If you have been looking for a straight rust-free hardtop platform, this might be the one for you. Whether you want to swap chassis with your rusty classic, or build something from scratch, this body has a lot of options.

Years ago, this car was stolen and stripped, then bought from a salvage yard and stored for a few years as a parts car. In California, the fees are up to date. All it needs for registration is a safety inspection, when it's competed of course.

Or, if you just need the chassis to swap out with another, then of course you can use your own title.

There seems to be very little bondo on this car. As far as the metal goes, there is a ripple just behind the drivers door that needs to be popped out - it shouldn't take much to true it out - especially with the seats and panels out of the way. There is also a dent in the rocker panel on the passenger side just below the front of the door. Otherwise, the body is very straight how it sits and all of the sheet metal is in great shape.

The car had a V-8 and an automatic before it was stolen. It looks like there was a B&M shifter from the rectangular shape of the cut-out in the floor pan.

What is included: A rolling chassis sitting on an 8" rear end, 5 lug front end, doors, fenders, hood, decklid, all glass, chrome molding interior and exterior that goes around the windows, and along the roof rail. Power steering idler arm and link. All wiring except for engine compartment.

Optional parts not included in the above price:

Bumpers w/ brackets - $100 each
Tail lights - $50
Instrument panel with 4 piece futura dash plastic - $100
Rebuilt AOD Transmission w/ shift kit: $600
'65 Mustang tunnel hump with cross-member and automatic floor shifter: $150

Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.

Watch Piquet and Mansell bend some sheetmetal in Ford Fusion GP

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

As we told you about before, there were four episodes planned for the Ford Fusion GP campaign in Brazil, and the whole series has now run its course. The Ford ads pit Brazilian Formula One driver Nelson Piquet against English F1 pilot Nigel Mansell driving the new Fusion, the two coming together again after their partnership at the Williams F1 team ended in a miserable state more than 20 years ago.
They're lined up for you below, in reverse chronological order. You should watch number three first, though, as it adds a bit more spice to the NASCAR action in the fourth.

Ford Explorer is America's new favorite police car

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

There is a new vehicle that you should keep an eye out for when you're going a little too fast down the Interstate. Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility was the bestselling new law enforcement model in the country last year, and signs show that won't be changing anytime soon.
Ford sold 14,086 Interceptor Utilities in 2013, up 140% from the year before, and 10,897 Interceptor Sedans, up 31%, according to USA Today. Overall, the brand's police sales were up 48 percent, and they were enough to boost the company's law enforcement vehicle market share by 9 points to nearly 50 percent.
The success comes just a few years after it made the decision to finally retire the long-serving Crown Victoria-based cruiser for two more modern vehicles. "We had to reinvent the category," said Chris Terry of Ford Communications to Autoblog. The automaker had to convince police departments that a unibody chassis without a V8 could perform better than a model that had been a law enforcement staple for years.
