1971 Ford LTD Convertible

This is a nice car that was last owned by a collector who passed away in South Carolina. The collector owned the car as the second owner and had the car since 27,000 miles and the car now has 62,000 original miles on it. This is a very nice driver and has been driven less than 1500 miles per year since new. Based on service history it looks like the car has only been driven about 2000 miles since the 1990’s so she did sit around for a while.

This car does have the optional 400 V8 engine and the very rare for a convertible factory A/C. The compressor for the A/C does work but the system is low on R12 and needs to be topped off. The car goes down the road very nice and starts right every time you turn the key. Brakes are good and the tires are almost new on the car, the top is also in good condition with no rips or holes in it. It looks like the original spare tire is still in the trunk and the jack etc. is also present in the trunk.

I have driven this car around for the past year and it’s a fun car but with a 4 and 2 year old I am looking to sell it and buy a hardtop so they don’t get blown away in the rear seat. The body on the car is nice and straight and the paint is nice with a few blemishes here and there (please see photos). The car does have a couple small bubbles on the left front fender (see photo) and on the right front fender (again see photo). The only other bubbles that I have noticed are just behind the convertible top and small amount on the deck lid (again see photos). The car would probably benefit from a carb rebuild and tune up from sitting but like I said she starts up every time and goes down the road nice.

As I mentioned this is a very nice driver and is well represented at local cruise nights but is not a 100 point show car by any means. All the chrome is very respectable on the car and like I said the body is straight. Please feel free to come and look/drive the car prior to bidding so you know exactly what you are buying or email me specific questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability. I hate to see the car go but with the kids right now this one just sits around more than anything else these days. Car is sold in AS-IS condition.

Detroit 3 and UAW could create healthcare pool

Thu, Sep 3 2015

Healthcare costs continue to multiply in the US with no clear end in sight, but the United Auto Workers and the Big Three are negotiating a way to rapid growth under control. As part of the latest contract talks, the union has an idea to create a healthcare pool across all of its members at Ford, General Motors, and FCA US. If accepted, the company-wide integration would spread out the expenses and create a massive member base for bargaining with insurance companies. Both Ford and GM are at least considering the proposal, according to The Detroit News, and FCA US might be on board, as well. The idea is the work of current UAW president Dennis Williams and is based on the similar pool for the Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association for retirees. "I've walked through this several ways; I just don't have any other answer," Williams said to The Detroit News. "I do believe this will work. It's worked with the VEBA." Williams was elected UAW president last year and won by an overwhelming margin. He vowed no more concessions to automakers. In addition to healthcare, the two-tier wage system is another major talking point in the contract negotiation because it gives fewer benefits to entry-level workers. Higher wages are also a request. Healthcare costs are a massive expense for automakers and are expected to reach over $2 billion this year, according to The Detroit News. The payments are up nearly 50 percent or more in just the last four years.

Ford board pushing Mulally for decision amidst fears story is drowning out other news

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Automakers and their executives rarely like to divulge information regarding future goings on, but the board of directors at Ford sound like they're getting a little antsy about chief executive officer Alan Mulally and his plans for 2014.
According to Reuters, as news of Mulally's possible departure to Microsoft continues to swirl, Ford's board is looking to push the affable executive to make a decision about his future sooner rather than later. Apparently, the board is growing concerned that this will-he/won't-he drama may end up distracting the media from covering Ford's other big news events next year - items like the debut of key all-new products like the Mustang and F-150.
So far, the picture for Mulally's eventual successor remains fuzzy, but it's understood that the leading candidate remains the company's chief operating officer, Mark Fields. Just recently, we heard that Mulally will stay until the end of 2014, but a few months ago, Ford seemed open to the idea of him stepping down earlier than that.
