I REMOVED THE ENGINE AND HAD IT PROFESSIONALLY REBUILT (See pics of engine coming out). WHILE THE ENGINE WAS REMOVED , I DETAILED THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT (see pics of firewall painting), REPLACED SEVERAL WIRING HARNESSES, NEW BATTERY TRAY, NEW BATTERY AND BATTERY HOLD DOWN, NEW BATTERY CABLES. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS SPENT AT LARRYS, TEE-BIRD PRODUCTS, DENNIS CARPENTER, PLUS INDIVIDUAL PARTS SUPPLIERS FOR NEW ORIGINAL PARTS.  NEED PROOF, I WILL CONVEY ALL PARTS INVOICES TO THE BUYER.

THE PAINT JOB IS ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD AND IT STILL HOLDS A NICE SHINE. I RECENTLY HAD A PROFESSIONAL PAINTER TOUCH UP A FEW FLAWS IN THE PAINT. INCLUDED WITH THE CAR ARE BOTH CANS OF COMPUTERIZED MATCHED BLUE AND WHITE PAINT. BOTH VENT WINDOWS ARE ORIGINAL AND THEY HAVE DEVELOPED AIR BUBBLES, THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. 

HEY, CHECK OUT THE ' 56 MERCURY COLOR DIVIDER SS TRIM I ADDED JUST UNDER THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS (see pics of painting). THIS TRIM IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE, BUT IT ADDS SUCH A NICE TOUCH TO THE '56 VICKY AS DOES THE ORIGINAL "DOG DISH" F O R D HUBCAPS. (I have two of the original full wheel Ford hubcaps) 

I ADDED NEW CORRECT OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS, NEW CORRECT ANTENNA, NEW STONE GUARDS ON THE FENDER SKIRTS, NEW TRUNK EMBLEM BEZEL, NEW "FAIRLANE" HOOD SCRIPT, NEW TRUNK MAT, (the white color on the matt is a camera shadow), CORRECT ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE RETAINER AND WING NUT, NEW HEATER CORE, THE RADIATOR WAS SENT OUT AND RESTORED, 4 NEW RADIAL WIDE WHITEWALLTIRES. THE ORIGINAL AM RADIO IS THE DESIRED "TOWN & COUNTRY STYLE. THERE IS ALSO IS AN AFTER MARKET AM/FM RADIO WITH DUAL REAR SPEAKERS GIVING THE VICKY SOME COOL TUNES.

THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS SOLID AND ABSOLUTLY NO RUST. I HAVE NOT DETAILED TOO MUCH OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE BUT I DID PAINT A COAT OF POR-15 CHASSIC FENDER BLACK PAINT ON THE BUMPER BRACKETS, FRAME, CROSS MEMBERS, AND AND LEAF SPRINGS. THERE IS STILL SIGNS OF OIL THAT LEAKED FROM THE ENGINE PRIOR TO THE  REMOVAL AND REBUILD. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE REBUILT ENGINE DOES NOT LEAK A DROP OF OIL ! 

MY RESERVE IS LOW ENOUGH TO ALLOW PLENTY OF $$ ROOM TO DETAIL THE UNDERCARRIAGE CORRECTLY AND REPLACE THE VENT WINDOWS.

I HAVE DONE MY BEST TO BRING THIS VICTORIA BACK TO IT'S ORGINAL BEAUTY OF YESTERYEAR

I WILL HAVE THE VICKY AT CARLISLE PA. FOR THE FORD NATIONALS ON JUNE 6TH -  8TH.   CAR CORRAL # R 22 JUST OUTSIDE THE TITLE OFFICE

I CAN BE REACHED AT 757-620-7733, Thanks for looking, Charlie

Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.

This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.

Ford forced to recall Escape over fire risk yet again

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Recalls happen. Automakers hope they won't, but they do. And that's alright, for the most part, because cars are designed (and to a large degree still made) by humans, and humans make mistakes. So we forgive them, as long as the problem is resolved. Only in the case of the Ford Escape, the problem seems to keep coming back.
That's why Ford is calling in the Escape yet again due to fire concerns. The issue revolves around problematic fuel lines in 9,469 units manufactured between October 5, 2011, and July 11, 2012, all of which use the 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine.
As you yourself may recall, the Escape was subject to a string of recalls last year that resulted in a $17 million fine. One of them was over this very same issue, which Ford apparently didn't rectify the first time around. Let's hope this time is the last time.
