Super Rare 1957 Thunderbird "E-Bird"!! Less than 4% of all the Birds that were made in 1957 had the 270 Horsepower dual carb
option. These were built to go head to head with the Corvette fuelie in Nascar speed week trials!! In fact they won there class! Beating Corvette!! This car was built to run! as evidenced by its 3-speed manual gearbox with overdrive and a 3.56 final ratio rear end. The car was painted back in the 70's although presentable this car is worthy of new paint, it has typical weathering of an aged paint job. The chrome is still nice, as well as the interior , convertible top and back window. The floors, frame, and trunk pan are all super solid without issues. It appears this car has remained inside for most of its life. The original spare is still in the trunk as shown in the pictures. The car fires up and sounds great. The interior is clean and appears to be original, and yes we have the original dash pad that is in remarkable shape!! The Trim tag Decodes As follows: E= 312 Cubic Inch 2-4V Carb 270 Horsepower 7= 1957 F= Dearborn Michigan Plant H= 55-57 T-Bird Color=F= Starmist Blue Trim=Xl=Pleated Dresden Vinyl/pleated Starmist vinyl 23D=Build Date= April 23rd Trans=3=3-speed Manual with overdrive Axle =2= 3.56 to 1 Rear Gear There is some evidence that the car may have been upgraded back in the day with a factory Isky camshaft and ported heads! These Limited production high performance Birds are hard to find and this one is worthy of attention!! Please bid accordingly! If you don't have the funds, or need to sell your car to buy this one Please look elsewhere. We welcome inspections in person and will try to answer your questions as best as we can. Thanks!! |

2013 Ford F-150 Limited
Mon, 28 Jan 2013The Ford F-150 received yet another new model for the 2013 model year, the Limited trim, bringing the ways you can order this country's most popular vehicle to a grand total of 10. There really is an F-150 to suit any need now, and the Limited variant slots in at the very top of the range, above the already pampering Platinum model.
While normally I would admit that I'm the least-appropriate person to test a pickup, the fact that this particular trim places a much higher premium on luxury than anything with a bed and Blue Oval badge before it means that I don't need the workman chops of a skilled tradesman to judge how well this truck meets its true aim.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
Amelia Island 2013: 50 years of the Ferrari-slaying Ford GT40
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Originally developed with the sole purpose of being a Ferrari rival to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT40 became a prominent racing machine in the 1960s in both Europe and the US. Not wanting to leave such an important car out of the fun, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance also took time out from its other celebrations to recognize the 50-year anniversary of the GT40.
Over its short lifespan, the GT40 was offered in a handful of configurations, but the classic short-tailed (Mk I and Mk II) bodystyles were well represented... especially in Gulf livery. James Glickenhaus (of Ferrari P4/5 fame) had his bright yellow Mk IV in the field, and there were several others in this bodystyle, including one that has seen plenty of time on the track judging by its chipped-up nose.
As a fitting statement for the car's lengthy racing history, GT40 Chassis Number 1075 won this year's Concours de Sport award. This car took home the checkered flag at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, and racked up a total of six wins in just 11 races.
