If you want to be the star of any car show this is your FORD. This was the dream of a local Atlanta radio personality. It was a no expense spared creation with approximately two hundred thousand dollars spent. The car was built to drive, as well as star in any show. It rides on an Art Morrison tube chassis, and is equipped with four wheel Wilwood disc brakes, and power rack and pinion steering. If you never driven a car with this chassis/suspension setup you cannot believe how well it goes, stops, steers, and handles. It isn't as good as a new car, it's BETTER! All with the classic looks of the Fifties. The metal work, and chassis setup, was all done by Bryan Fuller Hot Rods, of TV fame, in his Atlanta shop. As you can imagine the underside of the car is just as impressive as the rest of the body.  My lift is broken or I'd include photos.

Power is from a Ford Racing 460 crate engine rated at 500 horsepower. Behind this powerhouse is a beefed up Ford C-6 automatic sending horses to a nine inch Ford rear with 3:50 gear ratio. This thing is FAST, but can be driven around town, or across country. It has power windows, doors, trunk, and top. The top is a Mercedes type cloth with a full leather top boot cover when down. The power seat and door panels are full soft grain leather. If you just want to cruise, you'll be comfy with the Vintage Air system and the AM/FM/CD mounted just under the dash and the beautifuly restored original steering wheel on a new tilt column.

The car is a deep metallic Black Cherry, which at night appears black, but is absolutely dazzling in the sun. The body is straight as a laser, as are all body gaps, as you would expect in a car of this calibre. The stainless side trim is from a '56 Fairlane 500. All chrome, glass, and stainless trim is beautiful.  The wheels are polished American Racing Salt Flats carrying Michelin rubber. Nothing but the best of everything went into the build on this car. I own 10 classic cars and none get the attention of this one.  This type of quality is never cheap, but you can own the car for less that half of what was spent building it. It has been driven 2250 miles by me since it's completion and is still being driven on special occasions. It lives inside my house and has never seen rain. If you're a Ford fan you'll love this one.

I'm not interested in any trades. I will not disclose the reserve price. The car is currently registered in Georgia as a 1955 Ford. Georgia does not issue titles on cars of this age, so the car will be sold with current GA registration paperwork and bill of sale. Payment must be by cash in person or Bank Wire transfer to my account.

Ford readying dozen+ Mustang models for SEMA

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

Ford is unsurprisingly bringing a herd of its new 2015 Mustang models to next month's SEMA show in Las Vegas. Over a dozen of them are arriving from top aftermarket outfits like Galpin Auto Sports, Steeda, Roush and others. The Blue Oval isn't just shining a spotlight on the V8 model, though. The new EcoBoost 2.3-liter version with 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque is also getting its time in the sun.
Among the shined-up ponies will be a showcar helping Galpin celebrate the Mustang's golden anniversary, with the car is covered in the precious metal. The black paint over the body has gold flecks in it, and the wheels, side sills, brake calipers and badges all match, as well. However, it takes more than something shiny to truly impress at SEMA, and Galpin's Mustang also packs a Whipple supercharger for the 5.0-liter V8, boosting the bottom line to 725 horsepower. Take that, Hellcat. There's even a window in the hood to look through, not unlike a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The coupe also wears new headlights with LED turn signals that activate in sequence, just like the taillights, and the interior features black-and-gold Recaro seats.
Also set for its SEMA debut is an MRT showcar that takes the EcoBoost Mustang for a gallop with its TKO treatment. The black and orange two-tone car has been designed to incorporate select road racing elements. Mechanical upgrades include 14-inch brake rotors with new ducts, a Vortech air-to-air intercooler and an Air Lift suspension. The Mustang also shows off the company's products for added style and performance including a hood with integrated heat extractors and a unique front splitter.

Lincoln electric SUV to use Ford-backed Rivian's 'skateboard' chassis

Wed, Nov 27 2019

DETROIT — A battery-powered Lincoln SUV, due in mid-2022, will be the first Ford Motor Co. vehicle built on a custom electrified chassis that resembles a skateboard, which was developed by Ford-backed startup Rivian, according to several people familiar with the program. The all-wheel-drive Lincoln SUV could compete against Rivian's R1S, an electric sport utility vehicle slated to go into production in early 2021 that will be priced from $72,500. Both models will use Rivian's so-called skateboard, a flexible platform that combines electric motors, batteries, controls and suspension. On Tuesday, Ford declined to comment. Rivian did not respond to a request for comment. The new Lincoln, which carries the internal program code U787, also could compete with premium offerings from others, including General Motors Co <GM.N>, which plans to introduce at least two new electric SUVs by 2023, one for Cadillac and one that could revive the Hummer name, sources have said. Ford invested $500 million in Rivian this year and plans to help it begin production next year at a former Mitsubishi plant in Normal, Illinois. When Ford made the investment, it said it would use Rivian's skateboard to develop its own electric vehicle, but did not disclose details. It is not clear where Ford intends to build the Lincoln SUV, which will be among the first of several battery-powered utility vehicles planned for Ford's premium brand in North America and China, according to supplier sources familiar with those programs who asked not to be identified. Ford expects to introduce a compact Lincoln electric crossover in late 2021 or early 2022 and a mid-size companion in 2023, the sources said. The U.S. auto industry plans to invest billions of dollars over the next few years to build all-electric pickups and SUVs, sectors of the market that have been among the most profitable, especially for Detroit-based automakers. But analysts have questioned whether demand from consumers and commercial customers will come close to matching production. Founded in 2009, Rivian has raised $1.9 billion from investors, including e-commerce giant Amazon, which has ordered 100,000 electric delivery vehicles from Rivian. The first Amazon vans will be built in Normal and are to be delivered in 2021. Ford aims to sell an electric F-series pickup in late 2021, sources have said.
