Up for auction is a very nice driver quality 1957 Bird, with only 4 owners. This Little T-Bird runs out grate. Engine has had a fresh tune up, with new plugs, plug wires, cap, Electronic ignition, carb rebuild, oil change, and everything checked as it should. All new brakes have also been installed with new master cylinder, wheel cylinders and souse. It starts very easy and runs strong, with it's low miles, only 57,508 on this car from new. Everything works on the car but the clock. There is one chip on the windshield but all the rest of the glass is good. Chrome is bright and all panel fits are good. All the books pictured and the original owners manual go with the car. This owner found the car garaged, and not driven for years. He bought it from the daughter of Mr. Pietro and here is how the story go's.

This bright-red 1957 Thunderbird was Pietro's baby. Though he was born in Italy, Pietro was all-American in his choice of cars. The bigger the better, the faster better than that. This classic-Bird was his favorite.

Pietro became the car's third owner when he bought it in 1981. It had been painted red shortly before or after the sale - family members cannot remember and there is no documentation - but otherwise, Pietro kept the original intact other than the color which was originally (Willow Green.)

The car is a Thunderbird 312 Special V8 245 HP, 312 CI, Fordomatic, with power steering and power brakes; 57,508 original miles. It has a cream-colored hardtop with the classic porthole window. It includes a rare, optional automatic seat adjustment control. The interior is complete, with working AM radio, forced air heating system, etc.

The exterior finish has some chips and imperfections and a new owner will want to repaint it. The interior is in excellent condition.

Pietro died in 1989 and the car passed to his daughter who has kept it garaged and well maintained. It remains a fun driver, perfect for a summer-evening's trip to the Dairy Queen or a cruise along a back country road. The V8 purrs like a kitten - a big, powerful kitten.

This is a great driver not a show car. It has had no damage and has no rust. With new paint it would be a jem.

Buyer is responsible for shipping and all shipping costs. We will help with loading on our end and in anyway we can. I'm listing this little Bird for a friend and will take all questions to him. For more information please call Bill (208)750-0000

Ford looks back on 50 years of the Mustang in Detroit

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Ford has something special sitting in its booth here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. In fact, it brought two special somethings in the form of the Ford Mustang 1 Concept that first saw the light of day in 1962 and the very first production Mustang that rolled off the production line in 1964.
These classic creations are sharing floor space with the brand-new 2014 Mustang in honor of the pony car's 50th Anniversary. Since Ford's latest 'Stang already made its auto show debut (at a number of locations, including Los Angeles), we think it's pretty cool that the Blue Oval did something special for its home-town show.
Check out both the Mustang 1 Concept and first production 1964.5 Mustang above and below.

IIHS crash tests second F-150 bodystyle

Mon, Jun 15 2015

Sometimes, being the king comes with some extra scrutiny. At the urging of Automotive News, the Ford F-150 is the first truck to have multiple cab configurations crash tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. According to Automotive News, IIHS was preparing to release the crash-test report on the 2015 F-150 after the safety watchdog evaluated the popular, four-door SuperCrew body. However, the agency learned from AN that configuration contained steel bars welded around the front wheels for added protection. Those reinforcements aren't on the other cab variants, and IIHS is now going back to check a SuperCab without the strengthening to check its safety performance, as well. While the added bars might help the SuperCrew score better in the vital but difficult small-overlap front crash test, there's no guarantee that's their sole purpose. As the head of the IIHS crash lab Joe Nolan indicated to Automotive News, if Ford were just trying to beat the system the company could only put the reinforcement on the driver's side where the agency does the small-overlap test. Also, when the National Highway Travel Safety Administration checked the latest F-150, the Feds gave all three cab styles top, five-star overall ratings. Due to the additional testing, IIHS won't have the F-150's scores ready until July, according to Automotive News. Starting next year, the cab variants of other trucks will also starting being crash tested by the agency. Related Video:
