1959 ford 2 door ranch wagon.
This car is a very solid car originally from California. It has the original 300hp 352. The trans has been upgraded to a C6. It runs and drives beautifully. We have driven this a lot and it has been very reliable for us. We have taken several family vacations in it. The paint and interior were done about 15 years ago. If you are looking for perfection this is probably not for you, but it is priced accordingly. If you are looking for an awesome car that is very solid and reliable and a ton of fun to take to on the road, to local cruises, car shows, and attract lots of attention than this is perfect!! We get told often it looks perfect, but it has it's defects and I just want to be up front about them. Like I said it is a very sound good car I just do not want there to be surprises.
All in all this is a very nice driver quality old car. It is very solid underneath and is not a typical Midwest bondo filled rust bucket. It gets TONS of attention everywhere we take it. Seriously we can't drive it 10 miles without getting honks and thumbs ups from other drivers. The car was also used in a Budweiser car calendar in 2011. Will include a copy if you want one. The car has been in the Midwest for roughly 6 years and has never seen salt or snow.
New Parts:
Aluminum radiator (have original as well)
Carburetor (have original as well)
electronic ignition
tires
shocks and front suspension components
Issues:
speedometer usually does not work
radio usually does not work (original am)
uses as little oil, does NOT smoke (nothing alarming typical old car stuff)
leaks some oil (nothing alarming typical old car stuff)
Paint is 15 years old and has a few minor dings and touch ups
Has typical old car interior squeaks and rattles (again nothing major, but they are there like any old car)
Vacuum wipers only work sometimes (we try to avoid rain and use rain-x...never been an issue)

Shelby boosts production of 575-hp Raptor on early demand
Mon, 08 Apr 2013Shelby American unveiled its all-new Shelby Raptor at the New York Auto Show last month, saying that it would build just 100 examples of its off-road bad boy, a pickup priced at $17,995 over the cost of the donor Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. But the Las Vegas outfit apparently underestimated just how popular the supercharged 575-horsepower 4x4 would actually be.
Strong early demand reportedly has Shelby singing a whole new tune, as the company is now saying it will build upwards of 500 units annually. While the increased production will likely make for at least 400 more happy owners, those who were on the original short list - possibly speculating on future values - might not be grinning as much. Needless to say, the company has assured everyone that each and every one of the modified Raptors will still be listed in the official Shelby registry.
Keep in mind that Ford isn't sitting idle on its trophy-truck-for-the-street, either. The company will reveal its own 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition this month.
Ford evaluating new Fiesta RS?
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Word coming in from across the pond has it that Ford is working on developing the business case to create a new Fiesta RS. The development is encouraged by the extremely positive reception the existing Fiesta ST has garnered to date, and the emergence of the above-pictured Fiesta RS WRC rally car, but it'll take more than goodwill to make a more extreme version a reality.
According to Auto Express, a new roadgoing Fiesta RS would almost certainly be based closely on the ST version, albeit with some vital differences. Its 1.6-liter turbo four would be increased from 180 horsepower to somewhere around 230 hp, and that powertrain would be accompanied by lightweight alloys inside blistered wheel arches, a stripped-out interior and possibly lightweight bodywork.
The vehicle's approval would reportedly require a strong business case in Europe, and not just in the UK where Ford hot hatches traditionally enjoy a strong following. It's unclear whether the Fiesta RS would potentially make the transatlantic voyage to American showrooms, but between it and the larger Focus RS, hopefully the Blue Oval wouldn't leave its home market out of the action altogether.
Ford dealer loses Super Bowl bet, pays $300K to lucky customers [w/video]
Tue, 11 Feb 2014A Missouri Ford dealership's Super Bowl weekend sale cost it big when the improbable happened. Hutcheson Ford ran a promotion from January 29 to February 1, called the Super Weekend Sale. The gist was, if any customer purchased a vehicle between those dates and either the opening or second-half kickoff of the big game was returned for a touchdown, the dealership would refund the purchase price.
In the dealership's defense, it seemed like a safe bet. According to the mathematicians, there was just a 2.5-percent chance of either half opening with a touchdown return. But that didn't stop Seattle's Percy Harvin from doing his part to ruin Denver's evening, returning the second-half kick for an 87-yard touchdown run. Twelve Hutcheson customers were eligible for refunds thanks to the return, with prices ranging from $10,000 to $55,000, according to Automotive News. The total amount shelled out by the dealership? $300,000.
"At least we're not like that furniture guy that lost $7 million," dealership marketing manager Kathleen Frazier told AN. We think it was a big success." The dealership did take out insurance to cover its losses, meaning the $300K won't come entirely from its pockets.
