THE BEST UNRESTORED ORIGINAL SURVIVOR 1956 FORD THUNDERBIRDS EXHISTING IN THE WORLD TODAY.
FIRST LET ME SAY, ORIGINAL AND SURVIVOR ARE TWO OF THE MOST OVER USED AND OVER STATED DESCRIPTIONS IN THE OLD CAR
WORLD TODAY.....BUT NOT IN THIS CASE...AND I DO KNOW THEIR ACTUAL MEANING HAVING BEEN INVOLVED IN THE COLLECTOR CAR
WORLD FOR NEARLY 45 YEARS. THE CAR WAS SOLD NEW IN 1956 TO A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE PRODUCER BY BEVERLY HILLS FORD CO. WHO
KEPT IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE SELLING IT TO MRS. DORIS SANDORE OF WEST LOS ANGELES.....I THEN PURCHASED FROM HER
IN 1986 AND SOLD IT TO AN AVID COLLECTOR WHO KEPT IT THE ENTIRE TIME WHILE DRIVING IT LESS THAN 2,000 MILES UNTIL I
REPURCHASED IT AGAIN SOME 30 YEARS LATER. I AM NOW GOING TO SELL THE CAR AGAIN, SADLY, DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS,
HAVING NOTHING TO DUE WITH THE CAR ITSELF. THIS BUCKSKIN TAN/COLONIAL WHITE (PINK) THUNDERBIRD HAS EVERY POSSIBLE
OPTION AVAILABLE IN 1956 INCLUDING FULL POWER AND BOTH TOPS, (SEE ORIGINAL FACTORY INVOICE), WITH EVERTHING IN
PROPER WORKING ORDER, INCLUDING RADIO AND CLOCK. LIFETIME SILICONE BRAKES AND STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST SYSTEM
INSTALLED TO HELP WITH STORAGE LONGAVITY. THE ORIGINAL 1956 FACTORY TIRES HAVE BEEN RETAINED OVER THE YEARS AND ARE
INCLUDED IN THE SALE!! ORIGINAL HEADLIGHT BULBS, WIPER BLADES AND ON AND ON IT GOES. THE BODY IS UNTOUCHED FROM NEW
INCLUDING THE FACTORY APPLIED PAINT WITH ORIGINAL PANEL FIT AND FINISH BEING VERY GOOD FOR A 1950'S BUILT CAR, AND
THE PASSAGE OF TIME. CHROME AND BRIGHT WORK ARE EXCELLENT. INTERIOR IS ALSO FACTORY INSTALLED ORIGINAL WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF A CORRECT REPLACEMENT SEAT COVER INSTALLED 28 YEARS AGO....CARPET, HEADLINER, DASH, ETC. ARE MINT.
MILEAGE IS LOW @ 61K ACTUAL, BUT COULD PASS FOR 15K LOOKING AT THE CAR. BEST UNRESTORED 60 YR. OLD VEHICLE YOU WILL
EVER FIND.........THEY CAN ONLY BE ORIGINAL ONCE, AND NOBODY DOES IT LIKE THE FACTORY....RESTORED CARS ARE NOT THE
SAME AND A DIME A DOZEN, NO MATTER HOW MUCH TIME AND $ ARE SPENT. INSPECTIONS ARE POSSIBLE AND ENCOURGED TO
APPRICATE THE ORIGINALLY AND CONDITION OF THIS THUNDERBIRD.

Ford celebrating 80 years of Aussie utes as it prepares to shutter Oz manufacturing

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Ford is ending Australian production after 90 years in 2016, and with it may go perhaps the most iconic vehicles in its auto market - the ute. Car-based pickup trucks like the Ford Ranchero and Chevrolet El Camino were always more of a curiosity than a true market force here, but in Australia, they have long proven hugely popular.
As the legend goes, Ford invented the niche after a farmer's wife had asked Ford Australia's managing director for a more utilitarian car. Her request was simple: "My husband and I can't afford a car and a truck but we need a car to go to church on Sunday and a truck to take the pigs to market on Monday. Can you help?"
Ford's design team came up with a two-passenger, enclosed, steel coupe body with glass windows and a steel-paneled, wooden-frame load area in the rear. The sides of the bed were blended into the body to make it look more unified, and to keep costs down, the front end and interior were based on the Ford Model 40 five-window coupe. Power came from a V8 with shifting chores handled by a three-speed manual. Within a year, the new vehicle was ready, and production began in 1934. Lead designer Lewis Bandt christened it the coupe-utility.

2013 Ford Explorer Sport

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

When one speaks of sporty and fun-to-drive utility vehicles, few would put the Ford Explorer in the same category as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne. Yet, with just a few reservations, I'd toss the new-for-2013 Ford Explorer Sport close to that arena for consideration.
As a recap, the sportiest of Explorers is fitted with Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6, making 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque. Acceleration is brisk (figure about 7 seconds to 60 miles per hour), as power goes to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Contributing to its more athletic demeanor are larger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, chassis upgrades, quicker steering ratio and a more aggressive wheel/tire package. Cosmetically, the Sport is distinguished by its blacked-out lights, black trim and noticeable lack of chrome (with the exception of the door handles).
Ford recently handed me the keys to a Ruby Red Metallic Explorer Sport. Rather than mindlessly drive the big seven-passenger all-wheel drive hauler in soccer mom circles around Los Angeles, I loaded up my family and embarked on a long weekend road trip to Yosemite National Park.
