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.

Ford F-250 boots Cadillac Escalade from atop thieves' most-wanted list

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

The Ford F-Series has been America's best-selling truck for decades, but along with the good comes the bad, apparently. In addition to being popular with consumers, the Highway Loss Data Institute notes that the F-Series Super Duty has risen in popularity among thieves. Based on its new study, the four-wheel drive crew cab F-250 Super Duty has topped the list for the country's highest rate of insurance theft claims, knocking the Cadillac Escalade from the top spot - a distinction the luxury SUV has held since this annual report was first established in 2003.
To reach its findings, HLDI looks at theft data from the previous three model years (in this case 2010-2012) to determine the frequency of claims for a particular make and mode,l as well as the average payment per claim. As the report points out, the claims aren't always for the theft of the entire vehicle - they can include components (say, wheels and tires) or property taken from the vehicle. At seven claims per 1,000 insured vehicles, the F-250 is six times more likely to suffer a theft claim than the average vehicle.
The Cadillac likely dropped from the top of the list to sixth due to additional theft-prevention features including a steering wheel lock and inclination sensor for the alarm, but GM's other fullsize trucks and SUVs still occupy eight of the list's 10 spots. Some of the least stolen vehicles with below-average loss payments include the Lexus HS250h, Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V and Dodge Journey. Head on over to the HLDI's website for the full list that shows the most and least popular vehicles among thieves from 2010 through 2012.

Ford starting up 2.0L EcoBoost engine production in Ohio

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Joe Hinrichs, Ford's President of The Americas (pictured above), announced today that in late 2014, the automaker will be building the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder at its Cleveland Engine Plant, a move requiring a $200-million investment and the hiring of 450 new employees. European-built Ford products will continue to source this engine from the Valencia, Spain plant where all of these EcoBoost four-cylinder engines are currently built, and the new Cleveland engines will be used for all North American-made models.
Ford is planning to build its popular EcoBoost engines regionally to maximize production capacity and meet customer demand. Last year, Ford sold 334,364 vehicles with EcoBoost engines in the US alone, and that number is expected to swell to more than 500,000 by the end of this year, with global sales expected to total 1.6 million. By 2015, Ford says that 95 percent of its nameplates will offer an EcoBoost engine.
One such vehicle that could be adding an EcoBoost engine, according to Automotive News, is none other than the 2015 Ford Mustang. The report says that Ford could use either the 2.0-liter EcoBoost or an upcoming 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the sixth-generation pony car.
