Over the top: ’68 Ford XL GT 428

Category: Submitted Tags: , , Leave a Comment

Ford XL GT

You probably think the title refers to the fact that this survivor is a convertible. Alas, grasshopper, that is not the reason. We think this is the same seller that listed the Plum Mist ’67 Pontiac Safari Wagon a few weeks ago. The seller writes the most insanely repetitive listings. You think he may have worked for an advertising agency that believed if you beat something to death the prospect will capitulate just to end the pain. But we have to admit, they find some really neat cars. Read More

Grampa’s Ford: ’55 Ford F100

Category: Submitted Tags: , , 4 Comments

Ford F100

There is absolutely no need to go into the history of a Ford F100 Pickup. In a nutshell, the F100 was the foundation Pickup for what will become Ford’s best selling vehicle most years. The seller is offering a family heirloom and that is hard for the seller to do we are sure. It is his (or hers) Grampa’s F100 pickup. It is an ex-farm truck with very low mileage and in original condition. The seller even has the original invoice stating what the options are on the truck. Read More

Grab It!: ’70 Ford Ranchero GT

Category: Your Pick Tags: , , Leave a Comment

Ford Ranchero

We’ve had older Rancheros before so we have a thing for these muscle car/pickups. This one is really hot in Graber Blue but the payoff is the engine – a 429 Thunder Jet, from the factory. Like wow! It is an automatic C-6 transmission and these are pretty durable units. The factory A/C compressor has been removed and hopefully it is an easy fix to get cooling again. This is a very rare numbers matching car with Marti Report.   Read More

This one got snapped up real quick…Memories: ’56 Ford Station Wagon

Category: Your Pick Tags: , , Leave a Comment

Ford Station Wagon

1956 was a good year for Ford. Stylists liked the”Jet-Tube” taillights so they made them a little larger in diameter and moved a little further down the body. The Astra-Dial speedometer was retained, but it was perched on a fully redesigned instrument panel. Ford enlarged its Y-block engine to 272 cid, good for 162 horsepower in its base form or 182 horsepower with a four-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust. Also available in station wagons was the 292-cid, 198-horsepower Thunderbird V-8. Only the new little Thunderbird had a higher starting price tag than Ford’s 1955 station wagons, which topped out at $2,492 for a Country Squire with the basic V-8. Customers were flocking to Ford dealerships in record numbers to buy wagons, securing the marque’s title as the wagon master. Read More

Corvette’s Savior: ’55 Ford Thunderbird

Category: Your Pick Tags: , , Leave a Comment

Ford Thunderbird

Ford’s marketing department determined that there was a market for a two passenger personal car, and that Ford could sell 10,000 units per year. The new sporty car would be a halo car and draw more people into dealer showrooms. First year production exceeded the forecasts. The first generation T-birds were considered instant classics, and became cultural icons used in movies, advertising, and on television. Read More

4th Generation: ’66 Ford F100

Ford PU Fr

Ford P u dashConserve or restore? In this case we vote conserve. Not because this is an important collectible, but because it is cool to drive an old truck. The Ford F100 has been at or near the top of the Best Selling list in the USA for like 34 years. And it started with pick-up trucks like this one. It’s just an honest workhorse. The driving lights are a nice touch and will probably be handy out on the range. Check out this honest old truck on eBay by clicking here.

LeMans Start and 12 Volts: ’55 Ford Fairlane Hardtop

56 Ford Fairlane

Did you know Homer Simpson’s car is pink? Didn’t know he was such a trend setter. Back in the 50s and 60s, duo and tri-color cars often had pink in the recipe. Somehow that makes them even more 50s than if it was let’s say, yellow. It might have to do with poodle skirts. In 1955 Ford introduced a new body style to keep up with sales leading Chevrolet.

Vintage Racer: ’27 Ford Model T

Category: Your Pick Tags: , , 2 Comments

Ford Model T Racer

This is one of the neatest cars we have ever offered. Does it demonstrate our eclectic taste in cars? Yes. But it is a historic hot rod built on an original Model T. From the listing, it appears this is a turn key car that will get you invited to many events and you’ll have a ton of fun getting there. There is not much more that we can say. If you think this is neat, you’ll visit the auction and consider bidding. But how could you not?

