This car is an easy restore and excellent investment. It will need tires, repainting, oiling of hinges, etc., eventually a new windshield (recently bb'd by a drive by miscreant but while the pellet struck low and causes no vision problems eventually you will want to replace it. Frame solid, rust almost non-existent with a few bubbles under the paint, mostly along the rockers. Plan on a brake shoe replacement from so long sitting and a new battery. Probably a muffler system too and maybe a new set of keys. But we're going thru piles of keys from former cars over the years and a good chance we'll find the right ones. Mostly plan on tinkering and elbow grease; few parts other then those mentioned and nothing of major expense that we can see or anticipate. Why pay a 'restorer' to send his kids to college when you and a friend or two can do the work yourself in your own garage. Even if you put $2,000 in it including paint, windshield, etc., put your pencil to paper look at the value you'll have compared to the resale value! At least $10,000+ on the current market. Car is complete except one wheel cover is missing. Has original 12-volt electric from the factory. Standard a/m radio and heating. No major dings or scratches. Windows rull up and down easily. Interior shows no major wear. Glass has standard factory tints. Alll lguages worked fine when last driven. No accidents. The week before I purchased it it had been driven in cross country from the west coast area U.S. to Michigan where it is now. Last started when driven into storage. Radiator kept full with anti-freeze and no leaking. Keep that in mind when you restart her. There is a proper way to do that which is safe and easy, costs about $10 and takes about 3-4 days. But the payback is a sound engine with no damage or smoking. Have used this proceedure many times on cars, trucks, farm tractors and other infrequently used motors over the last 40+ years and it has never once failed. Selling low because of failing eyesight to the point where I don't drive regular anymore except on very bright days and then only in familiar areas. Tempus Fugit. Being sold as-is, where-is with no warranties but confidence that what I am telling you here about his car is how it is. Sale is final. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required received via USPS money order within five days of sale. Balance also by USPS money order to be forwarded within 10 days of sale and before car is removed. You can ask any additional questions which will receive a quick reply.

Ford not backing down on MPG-based marketing strategy
Thu, Jun 26 2014The Blue Oval may have to back off a bit from the green messaging. Ford has had to lower fuel-economy ratings on a number of 2013 and 2014 model-year vehicles, namely its hybrids. And that may force the US automaker to rethink some of its marketing strategy, Automotive News reports. Ford has spent much of the year pushing its fuel-efficiency improvements, with everything from a Super Bowl ad saying its Fusion Hybrid gets "almost double" the fuel efficiency of an average vehicle (after the recalculation, it's now more like 75 percent better) to claiming the Fiesta is the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid in the US (it's actually the Mitsubishi Mirage) to stating the C-Max Hybrid gets better fuel economy than the Toyota Prius V (it doesn't). Nonetheless, Ford doesn't plan on changing its mpg marketing emphasis anytime soon, the company said in an e-mailed statement to AutoblogGreen. "Providing customers great fuel economy is a key part of our Ford vehicle DNA." "Providing customers great fuel economy is a key part of our Ford vehicle DNA," the company said. "We will continue to highlight our vehicles features and attributes in our advertising and marketing, which includes fuel economy and fuel-saving technologies like EcoBoost and hybrids." Earlier this month, Ford said it would lower the fuel-economy ratings of models such as the C-Max, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ Hybrids as well as most of the Fiesta line because of mistakes in the company's internal testing data. It was the second change for the C-Max Hybrid. The good news for Ford is that its fleetwide fuel economy is up almost 40 percent from a decade ago, compared to an improvement of around 23 percent for Toyota. Still, while sales of Ford hybrids and plug-ins are about even with last year through the first five months of 2014, C-Max Hybrid sales have plunged 49 percent from a year earlier. Earlier this year, Ford admitted that the first fuel economy downgrade had a negative effect on sales and we can find proof in the numbers. Before that the change was announced, in August 2013, Ford was consistently selling over 2,000 – and sometimes over 3,000 – C-Max Hybrids a month. In September, it dropped to 1,424, then to 1,438 in October. It didn't climb back above 2,000 until May 2014. The second mpg adjustment was announced in June.
Ford Transit production fires up, American Pickers among first takers
Wed, 30 Apr 2014Not long ago, the History Channel showed a seemingly unending stream of World War II documentaries, but it made a switch a few years ago to include an increasing mix of 'reality' programming. American Pickers was one of the early attempts at this new formula, with cameras following hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz around the country in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as they tracked down collectibles and "rusty gold" for their Iowa shop, Antique Archeology. The show has since gone on to become one of the channel's most popular programs.
Starting in the new episode airing tonight, the affable hosts will swap their Benz for a 2015 Ford Transit, a nicely timed bit of marketing to coincide with the launch of the model's assembly at the Blue Oval's Kansas City Assembly Plant, which also kicks off this week. Ford is touting 2,000 new jobs created as part of its $1.1-billion investment in the plant.
No strangers to product placement, the guys from American Pickers say their switch away from the Sprinter is because they wanted to balance cargo capacity and fuel economy to make the most of their cross-country jaunts. They opted for the largest Transit available with a long wheelbase, extended body and high roof, giving them 487 cubic feet of cargo room. Hauling power comes from a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel engine with 190 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. Fittingly, the van wears the same Antique Archaeology logo over white paint as their old Sprinter.
