Finally.......after 29 years of enjoyment, the owner has decided to say goodbye to her pride and joy. Purchased in 1985, the owner and her husband did a complete frame off restoration of this beauty, and she has only put on 12,407 miles since it's completion in 2000. This car was built right twice. Once by old Henry Ford himself, and again by this couple. This is a numbers matching Ford that is completely stock in appearance except it was upgraded to a 12 volt electrical system with Petronix ignition, and a 57 intake manifold with Holly 390 four barrel carburetor was installed. The original intake manifold and carb go with the car if desired. Also, the name painted on the deck lid will be removed without damage to the paint if desired. Power steering and fender skirts were the only options added when originally purchased. The engine is the stock re-built original 272 v8 connected to the Fordomatic transmission. The am radio has an fm converter added. I am assisting the owner in the sale of this great classic, and upon close inspection was not able to notice any area that has any signs of rust or filler. This car is solid and runs and drives perfectly. I did see two extremely minor flaws which include a small ding on one piece of stainless that is barely noticeable, and a tiny pinhole and scrape on a lower corner of the top as shown in one of the pictures. We have priced the car WELL BELOW #2 prices and WAY BELOW #1 prices shown in NADA, Hemmings Price Guide, and the Collector Car Price Guide. It is also priced well below comparable vehicles shown in the Old Car Auction Bible for auction prices realized in 2012 & 2013 that covers 50 national auctions across the country. So here is your chance to make a solid investment where you can already be ahead in the game while enjoying miles & miles of fun as you drive it rather than sitting at your computer watching the stock market. If you have less than 3 positive eBay feedback, you MUST first e-mail your name and phone number for me to call before bidding or your bid may be cancelled. A $500 non-refundable deposit must be received within 48 hours of auction end with balance in full received within 7 calendar days of end of auction. Cash or bank wire transfer gets immediate possession of car and title. If you have any questions or would like to arrange a personal viewing please call Jack at 330/389-0456. I don't use texting, so please call or use eBay mail. I am assisting the owner in this sale and can get answers to most questions you may have. |

Lincoln trumpets $129M investment, 300 new jobs in Louisville for MKC
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Remember when we used to talk about how close Lincoln was to being axed and how it seemed any day now the Grim Reaper would use it as a car service back to the grave? Last time we did it was, oh, not even a month ago. What a difference 27 days makes: Ford and Lincoln are trumpeting a $129M investment in the Louisville Assembly Plant that builds the MKC.
In July the MKC was the third-best-selling Lincoln of the brand's six offerings, beat by the MKZ and - by a much smaller margin - the MKX. It has sold 2,895 units in the two months it's been on sale, which is more than half the year-to-date sales of the MKS, MKT and Navigator. It's already important, is what we're trying to say, and this is before the Chinese market gets a crack at it later this year.
The money headed to Kentucky will be joined by 300 new workers, another marker in Ford's march to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the US by next year. You can read more about it in the press release below.
Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Mon, 10 Feb 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper.
For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011.
The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors.
Ford cuts 950 Russian jobs on weak demand
Thu, 03 Apr 2014The Russian auto market, in decline for the past year and further hit by the declining value of the ruble and recent sanctions over its annexation of Crimea, has forced Ford to cut jobs and shifts at two of its joint venture plants there. Around 700 of the 2,700 total workers who build the Russian-market Focus and Mondeo will be cut at the plant in Vsevolozhsk, near St. Petersburg as it drops to a single production shift. A second plant about 700 miles away in Yelabuga, in the Tartarstan region, will lose 250 workers. That plant builds seven vehicles, including the Explorer, Kuga and Edge.
The Moscow Times says Ford has been especially hit by the market decline, the overall market losing 5.5 percent in 2013 compared to the year before, but Ford sales dropping 18 percent in 2013 year-on-year. This year isn't going any better, with The Blue Oval posting a 21-percent decline through the first two months of 2014. That's why, though the Yelabuga plant builds the CUVs that customers are moving into, even it is facing cuts.
The job cuts in Vsevolozhsk come on top four-week plant shutdown planned so that the paint and body shops can go to one shift. In a statement, the company said, "Ford Sollers remains absolutely committed to the Russian market and is confident it has the right product plan, people and assets to deliver long-term profitable growth."
