See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Recent Restore. Really nice car."

Originally a high desert southern Idaho car, 352/cruiseomatic trans, Palm Springs Rose paint with black/white vinyl interior. Originally from our inventory of restorable project cars, purchased in the mid 90s by a retired law enforcement officer to restore in his retirement years. He sold it back to us after completing all of the mechanical work. Restoration was finished at our in-house restoration shop early this year and has done the show and shine tour this summer. Now its ready for a new home!!!
The original 352 was bored .030 and fitted with new pistons, crank turned .010 and all new parts installed. The heads were rebuilt with new valves and hardened seats. All the machinework was done at a reputable machineshop. A Edelbrock Performer intake, edelbrock carb, and pertronics ignition conversion were installed along with a later Ford alternator. A complete new exhaust was installed. The original trans was rebuilt and installed and the front suspension was cleaned, re built and installed. The brakes were rebuilt at the same time with new wheel cylinders ect. The rear diff was treated to a good cleaning and re-seal. Wheels were changed to later tbird 15; and new Goodyear tires installed (the original 14; wheels go with the car if you want them). Milage at the time of restoration was believed to be 81,000 or close to that. At this point the owner decided to sell it back to us after working on it for about 10 years. Bodywork consisted of repairing some light damage to the front above the bumper, and some minor dings and dents here and there. The car was 99% rust free and did not require any patches to the floors or trunk. All of the materials were quality BASF primers and base/clear products. Paint was re-done in the original code V Palm Springs Rose. The interior is completely new top to bottom including headliner, dash pad, carpet, door panels and seats. Driver seat is power and works good. Over $2000.00 was spent on the interior alone!!! New weatherstripping was used on the doors and roofrails. The wipers were converted to electric New Port engineering wiper motor. All of the stainless trim was polished and re-installed. A new trunk trim kit and underhood kit was installed.
Since restoration was completed early this year, the car has done the local show and shines and cruise nights. The engine runs flawlessly, the trans shifts smooth, everything works great. Excellent driver, very dependable. About the only issues it has are- The windshield is original therefor has a few light scratches accumulated over the years. The bumpers are also original but the chrome is driver quality only, when examined up close they present some scratches and thin spots. They are very straight and no dents so a good replating job shouldnt cost that much. Overall a very nice car, no way one could be restored for the reserve amount, let alone parts and labor costs.

Autoblog Minute: Ford Ranger, UK Mustang, Hyundai Hybrid

Fri, Aug 28 2015

Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over the Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of the Toyota Prius and a new Hyundai. Autoblog's senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the weekly recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of Prius and a new Hyundai. I'm Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute weekly recap. 2011 was the last time we saw Ford's midsize pickup in the US but according to a report from the Detroit News we could see production of the Ranger at the [00:00:30] Dearborn automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant as early as 2018. Ranger could compete with the Chevy Colorado and perhaps revive the compact and midsize pickup market for Ford, but the future of Ranger in the US depends a lot on Ford's ongoing negotiations with the UAW. About 2,000 orders for the 2015 Mustang were placed in the UK, tying up production of the pony car until July 2016. According to details in a press release from Ford UK, [00:01:00] it looks like Brits are a lot like their American cousins, opting for the 5.0 liter V8, with Race Red as the popular color of choice. Photos of the 2016 Toyota Prius leaked generating a lot of buzz over the styling. This fourth generation Prius will have some new competition as spy shots of a new Hyundai also surfaced this week. The car is said to be a hybrid and a bonafide "Prius fighter." Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday, [00:01:30] including the latest in FCA rumors for 2016. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.

Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.

Ford Mustang 50th anniversary edition brings in $170k

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Just the other day, we reported on the first Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat selling for a whopping $825,000 at auction. But impressive as that sum was, the Challenger wasn't the only sought-after modern muscle car to cross the Barrett-Jackson auction block in Las Vegas this past weekend. So did this rare Ford Mustang.
The last of 1,964 special-edition 50 Years Limited Edition pony cars sold for a princely $170,000, with proceeds benefiting the Edith and Benson Ford Heart & Vascular Institute, a branch of the Henry Ford Health System.
The pony car in question is based on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT and upgrades with a performance package and nearly every option on the book, along with a unique appearance package to set it apart in celebration of the Mustang's 50th anniversary. It's available in two exclusive shades - Wimbledon white or Kona blue - with either a manual or automatic transmission. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples were to be built, and this was the last of them.
