Comments:
---Radiator - original, (rare) looks decent
---Radiator shield - very nice original
---Headlights - very decent, no reflectors
---Tail light - none
---Motor - the one in the car is stuck

This is the motor that I took the VIN number from - it was hard to see, so it may not be perfect.
---Bumpers - both front and back are present.
---Seats - 3 seat frames are present, no springs as it is better to purchase new ones.
---Rear Fenders - both are decent with hidden weld underneath, not visible on top.
One has a hole where the tail light would fasten.
---Front Fenders - one with no weld, but some cracks near area of running boards.
One with a 4" crack thru the bead.
---Hood - very nice, no weld, all handles and parts present.
---Gas tank -- looks good and solid
---Windshield frame - looks good.
---Doors - one has a dent and is solid
One has no dent, but rust out on bottom.
---Cowl - solid with rust out on bottoms of both sides.
---Areas under rear fenders - no rust out - typically there is rust out here.
---Floor - metal looks decent
- wood on one side looks decent, one side needs replacing.
- wood on sides, look decent
- wood around top - needs replacing.
----Top metal - one side and back have holes or rust out.
----rims - nice
---Title - THERE IS NO TITLE BUT I HAD TO PUT SOMETHING IN
THAT REQUIRED AREA TO SATISFY EBAY.- there was not
a "no title" option available.
This is a decent car to restore or rod, and when done, you will not find many (or any) cars as rare as this one.

Ford, Samsung shack up to bring regen braking to non-hybrid models [w/video]
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Ford must be desperate to get itself ready for the beach this summer because it is really trying to get into shape. Shortly after unveiling the Lightweight Concept that cut the weight of a Fusion down to that of a Fiesta, it's now the rest of the line's turn for improvement. The company is wrapping up a 10-year research project aimed at developing next-gen automotive batteries to improve efficiency.
Ford claims that 70 percent of its lineup will have stop/start tech by 2017. The key to this massive proliferation is its new dual-battery system that combines a lithium-ion battery with a lead-acid one and regenerative braking. The setup works by harvesting braking energy and converting it to electricity. When the vehicle stops, the engine shuts off, but the Li-ion battery has enough juice to keep the accessories running. The engine starts up again as drivers take their foot off the brake. The layout would mean less wasted gas while idling. It's already available on Ford hybrids and is somewhat similar to the i-Eloop capacitor-based system from Mazda.
The bigger challenge is tuning the regenerative braking right. While hybrid drivers may be a little more adventurous, when it comes to getting a hang of regen braking, conventional buyers might not be so open-minded. The systems have a tendency to be a little grabby at first and then taper off at very low speeds. Ford needs to make sure it's just right to avoid turning off buyers.

Ford nets $5.7B in 2012, $1.6B in fourth quarter
Tue, 29 Jan 2013Ford brought in $5.7 billion in net income during 2012, which is around $307 million less than one year prior. Even so, the automaker closed out 2012 with the highest pre-tax profit for a single quarter in nearly 10 years, earning $1.7 billion in the fourth quarter thanks largely to a higher-than-average truck mix in the US. That's a jump of $577 million over 2011. Likewise, that translated into fourth quarter income of $1.6 billion. All told, Ford set a full-year pre-tax profit record in 2012. But that doesn't necessarily mean everything is rosy in the land of the Blue Oval.
Like every other manufacturer, 2012 saw Ford get hammered in the European Union, where a deep economic recession continues to drive down consumer confidence. The automaker lost more than $700 million in Europe, and saw full revenue of $26.6 billion in 2012. That's a decline of $7.2 billion compared to last yea. Ford says the market for new vehicles in Europe has contracted to 13.5 million units, the lowest number in 17 years. You can read the full press release below for more information.