Brush-off: Part ’27 & Part ’31 Ford Hot Rod Built in 1960

Category: Your Pick Tags: , Leave a Comment

Ford Hot RodConfessing upfront to not knowing much about the craft of hot rod building. The eBay listing says rat rod but our understanding is that is a more modern term. We read the listing and when we got to the part about describing the paint, we knew we had to post it here on Mint. It isn’t often the seller admits that it was painted with a brush. Now that is hot rodding cool. We like the color choice too. So it is a Frankenstein in the tradition of home built customs. It has a Chevy engine mated to a Ford transmission and lots of other flotsam and jetsam thrown in. We have no idea what an original hot rod is worth but if you have one of everything else, why not have one of these? See the eBay listing by clicking here.

Cranking Z-Code: ’64 Ford Galaxie 500XL

Category: Your Pick Tags: , 1 Comment

Ford Galaxie 500 XL

The sixties was the decade of Ford in racing. Hank the Deuce was a firm believer of “run on Sunday, sell on Monday”. He tried to buy Ferrari and was shunned at the altar by il Commendatore, Enzo Ferrari. Most of us car geeks know that was probably the best thing that ever happened. Imagine if Ford gobbled up Ferrari. There would not have been the fever pitch to pulverize Ferrari and win LeMans –  so no GT-40s, probably no Daytona Coupes. Imagine Richard Petty running a Fordarri 365 GT 2+2 on the banks of Daytona? Read More

Western Movie: ’66 Ford Ranchero

Category: Submitted Tags: , 1 Comment

Ford Ranchero

We can hear the announcer’s voiceover on the movie trailer…”Ranchero!  A love story about a rancher battling Mexican banditos starring John Wayne and Maureen O’Sullivan.” Some product planners at Ford must have seen the flick back in ’57 when the 1st Ranchero was born. It was a clever and successful move for Ford as the Ranchero became quite popular. When small cars became the thing in the ’60s, Ford called up the Falcon to represent the model designation. What we have here is really the the transition year between Falcon and Fairlane Rancheros. In fact, although the front end used Falcon bodywork, it was built on a station wagon based chassis different than earlier models. Which brings us to this offering.  Read More

Budget Supercar: ’69 Ford Torino Cobra

Category: Your Pick Tags: , , 1 Comment

Ford Torino Cobra

New for the ’69 model year, the Torino Cobra was a specific model, and not an option group for the Torino GT.  The Torino Cobra was Ford’s budget supercar entry, a market segment created by the Plymouth Road Runner in 1968. Best of all, the Cobra fastback’s base retail price of $3,333.70 included the big 428. 69 Ford Cobra Engine Read More

Bonus-Built: 1949 Ford F1 Pickup

Category: Submitted Tags: , , 7 Comments

Ford F1

For over 24 years, Ford’s Pickups have been the best selling vehicle in the US. They have been in production for over 60 years. Ford’s F1s were referred to as Bonus-Built because they were the first of a long series of pickups that were not based on a passenger car chassis. So why is this one important? Well it really isn’t other than the fact that it is in very good condition in a fabulous color. The owners restored it 10 years ago and it now has a bit of patina inside and out.

Nimble Road Racer: 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL

Category: Submitted Tags: , Leave a Comment

Race on Sunday, sell on Monday. That’s what Ford thought back in the 1960’s. They challenged the competition in almost every form of motor racing possible. The Fastback featured here, was created mostly for the ovals, running successfully on NASCAR circuits throughout the country. We’ve seen them on road courses as well and that must have been a sight to see. GalaxThis Tribute is set-up for fun with a 390, Tri-Power and a 4-speed. The racing tires and decals sell the entire effort and the stance is pretty low. These Tributes sell well at auctions including a recent sale at Barrett-Jackson for a similar car with a 427. At $19,000, this is one of those “you can’t build one for this price” kind of cars. Not sure what you can do with it, but we like it a lot. On Craigslist.
