been spent and the starting bid is $4000 below what has already been
invested not counting any labor. Factory purple car. I am selling because we sold our
property and now live in a condo with no place to finish the car.The
car was stripped to bear metal body work done and primed with etching
and urethene primer. The lower was painted with acrylic lacquer but
needs to be blocked and more coats applied. The car comes with a full
unthinned gallon of acrylic snowshoe white lacquer.for the upper
half.The seats, door panels.,and arm rests have been reupholstered to
match original. A new correct white headliner needs to installed. A
new black carpet has been installed along with the front seat. A Idaho
donor car was purchased and the floor and supports were cut out and
installed in the car. I had to drive the car to the car hauler and it
ran good with no smoke. The car is 100% complete with a lot of extra
parts trunk, grills, parking light aasy,stainless etc. I am not going
to write another check for storage so everything goes with the car.
The car needs to be finished painting and the body parts
re-installed.The car comes with a transferable ownership registration.

Ford posts decade-best $2.1B profit in Q1 2013

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

As predicted, Ford has reported that its first quarter of 2013 was a resounding success overall, with a pretax profit of $2.1 billion ($0.41 per share), and a net income of $1.6 billion ($0.40 per share). In fact, Ford made a pretax profit of some $2.4 billion in its home North American market, with that total number being pulled down by losses in South America and Europe. That gaudy North American profit is the strongest result by the automaker since 2000.
Ford's companywide profit for Q1 was down $147 million from one year ago, while the net income number marked an increase of $215 million year over year. Overall, this is Ford's 15th-consecutive profitable quarter.
The bad news from the European market was even worst in Q1 2013 than it was last year. Pretax losses of $462 million - on revenue of $6.7 billion - represented a year-over-year change of -$313 million. In South American, the company reported a loss of $218 million, down from a slim profit of $54 million in Q1 2012. The news was better for Ford Asia Pacific Africa, where a $6 million pretax profit in 2013 showed a year-over-year gain of some $101 million when compared to losses in 2012.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
