This is a very special car.

1955 Ford Thunderbird

292 V8

Automatic transmission

50,800 original miles (and counting...we are still happily driving it)

Texas car - NO RUST EVER.

Clean clear Florida title.

It has every available option for a T Bird in 1955 except for the hard top (which it came with, but is not included in the sale)

This vehicle spent several years on display at the Volo Museum (where the owner purchased it from in 1990). It has spent the last 24 years in a climate controlled building built specifically for the previous owners' classic car collection.

One repaint in 1990

Body is very straight.

Chrome is very nice, other that some of the small light housings (see picture). But very very presentable

The only things that were changed on the car that keep it from being a "survivor" are things that make it safe and driveable, such as disc brakes, modern carburator and ignition, and switched from 6 Volt to 12 Volt.

Interior is Tuxedo black / white and in good condition with no rips or tears or stains

The underside of the car is spotless, and has never ever been rusted nor repaired. It looks pretty much as it did in the 1950's. This is very very rare for for the 1955-1957 T Birds. It is very unusual to find one that has not been rusted or repaired.

Nice wide white wall tires.

The motor runs nicely and smoothly. Drives excellent.

The car has PS, PDB, PW, PS, Convertible top, clock (that works), and back up lights (that all work)

The wipers work, but have been disconnected temporarily for a vacuum leak.

The transmission selector has a small leak of some transmission fluid. I may have that fixed before the new buyer picks up the car.

The horn works sometimes and sometimes not. I have not looked at it yet, but I will.

All the lights work.

The top looks great and is newer, and the rear window is clear. There are about three rivets in the bottom of the top where it meets the car that could be reinstalled, as they are pulling a bit. See the pictures.

I do not know how to turn the radio on. I assume it works, but I don't know how to turn it one.

The vehicle passed an NSRA Safety inspection last month. The current 2014 sticker is on the vehicle.

This is a very beautiful, unmolested car that runs and drives great and one that you could put your wife in to drive and send her off without worry. The blemishes / issues are very few on this fine automobile.

It's an investment that is only going to go up in value. They are only this nice ONCE, and they only have 50,000 original miles on them ONCE. It ALWAYS draws a crowd. Show or cruise ready just the way it is.

I can help with shipping and transport.

I do have experience with international exporting, and I am willing to help an overseas buyer (at their expense, of course).

Bid to WIN !!!!!

The car also has the telescoping steering wheel that I forgot to mention

Here's more of the Ford GT soundtrack

Mon, Aug 3 2015

You probably won't be surprised to find out that that while we outsiders were speculating on the racing plans for the new Ford GT, the automaker was already testing the American exotic on track. Ford Performance has just posted some footage from one of those tests and it's worth a watch. In spite of that early exhaust promo and Xcar's two in-depth videos on the racer and the road-going coupe, this is the first time we've been treated to sustained looks at the track version just laying in laps and roaring by. Now that we know Ford's plans include running four cars throughout the 2016 season, the early testing makes sense. Ford will have two cars running in the GTE-Pro class in the Tudor United Sports Car Championship and another two in the same class in the FIA World Endurance Championship, all of them campaigned by Chip Ganassi Racing with the Felix Sabates team. Then the company plans to have all four cars at Le Mans, which will be Chip Ganassi's first ever tilt at the French event. If you want some practice picking out exhaust notes come 2016, check out the video above.

Mustang pinball game will feature art by Ford GT designer

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

To celebrate 50 years of Mustang, Ford and Stern Pinball are collaborating on a new pinball machine that will feature the muscle car in all its glory, Polygon reports. Even better, Camilo Pardo, the guy who designed the Ford GT, will provide art for the table; Tanner Foust, Top Gear USA host and professional driver, will handle narrating duties; and a Sony Music soundtrack spanning five decades will provide the tunes.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made... What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?" says Stern Pinball CEO Gary Stern.
Watch the promotional trailer for the upcoming Mustang pinball machine below, which will have to hold you over until pricing and availability are announced in early 2014.
