1955 Ford Thunderbird project. This was a complete 2 owner car at one time. A restoration was started and then a divorce happened. The car got lost in transition. Most of the parts were left at body shop and the body man ended up going to prison. Its hard to make this stuff up.
The body work was all done, rust issues were fixed, and the car was in the process of going back together. It has received some front fender damage being moved around and will need to be repaired but its an easy fix. No rust, a great start to a project. The pictures show the car but there are few extra parts to go with, namely a radiator, a few engine parts, and a seat. Missing hood, truck, doors, top, etc. The motor (292) and trans were rebuilt years ago and installed in the car. However, I believe you would want to tear them back down to check everything. The engine compartment is painted and I believe the front end was redone. If you can locate some body parts I think this could be a great start to owning a first gen T-Bird. The car belongs to my mother, email with questions. We are hoping someone can put this back together or use it for another bird. If you have a complete Bird that is rotted, this would be a great car to transfer to. Car is listed locally and I reserve the right to sell it.

Enterprise customer billed $47k for Mustang stolen from rental lot

Sun, 05 Jan 2014

A weekend rental of a Ford Mustang GT Convertible sounds like a nice, relaxing way to burn some gas, but one Nova Scotia woman's two-day rental is turning into a months-long headache. In early October, Kristen Cockerill picked up the Mustang from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and she returned it the following day as stipulated by the rental contract. Unfortunately, she dropped the car off on a Sunday - a day on which the particular Enterprise office is closed - and the car ended up being stolen overnight.
Now, two months later, CBC reports that Cockerill received a bill from Enterprise for the full replacement of the car totaling $47,271 (a base 2014 Mustang GT Convertible currently costs $40,349 in Canada). As it turns out, the fine print in the contract says that the renter is responsible for cars dropped off after hours until it can be inspected the next business day - this is also reflected on the key drop seen in the news report video, which states "vehicles returned after hours are the responsibility of the renter until inspected on the next business day."
It's not clear how much, if any, of that amount Cockerhill will be responsible for once her insurance company gets involved, but if the insurance company refuses to pay, Enterprise will bill the amount to the credit card she provided during her rental. While this ordeal is far over for Cockerhill, it's a good reminder for the rest of us to always read the fine print.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
