This project is WELL on it's way (as you can see by the photos) to becoming a nice ride once again. 

The body has only a few places that need to be worked out. I can't say how fast or slow it will take to knock it all out, but I estimate between one to five full days depending on what level restoration you want. The only rust out is the driver floor board. New sheet metal is included with the project for that repair. 
The exterior aluminum trim pieces have a few dings but a repairable.

Just about the only gear left to buy to complete the interior is the seat covers, but if you're going to go that route, you could use new seat cushions. I don't have the package tray or the optional dash-pad either. Included is just about all the new rubber (grommets, door seals, window seals, bumpers, etc.), if there are any missing, it isn't much. The carpet is new and rolled up, headliner is the cream crater. door panels are still in the plastic, opened, but still there. I sprang for the higher quality window felt. There is also wind lace, but I am not 100% sure it was the original color for the Palomino interior.

There is a new gas tank not installed yet. The wheels are good but could use a clean-up. The tires have held air for over a year sitting inside. I drove it up to the building but it coughed up and died. Turns out the carburetor that was on it was junk and rigged up. I bought the original model carb that happened to be in the original box. I have the right carb spacer. It was nasty, so I cleaned, glass blasted it and honed it a little. I cleaned the fouled platinum plugs and re-installed them (have a set of Iridium plugs NIB). The Edelbrock cleaner cover is blank finned, it doesn't have the Edelbrock logo written across it. If you want to use it on the carb, you'll need an adapter, the inside diameter of the cover is too large for the OD on the carb. The filter is a K&N. The plug wires installed are new, as is the regulator. I also have a new distributor cap installed. The Pertronix Ignitor kit is still in the box. The valve cover was lightly blasted and repainted with high temp red crackle paint.

There is a wolf whistle under the hood. Again, all the hood rubber is included. As far as the old parts, there is a bunch of them, in fact most everything you need is there except a good windshield, the Ford tail letters, and the chrome spears.

Most of the receipts are included. Which total around $1800. There are several parts included that there is no receipt for. The paperwork to file for a bonded title is included. I have owned the car for about two years now, the previous owner had the car for about the same length. The information for the previous owner to that is in the paperwork I have from the State of Texas. I will even forward the correspondence I have to a title company that I was going to use.

That covers most of it. 

Please ask any questions and post any concerns you have before the end of the sale.

Thank you kindly.

Consumer Reports: Ford Fusion fun but flawed; Mitsubishi i-MiEV slow, chintzy [w/videos]

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Waiting for a Ford compliment from Consumer Reports these days is like waiting for a low-cost new product from Apple. So we weren't really expecting a glowing review of the 2013 Ford Fusion when CR got its hands on the car. The institute's crew bought three different versions of the Fusion (Hybrid, 1.6-liter EcoBoost and a Titanium with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost) to put through its barrage of tests, and while we aren't too surprised by some of the findings, they're still interesting nonetheless.
CR praises the Fusion for its "eye-catching" design and says that the sportier Titanium trim level is the best-handling midsize sedan they've ever tested, but that's about where the good news ends for Ford. The Fusion Hybrid also posted the best-ever fuel economy CR has recorded in a midsize sedan, but the only problem is that their number was 39 miles per gallon combined - far less than Ford's 47 mpg rating for city, highway and combined. As expected, CR also dinged the Fusion for its MyFord Touch, but some of the other gripes about the car include a cramped cabin and poor fit and finish.
Other Ford products tested this time around include the Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid. Like the Fusion, CR's observed fuel economy of 37 mpg for the C-Max fell well short of Ford's advertised 47-mpg rating, and both cars were criticized for the use of MyFord Touch. CR notes that the Focus Electric's interior is also cramped, with the battery pack taking up a lot of cargo space.

Obama to herald auto industry turnaround from idled Ford plant

Tue, Jan 6 2015

President Barack Obama will tout the recent successes of the American auto industry in a speech on Wednesday. This would be a fine and dandy plan aside from two small hitches. First, the president is visiting Ford's Wayne, MI factory, which is rather strange considering the government bailed out the company's local rivals, Chrysler and General Motors. Even more worrying, considering the topic of the speech, is that the Wayne facility has been idled due to a lack of demand. According to The Detroit News, the White House said the speech will focus on "the workers in the resurgent American automotive and manufacturing sector now that the auto rescue has been completed and the decision to save the auto industry and the over one million jobs that went with it." Wayne Assembly employs some 5,100 Michiganders when its lines are up and running, but as gas prices have plunged below $2 per gallon in some areas over the past month, its fuel-efficient products – the Focus and C-Max – have seen their sales plummet, as well. In December, the Focus' year-over-year sales were down 4.4 percent, while the C-Max dipped 3.3 percent, Ford told The News. Lagging sales for the two compacts aren't a new thing, though. Focus sales in all of 2014 were down 6.4 percent, while the C-Max struggled with a 21.6-percent drop last year. According to The News, Ford made the decision to idle the factory before being approached by the White House. Considering that, we wonder what the team at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was thinking when it selected the Ford facility, and what impact the location will have on the president's message.

2015 F-150 launch to curb Ford profits?

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Ford is making a big bet on aluminum with its new 2015 F-150, and it's possible that the decision will hurt the company financially, at least in the short term. After earning a record $8.6 billion in 2013, the Blue Oval does not expect to set another record in 2014. According to Automotive News, that's "largely attributable to F Series," says Bob Shanks, Ford's Chief Financial Officer.
To retool for the new F-150, Ford will idle its Dearborn Truck Plant in Michigan for 11 weeks and the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant in Missouri for 2 weeks. "3 of the 13 overall weeks occur during what normally is our summer shutdown timeframe," said Mike Levine, Ford Trucks Communication Manager, in an email to Autoblog. The extra 10 weeks will be preparing for the more aluminum-intensive construction for the trucks and will mean over 2 months of no F-150s being made. For comparison's sake, Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne just confirmed that the 200 plant in Sterling Heights, MI will be down for 30 days to retool for the new model, but obviously there are many more F-150 production variables than for the midsize sedan.
Levine notes that Ford is already running three shifts at both plants, and says the automaker has plans to ensure that there is adequate supply of the full-size pickups during the retooling process. The company does not want to suffer a shortage of the vehicle that accounted for 31-percent of its 2013 US sales and an even bigger percentage of its profits.
