CONTACT JEFF AT 570 977 0741. Up for sale and your consideration is a really nice 1955 Ford Thunderbird equipped with the original driveline. It has a 292 V8 engine & Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. it is nicely optioned with power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seat, and all power options work just fine. It has had the same owner for 17 years. It is not a 100 point show car but presents very well and is in turn key drive home and enjoy immediately today condition. It was purchased from a neighbor who had it willed to him by his mother who resided in Honolulu, Hawaii, where the car spent much of it's life. The Hawaii inspection sticker is still on the rear bumper and the title shows Hawaii as the state of origin. The odometer shows 31,000 miles on it but I don't have any documentation to prove the mileage is original. The title is listed mileage exempt as many older cars are. The data plate reveals that the car was built in Dearborn, Michigan, (Code F) and originally a black car (Code A) with a black and white interior (Code XA). It apparently received a color change inside and out early on due to the fact that the paint, although still shiny, shows a few areas of age. The car runs, drives & stops fine. Since it spent more time in the garage than on the road for the last 17 years, some items have been replaced and refurbished. The cooling system received a new thermostat, gasket, hoses, water pump, and the radiator was cleaned and pressure tested before re-installation. The gas tank is a brand new stainless steel unit that has just been replaced. The carburetor is a bit dry from sitting and could perform better, so a rebuilt unit is on order and will be on the car before it leaves for it's new home. Transmission has been serviced with a new filter and gasket and fresh fluid as well. This Thunderbird is equipped with the original 1955 Hardtop (No Porthole), but has no softop. This car was personalized with the addition of N.O.S. 50's vintage 4" dummy spots and lake pipes. Again these items are 50's N.O.S. and not plated with the sub standard China Chrome. 1955 Mercury Station Wagon tail lights were installed for a mild custom look, along with 50's vintage spinner hubcaps. Stock tail lights and hubcaps were retained and will go with the car, so it can be returned to stock appearance in a few hours. As you can see in the photos, every area of the car is eye-pleasing. Outside, inside, and underside are all in very nice condition, although not 100 point show quality. The wide-white tires have great tread, and the exhaust is in fine condition. The engine has the optional dress up kit with original finned valve covers. The investment value and desirability of this car speak for themselves. This car is a real head turner that receives thumbs up and horn beeps everywhere it goes and would compliment any garage and would be a hit at the local show or cruise. The car is priced for what it is, with the realization that it is not a rotisserie restoration. Please take the time to look at all the photos.

Lincoln trumpets $129M investment, 300 new jobs in Louisville for MKC
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Remember when we used to talk about how close Lincoln was to being axed and how it seemed any day now the Grim Reaper would use it as a car service back to the grave? Last time we did it was, oh, not even a month ago. What a difference 27 days makes: Ford and Lincoln are trumpeting a $129M investment in the Louisville Assembly Plant that builds the MKC.
In July the MKC was the third-best-selling Lincoln of the brand's six offerings, beat by the MKZ and - by a much smaller margin - the MKX. It has sold 2,895 units in the two months it's been on sale, which is more than half the year-to-date sales of the MKS, MKT and Navigator. It's already important, is what we're trying to say, and this is before the Chinese market gets a crack at it later this year.
The money headed to Kentucky will be joined by 300 new workers, another marker in Ford's march to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the US by next year. You can read more about it in the press release below.
2013 Ford F-150 Limited
Mon, 28 Jan 2013The Ford F-150 received yet another new model for the 2013 model year, the Limited trim, bringing the ways you can order this country's most popular vehicle to a grand total of 10. There really is an F-150 to suit any need now, and the Limited variant slots in at the very top of the range, above the already pampering Platinum model.
While normally I would admit that I'm the least-appropriate person to test a pickup, the fact that this particular trim places a much higher premium on luxury than anything with a bed and Blue Oval badge before it means that I don't need the workman chops of a skilled tradesman to judge how well this truck meets its true aim.

Ford brings FPV Falcon production in house [w/video]
Thu, 21 Feb 2013For the first time since 1976, Ford of Australia is bringing the assembly of its stonking Ford Performance Vehicle line back in-house to the company's Broadmeadows and Geelong facilities. That's a point of pride for FPV, which builds high-performance versions of the Australian Falcon model like the F6, GS and the heroic GT seen here.
In the video below, we hear FPV employees talking in hushed tones about the important legacy that cars like the GT have for Australian gearheads of all stripes, and how proud they are to say that hand-built machines like this GT R-Spec with its Boss 355 engine are now rolling out of their home base. For our part, we're just dying to drive this version of the Coyote V8; the engine is rocking a "Miami" supercharger from Harrop and makes some 450 horsepower.
Continue on below for the video, or you can check out some images of the new FPV at the facility, as well as a gallery of the GT R-Spec car.
