Engine had Cobra valve covers and front of engine has a serpentine belt,don;t know if it came that way or was changed.New tires were installed on factory wheels.While it was in the shop a young boy backed a riding tractor into shop and barely skinned the passengers door. A very thin layer of fiberglass was professionally applied and repainted with matching ford lime paint.Car has A/C compressor on engine and condenser,but needs under dash unit to operate.I purchased one,but it has not been installed on car,if buyer wants it, and additional fee of $400.00 will be required.The car has no rust in floor pans or trunk,body is solid and straight except for the small place on the passenger door. It is running and driving,however still needs minor bugs worked out,so I would suggest the car be trailered home. Exterior chrome is in very good condition with minor rust in the corner curves,trim is very good.Seats are bench, front seat has about a 1" repaired place where the seat folds forwars to let someone in rear seat. Rear seat ,headliner,and decklid look beautiful as well as door panels. The dash has no cracks or splits,.all of interior is black. New 14" itres were installed on the factory rims. The mileage reads 35979,however due to not being able to get signed document from original owner (deceased) the Virginia DMV states the car is in excess of 100k miles.They are real sticklers for that.All the glass is good no cracks or fading.The rubber spacer that sits against the two front side glasses needs replacing.as well as the dome light,needs replacing.,its there but lens has broken. I have a catalog that the parts are listed in and they are not to expensive,its just that I have so much money invested I can't proceed as I have become 100% disabled and am no longer able to work as I used to.

Perferred method of payment is PAYPAL,or USPS money order,or Certified Bank Check only. I have driven the car and it runs very good and trans shifts so smooth it is unreal.the mechanic I had do all the work for me said the trans had brass clutches in it,the best according to him.The car was a special order as it came with auto trans,not straight gear.The reserve is  very reasonable for a car of this caliber,you sure don't see many around and it draws  attention when you drive it.Paypal address is lukeosi@comcast.net.

Are you a new Ford Mustang SVO? [w/video]

Fri, 16 May 2014

When Ford announced that its 2015 Mustang would arrive with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, three letters came to mind: SVO. While Ford hasn't said a word regarding the rebirth of a Mustang SVO model, this latest set of spy shots shows us something very, very interesting. Allow us to explain.
The Mustang prototype in these photos looks very similar to the GT500 test cars we've spotted before - same bulging hood, aggressive front fascia and air vents aft of the front wheels. What's different, however, is around back. Have a look at the exhaust, and note that instead of the GT500's usual quad pipes, two of the exhaust outlets have been capped off.
Our spies point out that these exhaust outlets could be closed for some sort of emissions testing or another engineering reason, but it's also important to note that the engine and exhaust notes of this car sound completely different from earlier GT500 prototypes. We've got a video below that compares the two.

Ford making Fusion production moves to challenge Camry on volume

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

The Ford Fusion may already beat the Toyota Camry in terms of models offered, transaction price and sales increase so far this year, but if the Fusion wants to make a run at the title of best-selling car in the US, Bloomberg reminds us that volume is key. Opening a second production line at the Flat Rock, MI assembly plant will reportedly allow Ford to produce around 350,000 Fusions annually, which compares Toyota's ability to crank out 475,000 Camrys and Honda's capacity to build around 450,000 Accords.
For the Fusion, that's an extra 100,000 units compared to the car's current pace, and the article adds that the Fusion is "Ford's best shot" to regain the passenger car sales crown - a title it (or any other US automaker, for that matter) hasn't held since the mid-1990s. Despite hiccups with recalls and fuel economy numbers, the Ford Fusion is still red hot when it comes to sales. Fusion sales are up 13 percent so far this year (compared to a 0.6 percent decrease for Camry), and its average transaction price of $26,343 is about $2,300 more than its rival from Toyota.
The Fusion's popularity has helped Ford improve its sales in California; the Dearborn-based automaker has a market share of 18 percent in the state, which is just a fraction of a percentage behind Honda. And this popularity should continue as Ford ups Fusion production and expands the model lineup even further for 2014 with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine soon to become an option.

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers

Sun, Mar 29 2015

As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.
