First off.... I am not a dealer nor am I a flipper.. I'm just a car guy who does not know how to say no....My plans were to keep this car & do the five speed conversion. But I fell in love with a 73 Torino 2 door coup with a factory four speed...Need I say more????? Even though this car has low mileage I'm not going to scream & holler that its the greatest thing since sliced bread. I'll let the car & the pictures speak for them self...A lot of sellers would be screaming $15,000 $15,000 $ 15,000. I'm not even close to that. In fact my reserve is south of 10.
 
A gentleman from Madison NJ bought this car new & he kept it in a climate controlled garage. And from what I was told this was his baby & he rarely drove it. The car never saw snow nor did it see rain....Unfortunately he became ill & passed away in 2011. CANCER SUCKS!!!  At that time the car had 10,000 miles. He willed the car to his niece. She kept it in a garage for a year & was forced to park the car outside. Approximately one year. I found the car in the summer of 13 & at that time it had 15,000 miles. We worked out a deal & its been in a garage since.
 
Description....1-10
 
Body.....9     The body is in very good shape.. It has never been hit nor has it been painted. All the original tags are in place & the paint shines. There are no dents anywhere. There are a few rock chips here & there thanks to the idiots who run Sussex County NJ. The chrome is in very good condition. The 1/4 windows do have some pitting & some of the emblems show some wear from being outside but overall they are in great shape.
 
Glass...9.5
 
Wheels...Sorry not BBS.....I know it broke my heart also. The front two need to be reconditioned or replaced. The clear failed. The rear wheels are 9 & a 9.5
 
Tires ....Original....Yes original.. They are in very good shape but they are just starting to crack...Just a little......Around town no problem...Highway??????
 
Moon roof...Does not leak!! Works perfectly.
 
Interior...EXCELLENT...Dam near perfect!!!!
 
Radio...Needs to be reconditioned......But its the highly sought after Sony single cd player without the silver buttons.
 
Undercarriage...9   Shows some wear due to being outside...BUT ONLY SMALL AMOUNTS OF SURFACE RUST ON NON COATED PARTS.
 
Under the hood.. 8.5 Same issue as the undercarriage.
 
Transmission.... 10     First thing we did was drop the pan & change the fluid. It was pink so We figured it was done shortly before the owner passed. We adjusted the PSI to 32 but that was just too much like being at the drags. So we bumped it down to 30 PSI. It shifts nice & tight without too much bang. I never got around to swap out the TV connector. It still is in grat shape BUT THAT IS SOMETHING YOU MUST DO!!!
 
AC.  Ice cold.
 
Air suspension.....10... Works perfectly! The bags are in excellent shape. No dry rot, cracking, or leaks.
 
Mechanical 9.5
The drivers air bag (SRS) does not work. The clock spring needs to be replaced.
Thats it! Everything eles works.
 
What I have replaced.
 
Battery.
Water pump.
Serpentine belt.
Lower radiator hose.
Front Calibers & pads.
Passenger side lock actuator...Go figure.
Antenna...Double go figure
 
Overall this is a excellent car & only needs a little el bow grease. It is probably one of the tightest cars I have ever owned. Who ever buys this car will not be disappointed.
 
Any bidders that have a feedback of ten or less MUST contact me first or your bid will be cancelled!!
 
Good luck......

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.

2017 Lincoln Continental reimagined as a coupe

Thu, Jan 21 2016

If nothing else, the production version of the Lincoln Continental has provided ample water-cooler fodder around the office. There are a few camps: the "it took guts to build it" folks giving credit where due on a handsome design with an ambitious interior, and the "MKZ misstep" group haranguing the Motor Company for blowing fancy new styling cues on a lesser beast. And yet, unifying forces exist. We can all agree that these artist renders depicting a Continental sans a pair of doors present a captivating notion. Back in 1939, the original Continental was a two-door. Over time, four doors of various types, including convertibles, infiltrated the lineup. The last time the Continental was on sale, it was a four-door front-driver based on the platform shared with the Mercury Sable and Ford Taurus. Even though the new production Continental, like that penultimate one, is based on a front-drive platform, the execution is much different. As you probably already know, it features a so-far unique 400-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 and an advanced torque-vectoring AWD system, standard. Some neat concept car touches, like the fancy door handles and patented 30-way adjustable seats, made it in. What a two-door would bring to the table is mainly stylistic, emphasizing the long parallel character line in the door with brightwork running under the window that's echoed in the lower door sculpting and chrome strip. It accentuates the car's length, and calls attention to the trim taillights and their interconnecting bar element. A longer door makes for a more elegant transition into the C-pillar. It makes the production Continental, with its blacked-out but still obviously chunky B-pillar, look fussy. We don't expect Lincoln to build a coupe – that may be too wild for a company that doesn't seem completely comfortable with the notion of reinvention – but these renders were just too good not to share. Let us know what you think in the comments below. Related Video:

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
