THIS LOOKS LIKE THE CAR I DROVE IN HIGH SCHOOL. "MY BOYFRIEND" WRECKED THE ORIGINAL. I BOUGHT THIS ONE IN 2008 TO CELEBRATE 10 YEARS AS A CANCER SURVIVOR. NOW I FIND MYSELF WIDOWED AND ON SOCIAL SECURITY----SO....
THE COLOR IS CALLED PEACOCK BLUE AND THE PAINT IS IN GREAT SHAPE, AS THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED AND COVERED SINCE IT WAS PAINTED. THE BACK SEAT HAS THE ORIGINAL UPHHOLSTERY AND IS IN GOOD SHAPE. THE FRONT BUCKET SEATS WERE REUPHOLSTERED WITH THE ORIGINAL FACTORY TYPE COVERS. SHE HAS A NEW DASHBOARD PAD AND COVER, A NEW TOP AND A NEW BOOT. THE CARPET IS ORIGINAL . THE FRONT FLOOR MATS ARE CUSTOM MADE. THE GAS GAUGE "BOUNCES" AROUND SO I ALWAYS FILL HER UP WHEN I GET IN (IT'S A GIRL THING). THE SPEEDOMETER WOBBLES OVER 60 MPH. THE SUN VISOR BRACKET ON THE SHOTGUN SIDE BROKE THE LAST TIME I DROVE IT. I'LL TRY TO FIND A REPLACEMENT AND FIX IT.
THE HEATER WORKS GOOD BUT SINCE MY GOAL WAS TO RESTORE HER TO AS NEAR ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE THERE IS NO AC. THE ORIGINAL AM RADIO IS INCLUDED BUT I'VE NEVER TRIED IT. THE ONE IN THE CAR IS AN AFTER MARKET BUT IT DOESN'T PICK UP MANY STATIONS. THE CLOCK WAS REPLACED BUT IT IS CURRENTLY 'RESTING' AND HASN'T BEEN DIAGNOSED YET. ALL OF THE WINDOWS OPERATE EXACTLY AS THEY DID 50 YEARS AGO WITH KNOBS AND GOOD BICEPS. IT PASSED TEXAS INSPECTION IN NOVEMBER 2012 SO ALL OF THE TURN SIGNALS AND LIGHTS WORK.
THE WHITEWALL TIRES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE AND THE WHITEWALL SPARE HAS NEVER BEEN ON THE GROUND. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL HUBCAPS BUT THE ONES ON IT ARE WHAT WE CALLED 'SPOKES'. MOST OF THE CHROME IS ORIGINAL AND LOOKS GREAT. TWO PIECES WERE REPLACED WHEN THE CAR WAS PAINTED. SOME OF THE CHROME HAS VERY MINOR DENTS AND SCRATCHES.
NOW FOR THE MAN STUFF: IT HAS A 390 CID WITH APPROX. 95,000 ORIGINAL MILES AND A FORD 4 BARREL CARBURETOR AND AN ELECTRONIC POINTLESS IGNITION. THE SPARK PLUG WIRES, SPARK PLUGS, DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND VALVE COVER GASKETS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. SHE HAS POWER STEERING BUT NOT POWER BRAKES. SHE HAS DUAL EXHAUST WITH GLAS-PAC TYPE MUFFLERS. IT ALSO HAS A SERVICE MANUAL AND A WIRING SCHEMATIC INCLUDED. IT HAS THE OLD TYPE BUMPER JACK.
THE CAR DRIVES GOOD---USING THE STANDARDS OF 50 YEARS AGO. SHE HAS SURVIVED IN MUCH BETTER SHAPE THAN MOST FOLKS OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER HER. IT BREAKS MY HEART TO LET HER GO SO PLEASE: TO A GOOD HOME. I'M SURE THERE ARE THINGS I FORGOT SO PLEASE EMAIL QUESTIONS. WE INVESTED 35K INTO HER BUT ALL REASONABLE OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED. ...
NOW THIS IS THE PART I'M 'SUPPOSED' TO PUT: ALL BIDDERS WITH LESS THAN 10 FEEDBACKS NEED TO ASK BEFORE BIDDING OR THE BID MIGHT BE CANCELLED. THE SUCCESSFUL HIGH BIDDER WILL SUBMIT $1000 - NON REFUNDABLE - PAYMENT DEPOSIT WITH PAYPAL WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION TO SECURE THE VEHICLE. FINAL PAYMENT WILL BE U.S.BANK CHECK, BANK WIRE TRANSFER OR CASH DUE WITHIN 7 DAYS OF CLOSE OF AUCTION. ITS THE BUYERS OBLIGATION TO ARRANGE FOR SHIPPING. ALL FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS MUST BE COMPLETE BEFORE DELIVERY OF VEHICLE. FINAL PAYMENT THROUGH PAYPAL IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

Hear the 2015 Mustang GT V8 roar for the first time
Wed, 26 Jun 2013Our combined knowledge of the 2015 Ford Mustang continues to deepen, as spy shooters have begun to compile video and audio of the upcoming sixth-generation car.
Case in point is this latest series of video clips, which not only gives us a great vantage point of the Mustang in motion, but also allows us to hear the Ford V8 engine and exhaust. After perusing the aural delights of this short video, which, admittedly, doesn't catch the Mustang GT at full song, we can at least say that the throaty exhaust isn't disappointing.
Chances are good that the 2015 Mustang GT will debut with some version of the current (and excellent) Coyote 5.0-liter V8 engine, though we're unclear as to whether or not the motor has been massaged for its next-gen debut, or what may have been done to exhaust plumbing. At this point, we're just happy to hear the pony run. Scroll below to hear for yourself.
Top Gear's latest trailer shows off a golden Bugatti Chiron
Thu, Feb 23 2017Top Gear is returning on March 5, and after a lackluster first series with the new hosts, the new group seems determined not to hit a sophomore slump. Chris Evans is gone, and the latest teaser trailer shows the new trio of Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid strapped into some pretty fantastic cars, including the Bugatti Chiron and the Ford GT. All of the typical Top Gear segments appear to be present, though the quick cuts don't give us many details. The trailer shows a copious amount of powerslides from an assortment of cars, and even Chris Harris racing around Daytona. Aside from the Bugatti and Ford, cars from Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, Aston Martin, and Alfa Romeo are all present. Co-hosts Eddie Jordan and Sabine Schmitz don't appear at all, so it seems their roles may be downplayed to focus on three guys, as was the case pre-reboot. We have some hope for this re-relaunched show and will be keeping an eye out for more details in the lead-up to the series premiere.

Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
