I just bought this wagon last week because I was going to make it into a surf wagon to take to cruises and shows while I'm building my wifes 1957 Buick Hardtop Riviera coupe. Come to find out, I am not really al lthat interested in the "Surf" theme after all and I think I would be happier with a coupe, so I am selling the wagon, no other reason, that's it.

I have a free and clear Florida title in my name, the car is registered to Florida, I have driven it this last weekend, it drove fine for what it is, a 6cyl, manual steering and drum brake wagon. The motor is a little cold natured, it does run fine once it warms up, the transmission works quite well, it is a 2spd I think, to be honest I never drove it over 45 MPH, so I'm not sure. The steering is a little sloppy, but the are not shakes, rattles or weird things happening in the steering as you drive, it tracks straight, does not shimmy when you hit bumps in the road, it brakes straight and does not pull to the side when you brake. No over haeting that I can tell, no snoke, no weird smells, I just went ahead and had the oild changed and the oil was clean, no worries on the motor or trans, and as stated, the brakews work well for drum manual brakes. I think the steering box needsto be adjusted to remove some of the play in the steering wheel.

All of the gauges appear to work, the A/C blows cool, not ice cold, but I thin kit just needs to be re-charged. All the belts and hoses look good, the radiator and condenser appear to be in good shape. The fuel pump appears to work fine, but I think it could use some tightening of the fuel line, there is a small amount of leakage, nothing freaky, just needs some tightening which I will lokk into this weekend.

The tires appaer to be newer, they are 13", they hold air and ride fine. The body is really pretty good for the age of the car. look at my pictures, I try to show what the bad spots are, the top of the rear quarters fenders have the paint flaking off, and there are two bad spots in the drivers side door and rear door. The pans are very good shape, the doors open and close very well, the interior is in good condition, a couple of small tears , but nothing horrible. All of the glass is good, rolls up and down, the rear tailgate glass does need help getting it up and down, but it does work, I think it needs some lubrecation. the carpet / mats are not great, they could be replaced, the fold down rear set works great, the rear spare and all of the jack and stuff is there, it does rattle a little when you are driving, I will tighten up the mounts,

Overall the car is nice and well worth my reserve. I reserve the right to end the auction early because I do have the car listed locally. I will work with a buyer on shipping. I would be willing to deliver it myself within a 150 mile radius for the buy it now price.

I would be open to trades for a good driver quality 1960 -1963 Falcon coupe, no 4 doors. And maybe a 1960 - 1965 Chevy II coupe. No motorcycles, boats, land or your Mom's Jewlery.

I will be glad to try and answer your questions and Good Luck on the bids.

Ford Explorer is America's new favorite police car

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

There is a new vehicle that you should keep an eye out for when you're going a little too fast down the Interstate. Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility was the bestselling new law enforcement model in the country last year, and signs show that won't be changing anytime soon.
Ford sold 14,086 Interceptor Utilities in 2013, up 140% from the year before, and 10,897 Interceptor Sedans, up 31%, according to USA Today. Overall, the brand's police sales were up 48 percent, and they were enough to boost the company's law enforcement vehicle market share by 9 points to nearly 50 percent.
The success comes just a few years after it made the decision to finally retire the long-serving Crown Victoria-based cruiser for two more modern vehicles. "We had to reinvent the category," said Chris Terry of Ford Communications to Autoblog. The automaker had to convince police departments that a unibody chassis without a V8 could perform better than a model that had been a law enforcement staple for years.

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept is a Gulfstream for the road

Sat, 12 Apr 2014

If you are afraid to fly or just want to arrive at your ultimate destination in absolute comfort, then the Ford Transit Skyliner concept might be the perfect vehicle for you. Built by Galpin Auto Sports and based on a 2015 Transit, the van is basically a private jet on wheels. It even has a touch of Transformers about it with the ability to switch between four modes by pressing a button in a smartphone app.
Based on the long wheelbase, high-roof model with 487 cubic feet of cargo space and 6 feet, 9.5 inches of interior height, the Skyliner has movable captains chairs that shift around among four modes. In theater mode, the seats turn and recline to face a 52-inch retractable movie screen with 7.2 surround sound. For business, a motorized table unfolds, and the chairs gather around it. There is a mode for tailgating where the door opens four-feet wide, and, when traveling, passengers can recline back with footrests that extend for maximum comfort.
To make the ride even plusher, there is a satellite and media server to meet your entertainment needs, and there is even a built-in bar in the back. If this Ford had a bathroom, you could live in it. Of course, you would need to hire a driver to enjoy all the amenities in the back.
