I am selling this car for my father. He is 89 years young and has dementia. He built this car about 7 years ago to drive and enjoy. I helped with a lot of the work so I know the car well and I will be totally honest. The good : this was originally a 6 cylinder car and he put everthing from a 65 comet in it to convert it to a V8 car. It even has the Comet steering column and steering wheel in it. It has a 289 with a c4. The motr runs pretty good but it is a little cold blooded. once it warms up for a few minutes it does better. The car has only been driven about 30 miles over the last three years. The car gets a lot of looks and has overall good appeal. The interior has JC Whittney seat covers and door panels. There is a new black dearborn dash pad that was put on right before he stoped driving. The quarter panels were repaired welding in new patch panels. The windshield wipers and the am radio do work in this car. As does the dome light. The four tires on the ground were replasced about 2 years ago and still have the stubbys sticking out the top.
The bad : When the car was done, there floor pans were rusty and the rust was cut out. Instead of welding in new floor pans, he opted to screw down patch panels. He tared it in so it don't leak and the floors are solid. The drivers side rear frame rail had some rust and he cut it out and installed a new piece. He could afford to have the bumpers chrome plated so he opted to paint the existing ones. The bolts were welded to the bumper and shaved off for a cleaner look. The bumpers will unbolt so chrome ones can be put back on at a later date. The glass is all good but there is overspray residue on the front windshield. Not real bad but on a summer morning or evening it may come into play. The power styeering pump leaks. A new one can be bought for about $250. The rear end did come from another falcon that had a automatic transmission. It works fine. The front fenders do have some bondo in them on the leading edge from rust above the headlights but it is not easy to see. Again, i am trying to be totally honest here. The engine compartment is not detailed out but is presentable. The driver side valve cover started leaking resently and i haven't tried to tighten it down yet. It will need a new gasket I'm sure. The brake pads are good, but I noticed the master cylinder and wheel cylinders were rebuilt, not replaced. I would recommend whoever buys this car to upgrade to a dual master cylinder in place of the single.
I will answer all questions |

Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]
Sun, 08 Dec 2013The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.
