The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"About 5 years ago I put new brakes on it and a new exhaust and a new fuel tank and fuel pump. However now after starting it the other day and driving it around the neighborhood I notice that the fuel gauge does not work...that came with the pump and so I am guessing that Father time did something. The other things that do not function correctly are the A/C, that works but the R12 leaks out, the fuel gauge as I mentioned, the dash pad is cracked badly around the speaker hole, the glove box door opening button or knob is broken and would need replacement and set of tires probably. Now the tires hold air and they only have about twenty thousand miles on them but they are old and so there is the reason why I listed the tires. The engine runs good, leaks a little oil while sitting, but does not smoke, the transmission shifts good and there are no noises from the rear end. There are no warrantys implied. Sold as is."

This 1986 Crown Victoria was a Florida car all of its life so there is no rust underneath and only on the drivers door in fact due to a scrape while my dad was driving it. I have the full service history on the car(receipts) from Goodyear of Brooksville Florida. There are no dents, just not a good paint job on the door. This was my dad's car until he passed away in '96. About 5 years ago I put new brakes on it and a new exhaust and a new fuel tank and fuel pump. However now after starting it the other day and driving it around the neighborhood I notice that the fuel gauge does not work...that came with the pump and so I am guessing that Father Time did something. The other things that do not function correctly are the A/C, that works but the R12 leaks out, the fuel gauge as I mentioned, the dash pad is cracked badly around the speaker hole, the glove box door opening button or knob is broken and would need replacement and set of tires probably. Now the tires hold air and they only have about twenty thousand miles on them but they are old and so there is the reason why I listed the tires. The engine runs good, leaks a little oil while sitting, but does not smoke, the transmission shifts good and there are no noises from the rear end. So here is the scoop, I am selling the car and telling you that you could use this car as a drive to work car, driver, or for parts. For an almost thirty year old car this ain't bad! There is no warranty implied and it is a buy as is sale. You must pick it up locally. The car is in Grayslake Illinois.

You must have a Pay Pal account and pay a non refundable deposit of $500.00 within 48 hours of the auctions end. The balance to be paid in full within 3 days of the auctions end. Local pick up only. No warranty on this vehicle as it has over 68,000 miles on it.

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven

Wed, Feb 8 2023

POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods.  However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows.  Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS.  Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence.  Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino  with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.

Feds looking into Ford Explorer exhaust leak complaints

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

There may be a burgeoning problem with exhaust leaks in the 2011-2014 model year Ford Explorer. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is examining multiple complaints of a gasoline smell in the cabin of these SUVs. However, the exact cause of this problem is still unknown.
"The agency is reviewing all available data and will take appropriate action as warranted," said a NHTSA spokesperson in an email to Automotive News. Owners seem to generally complain on the regulator's website of the smell entering the cabin through the air vents. At this time, the government organization has not yet opened an official investigation into the problem, though. When it does begin inspecting vehicles, NHTSA posts a detailed breakdown of its public data online.
Similar problems have been reported about the Explorer in the past, though. In 2013, Ford issued a recall for the 2013 model year of the SUV due to a fuel leak that could cause drivers to smell a gasoline odor and repaired them again later for another possible leak. In response to Autoblog's questions, Ford responded via email: "We are not aware of a NHTSA investigation. We are currently reviewing the case and in the event that any action is required, we will address it promptly."

Galpin Ford GTR1 supercar debuts in Monterey

Fri, 16 Aug 2013

Galpin Auto Sports has finally taken the wraps off the car we first previewed back in December, the Galpin Ford GTR1. A few weeks ago, we posted the first hints of just what the GTR1 would be capable of, with Galpin teasing that its 5.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 would produce in excess of 1000 horsepower, with a top speed of 225 miles per hour. Package all that in a coachbuilt body, and you have the recipe for one wicked supercar.
The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000.
Now, we have all the glorious details. Galpin is targeting a production run of six cars, but if interest is strong enough, will expand its initial quote to 24 vehicles. The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000. Opting for the aluminum bodywork could lower that, although it's not immediately clear by how much.
