How would you like to drive around in a car that will get stares and “Thumbs Up” from all ages?  Do you like get a real bargain? Maybe even a steal. 

 

Well here is your chance.  58 years old and still going strong. 

 

This vehicle was given to me by my father prior to his passing in 2008.  He purchased the vehicle from a local collector in 2003.  It always won a trophy when we entered it into a local care show in the Richmond VA area.

 

Why am I selling it?  Good question.  This is a wonderful car, but not what I ultimately want.  My father had 3 antique cars and this is the one he gave me.   I presently don’t have the time to drive it as much as I would like.  Doesn’t do anyone any good just sitting in a garage. 

 

NOTE: I am not interested in a vehicle trade.

 

What I know about the vehicle…

 

·         Partially restored (75-80%) in early 2000 by a local collector.

·         Garage kept

·         Interior

o   Carpet shows normal wear, must not have been included in the restoration.

o   Seats are clean, no rips or tears.

·         Exterior

o   Clean paint job

o   Normal paint nicks from usage

·         Engine/Transmission

o   V8: Not sure if it is a 292 or 312

o   Runs great

o   Will occasionally come out of second gear if not under power. But how often will you stay in Second.

o   Three-speed on the floor.

·         Overall

o   Considered a “30 Footer”.

o   Will chirp the tires in all three gears.

o   Hard top convertible.

o   Continental kit.

o   Fender Skirts

o   Speedometer is not hooked up.

o   Mileage shows mostly Zeros. Not sure of actual mileage.

 

According to NADAGuides, this vehicle price range is:

                Low Retail:          $35,000

                Mid Retail:          $52,000

 

Even though it has a few minor issues, in my opinion the car easily exceeds the guidelines of a Low Retail car.

 

If you want more pictures or specific details, please do not hesitate to post a question.  I will answer your question as soon as possible and to the best of my ability.

Ford and Mercedes join Renault in French emissions investigation

Thu, Jan 21 2016

The French government is investigating certain models from Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault because they allegedly produce more nitrogen oxide than the country's pollution rules allow, according to Automotive News, citing a French newspaper. After VW's emissions scandal, French regulators began checking more vehicles for evidence of defeat devices and excessive real-world pollution. According to Automotive News, the Mercedes S350 allegedly showed inconsistent results across these tests, and a Ford C-Max had NOx levels five times over the limit. The Renault Captur crossover, Espace, and an unnamed utility vehicle also had results that were too high. The French testing for this investigation includes an on-road emissions check that's not part of the EU's normal evaluations, which some automakers claim is unfair. "Unofficial on-road testing has varying conditions and can produce significantly different results," a Ford of Europe spokesman told Automotive News. Renault representatives met with French officials on January 18 to explain the situation. The company later submitted a plan to recall 15,800 examples of the diesel Captur, and said it would offer a voluntary software upgrade for about 700,000 other vehicles, according to Automotive News. Representatives from Ford and Mercedes will meet with the government soon, too. Renault's stock price plunged last week after investors heard that French regulators searched three of the automaker's sites as part of the emissions investigation. The stockholders feared an environmental scandal like the one currently embroiling Volkswagen. There's one major difference – as of now, there's no evidence Renault equipped any of the polluting models with defeat devices. Related Video:

Ford dealer gives James Robertson new 2015 Taurus

Fri, Feb 6 2015

James Robertson, the 56-year-old Detroit native famous for walking 21 miles to work each day for the last 10 years, is behind the wheel again thanks to a gift from a Ford dealer. Robertson became an Internet sensation when the story about his daily ordeal came to light, and a GoFundMe campaign initially hoped to raise $5,000 to buy him a new ride. As of this writing, it has reached over $300,000. He didn't have to dip into any of that money to buy the new car, though. According to The Detroit Free Press, Suburban Ford of Sterling Heights, MI, heard about Robertson's story of never being late to work and having perfect attendance. The dealer is donating a fully loaded, red 2015 Taurus to him. It's not one of our choices, but certainly nothing to sneeze at. Robertson started walking to work in 2005 when his Honda broke down. According to the GoFundMe page, his job is about 23 miles away, but thanks to Detroit's poor bus network, he covers about 21 miles of that round-trip trek on foot each day.
