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.

2015 Ford Edge holds line on pricing, starts at $28,100*

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

The Ford Edge gets an updated platform, bolder styling and a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine pumping out 245 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque for the 2015 model year. You might expect that all those new features would result in a big price bump, but you'd be wrong. Ford is keeping costs identical to the 2014 model with a starting MSRP of $28,100 (*plus an $895 destination charge), according to Edmunds. Ford spokesperson William Mattiace confirmed the numbers to Autoblog.
That's a pretty good deal, but the real ticket here might be the model's Sport trim. Buyers get a 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 EcoBoost engine with over 300 horsepower and standard adaptive steering for $28,600 plus destination. That's just $500 more than the base model.
Pricing for the Titanium trim has not yet been announced, but it'll be a short wait to find out. Mattiace tells Autoblog that full pricing and the configuration for the model will launch on November 5. He has also confirmed that the 2015 Edge will begin hitting dealers in the first quarter of 2015.

Ladies Love It: Ford Fiesta wins Womens World Car of the Year

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

It's official: A panel of female automotive writers has chosen the Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost as the Womens World Car of the Year, and it beat tough competition like the Mazda CX-5, Range Rover and Porsche Boxster S for the overall top spot.
The CX-5 and Range Rover won the SUV and Luxury Car categories, respectively, and the Boxster S laid claim to the Sports Car category, beating the runner up Audi RS5 and third place Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ (or Scion FR-S). The Audi Allroad was named the Family car of the year.
The panel consisted of 18 female automotive writers from around the world tasked with picking the best car in each of eight categories, including top vehicle overall, using criteria that women utilize when shopping for a car. That includes safety, value-for-money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child-friendliness, ease-of-driving, color, sex appeal and environmental footprint.

California Man Reunited 33 Years Later With Thunderbird

Wed, Sep 3 2014

A California man was at a loss for words when he was reunited with his prized 1964 Ford Thunderbird on Tuesday, 33 years after it was stolen from a bar parking lot. Gary Chartrand could hardly believe how well his old Thunderbird held up in the last three decades. The odometer had only added about 1,000 miles from when he last saw the car back in the 1980s. "A few bumps and bruises but boy, not much changed," Chartrand told KOVR. Chartrand bought the car as a present to himself after finalizing his divorce from his wife of 10 years in 1981. It disappeared one night from the parking lot of a Sacramento bar where he was working. Police found Chartrand's car 750 miles north in Washington State. They have no leads on who might have stolen the classic car. Related Gallery Buying An Older Car: Five Things To Watch Out For
