Never thought I would let this one go but I have a chance to buy a piece of real estate that I have been watching. This is a great car. It always gets a ton of attention and often steals the show. The car is real and the miles are real. The car has lead a charmed life and loved by all the previous caretakers. This car is a real sweetheart. Very easy to own. The engine and transmission have already been restored. Not just rebuilt, but actually restored with all the correct finishes, tags, lines, etc. The engine is a 292 Y block with a Thunderbird four barrel intake and valve covers. I also have a restored Offenhauser triple deuce set up that could go with if interested.
It runs perfectly and is super smooth. No smoke, no drips, no over heating, no issues. Fires instantly even after sitting. Drops into an easy idle. Transmission has been completely restored also and works as designed. No surprises. Fly in and drive it anywhere without concern. The interior is all stock and close to perfect. The seats are smooth and firm. The foam is not bagged out or saggy. The vinyl is soft and supple. It has the optional padded dash which has some small cracks. It also has the expensive padded visors which are perfect. The headliner is awesome and does not droop like most you see. The car still wears the original rubber floor mat it was delivered with and I also have a brand new ACC red carpet kit and new red windlace if you care to install it. Never out of the box. It has a new heater core and windshield along with windshield gasket. All other glass is factory and looks great. All the windows go up and down with ease including the electric rear tail gate glass. It works from a switch on the dash or with a key outside the tail gate. All the gauges and switches work perfectly. No excuses. Paint is all original also. I would never consider repainting it because the patina is so even. It would be virtually impossible to duplicate the finish that mother nature has given this car. It is totally flat with a west coast sunburn which has faded it just right. All original floorboards, body and chassis are virtually rust free with the exception of the passengers side rear door and the tail gate which both have very MINOR issues. The passenger door got creased at some point and I'm assuming it contributed to the very minor rust, but I have a rust free door bottom to make the repair. It goes with the deal and will replace the door from the moulding down. If you use it, you will need to match the paint, but it is low and should be easy to disguise.The tail gate is the worst part of the car and was loaded with pine needles when I got it. That hurt it. The base of the tail gate is solid and strong, but needs some attention. It does not affect the operation, but should be arrested if you are planning on getting this car wet. Remember this is a 53 year old car and does have signs of use. It shows honestly. The defects give it character and in my opinion make it harder to find than a restored car. You all know the drill "They are only original once, but can be restored perpetually" Car has power steering that works great. One finger to drive it! It has working AM radio that only plays songs from 1961. (not really). Car is sold with the factory 14 x 6 wide steel rims with NOS dog dish hub caps and brand new Coker bias plys (shown in pictures). The wheels and tires shown on the car are available to the high bidder for an additional $1500. I have clear Indiana title in hand. Delivery to NSRA Nationals in Louisville can be negotiated. Please ask any questions prior to bidding. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. Overseas buyers encouraged to bid. I have experience shipping cars to Europe and can assist with delivery to port. On Jul-22-14 at 17:05:36 PDT, seller added the following information: |

This 2,000-hp Mustang is in serious need of wheelie bars
Tue, 25 Feb 2014The Ford Mustang on the right is drag racing with the standard technique. The Mustang on the left, driven by David Measell, is using a new "rear bumper only" technique that evidently surprised everyone at the South Georgia Motorsports Park strip - including Measell.
Measell said his outfit just bought the car the week before the event, noting that it has more than 2,000 horsepower. Speaking of his "flying" run, Measell said, "We turned it up to dip on down," by which he meant they turned up the power in order to get his time down. Turns out all that power and all that traction sent the nose straight up into the air almost as soon as the race began.
He told an interviewer afterward that this was his first race in a "regular car" since he normally drives a pro-mod. "I like my wheelie bars," he concluded. You can see how he got there in the video below.

Trump did talk to Bill Ford, but the Kentucky plant was never moving to Mexico
Fri, Nov 18 2016President-elect Donald J. Trump has been butting heads with Ford for a while now. A lot of it seems to stem from misunderstanding or misrepresenting facts about how the automaker currently does business and its plans for the future. After a sit-down with executive chairman Bill Ford Jr., the misunderstandings continue, but Trump has apparently convinced the company to make some changes. During his campaign, Trump claimed that Ford was going to fire US workers and move manufacturing to Mexico. That wasn't the case – yes, Ford planned to transfer Focus and C-Max production from Wayne, Michigan, to Cuautitlan, Mexico, but no, that wouldn't mean anyone losing their job. The Wayne plant will continue to operate, and likely busier than before, as it will be the home of the new Bronco and Ranger. So Ford CEO Mark Fields responded with the facts, and then chairman Bill Ford Jr. sat down with Trump over the summer. Things apparently weren't resolved to Trump's satisfaction, so he and Bill Ford spoke on the phone yesterday as he claims in this tweet: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Let's pick that apart. First off, it's not a Lincoln plant, per se – the Louisville Assembly Plant currently builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC, two small crossovers that share a platform. Ford was considering moving MKC production out of Kentucky to Mexico, but it would not have resulted in many lost jobs if any – the union had already agreed to moving the MKC in 2015 negotiations, and taking production of the slow-selling Lincoln out of the plant would open up capacity for more Fords. Be that as it may, Ford has decided not to move MKC production out of the plant, either for political reasons of placation or because it didn't make the greatest deal of business sense, maybe a combination of the two. That means Trump isn't really saving any American jobs in the short term. If anything, this move could keep Ford supply-constrained and result in reduced sales, which in turn brings the company less money and affects the bottom line and all employees. But that's speculation, so we won't tweet it. There is of course the possibility that Ford will be convinced, either by sheer will or by a more attractive trade situation, to invest in increased US production, which could bear fruit later on. We are told by Ford that the two men did in fact speak yesterday.
