Additional Equipment: Global West caster/camber adjusters. Factory-installed mounts are non-adjustable, usually 0°-1° caster, and 0° camber, resulting in “wander” at speed, and “plow” while cornering. The adjusters allow for more positive caster, and negative camber, which greatly improves handling. Fan has manual override switch, to prevent overheating or A/C problem in summer, bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Recent Maintenance:

Engine rear main oil seal, clutch release bearing, rear transmission seal; cable “dumbbell” clutch linkage connector; timing belt (Gatorback) and tensioner; MSD 8.5 plug wires and boots; all engine and related hoses; reman rack & pinion 1.5 ratio steering; 24FX battery w/960 CA and stainless hold-down (original style battery no longer available); Front wheel bearings and seals

Past Maintenance:

New A/C compressor, dryer, custom hose with fixed orifice tube; ignition TFI module, stator, and coil; new water pump; both universal joints; rear axles, bearings and seals (vehicle has C-clip axles, which must be replaced with new bearings); brake master cylinder, calipers and rear cylinders, all flexible lines.

I am the original owner, and have done all of the maintenance and repair myself, with the exception of the A/C vacuum test and initial charge, and the wheel alignment.

Interior:

Front seats are like new - have always been covered with terry cloth covers. All upholstery and plastic trim are perfect, with the exception of the plastic door armrest supports, which are broken. I’ve seen the repair done on TV car repair shows - they used fiberglass cloth and resin over a screen form to fix the armrests.

Exterior:

Never hit; no repairs; no rust; garaged, not left in sun.

Crowdsource funding push on to save historic Ford buildings

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

Detroit has no shortage of old, abandoned buildings, both within the city and in the surrounding communities. Few, though, have the historical significance of the old Ford Highland Park facility. Home to the very first moving assembly line, Highland Park was designed by the legendary Albert Kahn, and was one of the homes of the Model T.
Now, the Woodward Avenue Action Association is attempting to buy both the 40,000-square-foot admin building, which is located off the historic Woodward Avenue, and an 8,000-square-foot garage. The WAAA's goal is to convert the buildings into an automotive heritage center. The Detroit News spoke to the interim director of the WAAA, Deborah Schutt, who commented, "[Metro Detroit has] not been very good at telling our own story. So we've decided, let's pull everything together and tell our story."
The WAAA made an offer of $550,000 to buy the two buildings, and has $400,000 from the Michigan Department of Transportation and another $15,000 from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. It's trying to raise a further $125,000 through crowd-sourcing, starting a campaign called "Five Dollars A Day," after old Hank Ford's $5-per-day wage for line workers.

FCA to pay buyers $1,700 to swap out of scandal-mired VWs

Tue, Oct 6 2015

FCA is trying to gain some sales from arch-rival VW in the competitive European market by offering potential buyers in Italy up to $1,700 to swap into an FCA group car. While the promotion isn't specifically targeted at TDI owners affected by the emissions scandal, it is clearly intended to turn dissatisfaction with VW's defeat device cheat into additional sales, Bloomberg reports. The 500-1,500 euro incentive (roughly $560-1,700, depending on vehicle) stacks on top of any other rebates or deals applicable, and applies if a buyer brings in any of Volkswagen Group's cars – including Audi, Skoda, and SEAT, among (many) others. As Bloomberg notes, it's normal for automakers to offer "conquest" deals Â– giving a buyer cash for trading in a competitor's vehicle. Those deals aren't usually limited to one company's products, however; FCA's program looks specifically to take advantage of VW's legal and public relations nightmare. FCA isn't the only automaker trying this trick in Italy. Automotive News Europe also reported that Ford is offering approximately $840 in incentives across its entire range to owners of VW vehicles seeking to trade in for a Ford. No word of yet as to whether these incentives will spread beyond Italy or to other automakers.Related Video:
