Up for auction is a beautiful 1955 Ford Thunderbird Roadster convertible in astonishing restored condition. I am representing this car for the owner that is not the most astute on the computer who also travels a lot so to the best of my knowledge and that I have been briefed on will be detailed as precisely as can be. I have examined the car and driven it as well.
The car is actual color GOLDEN ROD YELLOW with coordinating interior in as new condition. The dash board condition, drop panel behind the seats, door panels, and carpeting are excellent condition. As you can see, there is a beautiful original HARDTOP that comes with the car in beautiful black that offsets the GoldenRod Yellow ideally. There is the hardtop only, no soft top.
All of the mechanical have been done from the new battery to the brakes. There are pictures of the underside that shows the frame and panels as original in excellent condition. Try to find a more solid 1955 would be a real choir and to restore one to this standard with new sheet metal very expensive. Look closely at the multitude of pictures and realize that to find a rare GoldenRod Yellow Thunderbird of this originality and quality would be difficult at best. This car has the typical Ford neutral safety switch tempermental problem where it has to be started in the neutral position. Everything works as designed and is ready for show and go, just winning trophies. Bid with confidence as it is truly a nice, very originally solid car, has a very desirable color combo, and drives well.

NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.
Project Ugly Horse: Part VIII
Fri, 17 May 2013Now With More EcoBoost
There's an EcoBoost 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in there somewhere, and it's headed straight for Ugly Horse.
For the second time in my life, I'm staring at an engine in the back of a truck with no concept of how to get it safely into the garage by my lonesome. The first time this happened, I dragged home a $300 International 345 V8 in the back of my Scout Terra only to discover that the bounds of my manliness terminated well before my ability to muscle that 800-pound cast iron block out of the pickup bed.
Ford dealers offered discounts on tools to fix aluminum
Mon, 27 Jan 2014With the introduction of the aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 (and the likely use of aluminum in future Ford products), Ford is looking to help its dealerships reduce costs related to repairing this more labor-intensive material. Automotive News is reporting that Ford dealers with body shops will require an estimated $30,000 to $50,000 in equipment and training to work on aluminum, and to help alleviate the financial burden of the new F-150, Ford has announced a special 20-percent discount on this equipment.
Dealers will be able to save up to $10,000 on tools such as welders, air-filtration systems and rivet guns and to create aluminum-specific work stations. The new F-150 goes on sale in the fourth quarter, and dealers have until October 31 to take advantage of this deal, according to the report.
