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 |

US Ford Focus RS to be imported from Europe
Tue, 21 Oct 2014Rumors about the forthcoming Ford Focus RS are flourishing into what sounds like a very impressive new hot hatch. The latest scuttlebutt gives the first indication about when we might see a few of these fast Focuses on roads here in the US.
Unnamed insiders reportedly confirmed to The Truth About Cars that Ford plans to launch the Focus RS in the US in 2016. However, getting one might not be so easy - the boosted powertrain means the car would likely need to be imported from Europe. That's likely going to keep the total number available in the US rather low. The sources estimate a price tag that's a bit more expensive than the top Focus ST3, which starts around $28,500, plus $825 destination.
It seems that a pretty potent package comes for all of that cash, though. The Focus RS reportedly uses a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making between 325 and 350 horsepower, with a torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system to get that muscle to the road. The test mules also wear more aggressive front and rear fascias, dual exhaust tips, larger brakes and sticky tires. It sounds like a great formula on top of the already enjoyable Focus ST.
USPS releases hot rod stamps to speed up your delivery
Sun, 08 Jun 2014After one of the worst winters in recent memory for much of the country, summer is finally here. It's time to drop the top, open the sunroof or at least put down the windows and take a long drive. The United States Postal Service is celebrating the season's sun in automotive style with two new hot rod Forever stamps.
Both stamps depict classic '32 Ford hot rods. One shows the car from the front at a low angle in red (pictured above), while the other depicts the car from the back in black with flames running down the side.
To introduce the new stamps on their first day of availability, the USPS went straight to the source at the National Street Rod Association Street Rod Nationals in York, PA. They were unveiled by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, Car Crazy host Barry Meguiar and NSRA Special Events Director Jerry Kennedy.
eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history
Sat, 03 May 2014You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.
