This car was a barn find.  It was sitting there for 17 years.  We pulled the car out of the barn.  I replaced the distributor cap, spark plugs and wires and the car started right up.  Except for the carburetor needs work and the old gas in the system.  The car never smoked and it sat and idled and ran great.  Except for the old gas in the system and the carburetor not working right the car is drivable.  I think the accelerator pump inside the carburetor has dried up.  The windshield is not cracked and there is no broken glass in the car.  The car had a vinyl top on it.  Someone had stripped it off so I do not have the moldings for it.  The holes are still in the roof where the moldings were.  I've looked the car over and I can't find any indication that the car has been wrecked hard but there is some body filler in a few places around the car.  The car does need some body work.  The lower left and right rear quarter panels are rusted out and the valance panel under the front bumper is damaged but there is a good one to replace it in the trunk.  I haven't looked under the car but all the floor pans seem to be solid.  I tried to take pictures of everything on the car that may be a problem so please pay attention to the pictures.  THIS CAR HAS 83,000 ORIGINAL MILES.


PLEASE PAY ATTENTION.  At the end of the auction, $500 will be paid to PayPal.  If money is not deposited in PayPal within 24 hours of the end of auction, the sale is voided.  Negative feedback will be left and the car goes back on eBay for sale.  For local pickup only.  Any cost of moving this car from this property is the sole responsibility of the buyer.  Balance to be paid when the car is picked up.  The car has to be moved within 7 days.  Serious bidders only.  Good luck.

Tanner Foust tackles 'Ring in SVT Raptor

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

Here's a math problem: if Tanner Foust has a 24 hours to kill in Germany and one blue Ford Raptor, how long will it take him to decide he wants to lap The Nürburgring? Extra credit if you can get your answer precise to the millisecond.
A very truck-like and slidey lap of the 'Ring is exactly what happened when the Ford-sponsored rallycross driver took time off from set-up duties for his 'day job.' Thankfully no one even thought to worry about posting a time, but you can watch some Raptor skid marks getting laid down between the kerbs in the video below.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:

Ford Escort is ready to focus on the Chinese market

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Ford officially revived the Escort name in China, showing of the new, four-door compact at the Beijing Motor Show. Painted in a stylish brown-bronze, the new sedan wears a number of global Ford styling cues while sharing its platform with the Ford Focus.
Power for the new model comes from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder, although Ford doesn't specify just how much power is on offer, simply saying that the fuel economy of the new mill will be "outstanding." It's unclear what transmission will be distributing the engine's power, although based on the images we've seen, the Escort will definitely offer a two-pedal setup.
The layout of the cabin is fairly clean, although as we mentioned in our initial post on the new Escort, it's a decidedly sparser environment than we've grown use to in US-spec Fords of late. If anything, it's like a weird blend of current Ford switchgear with an overall look that reminds us of older Ford layouts. Still, it looks like a comfortable way of moving five people about without too much fuss. There's ample space both front and rear, and a rather spacious trunk.
