We have owned this beauty for five years. It has been a daily driver for my wife. We have put about 60k miles on it since purchasing. Runs good, sounds good. Excellent starting point for a complete restoration. She is ready for a different toy.
I personally sanded the entire car down three years ago for paint. Body is solid. No rust on the body. Some minor rust under front floorboards. Less than 1 cup of body filler on the entire car. Truly an excellent Georgia car. Recently replaced all four tires, rear brakes, rear wheel bearing on passenger side, carpet is new, battery is less than a year old, power steering pump was replaced about two years ago. The interior was redone before we bought it. The dashboard and door panels are very nice. The dash board has not been cut. The stereo is mounted under the air conditioner. Still has the original radio. The engine runs strong. About due for a tune up, starting to get a little hesitation. We have been back and forth to Georgia several times. It rides beautifully on the open highway. Here's the ugly. The antenna is broken. The seats and interior are in good shape. The front seat has one split seam. The pulley on the power steering is warped, it wobbles. Apparently it finally wore out the seal. It leaks fluid. The AC compressor will need to be replaced. AC not working now. The steering is sloppy. The tie rods and bushings seem solid, the steering box seems to be the issue. The flywheel was replaced with a cheap one last year. Not well balanced. It shakes some from that. The horn contact plate is worn out. Horn doesn't work. All in all, this is a great car. We honestly don't care if we sell it or not. Just thinking it's time for a new toy. Might flex on the price. Cash talks. Also willing to consider a partial trade on an older VW convertible or another convertible. Not looking for an even trade. There will be cash involved. Getting ready for a project car. I will get more pictures up ASAP. |

Ford bondage ads reportedly trigger firings at Indian ad agency
Wed, 27 Mar 2013You will probably remember the ads for the Ford Figo hatchback in India, the ones that showcased the extra large boot of the little hatchback by joking that you can fit three of your enemies in the trunk. One of the ads had Michael Schumacher in the front seat, obviously pleased about having Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso tied up in the back. But the other two had Paris Hilton and ex-Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi up front and three bound and gagged women in the back - in Hilton's case (shown above), it was the Kardashians.
This did not go over well, and Reuters reports that certain employees at JWT India have been fired over the matter. It is also reported that the images weren't actual advertisements, nor were they part of an actual campaign; JWT said they "were never intended for paid publication, were never requested by our Ford client." A JWT rep said the employees who created the ads did so on their own, Ford commented to Automotive News that the ads were "part of a creative exercise intended to test concepts for an advertising competition."
The problem, if the story is to be believed, is that the employees skipped the regular review protocols and uploaded their work to an ad industry site - they were found on Ads of the World. That page, like the employees, has been removed.

2016 Ford Explorer embarks at the LA Auto Show
Wed, 29 Oct 2014Twenty-five years since its debut in 1990, Ford will celebrate a quarter century of Explorer models next year with the debut of a refreshed 2016 model at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19. The Blue Oval is keeping mum on hard details about the updated SUV for now, but the brand promises, "a new look, added capability and additional driver-assist technology," in its announcement.
Company marketing boss Jim Farley elaborated a little more on what to expect. "The new Explorer is still the SUV America fell in love with - a vehicle built for the perfect family adventure," he said in the release that you're welcome to read down below.
An updated Explorer is a pretty big deal for Ford's bottom line. Worldwide, SUVs and crossovers account for about 23 percent of Ford's sales, and the segment is projected to grow to around 29 percent by 2020. Ford further says that SUVs and CUVs are the world's quickest growing segment with demand up 88 percent since 2008.
