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

2015 Ford Mustang GT Line-Lock Burnout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

In this brief Short Cut, Autoblog's Steven Ewing demonstrates Line-Lock on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Accessed through an on-screen performance menu, the feature temporarily locks the front brakes to help you heat up the rear tires for better traction, as you would for drag racing. The result? A 15-second smokescreen.

Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!

1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
