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 investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall
Tue, Apr 7 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.
Cheap gas has Ford investors nervous over 2015 F-150
Wed, Dec 17 2014Gasoline in the US continues its weeks-long descent with prices down about 13 cents a gallon over last week to $2.544, which is lower by around 69 cents/gallon from this time last year, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Many drivers are welcoming the lower bills at the gas station as a fantastic holiday gift, but Ford investors are somewhat spooked over the potential sales implications for the 2015 F-150. Market analyst Rod Lache of Deutsche Bank recently downgraded Ford's stock from a buy to hold, according to TheDetroitBureau.com, and his report to investors may have played a part in a drop in the company's share price. Lache praised the truck's powertrain and lightweight technology, but wrote, "We question whether consumers will pay the price for this content with $2-$3 gas," in his report, according to the website. Whether buyers actually turn away from the F-150 is mostly speculative at this point because it only recently began production. With around 700 pounds of weight loss thanks in parts to its new aluminum parts, the latest Ford pickup offers up to 26 miles per gallon on the highway, plus segment-best payload and towing ratings. Prices are up somewhat in part to pay for additional standard features, though. Still, any further dip in Ford's stock is bad news this year. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the company's shares are down about 7.5 percent this year. On December 15, the price fell to $14.28, the lowest since November 10. Related Video:
'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed
Sat, 14 Jun 2014Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."
