 Drives like a dream and sounds awesome!

 Following is a description of the car. Again, it will come with a 4 inch tall stack of documents and receipts chronicling the FULL Restoration process it under went.

 

 A LOT! Of $ was invested in this cool ride and it will sell for under that!!!!

 Interior:

    Dashboard is in perfect shape. Looks like new.

  We just had ALL windows on the car completely serviced and they work great from ALL switches.

1.    All window regulators were cleaned/ lubricated.

2.    Windows were All adjusted to raise and lower evenly.

3.    Switches were ALL cleaned and or replaced.

 Seats are in new condition front and rear.

Door panels like new

Carpet like new. NO fading. High quality factory replacement carpet. Not some cheapo knock off.

Basically interior on car is in near mint condition. I only say “near” because it is a 49 year old car. 

Exterior:

 -The paint on the car is in fantastic shape. Near show quality paint.

 The car was completely disassembled and re-painted. This was NOT masking taped and sprayed….The ENTIRE car was medina blasted inside and out. Primer sealed and then repainted. Bumpers, Grill, Windshield, All trim, Top, etc. were all removed for this process.  You will not see over spray on trim pieces etc. Car was done right and it is not caked with layers of old paint like most of these cars that have quickie re-sprays.

Look at under hood and under trunk lid photos. Everything was removed, restored, then replaced after paint. Again, NO OVER SPRAY.

Fantastic Base Coat Clear Coat Paint

-         Very dry and clean underneath! (See photos)

-         Appears front floors were replaced at time of restoration and in good shape. 

-         Chrome on Front and Rear Bumpers is NEW. Fully re-dipped

-         Door handle chrome is like new.

-         All Stainless trim on car is in very nice shape   

Engine: Original V8 390 CU 

  This car starts up easily and runs very strong. Motor sounds great and has plenty of power. Engine was FULLY REBUILT 10k miles ago. Transmission shifts smoothly into all gears and floats down the road. Power steering works great. Can steer car with one finger.  A pleasure to drive!

  Engine bay is VERY clean and well kept/ detailed. (see photos)

CAN EAT OFF IT. (although I wouldn’t recommend eating off the engine.) 

Note: This car has been driven about 100 miles since being removed from private collection. Drives like a dream with no known issues other than constant THUMBS up from on lookers!

-Just had Tune-Up done to the car including…

-new spark plugs

-new cap & rotor

SEE TOP IN WORKING ACTION AT THIS  YOUTUBE ADDRESS...      http://youtu.be/6VcNBM6LAJE

 Perhaps the most important item on one of these cars is the hydraulic top functions.  This car has just been fully serviced for its top.  Everything was gone thru including relays, pumps, etc.

Everything operates just as it did from the factory.  Top can be raised and lowered with ease and it is quite the site to see!!! 

Top material is original style stay fast canvas and is in NEW condition. Fits nice and is soft. Back window CLEAR!

 NOTE: IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE LINCOLNS OF THIS ERA, THEY HAD A KEYED SWITCH BY GAS TANK TO OPEN TRUNK. THIS ONE HAS A HIDDEN SWITCH INSIDE GAS TANK DOOR FOR AN EXTRA CONVIENIENCE.

Both this switch and the original top down switch work just as they should. SEE YOUTUBE Video on top going up and down…

 Items noted that need attention…

-Gas gauge seems to be stuck. We are having it looked at this week.

Ford to hack $4k off price of Focus EV amid slow sales

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

Between slow sales and a hefty price drop for its nearest rival, the Ford Focus Electric may be looking at a pretty substantial price cut. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will drop the price of the all-electric by about $4,000 to $35,200 to be more competitive with the Nissan Leaf, which received a big price cut for 2013 down to $28,800.
Ford has already admitted to having low expectations for the car's sales and massive rebates were reported earlier in the year, but there is still no official word from Ford on this matter. The company's consumer site still lists the 2014 model's starting price as $39,200. In addition to the Leaf, the Focus Electric will also have to deal with the lower prices of smaller EVs including the Honda Fit EV, Fiat 500e and the Chevrolet Spark EV.

Introducing the 1965 Ford Mustang

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

Put on your space suits and diving bell helmets, for it's time to step into a time capsule. The 50th anniversary of a historic model, like, say, the Porsche 911 this year, is certain to bring flights of nostalgia. This historical trip with the 1965 Mustang, though - preliminary hype for next year's anniversary, we know - is a swell museum exhibit for anyone who enjoys bygone days of the automobile.
Lee Iaccoca gave a speech to motoring journalists on April 1, 1964 at the New York World's Fair to introduce a sporty car for younger drivers. His opening line: "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to one of the proudest moments of our lives." The company was so excited by what it had made that the Mustang was Ford's first "International Press Introduction," being introduced to some 2,000 journos around the world on the same day in the US and 11 European cities. Even through its difficult points, no one at the time could have known how well the Mustang would acquit that pride.
After the intro, the press drove Mustangs 750 miles from New York to Dearborn, MI, reading press kits that touted features like the "vertical, three-sectional taillights/turn signals," "170" six-cylinder engine with 101 horsepower and the available Cruise-O-Matic transmission.

Plethora of 2015 Ford F-150 customs runs the gamut at SEMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2014



Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Ford racers.
Of all the OEMs making appearances at the 2014 SEMA show, Ford owns arguably the most significant group of vehicles, thanks to its new 2015 F-150 and Mustang. While you can look for our Mustang coverage soon, we've managed to sneak out and get snaps of some of a few of the F-150s on display at the company's sprawling, 20,000-square-foot display (look for even more aftermarket F-150 goodness in the coming days).
