This 2 door sedan has less than 1,000 true miles on it. It is equipped with a 292 cu. in. V8, Automatic Trans., Power Steering and AC. ( AC needs recharged).
There is no rust in this body and only a couple small dings down low on the Quarter panels. Minor damage to the stainless trim on the drivers side rear quarter.
This car was bought new by a man in Chicago and shortly after he bought a Caddy and this Ford was parked under a car port for about 10 years before being put into storage.
When I purchased it there was only 827 miles it. When I started detailing it, after years in storage, I discovered that it had several mechanical problems that may have led to it being parked. The damper pulley was broken when engine was installed so the power steering belt would not stay in place. The right rear brake was assembled wrong and it is a wonder he did not loose his brakes. The heater blower motor was not grounded so it would not blow air. The heat control cable was hooked to the outside fresh air vent so there was never any heat on a cold Chicago January. You hear stories about cars being built on a Friday afternoon or a Monday morning and this car was one of those.
The paint on the hood, top and trunk has blemishes from the smog and acid air in Chicago. The paint on the sides is nice and shinny
The interior is nearly perfect and done in Silver, Gray and black. The floors are factory rubber and has the original mat.
This beauty is a perfect candidate for a museum or you can take your whole family on a summer cruise if you so choose.
I do not have any paper documentation to prove that is what I am saying it is, but I have restored enough Fords in my days to have the knowledge to know an original car and this is one. My buy it now price is more than fair so do not waste my time with a low ball offer.
Come and inspect it and you will fall in love with it.

Can an actual Ford F-150 ride on 4 Power Wheels F-150s?
Tue, Dec 9 2014A lot of kids are rough on their toys, especially when it comes to those made to be used outside, like a four-wheeled kid-size Power Wheels. Whether it's cruising through the sand box, carrying piles of rocks in the driveway or crashing around trees in the backyard, these motorized vehicles often take punishment from the moment the giftwrap comes off. The folks at Fisher-Price decided to give their latest F-150 Power Wheels a true torture test worse than any kid could have ever managed by setting a real 2015 Ford F-150 on top of four of them. Would the little toy trucks explode in a shower of plastic shards in a massive collapse, and if not, could they drive away afterwards? The latest F-150 might be 700 pounds lighter thanks to the switch to aluminum, but it's still a fullsize pickup. According to this clip, the truck weighs in at 4,120 pounds, which puts an average of 1,030 pounds on each of the toys. Check out the video above to see how the stunt goes, and click on the gallery below for some behind-the-scenes looks at the setup.
Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
