This car is an easy restore and excellent investment.  It will need tires, repainting, oiling of hinges, etc., eventually a new windshield (recently bb'd by a drive by miscreant but while the pellet struck low and causes no vision problems eventually you will want to replace it.  Frame solid, rust almost non-existent with a few bubbles under the paint, mostly along the rockers.  Plan on a brake shoe replacement from so long sitting and a new battery.  Probably a muffler system too and maybe a new set of keys.   But we're going thru piles of keys from former cars over the years and a good chance we'll find the right ones.  Mostly plan on tinkering and elbow grease; few parts other then those mentioned and nothing of major expense that we can see or anticipate.  Why pay a 'restorer' to send his kids to college when you and a friend or two can do the work yourself in your own garage.  Even if you put $2,000 in it including paint, windshield, etc., put your pencil to paper look at the value you'll have compared to the resale value!  At least $10,000+ on the current market.  Car is complete except one wheel cover is missing.  Has original 12-volt electric from the factory.  Standard a/m radio and heating.  No major dings or scratches.  Windows rull up and down easily.  Interior shows no major wear.    Glass has standard factory tints.  Alll lguages worked fine when last driven.  No accidents.  The week before I purchased it it had been driven in cross country from the west coast area U.S. to Michigan where it is now.  Last started when driven into storage.  Radiator kept full with anti-freeze and no leaking.  Keep that in mind when you restart her.  There is a proper way to do that which is safe and easy, costs about $10 and takes about 3-4 days.  But the payback is a sound engine with no damage or smoking.  Have used this proceedure many times on cars, trucks, farm tractors and other infrequently used motors over the last 40+ years and it has never once failed.  Selling low because of failing eyesight to the point where I don't drive regular anymore except on very bright days and then only in familiar areas.  Tempus Fugit.  Being sold as-is, where-is with no warranties but confidence that what I am telling you here about his car is how it is.   Sale is final.  A $500 non-refundable deposit is required received via USPS money order within five days of sale.  Balance also by USPS money order to be forwarded within 10 days of sale and before car is removed.  You can ask any additional questions which will receive a quick reply.  Recommend and invite you to come and examine the car personally or send your own mechanic or friend in the area to look the car over for you including any additional pictures  The CV is currently in a locked storage area with a low monthly rental.  We will cover the storage rate for the balance of the month (12th day) after which you can remove the car or leave it there at the same low rate while you make your hauling arrangements.  Comes with a clear Michigan title.  Buyer will be responsible for all loading/hauling expenses and any insurances you might want. . We will check & confirm the mileage, vehicle & title numbers and whether we have the right keys for ignition, doors and glove compartment and advise accordingly or just try to change the listing.  Thanks

Ford Escort testing, may be bound for Europe

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

There has been little news about Ford's China-focused Escort concept since debuting at last year's Shanghai Motor Show, but the no-frills sedan has shown its camouflaged face again during cold weather testing in Northern Sweden. While far from a guarantee, the test location might hint that the Blue Oval plans to market the car outside of Asia.
The Escort's black robe and zebra paint make it hard to tell if anything specific has changed about the design, but the shape of the sedan looks close to what was shown in Shanghai. Under the disguise, you can still make out the hexagonal front grille from the concept. When Ford announced the model, the company said that the design wasn't supposed to be "arrogant or pretentious," and it certainly achieved that. The engine range is still a mystery, but it seems safe to expect small, economy-focused powertrains.
A report from last year indicated that Ford may be considering broadening the new Escort beyond Asia and possibly even selling it in Europe. The fact that the company brought it to Sweden for testing could bolster that argument. A release date hasn't been set yet, but the automaker has promised 15 new products for China by 2015. The basic sedan could be on the road soon.

2015 Ford Mustang option prices gallop onto the web

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang is one of the most anticipated cars of the year, despite the fact that production hasn't yet begun. What's a pony car fan to do? It turns out that Ford already has pricing and options information about the vehicle in its dealer ordering system. A few enterprising folks have snapped some pictures from it and have posted them online. You might not be able to drive your car yet, but you can at least see what it might cost.
At the moment, Ford appears to be splitting the Mustang into five models - 3.7-liter V6, 2.3-liter EcoBoost, GT with the 5.0-liter V8, 50th Anniversary and SVT. There are 10 available paint colors, 2 of which require an extra outlay. Triple Yellow is $495, and Ruby Red Tint is $395. Regardless of model, navigation goes for $795, and reverse parking assist is $295.
For both the EcoBoost and GT, the six-speed automatic tacks an extra $1,195 to the sticker, and adaptive cruise control is the same price. The GT also has a limited-slip 3.55 rear end for $395 and a GT Performance package for $2,495. Recaro leather seats add an extra $1,595. For the EcoBoost, there's something called EcoBoost Performance package for $1,995. The system doesn't say what the packages include.

Cheap gas has Ford investors nervous over 2015 F-150

Wed, Dec 17 2014

Gasoline in the US continues its weeks-long descent with prices down about 13 cents a gallon over last week to $2.544, which is lower by around 69 cents/gallon from this time last year, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Many drivers are welcoming the lower bills at the gas station as a fantastic holiday gift, but Ford investors are somewhat spooked over the potential sales implications for the 2015 F-150. Market analyst Rod Lache of Deutsche Bank recently downgraded Ford's stock from a buy to hold, according to TheDetroitBureau.com, and his report to investors may have played a part in a drop in the company's share price. Lache praised the truck's powertrain and lightweight technology, but wrote, "We question whether consumers will pay the price for this content with $2-$3 gas," in his report, according to the website. Whether buyers actually turn away from the F-150 is mostly speculative at this point because it only recently began production. With around 700 pounds of weight loss thanks in parts to its new aluminum parts, the latest Ford pickup offers up to 26 miles per gallon on the highway, plus segment-best payload and towing ratings. Prices are up somewhat in part to pay for additional standard features, though. Still, any further dip in Ford's stock is bad news this year. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the company's shares are down about 7.5 percent this year. On December 15, the price fell to $14.28, the lowest since November 10. Related Video:
