Cruise-O-Matic transmission (original)
Wimbleton white with original blue interior.
352 CID/4bbl (original engine)
3:11 diff. w/31 spline axels

Truly as rust free as I've ever, a northern Colorado car. Absolutely complete! Rockers, floors and trunk are solid. Body is straight. You will have to look very hard to find another Skyliner as rust free as this. All trim is complete. Top works fine but needs usual adjustments. I have installed a 10 position switch in the door jamb where it is hidden to operate any top solenoid individually.

It has the rare factory optional "Flying Ellipse" hood ornament. It also has optional reverse lights, "day/nite" mirror, traffic light viewer, seat belts front/rear, rocker panel trim, stainless steel skirts and a trailer hitch with a flat 4 connector. Original interior except carpet has been replaced. Everything works except the clock (as usual)! It does include the hard to find "picnic basket" for the trunk and the correct wooden cover for the spare tire (sorry, no spare wheel).

This car is a fine example to drive as it is or it's completeness and condition lends itself to be the perfect example to give a complete restoration.

One picture clearly shows all gages showing good oil pressure, proper charging, full correct temp at idle. This shows the health of the engine as much as I can in a photo. I drive this car on a regular basis.

It does have hand controls installed. They will be removed (take me 10 minutes) if you do not need them. If you require hand controls I will leave them installed at no extra cost.

The things that need attention because I think you would want to know; The diff has a chipped tooth so it whines, easy fix with a new 3rd member. The top stops halfway down due to a broken wire which is also a common problem and an easy fix. The 10 position switch insures the top will always fully retract or raise even with the broken wire.

NOTE:
The rear bumper guards, hand controls and under dash record player shown in the photos are not included! (I may include them if you are a serious buyer) If you need hand controls, I will include them with the car at no charge. There is also no spare wheel or jack. I couldn't find the correct one. But it does include several spare parts and some new extras too.

NEW:

Brakes
Shocks (x4)
3 core radiator
High volume water pump
Belts/cables/hoses
Battery
Fan shroud and flex fan
Motor & transmission mounts
Radial tires wrapped around 15" Torque Thrust wheels (will allow for fitting of disc brakes) (x4)
Master cylinder and rebuilt original brake booster
Door seals and bumpers
Top (roof) and trunk seals
Tinted windshield and gasket ($1900 alone!)
Trunk mat
Trunk liner boards
Exhaust system

REBUILT:

Entire front end (every bushing/bearing, ball joints, springs and seals).

Original 352cid 4V (Rebuilt 7k ago) new Edelbrock installed (original 4V Ford carb included)
Original 3sp Cruise-O-Matic transmission (rebuilt 7k ago)
Driveshaft (all new u-joints)
Generator
Starter
Power steer pump and original ram

Serious buyers only PLEASE! I'm not going to accept your Paypal payment, nor will I ever send you money to purchase my car. Scammer, you are wasting your time and I will waste a lot yours if you try.

I may consider interesting trades. Amphicars, Odd cars, micro-cars, pre-1972 convertibles. Send photos and details.

Fewest vehicles ever found eligible for Most American survey

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Once again, the most American car on the market is from an American brand. The Ford F-150 retained its number one spot in Cars.com's annual survey of the most American vehicles, trumping the Toyota Camry, which remains at number two.
Ford taking the top spot is small consolation, though, as the Detroit Three aren't too well represented here. General Motors scored a win at number seven, with the Chevrolet Corvette, while Chrysler squeaked in at number ten, with the Dodge Viper. Outside of those three vehicles, Toyota and Honda dominate the top ten.
What's most remarkable, though, is that there were so few cars available for this year's list.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

Watch this Ford F-150 SVT Raptor fly like an eagle [UPDATE]

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is a very capable truck right out of the box, but "capable" has never translated into "invincible." Just ask the owner of the machine in this video. In it, the driver gets frisky with an aggressive jump with plenty of speed on his hands. The result is enough air to make Vaughn Gittin Jr. blush. As always, it's not the launch that's painful, but the re-entry. Gravity eventually asserts its dominance over the $43,630 pickup in a big way, and when it comes crashing down, it does so with a vengeance.
The impact was hard enough to set off both the alarm and multiple airbags inside the cabin. It's unclear if anyone was injured in the stunt, but we certainly wouldn't be surprised to hear that was the case. You can check out the stunt in the video below, and remember, when in doubt, back out of the throttle. Be warned, there may be some explicit/NSFW language in the clip.
UPDATE: Second video added with an even better look at the jump added below.
