"NO RESERVE" listing, but note that the winning bidder will have $60.00 added to the final bid to pay for the ebay fees. Sorry, but listing cars is expensive! Rare, solid project car. We have the title in hand. Would be a great platform to restore, customize, or turn into a "Rat Rod". (Even had one guy who wanted to turn this into a hybrid vehicle!) Please note the car DOES NOT currently run, but the engine is not frozen and will turn over with a breaker bar on the crank bolt. Not the original engine, but a larger, 200 inline six was installed at some point. (originally came with a 144 inline six) The generator and starter motor are missing. The car currently is partially disassembled, but everything that was taken off of the car is present, and any hardware was bagged and labeled. Outer steering column sleeve, steering wheel, gauge cluster, have been removed and we have them all. Both front fenders are off the car, (straight, solid, and clean) along with the windshield trim, headlights & surrounds, tail lights & buckets/lenses,  grill and rear/front bumpers and filler panel. The rear tailgate has been damaged, but could easily be repaired with a little effort & know how and is off of the car. The interior has been stripped, and the included seats are not original, but we have one door panel and everything else that we removed. I will include pictures of the car when I first bought it and the rest of how it looks now. My son and I were working on the car but health issues, and lack of funds, and my son discovering girls, have stalled the project. We'd like the car to get the attention and love it deserves. We have several boxes of parts, the car is 95% present. (Likely more, but we're being conservative) VERY little rust for it's age and model. These cars have a reputation to rust and rot out, but this one is amazingly solid. The rocker panels are perfect, and the doors line up and open and close smoothly. The passenger door does not latch properly, as the mechanism needs repair. Glass is present and in good shape. The bed is straight and clean. The floor boards have one small rust hole, about the diameter of a pencil, on the driver's side. Also have a model specific wiring guide booklet, which is quite detailed and informative. Will also include several parts catalogs if the new owner wants them. Again, a solid platform to restore, customize, or what have you. The tires are old bias ply and not in good shape at all. (we have all five original rims) Think the back tires will hold air long enough to load on a dolly or trailer, etc. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us via ebay.

Shipping is the sole responsibility of the new buyer but I'll assist as I'm able with logistics, etc. I reserve the right to end the auction early, with or without bids, as I have the car listed for sale locally and have had a lot of interest. You won't be disappointed! Car MUST be paid for in full within 7 business days of auction's end or listing's end. Paypal for the deposit is fine, and a $200.00 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction's end. The balance due within the timeframe stated above.

Cash, check, is acceptable for payment, but the car will NOT leave here until fully and completely paid in full and all funds have cleared. I will consider any "Buy It Now" offer over $1100.00 prior to any bids being placed, but no "low ball" offers, please. I'm not trying to get rich off of this car, but she is rare, and hard to find one not all rotted to pieces and this complete. I have described the car to the best of my ability, and I'm an honest seller, so please don't waste your, or my, time if you won't/can't complete the transaction in a timely fashion. Good luck and bid to win! Again, feel free to ask any questions...

Ford to pay $17.35 million over Escape recall

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

Ford 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."

Ford reflects on radical Mustang concept that never reached showrooms

Tue, 25 Jun 2013

The Ford Mustang that we all know and love made major waves in the auto industry way back in 1964 by offering style and reasonable pricing with optional V8 power. Its long hood and short rear deck, combined with a low-slung and sporty cockpit, made a lasting impression in the minds of consumers and car designers alike, and its basic shape has so endured the test of time that it's still in use today.
This being the case, you may be interested to know that the first Mustang of 1964.5 wasn't actually the first Mustang at all, being preceded by a concept car that made its public debut in 1962. This concept was nothing like the car that would eventually make it into production, with a radical wedge shape and a small V4 engine sitting behind the car's two occupants, driving the rear wheels. In other words, the conceptual Mustang was pretty much the complete opposite of the production Mustang besides the name.
Ford has kindly decided go through its massive archive to bring the original Mustang concept back into the public eye. The company goes so far as to pose this question to fans of the pony car: "Should we borrow a few of these style elements for the next iteration of the Mustang?" Check out our image gallery above and then let 'em know what you think in the Comments below.

Ford builds one-off 50th anniversary Mustang Convertible for charity

Thu, 08 May 2014

At the New York Auto Show this year, Ford revealed a special-edition Mustang to honor the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples will be made, all of them fixed-roof coupes. But the Blue Oval automaker has just announced that it's also building a single 50 Years edition convertible that it will raffled off for charity.
The first production example of the new Mustang Convertible to roll off the line this fall, this one-off will pack many of the features on the 50 Years coupe, including its white paintjob, chrome trim, aluminum dashboard, two-tone upholstery, contrast stitching, special 19-inch wheels and special-edition badging throughout.
This unique cabrio will also be fitted with a special performance pack including Pirelli PZero rubber, Brembo brakes and a limited-slip differential to help get the 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque from the 5.0-liter V8 through the six-speed manual transmission and down to the road. It'll also feature a serial plaque with the number 0001 of 0001 and chairman Bill Ford's signature.
