1968 Ford Mustang on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Oregon, United States
More infos regarding my car at: evelyne.toro@expressmail.dk .
I have the Elite Marti Report. I have the title.
This mustang is one of Ford's "Color of the Month" promotional cars. The original color is "Coral". (This is
documented on the Marti Report as special paint. Also there is no paint code on the door plate).
This car was originally purchased by Marck Motors in El Cajon, CA to be used as a Thrifty Automotive Group (TAG)
Rent-a-Car. (This is documented on the Marti Report original window sticker).
This car is stock with the exception of a mild transmission shift kit and "Classis Auto Air" A/C compressor.
Driven a little over 300 Miles on professionally restored / rebuilt, new mechanicals. The engine was ran on a
Dyno to break it in prior to install in the car. (I have the paperwork)
Numbers matching, engine and transmission with stamped VIN. Engine, Transmission and Rear Axle metal tags match
components. (I personally verified this).
Over $23,000 spent on restoration projects. I have the receipts and an outlined spreadsheet which show detailed
costs.
All of the mechanicals were professionally restored / rebuilt and assembled. Paperwork on request.
Here are a few items that were professionally restored / rebuilt or factory style installed new. Engine,
Original carburetor, radiator, Original distributor(with Pertronix), voltage regulator, starter solenoid, Autolite
battery, transmission, front and rear complete brakes including the master cylinder and booster, front and rear
suspension including shocks, Original driveline, rear axle bearings and seals, complete exhaust system which is
factory style dual. Complete "Classic Auto Air" Heat and A/C system minus the dash control which is original.
Classic Auto Air restored the heater A/C box. Power steering pump and alternator. Carpet, with no rust underneath.
Starter, torque converter and flywheel.
The paint is in good condition but dated. If I kept it, I would have it painted.
The glass appears original by the markings. The door felt is new and all of the window mechanisms have been
reworked/fixed. The rear window seal is new. The front windshield seal needs replaced, which I have the seal, just
needs done.
All interior, exterior and dash lights/dummy lights work.
All Gauges work.
AM Radio works.
No rust, solid body car.
It's believed that the cars mileage of 68,100 is correct. The person who appraised it (Aldridge Motorsports)
felt it was probably correct based on the condition.

More than 800,000 Fords recalled for faulty Takata airbags
Thu, Jan 12 2017The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants.

Injuries/Deaths: Ford stated in a press release that there have been no injuries or death linked to the vehicles in this recall. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags.

Ford to pay $17.35 million over Escape recall
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Ford had a bit of a recall spree around this time last year, with a pair of issues on the then-new 2013 Escape, followed by a recall of 423,000 2001 to 2004 Escapes because they might accelerate of their own accord. Accordingly, Uncle Sam pasted Ford with a $17.35 million fine because it took too long to inform customers, according to a report from Automotive News.
Ford agreed to settle with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, accepting the fine but not admitting fault. The recall, which afflicted Escapes with the 3.0-liter V-6 along with 217,000 Mazda Tributes from 2001 to 2006 and 2008, was due to faulty gas pedals that could stay down after a driver removed their foot.
Ford issued a statement regarding the fine, saying, "We take the safety of our customers seriously and continuously evaluate our processes for improvements. While we are confident in our current processes for quickly identifying and addressing potential vehicle issues, Ford agreed to this settlement to avoid a lengthy dispute with the government."
How and why Ford is rolling out Vignale in Europe
Wed, 09 Oct 2013
We know that Ford is positioning the new, upscale Vignale brand in Europe to fill a niche market of customers who want a bit more luxury, a lot more service and the same reliability and dependability that a non-Vignale Ford offers. But so far, we've been in the dark regarding how the Blue Oval will sell Vignale vehicles, how many of them will be created, and what the new sub-brand has in store for the future.
Gaetano Thorel, Ford's European marketing head, recently was interviewed by Automotive News and shared details about Ford Vignale. Thorel says, "The Vignale trim line will be priced like an ST model but attract a completely different type of customer." Specifically, he says it will attract customers in the upper 15 percent of the price band who don't want a performance-oriented ST model. He adds that Vignale cars will be about 10 percent more expensive than Titanium-trim cars. About 500 of Ford's European dealers will sell Vignale Fords, Thorel says, "in areas that make sense." The automaker expects 10 percent of its European sales to be Vignale cars, which equates to about 5 percent of its global sales. When asked if there are any other Vignale models planned beyond the Mondeo, Thorel said, "There is nothing written in stone yet."
