Lincoln, Delaware, United States
Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : corneliusctteague@ukcampers.com .
This is one out 1,363 of the rarest Ford Thunderbird manufactured in 1957 the E-code , they came with 312 Y-block
with dual Holley teapot carburetors. This vehicle began as a full restoration project 3 years ago, there has been a
lot of hours and funds invested into this build . This build did not begin as a concord build and was not planned
to be one . It has been a journey just getting this bird to this point in which finishing the body it is ready to
go on a rotisserie to complete it properly and then assembly in which we have interior door cards and panels also
the seat cover and various parts in which i'll attempt to add all in the pics. We do have the soft top roof also
and hard top as in pictures. I will be updating the info or answer any questions about this vehicle as possible for
those whom have interest.
Thanks for looking
Upate;
The engine is a fresh full rebuild and has never been started both carbs were just overhauled and all parts
anodized . The transmission and torque converter have been rebuilt . Engine and trans were done by highly reputable
technicians and if needed you could discuss the overhaul and rebuilds with them. At this time the chassis is
separated from the body still if needed i will mate them for transporting. The frame has be replaced with a frame
direct from a 1957 T-Bird from Marvin Hills Thunderbird specialist out of Ohio. The original frame had been
modified and X was cut in which weakened the strength of it's structure to the point of loss of safety to being
road worthy so we replaced if something or a part we had doubt about it was replaced.
Thanks again.
Upate of info:
Would like to describe the body, it's pretty solid, it needs drivers side floor pan and rocker and passenger rocker
only a little repair around rear wheel wells. I'm trying to set up a link for added pictures. Will have it ready
shortly.

Ford board pushing Mulally for decision amidst fears story is drowning out other news
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Automakers and their executives rarely like to divulge information regarding future goings on, but the board of directors at Ford sound like they're getting a little antsy about chief executive officer Alan Mulally and his plans for 2014.
According to Reuters, as news of Mulally's possible departure to Microsoft continues to swirl, Ford's board is looking to push the affable executive to make a decision about his future sooner rather than later. Apparently, the board is growing concerned that this will-he/won't-he drama may end up distracting the media from covering Ford's other big news events next year - items like the debut of key all-new products like the Mustang and F-150.
So far, the picture for Mulally's eventual successor remains fuzzy, but it's understood that the leading candidate remains the company's chief operating officer, Mark Fields. Just recently, we heard that Mulally will stay until the end of 2014, but a few months ago, Ford seemed open to the idea of him stepping down earlier than that.
Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.
Ford 3D-printing Mustang out of chocolate and candy for Valentine's Day
Thu, 13 Feb 2014Is your beloved in love with the new 2015 Ford Mustang? Do they like chocolate (that's a trick question - everyone likes chocolate)? Are they a bit of a futurist? Then this Hallmark holiday, you need to get them this Ford Mustang, 3D-printed in sweet, delicious chocolate.
Ford is teaming with 3D Systems' Sugar Lab in LA to produce the super-accurate pony car confections in both chocolate and sugar candy varieties. The process kicked off with a CAD rendering of the 2015 Mustang, which was then programmed into the 3D printer. After a bit of work from the machine, a four-inch long, two-inch tall Mustang was the result. Why the tieup with 3D Systems, though?
"We wanted to create something fun to show that while 3D printing made these edible Mustangs, manufacturing-level 3D printing was used in the development of Ford's all-new sports car," said Paul Susalla, Ford's supervisor of 3D printing.
