This project is WELL on it's way (as you can see by the photos) to becoming a nice ride once again.

The body has only a few places that need to be worked out. I can't say how fast or slow it will take to knock it all out, but I estimate between one to five full days depending on what level restoration you want. The only rust out is the driver floor board. New sheet metal is included with the project for that repair.

The exterior aluminum trim pieces have a few dings but a repairable.

Just about the only gear left to buy to complete the interior is the seat covers, but if you're going to go that route, you could use new seat cushions. I don't have the package tray or the optional dash-pad either. Included is just about all the new rubber (grommets, door seals, window seals, bumpers, etc.), if there are any missing, it isn't much. The carpet is new and rolled up, headliner is the cream crater. door panels are still in the plastic, opened, but still there. I sprang for the higher quality window felt. There is also wind lace, but I am not 100% sure it was the original color for the Palomino interior.

There is a new gas tank not installed yet. The wheels are good but could use a clean-up. The tires have held air for over a year sitting inside. I drove it up to the building but it coughed up and died. Turns out the carburetor that was on it was junk and rigged up. I bought the original model carb that happened to be in the original box. I have the right carb spacer. It was nasty, so I cleaned, glass blasted it and honed it a little. I cleaned the fouled platinum plugs and re-installed them (have a set of Iridium plugs NIB). The Edelbrock cleaner cover is blank finned, it doesn't have the Edelbrock logo written across it. If you want to use it on the carb, you'll need an adapter, the inside diameter of the cover is too large for the OD on the carb. The filter is a K&N. The plug wires installed are new, as is the regulator. I also have a new distributor cap installed. The Pertronix Ignitor kit is still in the box. The valve cover was lightly blasted and repainted with high temp red crackle paint.

There is a wolf whistle under the hood. Again, all the hood rubber is included. As far as the old parts, there is a bunch of them, in fact most everything you need is there except a good windshield, the Ford tail letters, and the chrome spears.

Most of the receipts are included. Which total around $1800. There are several parts included that there is no receipt for. The paperwork to file for a bonded title is included. I have owned the car for about two years now, the previous owner had the car for about the same length. The information for the previous owner to that is in the paperwork I have from the State of Texas. I will even forward the correspondence I have to a title company that I was going to use.

That covers most of it.

Please ask any questions and post any concerns you have before the end of the sale.

Thank you kindly.

Tanner Foust tackles 'Ring in SVT Raptor

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

Here's a math problem: if Tanner Foust has a 24 hours to kill in Germany and one blue Ford Raptor, how long will it take him to decide he wants to lap The Nürburgring? Extra credit if you can get your answer precise to the millisecond.
A very truck-like and slidey lap of the 'Ring is exactly what happened when the Ford-sponsored rallycross driver took time off from set-up duties for his 'day job.' Thankfully no one even thought to worry about posting a time, but you can watch some Raptor skid marks getting laid down between the kerbs in the video below.

Ford opens 88 new dealerships in China in a single day

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

"Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last year." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China during the first half of 2014." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last month." None of those statements - even the last one - would seem unbelievable. Saying "Ford opened up 88 dealerships in China last Thursday," though, is a bit more dramatic.
Yes, on June 19 alone, Ford opened the doors on nearly 100 showrooms in the People's Republic, boosting the Blue Oval's total presence in the country to 750 dealerships. Of course, while an overabundance of dealers in the US proved troublesome for American manufacturers back in 2008 and 2009, there's no such concern in China. Considering the country's huge population and the breakneck pace of the local auto industry, you could be forgiven for being surprised Ford only has 750 outlets at this stage.
What's notable about this most recent push, besides the sheer volume of new stores, is their location. Over three-quarters of the new dealerships are in so-called Tier 4 cities, which are smaller towns that still contain millions of people. This fits with Ford's strategy in China of avoiding the bigger battlegrounds that are already dominated by competitors and focusing on setting up shop in newer markets that may have been overlooked, according to Automotive News.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
