Up for auction. I have a 1988 Ford Crown Vic . I purchased this car for my son to use but he travels too far away so he bought a new small car. This car is originally from Florida ( all paperwork included). The owner passed away and the car was sold and brought to Ontario Canada. To the best of my knowledge the car has been in this country for almost 3 years.

The car is in very good condition, it does have 2 very small surface rust spots starting where the tail light cones meet the rear quarter panels but they are very minor, the car also has a very small dent on the rear driverside door ( perhaps a shopping cart ?) the wheel well trim is missing from the rear right side. there are also a small scrape mark on the right front corner which only removed a little paint from the filler panel between the bumper and the front fender. The car has been rust proofed and is evident under the car as well as under the doors and door jams. The paint is very good for the age of the car and the chrome is almost perfect The interior has what appears to be a small mark in the drivers seat ( not a tear )  but otherwise is in very good shape. the car is fully loaded and all power options work well except the a/c , there is no oil leaks around the clutch on the compressor and all lines appear to be in good shape so my guess is the a/c only needs a charge. The car was regularly serviced and has had the following new parts installed.... New Battery, new alternator, new rear U joint, new brake lines , rotors, ignition module and a complete tuneup. The engine is a 5.0 liter EFI V8 and runs like new . The transmission is a 4 speed automatic and shifts very smooth. The car also has a rated 6000 pound towing hitch as well as a transmission cooler. I have no reserves on driving this car anywhere in North America ! It is very smooth on the highway and has lots of power !

Please dont hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions or would like more pictures of the car !

In the province of Ontario you must certify a car to be safe and road worthy as well as an emissions test.... I have had both done and the car passed with flying colors !

Buyer is responsible for shipping the car or pick up from my driveway.

This car is for sale locally and if sold the auction will be cancelled .

Winning bidder must put a 500.00 non refundable deposit via paypal within 48 hours. Full payment is required within 7 days of auction end. 

NOTE .... IF YOUR BID WINS THIS CAR, THIS IS A BINDING AGREEMENT ! ANY BIDDERS WITH LESS THAN A FEEDBACK OF 5 MUST CONTACT ME OR MAY BE REMOVED FROM BIDDING ON THIS CAR !

No Warranty of any kind applys with this car.

Uber hopes facilities in Detroit will help shape its autonomous future

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Hot off the heels of unleashing its fleet of self-driving vehicles in Pittsburgh, PA, Uber announced plans to open a new facility in the Detroit, MI area, reports Automotive News. The new facility was announced at an event hosted by Society of Automotive Engineers in Detroit, MI. Uber's vice president of global vehicle programs Sherif Marakby revealed the news, reports Automotive News. The facility is meant to help the ride-sharing company collaborate with suppliers and automakers in the area. There's no word on where Uber will build the new facility or how big it will be, as those factors have yet to be determined. Just like Pittsburgh, PA, Detroit, MI could become another testing ground for the ride-sharing company. The latest move to open a facility in the Detroit area comes after Uber offered users in Pittsburgh the chance to ride in one of its autonomous vehicle as it looks to gain vital real-world testing. Uber is utilizing a fleet of modified Ford Fusions. Earlier this year in April, the automaker announced a partnership with Google, Lyft, Uber, and Volvo to develop autonomous cars. A new facility in Detroit would strengthen the partnership and help Uber, as well as Ford put autonomous vehicles on the road faster.

Ford reflects on radical Mustang concept that never reached showrooms

Tue, 25 Jun 2013

The Ford Mustang that we all know and love made major waves in the auto industry way back in 1964 by offering style and reasonable pricing with optional V8 power. Its long hood and short rear deck, combined with a low-slung and sporty cockpit, made a lasting impression in the minds of consumers and car designers alike, and its basic shape has so endured the test of time that it's still in use today.
This being the case, you may be interested to know that the first Mustang of 1964.5 wasn't actually the first Mustang at all, being preceded by a concept car that made its public debut in 1962. This concept was nothing like the car that would eventually make it into production, with a radical wedge shape and a small V4 engine sitting behind the car's two occupants, driving the rear wheels. In other words, the conceptual Mustang was pretty much the complete opposite of the production Mustang besides the name.
Ford has kindly decided go through its massive archive to bring the original Mustang concept back into the public eye. The company goes so far as to pose this question to fans of the pony car: "Should we borrow a few of these style elements for the next iteration of the Mustang?"

Ford exec downplays idea of aluminum-intensive cars

Thu, Jan 15 2015

Ford certainly made waves when it rolled out the all-new 2015 F-150 made primarily out of aluminum. But while trimming weight off its vehicles is a top priority for the Detroit automaker, we shouldn't expect the lightweight metal to be used as widely on passenger cars as it has been on its new pickup. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress on Wednesday, top Ford exec Joe Hinrichs said that using aluminum in passenger cars isn't as beneficial as it is in trucks – primarily because the weight savings isn't as dramatic, or as deeply needed. Though improved fuel economy is certainly one advantage of aluminum construction in a truck like the F-150, low prices at the pump have prompted Ford to highlight another advantage, and that's capability: With less weight on its own, a lighter-weight truck can carry and tow more than a heavier one, because it all comes down to combined weight ratings. Ford is expected to make the new F-Series Super Duty largely out of aluminum for the same reasons, and we wouldn't be surprised to see the next Expedition use the material as well. But while certain components in Ford passenger cars will be made of aluminum, we shouldn't expect entire chassis and bodywork assemblies to use the material as extensively as on the F-150, or on more upscale passenger cars from the likes of Audi or Jaguar. Dearborn is, however, investing in other lightweight materials. It has a joint venture with Dow Chemical to put carbon fiber into mass production, much as BMW has with its i3. The Blue Oval will use a combination of carbon and aluminum on its 2017 GT supercar, and it has stripped weight by removing amenities from the 2016 Mustang GT350R, but apparently neither is a method Ford can practically apply to its volume models.
