This is a 1982 Fairmont Futura Coupe. It's a true survivor. I think I may be the third owner. The original owner drove it back and forth to work, about 30 mi. a day. The speedo says 82xxx mi. which I think are probably original. I acquired it through a trade, but have too many cars and so it needs to go to a new owner. It has the 2.3 four cylinder with a 4-speed manual trans. It runs fine and I wouldn't be afraid to drive it anywhere. The engine doesn't smoke or have any noises, the trans shifts just fine. The previous owner told me that he replaced the differential with an 8.8, instead of the stock one. He was planning to drop in a 302. I drove it for a while with no problems. The gauges all work, the interior is pretty nice with just one split on the side of the drivers seat. The vinyl for the headliner is gone. I suppose the glue dried up. The cardboard is intact and in good shape. There is one split on the dash pad, drivers side, but not bad. I put on the mag wheels. The tires are o.k. It has air shocks.
The body is very solid on this one with no rust through. The spots you see are only surface rust. There is no rust through underneath. It would be a great candidate for a hot rod or just do a quick paint job and drive it the way it is.
I'm starting it at a low price and selling it at NO RESERVE!. We all know how we hate reserve auctions. At least I do. I will accept cash, a good Cashiers Check or Postal Money Order. Please, no dreamers or tire kickers. I'm only interested in serious buyers, so make sure that you clear it with momma and have the money available before you bid. Ask any questions long before the end of the auction. The car is being sold "as is." There are no guaranties and no returns of any kind. I expect to hear from the winning bidder within 24 hr. of the auctions end and full payment is due within 5 days. The car can stay here for 30 days if it is paid for.
A note to scammers. I just successfully won a case against a scammer who is now sitting in jail. So, don't even think about it. I'm an honest person and I expect you to be the same. Good luck bidding!
Attention: If you are a first time bidder, please contact me first or I will cancel your bid.

More evidence GT500-replacement will be named GT350
Tue, 17 Dec 2013During the recent unveiling of the 2015 Ford Mustang, we saw the car in both V6 and GT form, but we'll have to wait a little bit longer to see the successor to the Shelby GT500. In the meantime, though, it looks like SVTPerformance.com has confirmed reports that this high-performance model will bring the Shelby GT350 name back to Ford.
According to the forum post, a user found the Shelby GT350 name on a Ford promo website listing its 2015 lineup. The Shelby GT350 name was first used on a Mustang back in 1965, and most recently it has been a model created for customers as a post-title purchase by Shelby American. As for that car, Shelby confirmed earlier in the year that its GT350 would be phased out at the end of this month.
The million-dollar question for Mustang and Shelby enthusiasts is when we'll see next factory Shelby GT350. Last we heard it was planned for a debut at the New York Auto Show. We've included our previous spy shots of this hi-po, sixth-gen Mustang, and we've also captured it on spy video showing off its exhaust note.
Ford board pushing Mulally for decision amidst fears story is drowning out other news
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Automakers and their executives rarely like to divulge information regarding future goings on, but the board of directors at Ford sound like they're getting a little antsy about chief executive officer Alan Mulally and his plans for 2014.
According to Reuters, as news of Mulally's possible departure to Microsoft continues to swirl, Ford's board is looking to push the affable executive to make a decision about his future sooner rather than later. Apparently, the board is growing concerned that this will-he/won't-he drama may end up distracting the media from covering Ford's other big news events next year - items like the debut of key all-new products like the Mustang and F-150.
So far, the picture for Mulally's eventual successor remains fuzzy, but it's understood that the leading candidate remains the company's chief operating officer, Mark Fields. Just recently, we heard that Mulally will stay until the end of 2014, but a few months ago, Ford seemed open to the idea of him stepping down earlier than that.
Barrett-Jackson 2014: First production 2015 Ford Mustang earns $300k for JDRF [w/video]
Sat, 18 Jan 2014We've almost become immune to the huge dollar amounts that collectible cars earn for charity at Barrett-Jackson. To wit, $300,000 for the first production 2015 Ford Mustang initially didn't seem like very much money. In reality, though, it's probably about 10 times the actual asking price for the car, and we're pleased to report that 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
According to Ford, the car's winning bidder will get to "choose a fastback with manual or automatic transmission, and any interior, exterior and stripe color combination offered by Ford on the all-new Mustang." Power will come from a slightly revised version of the well-known 5.0-liter V8 engine that will produce "more than 420hp and 396 pound-feet of torque."
We snapped live images of the 2015 Mustang prototype that Ford had on display here at Barrett-Jackson, and you can check them out above. The official auction description, along with a video of the auction as it happened live, is below.
