Please read the entire description if you are considering bidding on this car. I am listing this car for a friend. It has been owned by him or one of his family members for over thirty years. In the mid 1980's it was his daily driver. During that time a low mileage 1985 or 86 Mustang GT engine was installed along with a C4 automatic transmission. In the late 80's early 90's the car came off the road and went to another family member as a father son project. A Ford eight inch five lug rear and five lug front spindles donated from a 70's Maverick or Granada were installed. Eventually it was returned to the current and former owner who I am listing it for. It has been registered in New York in his name the whole time. It comes with a clear transferable N.Y. registration. Cars this old are not titled in New York. It is a nice body style with the hardtop no post roof. It would make a good father son project. It would not take much to get it on the road and use it while you work on it. Most of what it needs is labor. Also if you keep it in this condition or improve it I think it will continue to hold it's value as they are getting harder to find. Although it needs some work it is solid where it needs to be solid. The torque boxes, rocker panels, radiator support, battery box area, rear rails and trunk floor all look good. The dash is original and has not been cut for a aftermarket stereo. The body looks solid around the front and rear windows. I tried to add as many pictures of these areas as I could. It is solid along the drip rails but I did find two small spots where the paint had chipped off and the body rusted. I will get a better picture of that and add it during the auction. I have plenty of pictures and can take more if needed for specific areas or questions. The engine fires up and sounds very good on a separate gas container. The gas tank needs to be flushed or replaced. I think the tank is the same as early Mustang but am not 100 percent sure. The brakes are not working the pedal goes to the floor. It has had some previous work floors. The worst part of the car is the area under the rear seat where some patch work is needed. The car is structurally sound and could be driven as is once the mechanical issues are resolved. Some time spent with some sheet metal and a MIG machine would make a huge improvement in this car and it's value. It has bucket seats from another car that are in fair but very usable condition. The back seat is not currently in the pictures but it is there in good condition along with front kick panels and door sill plates. The steel channel on the front was bolted to the bumper bracket holes to move the car around without damaging it. I make every effort to describe and picture my items accurately, if you have questions please ask. The car is for sale locally in eastern Long Island N.Y. and the auction may end at any time. The car can be viewed by appointment. The car must be paid for in full and picked up no later than end of day Sunday July 7th unless other arrangements are mutually agreed to prior to auction ending.

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
Ford gets its Movement on, releases 'Sounds of Focus' tracks
Sun, 25 May 2014Ford has, for at least the second year in a row, teamed up with techno promoter Paxahau and a couple of artists to make music in recognition of the Detroit Movement music festival. This time, Movement performers Ataxia and Secrets were selected by Ford, and were invited to spend some time at the automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant, which gives birth to the Ford Focus and Focus Electric models.
Now that we know the what, how about the why? According to Ford, "Detroit is uniquely tied to the origins of the electronic music scene. In the 1980's variations of electronic music stemmed from inspirations of industry, including the automotive sector." So, there you go. If you're interest is piqued, feel free to read the press release, watch the video and listen to the tracks below.
Detroit 3 and UAW set for showdown over tiered wages
Mon, Mar 23 2015This week, thousands of United Auto Workers will converge on Cobo Center in Detroit for the Special Convention on Collective Bargaining, an every-four-year event that lets members tell UAW leaders what the negotiating priorities should be during contract negotiations. This is where a lot of sand and a lot of lines start coming together in preparation for contract negotiations between the UAW and the Detroit 3 automakers, which will happen later this year. Number one on the UAW agenda is the end of the two-tier wage system created in 2007 to help the automakers get through bankruptcy; veteran workers are paid the Tier 1 rate of around $29.00 per hour, new hires are paid the Tier 2 rate of between $15 and $20 and get about half the benefits of Tier 1. Tier 2 hiring has been an undoubted success for the automakers, allowing them to keep factories in the US and hire more workers. By agreement, it is capped at a certain percentage of each automaker's workforce, and while the union's ultimate position is to get rid of the dual-scale system entirely; one leader said Ford could easily afford the $335 million it would take to convert all its workers to Tier 1 out of its $6.9 billion in 2014 North American profit, and General Motors could do the same out of the $5 billion it is handing to investors through the (admittedly forced) share buyback. Other delegates say that at the very least they'd be happy with enforcement of the current caps in the new contract. The automakers, conversely, would welcome expansion of the Tier 2 ranks. Including benefits, import automakers pay workers "in the high $40 range" per hour, according to an analyst, while Ford and GM pay about $59 in wages and benefits per hour. More Tier 2 workers on the rolls would let those two companies get labor cost parity with the competition. Fiat-Chrysler pays wages closer to the imports because of special exceptions in its UAW contract that allow unlimited Tier 2 hiring; those exceptions will end on September 14 and bring FCA into line with the other domestics, unless the new contract maintains them. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne is opposed to the two-tier system, having called it "almost offensive." One analyst says the UAW might win a sizable pay raise for Tier 2 and a small increase for Tier 1, but the keystone issue will be how the hiring matrix can help the automakers keep overall wages in line with the imports.
