THIS CAR JUST CAME OUT OF 15 YEARS OF STORAGE.  THE BODY IS PRETTY SOLID AND WAS REPAINTED THE ORIGINAL BLACK.  IT STILL HAS A DECENT SHINE. IT IS A NICE DRIVER QUALITY PAINT JOB. THERE ARE SOME MINOR NICKS, SCUFFS AND SMALL AREAS WHERE THE PAINT CHIPPED (WHEEL WELL) ALL JUST TYPICAL FOR AGE.  THE CAR HAS HAD SOME PREVIOUS BODY WORK.  THE TRUNK IS VERY SOLID. THE FLOORS HAVE HAD SOME WORK IN THE PAST AND HAVE A FEW SPOTS OF RUST ON THEM.  THEY ARE NOT BAD AND THERE ARE NO STRUCTURAL ISSUES.  THE CONVERTIBLE TOP AND REAR WINDOW ARE IN VERY NICE CONDITION. THEY WERE REPLACED RIGHT BEFORE THE CAR WENT INTO STORAGE.  THE BUMPERS AND TRIM ARE IN NICE CONDITON, BUT NOT SHOW QUALITY. THERE ARE SOME MINOR MARKS HERE AND THERE ON THE TRIM. IT IS NOT NOTICEABLE FROM 5 FEET AWAY. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP OPERATES EASILY MANUALLY.  THE TOP DOES NOT FUNCTION WITH THE SWITCH. IM NOT SURE IF ITS A FUSE, PUMP, LINE OR WHATEVER, NEVER LOOKED INTO IT. OPERATES EASILY.

THE INTERIOR IS IN NICE CONDITION. THE SEATS, CARPET AND DOOR PANELS WERE ALSO REPLACED PRIOR TO  STORAGE. THE DASH AND GAUGES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE ALSO.  THE POWER SEAT DOES WORK. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WORK.  ALL TURN SIGNALS, AND LIGHTS WORK. ALL OF THE WINDOWS OPERATE AS THEY SHOULD.


THE ENGINE IS  A 292 V8. IT HAS A 2 SPEED AUTO TRANSMISSION. THE CAR RUNS, DRIVES AND STOPS FINE. IT PROBABLY DOES NEED A GOOD TUNE - UP.  THE ENGINE DOES NOT SMOKE, IS QUIET, AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FINE.  THE BRAKE LINES WERE REPLACED SEVERAL YEARS AGO.  FRAME IS SOLID.  THE TIRES ON THE CAR ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL HUBCAPS. THE CAR HAS 68,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS OWNED BY THE SAME FAMILY FOR 35+ YEARS.


THIS IS A VERY NICE CAR TO RESTORE OR DRIVE IT AS - IS.  THE CAR IS DECENT AND LOOKS GOOD. YOU WOULDNT BE EMBARASSED TO DRIVE IT THE WAY IT IS. THIS FAIRLANE IS ALL THERE, VERY COMPLETE AND WOULD MAKE SOMEONE A DECENT CAR.  IT DOES NEED A GOOD DETAILING. THERE ARE SOME EXTERIOR TRIM AND ODD PARTS ALSO INCLUDED IN THE SALE.

WOULD LIKE $2000 DOWN IN 2-3 DAYS AND BALANCE PRIOR TO PICKUP. ANY TYPE OF CERTIFIED FUNDS WILL BE ACCEPTED. WILL ACCEPT PAYPAL FOR DEPOSIT.  IF YOU WISH TO PAY THE BALANCE WITH PAYPAL, BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FEES. CAR IS IN CENTRAL PA AND AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION ANYTIME.

Oprah at it again, gives car away on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

Oprah Winfrey loves giving away cars. Not only has she given Pontiac G6 sedans and Volkswagen Beetle retro-mobiles to everyone in the audience of her past show, but the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she gave another car away to one lucky audience member, while yelling her now-famous line: "You get a car!"
Although the acting of Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel was obviously staged for this giveaway, the reaction from the woman in the audience was genuine shock as she found out that she had just won a new Ford Fusion Energi. Congrats!
Not to take away from what Oprah and Jimmy pulled off, but our cynical sides have to wonder if there isn't more than just a little coincidence that this giveaway took place on the same day that Ford announced a fuel economy reduction for the C-Max hybrid. You be the judge... Scroll down to watch the short clip from the episode.

180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains

Wed, 21 May 2014

If you're planning on buying a new car in the next month or so, you might want to pick from what's on the lot, because there could be a long wait for new vehicles from the factory. Locomotives continue to be in short supply in North America, and that's causing major delays for automakers trying to move assembled cars.
According to The Detroit News, there are about 180,000 new vehicles waiting to be transported by rail in North America at the moment. In a normal year, it would be about 69,000. The complications have been industry-wide. Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Ford all reported experiencing some delays, and Chrysler recently had hundreds of minivans sitting on the Detroit waterfront waiting to be shipped out.
The problem is twofold for automakers. First, the fracking boom in the Bakken oil field in the Plains and Canada is monopolizing many locomotives. Second, the long, harsh winter is still causing major delays in freight train travel. The bad weather forced trains to slow down and carry less weight, which caused a backup of goods to transport. The auto companies resorted to moving some vehicles by truck, which was a less efficient but necessary option.
