This is a nice car that has already had some restoration. I got it thinking I would finish it one day, but never had the time. Now I just need money, so this would be a great project for somebody who has the time and money to invest in it.
In the pictures this car looks fantastic but some of the pictures fail to show the minor damage on the body. Most of the panels have been replaced previously except the door skins. They are bubbling up with rust. I have one new replacement door skin that just needs to be put on and painted. I also had the paint matched so that the whole car wouldn't need to be repainted. (Paint included). There are a few other areas that have some damage and need repair. The driver door needed a spring so that it wouldn't open out so far. We replaced the door spring but it did cause a spot where the door opened too far and hit the door (which will be repaired when you replace the door skin). Also there's several scratches on the rear panel where someone rubbed along a fence. There are several other nicks in the paint that need to be retouched. The interior has also been replaced previously. Still looks great the carpet is fading though. The car is kept under a carport because it leaks water in around the windshield or cowl, not sure where it's coming in at. The floorboards are solid as I said before they were replaced previously also. This is an automatic 302. I believe originally it was a 6-cylinder. This was a basic car with no options originally. When it was restored it had top-of-the-line engine parts put in! The engine looks great and runs strong. I noticed the engine has a little vibration when running not sure why. It runs good though. We drove it for an entire weekend at a car show 45 minute drive to and from, and it didn't give us any trouble at all! It might need a carburetor. Sometimes it's slow to start. But once it's warmed up it's fine. It needs shocks and/or struts because if anyone sits in the backseat if you go over a bump it rubs the tires. This car has nice aluminum Torque Thrust wheels! The tires still have plenty of tread. This car doesn't have an air conditioner. But the heat works. The radio doesn't work. I don't think the mileage is correct. Needs a turn signal handle. Some of the gauges don't don't work. This car doesn't have seat belts, it never had them. I can't think of anything else to say right now, but please ask any questions you may have. I described this car to the best of my knowledge. Due to the age of this car it is being sold as-is. Please see full description and all photos before purchasing. I am not liable for any repairs. Any repairs that need to be done will be the buyers responsibility. If I failed to list something that is found wrong after purchase, I cannot be held liable. Please understand that this is an old vehicle and although it was fully restored some time ago (not sure exactly when) it needs some work. I can send more photos on request through email. Will deliver car up to 200 miles. |

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting
Tue, 13 May 2014It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit can haul on the track
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Line up any two comparable vehicles, and eople are going to want to race them. Need proof? In its latest track battle, Auto Express wants to know which commercial vehicle can lap a circuit faster - a Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Let's face it, neither of these European vans were ever meant to be near the track unless they are delivering a racecar and a ton of parts for a fun weekend, but it's massively fun to watch them give it a go anyway.
The one thing that Auto Express really illustrates here is the modern marvel that is stability control. The driver hops curves, and these big vans lean in the corners like your friend walking home from a long night at the bar. However, because of the amazing stability systems, the vans mostly keep all of their wheels planted and never seem close to getting sloppy, despite their behemoth size.
Unfortunately, the two vans aren't exactly fairly paired. The Ford has a dual rear axle and a few other advantages over the Mercedes, but it's still hilarious to watch them go. Even better, the host breaks down everything happening behind the wheel like these commercial vehicles were two Porsches. Enjoy watching this very unorthodox battle between Ford and Mercedes.
