I purchased this car in 1999 with intentions of driving it and restoring it. About 6 months after I purchased it I was idling at a stop light and it stopped running. The timing chain was replaced with new timing gears. The replacement gears are metal. The car has been sitting in storage for the last 15 years on an asphalt pad. It will need to be gone through. I start it and drive it short distances to get fuel or the oil changed or get it washed. It has back registration fees of $639 and will need another $10 for a state inspection plus smog fees to put it on the road in California. Buyer is responsible for payment of these fees if vehicle is to be licensed in California.

The Good: Glass is good. Dash is free of cracks. Interior is good and stock, headliner is like new. New parts: brake pads, spark plugs, wires, filters, timing chain & gears were replaced when I got it. Battery is about 6 months old. Master cylinder is new. Center caps: 2 are NOS, 2 look new but came with the car. Hood ornament and 'Thunderbird' lettering for above the glove box are NOS. Windshield wipers are new. Floors are solid. Stock radio. Car has always been in California to the best of my knowledge. There is a Moffett Field parking sticker on the windshield. Window tint is static cling and can be removed in about 5 minutes. The car starts, runs and stops. The headlights stopped working. Hi-beams still work. The rest of the lights work. The car still has most of its original paint. Has the factory ford turbine rims. I drove it 6 miles to get the master cylinder replaced. That said it is a 35 year old car that has been sitting for the last 15 years on an asphalt pad so it will need to be gone through.

The Bad: The following are known problems with the car: The carb is original and needs to be rebuilt. It starts and runs but will stall after the engine gets warmed up. Windshield wipers do not work. They worked prior to parking the car. Tires are dry-rotting but still hold air. Small amount of surface rust on the driver's side pillar. Headlights stopped working after the car was parked. Hi-beams and the rest of the lights work. There is play in either the ring gear or the pinion gear- when you put the car into drive or reverse there is some play. It is not the u-joints. There is a hole in the drivers side carpet. Sensor for the brakes stopped functioning- brake light in the dash is on. Vacuum for the headlamp covers has a small leak and the headlights will open after a day or two.

New battery 02/02/14. NOS speedometer cable. NOS center caps (2). The other 2 look new. NOS hood ornament. NOS dash emblem. NOS dome light cover. NOS rear bumper pad. New master cylinder 07/22/14. Antenna is in trunk.

If you need other pics email me and I will send them. Thanks!

Texas plumber shocked his old Ford F-250 is now in terrorists' hands [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Do you ever wonder what the a owner is doing with your vehicle after you trade it in? Mark Oberholtzer of Mark-1 Plumbing in Texas City, TX, has no need to imagine, but it's probably his worst nightmare. That's because an image of his old Ford F-250 is now on Twitter as a gun platform in the Syrian Civil War. While the image only appeared recently, Oberholtzer traded the truck in last November. Somehow since then the F-250 made its way from Texas to Syria. According to a report from television station WHOU, the dealer that took the trade said the pickup immediately went to auction. Unfortunately, along the whole route no one ever took Mark-1 Plumbing's name and phone number off the door. So when the image went up on Twitter, everyone knew whom the Ford previously belonged to. The plumbing company makes it abundantly clear that this whole bizarre situation is simply a coincidence, and it has absolutely no ties to the conflict in Syria. However, that isn't preventing people from phoning the business with angry calls and threats. Things are so bad that Oberholtzer keeps the phones unplugged for relief. Scroll down to watch a video of the guy's flabbergasted reaction to finding out what his F-250 is doing now. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
Scroll down for more about Ford's planned job growth as well as how to go about applying for said openings.
