Finally.......after 29 years of enjoyment, the owner has decided to say goodbye to her pride and joy. Purchased in 1985, the owner and her husband did a complete frame off restoration of this beauty, and she has only put on 12,407 miles since it's completion in 2000. This car was built right twice. Once by old Henry Ford himself, and again by this couple. This is a numbers matching Ford that is completely stock in appearance except it was upgraded to a 12 volt electrical system with Petronix ignition, and a 57 intake manifold with Holly 390 four barrel carburetor was installed. The original intake manifold and carb go with the car if desired. Also, the name painted on the deck lid will be removed without damage to the paint if desired. Power steering and fender skirts were the only options added when originally purchased. The engine is the stock re-built original 272 v8 connected to the Fordomatic transmission. The am radio has an fm converter added. I am assisting the owner in the sale of this great classic, and upon close inspection was not able to notice any area that has any signs of rust or filler. This car is solid and runs and drives perfectly. I did see two extremely minor flaws which include a small ding on one piece of stainless that is barely noticeable, and a tiny pinhole and scrape on a lower corner of the top as shown in one of the pictures. We have priced the car WELL BELOW #2 prices and WAY BELOW #1 prices shown in NADA, Hemmings Price Guide, and the Collector Car Price Guide. It is also priced well below comparable vehicles shown in the Old Car Auction Bible for auction prices realized in 2012 & 2013 that covers 50 national auctions across the country. So here is your chance to make a solid investment where you can already be ahead in the game while enjoying miles & miles of fun as you drive it rather than sitting at your computer watching the stock market. If you have less than 3 positive eBay feedback, you MUST first e-mail your name and phone number for me to call before bidding or your bid may be cancelled. A $500 non-refundable deposit must be received within 48 hours of auction end with balance in full received within 7 calendar days of end of auction. Cash or bank wire transfer gets immediate possession of car and title. If you have any questions or would like to arrange a personal viewing please call Jack at 330/389-0456. I don't use texting, so please call or use eBay mail. I am assisting the owner in this sale and can get answers to most questions you may have. |

What an Atlas-based Ford F-150 might look like
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Just ahead of January's Detroit Auto Show, surprising rumors pegged Ford as revealing some sort of F-150 concept, perhaps as a hurried effort to deflate some of the buzz building around General Motors' new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins, which were also making their auto show debut. Those rumblings turned out to be true, as Ford rolled into the Motor City with its Atlas concept (inset, right), touting the truck's bold styling as a precursor to the next-generation F-Series.
The show truck featured all kinds of clever details, including active wheel shutters and a front air dam that raised and lowered to improve aerodynamics while preserving off-road ability. It also had a genuinely snarly face. And it's that pugnacious snout that may well be on its way to production. The good folks at TopSpeed have worked up the plausible-looking artist's rendering above by cross-referencing the Atlas concept with what little has been revealed from recent spy shots. The look is toned-down pretty dramatically from the concept truck, but its Atlas roots are clear, with a massive three-bar grille and bracket-shaped headlamps hiding a next-generation EcoBoost engine. In the rendering, the show truck's deeply contoured hood and roofline have been ditched and larger, more traditional side mirrors have been fitted - all likely concessions in the move to production sheetmetal.
While Ford has yet to officially announce when it will unveil the 2015 F-150, all signs point to next year's Detroit Auto Show - one year after the Atlas shrugged off GM's new pickups.
Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.
Ford's Farley apologizes for saying Blue Oval tracks customers with GPS
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Ford marketing head honcho Jim Farley made waves at CES this week by telling show attendees, "We know everyone who breaks the law, we know when you're doing it." according to a report by Business Insider. Farley continued by saying, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone."
Farley has since amended his statement, saying that Ford dose not, in fact, track its customers in their cars "without their approval or consent."
Apparently carried away with a hypothetical notion, Farley was attempting to describe how Ford might be able to employee aggregated user data for things like accurate traffic reporting and pattern spotting. A Ford spokesperson confirmed with Business Insider that its GPS units are not sharing the whereabouts of drivers, though there are a few on-board services that might do so. After opting in to the services (and presumably being made aware of any/all tracking and data collection), Ford's Sync Services Directions and Crew Chief software do, in fact, allow data collection as a means of improving both systems. Farley added that the opt-in data is not shared, even when being tracked.
