1956 T-Bird-NO RESERVE__The car is being relisted at no reserve-The body on the car looks to have a decent older restoration that is starting to show its age. The paint still has a great shine and is in good condition. The only places that the body is staring to show is on the bottom of the passenger door and it has a couple bubbles on the passenger side rear fin by the trunk. It has some bubbles on the trunk lip also. I tried to take pics of these area but they dont show to well in the pics as they really arent that bad. There are no rust holes or anything its just bubbling. The passenger side front fender has some chips on it and have been touched up-I also took a pic of this. The chrome is excellent-Both bumpers are fantastic. The stainless is pitted in places. Both door handles, and the trim around the porthole window are pitted. I took pics of these. The continental kit is excellent. The tires are good year bias ply-Have tread but are kinda old. The trunk seems good as are the floors. I took pics-The interior is where we have some issues that you can correct pretty easy. The seat is excellent as is the dash pad-It has no cracks. The door skins are decent. I took pics of all these.It has some basic issues. The speedometer isnt working nor is the tach,and the heater blower motor. The wipers motor work but is not connected to the rods. Gas gauge works fine as do all the lights turn signals brake lights and horn all work as they should. It has both tops. The soft top frame is good but the canvas is old. The hardtop is good and has 1 small cut in the headliner. Mechanically the car has a 312 with a tri-power setup on it. It is connected to a 4 speed tranny. The clutch is good as is the trans-It shifts as it should. The motor is the solid lifter 312 and has an edelbrock intake with the 3 holley carbs on it. When I got the car it ran like crap. It was all carb related. So I had all 3 carbs rebuilt and purchased new linkage for the tri-power. It now runs very good. 1 of the carbs is leaking a little fuel around the base but I have been driving it-So that would need to be adjusted. But mechanically the car runs very good. It runs drives and brakes as it should. Its a little interesting to drive with those bias ply tires and drum brakes and no power steering. But thats how they made them back then. But like I said I have been driving it around and runs great and turns heads everywhere it goes. It just needs some tinkering with that dash stuff and the body is good except for the little bit of bubbling and the bottom of the pass door. -Its no show car by any means but its an older restoration thats just showing some age,but is a nice cruise that needs some tlc --If you would like any other pics just let me know. I encourage you to come see the car. We are a NY Dealer so NY residents will have to pay sales tax. Please feel free to ask questions. I try to be as honest as I can. I have sold many cars on E-bay and I have 100% positive feedback for a reason. I try to be honest about the description. Its not a show car but can be a nice driver with some tinkering. Drive it while you fix it,take it to local cruise ins-The paint job is prensentable. I actually just waxed it-I do have an original intake and carb for the car-It was given to me along with a box of stuff. --The pics dont show the bubbles I spoke of or the bottom of the pass door, But I took the pics. Its just an older resto coming through. It was a decent restoration.-The car is located in Elmira NY and is being sold "AS-IS" with no warranty--High bidder gets the car--No Reserve
On May-23-13 at 04:59:54 PDT, seller added the following information:
NO RESERVE-This should be the lowest price T-Bird on E-Bay-I have been watching birds for awhile on here. So for a Bird in this nice of condition its an extremely fair price-You wont find a better one for the money!!!

Ford wants to double hybrid offerings by 2020
Wed, Jan 15 2014The Blue Oval is looking for folks on the other side of this Big Old Sphere to get on board with its hybrid offerings. Ford executive Raj Nair, speaking at the Detroit Auto Show this week, said the US automaker wants to double the number of hybrids models it offers by the end of the decade, Reuters reports. Details of what that actually means is anyone's guess, as it was unclear how many of those models would be in the US and how many would be overseas. That said, Nair did say that prospective customers in regions such as China and Europe would drive the expansion of offerings. Ford got off to a great start in the US last year on its hybrid sales, but then tailed off towards the end of 2013. Ford more than doubled its green-car sales in 2013 to almost 88,000 units. In that number were more than 37,000 Fusion Hybrids and more than 28,000 C-Max Hybrids sold domestically. The company also sold almost 7,500 Lincoln MKZ Hybrids. Ford's green-car totals for 2013 were up fivefold at the mid-year point, hinting that Ford's hybrid sales plateaued, at least temporarily, in recent months.
2015 Ford C-Max gets a corporate nose job [w/video]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Ford might not have the splashiest booth here at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, but the automaker is showing off quite a bit of hardware that will actually end up on roads across Europe. Parisians are no doubt tickled at getting to see the specifications of the Mustang tuned for The Continent (which has a revised suspension for European roads, and a few visual nips and tucks), in addition to the revised face of the family-friendly C-Max.
As you can see, C-Max styling has been revisited with a deft touch, grafting Ford's six-sided corporate grille on the nose, in place of the outgoing car's two-part affair. New headlights can also be found on the car's revised front fascia, though the rear end of the C-Max looks only slightly different than the current version.
Inside the cabin, Ford has consolidated controls and upped the ante in terms of material quality, with "black satin" and chrome details and more storage capacity, overall. Grocery-lugging moms and dads everywhere should appreciate the hands-free liftgate feature, as well.
Ford recalls 650,000 trucks and SUVs for defective wipers
Thu, Apr 21 2022Ford announced earlier this month that it is recalling 652,996 F-Series pickups, Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators produced for the 2020 and 2021 model years to address an issue that may cause their windshield wipers to separate, reducing visibility and leading to potentially hazardous driving conditions. According to the Blue Oval, one of its suppliers used worn tooling components that resulted in wiper arms being produced with splines that are not tall enough to fully engage the motor pivots they're mounted to, which can cause the connection to strip when the motors are turned on. This could result in the wiper arms not moving at all, or engaging only intermittently. "Worn wiper arm spline tooling core inserts at the supplier resulted in insufficient spline tooth height, which can cause the arm attachment to strip when used with a certain wiper motors with higher torque," Ford said in its defect report to NHTSA. "Potential symptoms include erratic or slow wipe speed of the driver or passenger wiper arm. An improper functioning wiper arm may potentially result in reduced visibility in certain conditions, which could increase the risk of a crash." Ford says the vehicles were not produced in VIN order, so while not all of the nearly 653,000 vehicles have bad wiper arms, they're all suspect until proven safe. Ford will notify owners of the recall campaign starting in May. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
