLY WHITE WALLS SO IF YOU INTEND TO DRIVE THE CAR I WOULD RECOMMEND PUTTING ON SOME RADIALS.
THE CAR RUNS, DRIVES AND SHIFTS EXCELLENT. EVERYTHING ON AND IN THE CAR WORKS AS IT SHOULD. I HAVE ONLY PUT ON APPROXIMATELY 1K MILES SINCE FINISHING THE CAR.
THE CAR WAS ENTERED IN THE DETROIT AUTORAMA AND TOOK 3RD PLACE IN IT'S CLASS (ONLY TO BE OUTDONE BY TWO BIG BLOCK CORVETTES). THAT TROPHY WILL ALSO GO WITH THE CAR.
SHIPPING FOR THE CAR IS ON THE BUYER, UNLESS YOUR IN 150 MILE RANGE AND I CAN TRANSPORT IT IN MY ENCLOSED TRAILER FOR A FUEL FEE.
PAYMENT FOR THE CAR IS CASH, CERTIFIED CHECK OR RECOGNIZED BANK TRANSFER. THE CAR WILL NOT LEAVE UNTIL FUNDS CLEAR MY BANK.
I COULD GO ON AND ON BUT IF YOU'D LIKE MORE INFO YOU CAN CALL ME (ROGER) EVENINGS (DST) FROM 6PM-9PM @ 586-421-0390. LEAVE A MESSAGE IF THERES NO ANSWER, I WILL CALL BACK. MORE PHOTOS UPON REQUEST.

Shelby GT350 Mustang limited to 137 units for 2015 model year

Tue, Apr 28 2015

Interest in the 2015 Ford Shelby GT350 and GT350R Mustangs is already at a fever pitch, thanks performance goodies like a flat-plane-crank V8 and MagneRide dampers. Ford is ensuring demand stays stratospheric through at least the first half of the year, too, by keeping production of these muscular coupes very limited. In fact, just 137 of them in total are leaving the factory for the 2015 model year. As a way to commemorate the Shelby Mustang's 50th anniversary as a performance powerhouse, Ford is building just 37 examples of the 2015 GT350R. This is also a way to pay homage to Carroll Shelby. In 1965, the racing genius originally planned to build 35 GT350 production models, plus two prototypes. However, documents indicate only 34 of the ones meant for customers ever left the workshop. Now, he has gotten his wish. There are also 100 examples of the standard 2015 GT350 on the way. Of those, 50 get the Technology Package that includes things like MagneRide, a navigation system with Sync 3, and dual-zone climate control. The other 50 get the Track Package that has added cooling for the engine, transmission and differential, a strut tower brace, and the high-tech, magnetic dampers. Bear in mind, this limited output is only for the 2015 model year, not the calendar year. For the automotive world, 2016 should start in just a few months and allow for even more Shelby Mustangs to hit the streets.

The original Shelby GT350, introduced in 1965, established Mustang's performance credentials on racetracks around the world. The all-new Shelby GT350, featuring the most powerful naturally aspirated Ford production engine ever, re-establishes Mustang as a world-class sports car. Only 100 Shelby GT350 models will feature a 2015 model year designation before production switches over to 2016. Of these, 50 will be equipped with the Technology Package and 50 equipped with the Track Package.

NHTSA advances investigation of Ford Crown Victoria headlights

Sat, Aug 15 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into reports of suddenly failing headlights on 517,945 examples of the 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis. The government started looking into this problem in April when the North Carolina Consumers Council filed a defect petition with the agency. Now, the inquiry has moved to the next step. According to NHTSA's documentation (as a PDF), it examined its own database and worked with Ford to come up with a total of 3,609 complaints of the front lighting control module suddenly failing. When this happens, drivers lose the low-beam headlights, but the high-beams can be used by holding the stalk. Sometimes turning the switch off and on fixes the issue. Additionally, there are 15 allegations of crashes, and one reported shoulder injury. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations "evaluate the scope, frequency, and consequence of the alleged defect" and don't necessarily lead to a recall. NHTSA looked into this problem once before in 2008 and 2009 and decided that a recall wasn't necessary. Ford also extended the warranty on the front lighting control module for these vehicles. INVESTIGATION Subject : Loss of headlights Date Investigation Opened: AUG 10, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15028 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD CROWN VICTORIA 2003-2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS 2003-2005 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: After receiving a defect petition (DP15002) concerning the loss of headlights and other exterior lighting in model year (MY) 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) complaints received from consumers and identified a total of 605 reports (for all submission dates) alleging headlight failure. The complaints indicate failures of both low beam headlights typically while driving, a defect condition that was evaluated under a prior ODI investigation (PE08066). Most consumer VOQs indicate that the headlights failed suddenly and without warning leaving the driver with no forward lighting, however some report the headlights flickered or dimmed prior to turning off. In some cases drivers were able to turn the headlights back on after a period of time while others reported the headlights would not come back on at all.

Next Shelby Mustang to wear GT350 nameplate

Fri, 21 Jun 2013

Earlier this month, rumors started to swirl 'round the web about the next-generation Ford SVT Mustang - the halo version of the all-new 2015 'Stang seen testing in the gallery above. Originally, we heard that the Shelby GT500 moniker would be dumped in favor of "a name you're familiar with," which some sources guessed could mean a return of the Cobra nameplate.
That might not be correct. According to Road & Track, citing a report from Mustangs Daily, the new range-topping Mustang will bring back the Shelby GT350 name - currently used on an aftermarket version of Ford's Pony produced by Shelby American (take a look at our recent Quick Spin of that car). Expect the new GT350 to be quite a bit different than the current GT500 - it will be all motor, using a V8 that's derived from the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Coyote engine (though it will no doubt have a higher displacement). The GT350 will be a lot more powerful than the next Mustang GT, which is expected to offer something like 450 horsepower, but won't be quite as absurd as the 662-horsepower GT500 we currently enjoy.
The Shelby GT350 will reportedly bow with the rest of the new Mustang range at the 2014 New York Auto Show, which coincides exactly with the original Mustang's debut at the New York World's Fair in 1964. If that seems far out, don't worry, we'll be seeing the rest of the 2015 Mustang range before then, but Road & Track reports that the 2014 Detroit Auto Show stage will be reserved for the reveal of the next Ford F-150 pickup.
