1956 Ford Crown Victoria in Fiesta red & Colonial White. This car is equipped with a 312 V-8, with a 4 barrel carburetor and is 3 speed manual. It has a nice factory correct reproduction ABC interior, with optional NOS factory wire hubcaps, front & rear crash guards, fender skirts and a rear deck antenna. The car has a solid body with an older restoration done in lacquer. The Colonial White paint has developed some hairline cracks at stress points, such as the mirrors, door handles and rear deck antenna. The car does not have cracks in the white paint all over, only at the stress points, as shown. The car still won a 3rd place trophy recently in a show. However, I'd consider it a nice cruise night car, rather than a show car. To be a true show car, the car should be repainted; it all depends what you want for the car. Some people want a cruise night car and others want a show car. That being said, she draws a lot of attention where ever we take her and is still very sharp looking. Her chrome is good and was replaced, not rusty, not dented. The car is not dented and scraped up. The car is in excellent shape mechanically, with the motor having been completely rebuilt and no expense has been spared to keep her properly maintained to drive any where. The speedometer reads 74 thousand and some odd miles, which we believe to be original, but can't guarantee it. We had wanted to restore her to her original trophy winning days, where she was always a contender, but due to some unforseen health issues, we are going to part with our baby. There will be a lot of tears when she goes, as we have a lot of memories with this car, since we've owned it since 1985. We just hope she gets a good home, where she can be enjoyed and create a lot of great memories for years to come, for her new owner, like she did for us. There is a lot of additional parts, including new chrome to put on the car if it would be redone. The chrome she has now is nice, but this stuff is more show quality. We also have some used parts put back in case she would have ever been wrecked while we had her. Thankfully, we never had to use those parts. The price we want for the car, is just for the car and any parts not on the car, would be at an additional cost. If you buy the car, I'll give you a better deal on the parts, than if I sell them separately. No parts, will be sold unless the car is sold first. The car just had the carburetor totally redone and she runs like a top; I wouldn't be afraid to take her any where. That being said, this car is being sold as is and there is no warranty implied. Also, this car is being advertised locally, so an immediate local sale could result in the listing being ended prematurely. If you have any questions, or would like additional pictures, just give me a call. Call Ray at 717-407-5115 or email joypom55@yahoo.com On Aug-24-14 at 10:48:44 PDT, seller added the following information: For those of you, who are seriously interested in this car, please note that the pictures of the hairline cracks at stress points, look worse in pics, than they do on the car. Those pics. were taken practically on top of the cracks to make them show up in the pics. Also, a couple people asked me, if the car has overdrive and the answer is no. As far as the restoration, there was no frame work needed, including no cross member work needed. The work that was done to this car, was done by a professional body man, who did the car up for himself. He did work behind the rear wheel wells and the rockers and that was about it. This was a solid car to begin with and we used to show the car regularly and win trophies with it. That being said, no older restoration can compete with somebody's brand new restoration for trophies. We prefer to go to cruises any more than enter car shows, but it's all in what you want to do with the car. Currently, we use her as a fun, attention getting cruise night car. |

The 11 best scenes from the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed
Tue, Jun 30 2015Over the last three days, the Goodwood Estate has played home to the eponymous Festival of Speed. Thrown by the biggest gearhead in the British aristocracy – Charles Gordon-Lennox, the Earl of March and Kinrara – the Festival of Speed is essentially a tremendous, gasoline-fuelled party, complete with a very large lawn sculpture, that features the world's hottest, weirdest, fastest, and loudest race, production, and historic models. While there are quite literally dozens and dozens of videos from the event – not to mention the full-day replays (of which only day one is available, at present) – we've sifted through them to pluck away the very best. There's stuff from the official Goodwood YouTube channel, as well as several videos from automakers and other third-party channels, and it's all available below. 2015 Ford Mustang GT350R Looks Barely Controllable If you thought the highest-performance Ford Mustang would somehow get more tractable or civilized once it moved to an independent rear suspension, this video shows you have nothing to worry about. Watch as an unnamed driver wrestles the new Shelby GT350R and its flat-plane, 5.2-liter V8 up the hillclimb circuit. Even with the new suspension and sticky tires, this Mustang wants to go any direction but straight, especially following its launch. 2016 Ford Focus RS, Is Very Loud, Blue Ken Block makes his first appearance on our list. Before he steps into his Hoonicorn Mustang, though, the Gymkhana expert tackled the hill in the all-new Focus RS. The vicious bellow of the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is the star of this commentary-free video, although the gorgeous Nitrous Blue paint job is a nice accompaniment, as well. 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn Runs Hill, Nearly Kills Lord March Mr. Block's two runs behind the wheel of the Hoonicorn were, unsurprisingly, very eventful. While one attempt goes off without a hitch, seeing the American rally driver slip and slide his way to the top of the hill while taking a short break for a donut, the other is slightly more dramatic. Block, along with Lord March in the passenger seat, carries a bit too aggressive an angle into a turn and nearly puts the NASCAR-powered Mustang into the hay bales. Check out the first video above, and the second one below. Kimi Raikkonen Makes Us Miss F1's V8 Era The latest Formula One cars have been maligned for the lackluster noise produced by the new 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6.
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.
Ford recalls 2020-21 Explorer and Lincoln Aviator, 2021 E-Series
Mon, Dec 21 2020Ford announced safety recalls for the 2020-2021 Explorer and Lincoln Aviator along with the 2021 E-Series early Monday. The recalls address entirely different issues. In the case of the 2020-2021 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator, that issue is motor mount hardware. Specifically, the fasteners that secure the passenger-side motor mount may back out. In Ford's words, this can result in a "loss of power," which is the entirely predictable result of an engine parting ways with the vehicle it powers. As alarming as that may sound, owners should not have to worry about anything extreme, as the passenger side mount is only one of multiple, and Ford says it is not aware of any incidents that have occurred with vehicles in customer hands. Ford says it impacts only about 1400 examples of the Explorer and Aviator in the States (plus two in Mexico and 65 in Canada) that were built at Chicago Assembly Plant between July 28 and 30, 2020. Ford is in the process of alerting its owners to the recall, and those with affected models will have their mount hardware replaced by their local Ford dealerships free of charge. The 2021 E-Series is being recalled for a potential heat management issue resulting from improperly aligned thermal insulation on the underside of its engine cover. In vehicles where this insulation was not properly installed so that it reaches all the way to the edges of the cover, the resulting heat bleed can cause high in-cabin surface temperatures, and direct contact them could result in burns. This is the larger of the two recalls, as Ford says it covers nearly 33,000 examples sold in the United States and Canada. Fortunately, as with the above issue, Ford says it has not been made aware of any customer incidents. Ford says the remedy is a set of insulation patches for the exposed areas. Related Video:
