This is a factory "A" Code 4 Speed GT car in Poppy Red. VIN # 5F07A692233 is clearly on the drivers side shock tower (see picture). The VIN plate is missing on the dash and drivers side door. It has a clear Delaware title under the previous owners name which I will be getting put in to my name sometime this week. The car was last tagged in 02 and has sat since then. We drained the gas tank,had the Holley single pump professionally rebuilt locally by Stinger Engines,new Autolite plugs installed,changed the oil and filter and put a new fuel filter in(canister type). It runs a little rough before it warms up but idles smoothly once warm.I never adjusted the points or put a dwell meter on it,just set the timing.It does not knock or smoke. The engine is stock with the exception it has a Holley 600 CFM Single pumper Carburetor with a low rise old school aluminum intake. There is also a Lakewood blow proof bell housing with stock cast iron exhaust manifolds and dual exhaust with the trumpets coming out the back.As far as I know the engine has never been apart and it still has the 65 style canister type fuel filter.The exhaust is quiet and there are no tapping lifters .The clutch has some travel before releasing but it is not slipping or chattering.It has the factory T Handle shifter and will drive down the road. It stops and steers and has the factory Kelsey Hayes 4 piston brakes up front. The car is very solid along with the frame rails and floors,shock towers,quarter panels both inside and out and the trunk floor. If you have restored one you know this is where the problem areas are. The right front fender is bubbled on the lower end (see picture) and should be replaced.There is also some surface rust under the rear window molding (see picture). The car looks great from 20 feet away, although it does need waxed and could use a paint job. There is a big scrape on the drivers side top fender and hood and part of the cowl panel where something must of fell on it (not dented). The wheels are rusty from sitting,I had to repair one flat tire and amazingly it had a original center cap not a repo. There is an extra styled steel wheel with tire in excellent condition in the trunk. Missing jack and hold down. The tires do hold air but have some cracking from age and should be replaced along with the wheels. The odometer reads 91,509 which I believe to be original since the title I had when last registered on 6/8/02 had 87,283 on it.The interior will need the carpet replaced since it is faded and torn. Also the drivers seat needs recovered.It has the deluxe wood grain 140 MPH speedometer and wood grain glove box. Standard seats and door panels with deluxe door handles.Aftermarket steering wheel (I have the original black wheel with horn ring included) and power steering.It has aftermarket seat belts and the back deck panel just below the rear window is cut and has aftermarket 6X9 speakers in it. There is a aftermarket Mustang cassette radio in it with some wires hanging from under the dash from the radio. I also have the original AM Radio included. Has the original Fog light switch under the dash (pictured). Will need some wiring work turn signals not working as well as some other things. This would be a very easy restoration on a very desireable solid car which is hard to find. Would make a great father son project. Once again this is a car that needs restored and needs mostly cosmetics such as outside door handles, gas cap, back up lamps that have pitting and are a easy fix. The bumpers are decent driver quality as well as the fog lamps that say fog on them and are not cracked. I put new tail light doors on with Ford part #s and one of the lenses is a little faded.E-Mail me with any questions before bidding or you can reach me on my cell at (302)222-5881.Please ask your wife ,husband partner or whoever before bidding and only bid if you have the money.We take our auctions seriosely and have a 100% feedback.A $500 pay-pal deposit is due 5 days after auction end with the balance being wired to our account within 10 days of auction end.We will provide you with a routing number and account number after auction ends.

Jeremy Clarkson chooses his top 10 cars for 2015 and 2016
Mon, Aug 15 2016Jeremy Clarkson is well-known for his role as co-host on the old Top Gear. But the frontman of the upcoming Amazon Prime Show, The Grand Tour, also has a standing column for The Sunday Times in the UK where he reviews the latest cars. With fall nearing, Clarkson put out a list of his top-10 cars from this year and 2015. Some on the list will surprise you, while others represent everything we've come to love about Clarkson. In order to make his list of star cars, the vehicles must offer what co-host James May calls "the fizz." The vehicles, Clarkson claims, have something that is out of the ordinary. Whether it's the car's looks, the way it gets up to speed, or its high-tech gadgets, Clarkson's top-10 list is made up of items that are more than just tools for getting from point A to B. So which ones made the list? Head over to the column in The Sunday Times.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
