A very thin layer of fiberglass was professionally applied and repainted with matching ford lime paint.Car has A/C compressor on engine and condenser,but needs under dash unit to operate.I purchased one,but it has not been installed on car,if buyer wants it, and additional fee of $400.00 will be required.The car has no rust in floor pans or trunk,body is solid and straight except for the small place on the passenger door. It is running and driving,however still needs minor bugs worked out,so I would suggest the car be trailered home. Exterior chrome is in very good condition with minor rust in the corner curves,trim is very good.Seats are bench, front seat has about a 1" repaired place where the seat folds forwars to let someone in rear seat. Rear seat ,headliner,and decklid look beautiful as well as door panels. The dash has no cracks or splits,.all of interior is black. New 14" itres were installed on the factory rims. The mileage reads 35979,however due to not being able to get signed document from original owner (deceased) the Virginia DMV states the car is in excess of 100k miles.They are real sticklers for that.All the glass is good no cracks or fading.The rubber spacer that sits against the two front side glasses needs replacing.as well as the dome light,needs replacing.,its there but lens has broken. I have a catalog that the parts are listed in and they are not to expensive,its just that I have so much money invested I can't proceed as I have become 100% disabled and am no longer able to work as I used to. Shipping is up to the buyer,I will not release car to anyone until the buyer contacts me with the shippers info and pickup date.I will work with buyer and hold the car for a reasonable time to arrange shipping. Perferred method of payment is PAYPAL,or USPS money order,or Certified Bank Check only. I have driven the car and it runs very good and trans shifts so smooth it is unreal.the mechanic I had do all the work for me said the trans had brass clutches in it,the best according to him.The car was a special order as it came with auto trans,not straight gear.The reserve is very reasonable for a car of this caliber,you sure don't see many around and it draws attention when you drive it.Paypal address is lukeosi@comcast.net.

Ford rolls out diesel Focus ST at Goodwood [w/poll]
Sun, 29 Jun 2014If you're in the market for a hot hatch, there are some excellent choices at your disposal - especially if you live in Europe. But if you want a diesel, well, your choices become rather more limited. Volkswagen tends to that niche market with the Golf GTD (essentially an oil-burning version of the GTI available Stateside), but that's about the extent of it. The pleas of those looking for more diesel-burning hot hatch choices haven't fallen on deaf ears at Ford, with the Blue Oval not only rolling out a facelifted gas-powered Focus ST at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend, but also a new diesel version as well.
The diesel Focus ST (which we hope and pray isn't marketed as the STD) packs a 2.0-liter turbodiesel four producing 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque to propel the oil-burning hot hatch to 62 in 8.1 seconds en route to a top speed of 135 miles per hour. With less power and only slightly more torque, that makes the diesel Focus ST considerably slower than the gasoline one, which packs 252 hp and 270 lb-ft, runs to 62 in 6.5 seconds and tops out at 154 mph, but (in a testament to how far particulate filters have come) the diesel model cuts carbon emissions by nearly a third compared to the petrol version and returns about 50-percent better fuel economy, which makes that much more of a difference in markets where diesel is already priced better than gasoline at the pump.
For buyers who wouldn't consider anything other than a diesel, it also represents 23-percent more power than the previous top-level diesel Focus. The VW Golf GTD, for reference, offers up 181 hp (just 1 horse less), 280 lb-ft (15 fewer torques) but is somehow estimated to reach 60 in a considerably fleeter 7.4 seconds.
Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?
Fri, May 27 2016When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
