Remember American Graffitti? Here is a beautiful, classic Colonial White 1957 2-seater Ford Thunderbird with a good running 312 cc V-8 engine, automatic transmission, air conditioning, power steering, original hubcaps and fender skirts, and two tops - a matching Colonial White hardtop with portholes, and a black cloth top. The engine was rebuilt in 1997 (with new valves, hardened valve seats, etc.), soon after I bought the car, and power brakes were added; I later upgraded the brake system further to include front disc brakes. The car was stripped to bare metal and repainted its code-correct Colonial White in 1999; I have included a few photos of the repaint process. I replaced the non-working original Thunderbird AM radio with a new Thunderbird AM/FM radio with cassette. The original code-correct black-and-white interior is clean and in great shape. New parts and improvements: fuel line, radial white-wall tires, weatherstripping, springs, voltage regulator, water pump, battery, exhaust system with resonators, expanded radiator, shocks, 6-blade fan and more! The car runs and drives fine and has always been garaged. Title is clear. The odometer reading on the title, when I bought the car in 1997, was 124095, so it has only been driven about 16,000 miles since I bought it, and a bit less since the engine work was done. I have all the bills and receipts for work done, parts purchased, etc., and will include the Thunderbird Shop Manual in the sale, along with some spare parts, and Thunderbird periodicals which include historical and tech tips. I have had lots of Fun, Fun, Fun with this great car over the years, and won trophies with it, but now I need the garage space.
A deposit of $500 is required within 48 hours of the end of the auction, with full payment of balance expected within 7 days of end of auction by cashier's/certified check in U.S. funds. It is the buyer's responsibility to arrange pick up and transportation of the vehicle.
Please feel free to email me with any questions prior to auction end.

Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile
Wed, 27 Mar 2013We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.
A closer look at the 2015 Ford F-150
Thu, 16 Jan 2014Despite having to share Ford's Detroit Auto Show stand with the hot new 2015 Mustang, the brand-new F-150 was arguably an even more important debut. Why? Ford moved some 700,000 examples of its F-Series truck in 2012, making it not only the best-selling pickup truck, but the top-selling vehicle in the US, by a long-shot.
The 2015 F-150 raises the bar for pickup trucks in a big way, with big-time use of aluminum. Because of this, roughly 700 pounds have been removed from the truck's overall weight, making it even more efficient than before, while still offering all of the capability that pickup owners expect. And with a host of engines under the hood, including a new 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, the 2015 F-150 will surely offer something for everyone.
During the Detroit Auto Show, west coast editor Michael Harley took a closer look at the new F-150, talking to some of the truck's engineers. Have a look at the full video, below.
Ford nets $5.7B in 2012, $1.6B in fourth quarter
Tue, 29 Jan 2013Ford brought in $5.7 billion in net income during 2012, which is around $307 million less than one year prior. Even so, the automaker closed out 2012 with the highest pre-tax profit for a single quarter in nearly 10 years, earning $1.7 billion in the fourth quarter thanks largely to a higher-than-average truck mix in the US. That's a jump of $577 million over 2011. Likewise, that translated into fourth quarter income of $1.6 billion. All told, Ford set a full-year pre-tax profit record in 2012. But that doesn't necessarily mean everything is rosy in the land of the Blue Oval.
Like every other manufacturer, 2012 saw Ford get hammered in the European Union, where a deep economic recession continues to drive down consumer confidence. The automaker lost more than $700 million in Europe, and saw full revenue of $26.6 billion in 2012. That's a decline of $7.2 billion compared to last yea. Ford says the market for new vehicles in Europe has contracted to 13.5 million units, the lowest number in 17 years. You can read the full press release below for more information.
