Please read the entire description if you are considering bidding on this car. I am listing this car for a friend. It has been owned by him or one of his family members for over thirty years. In the mid 1980's it was his daily driver. During that time a low mileage 1985 or 86 Mustang GT engine was installed along with a C4 automatic transmission. In the late 80's early 90's the car came off the road and went to another family member as a father son project. A Ford eight inch five lug rear and five lug front spindles donated from a 70's Maverick or Granada were installed. Eventually it was returned to the current and former owner who I am listing it for. It has been registered in New York in his name the whole time. It comes with a clear transferable N.Y. registration. Cars this old are not titled in New York. It is a nice body style with the hardtop no post roof. It would make a good father son project. It would not take much to get it on the road and use it while you work on it. Most of what it needs is labor. Also if you keep it in this condition or improve it I think it will continue to hold it's value as they are getting harder to find. Although it needs some work it is solid where it needs to be solid. The torque boxes, rocker panels, radiator support, battery box area, rear rails and trunk floor all look good. The dash is original and has not been cut for a aftermarket stereo. The body looks solid around the front and rear windows. I tried to add as many pictures of these areas as I could. It is solid along the drip rails but I did find two small spots where the paint had chipped off and the body rusted. I will get a better picture of that and add it during the auction. I have plenty of pictures and can take more if needed for specific areas or questions. The engine fires up and sounds very good on a separate gas container. The gas tank needs to be flushed or replaced. I think the tank is the same as early Mustang but am not 100 percent sure. The brakes are not working the pedal goes to the floor. It has had some previous work floors. The worst part of the car is the area under the rear seat where some patch work is needed. The car is structurally sound and could be driven as is once the mechanical issues are resolved. Some time spent with some sheet metal and a MIG machine would make a huge improvement in this car and it's value. It has bucket seats from another car that are in fair but very usable condition. The back seat is not currently in the pictures but it is there in good condition along with front kick panels and door sill plates. The steel channel on the front was bolted to the bumper bracket holes to move the car around without damaging it. I make every effort to describe and picture my items accurately, if you have questions please ask. The car is for sale locally in eastern Long Island N.Y. and the auction may end at any time. The car can be viewed by appointment. The car must be paid for in full and picked up no later than end of day Sunday July 7th unless other arrangements are mutually agreed to prior to auction ending.

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.

Ford F-450 claims best-in-class towing, company abandons practice of removing items to boost payload number

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

The ongoing heavy-duty truck battle between Ford and Ram is showing no signs of slowing down. The Blue Oval is trying to remove at least one point of contention between the two brands by testing its 2015 F-450 Super Duty using the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard, which Ram also uses. In the new evaluation, the F-450 is rated at a max towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's an identical amount as under Ford's own, previous test.
"We leave no doubt with customers that the F-450 pickup truck has best-in-class towing of 31,200 pounds - whether tested using our own internal towing standards or SAE J2807," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, in the company's release.
At the same time, Ford is also changing how it calculates the F-450's payload. Instead of using its minimum curb weight as before, the brand is now using the truck's base curb weight. The revision lowers the pickup's rating to 5,300 pounds, compared to 5,450 pounds previously. The company said in its announcement that the reason for this is "aligning its payload rating practices with other manufacturers to make it easier for customers to compare vehicles." General Motors made a similar switch for its pickups in August.

Ford to cease Australian automaking operations after 90 years

Thu, 23 May 2013

Ford began manufacturing cars in Australia in 1925 with the Model T. In 2016, Ford will stop manufacturing cars Down Under, including the Falcon and the Territory SUV. Ford Australia CEO Bob Graziano has reportedly confirmed the closure of the company's Broadmeadows assembly plant and the Geelong engine plant, both in the state of Victoria. There will be 650 jobs lost at Broadmeadows, 510 sacrificed at Geelong. Of the roughly 3,000 workers the Blue Oval has in Australia, it's said it will try to retain about 1,000 of them at its R&D and product development facilities.
The writing hasn't just been on the wall, it's been a regular item in all the papers and on Ford's bottom line for years. As recently as 2003, Ford sold nearly 75,000 Falcons, but over the next four years, annual sales dropped by something like 10,000 units, and over the last two years, it has sold less than 20,000 per year. It isn't only Ford that has suffered - sales of the other large, locally produced sedan, the Holden Commodore, have also gone over the precipice, triggering the same kind of angst about Holden's continued existence. Ford is the smallest of Australia's local automakers, Holden and Toyota the others, and has posted losses of $AUD141 million last year ($136M US) and $AUD600 million ($580M US) in the past five years. Graziano said the cost of manufacturing is simply too expensive in the country, twice as high as Europe and three times as high as Asia, and there no way to make a business case for staying in the country.
In January 2012, Ford Australia announced it would stay in the country until at least 2016, but by July of the same year, most outside observers were quietly declaring that 2016 would be the last year of Ford Down Under, and even the speculation was making other observers nervous. Ford received money from the Victorian government last year to aid its refresh of the Falcon and Territory, which will continue on schedule for the 2014 model year. A front- and all-wheel-drive sedan on a global platform is predicted to replace the Falcon, with some other SUV expected to replace the Territory. The company says it still intends to expand its lineup in the country.
