You are bidding on a very rare original 1966 Mercury 428 Super Marauder S-55 factory hotrod. There were only 2,916 S-55's made; it was a special high-performance full-size powerhouse with one of the coolest interiors ever to hit the assembly line; a combination of diamond-tuft and tuck-and-roll straight from the factory. They looked cool, they sounded tough, and they ran like the proverbial raped ape. This S-55 features the the highly-sought-after original high-performance "Q-code" 428 4v Super Marauder / Police Interceptor engine... the same engine that came in the '67 and early '68 Shelby GT 500. The car is finished in its' original "Olive Mist" dark green metallic paint (Ford called it "Black Jade," very pretty color), and black bucket seat/console interior color combination.

The car is best described as an original, unmolested, driver-quality survivor classic. It has a fantastic, even patina throughout and looks like a car that made it through unmolested, and unrestored. Hard to find them with this kind of overall balanced age/patina/wear... very cool and rare car.

This is a two-owner car since new; the first owner was an elderly woman passed away in the early 90's. She had a friend & neighbor who used to chauffeur her around in this car when she became too old to drive herself. The lady who helped with the driving then purchased the car when the first owner died. She drove the car occasionally until 1998, when she felt the car was "too much" for her. It hasn't been registered or on the road since 1998, although she did start and move the car occasionally "to keep things going." It's a complete, unmolested, original car.

The odometer shows only 43,239 miles, and the previous owner believes that number to be the original milage... she has had first-hand knowledge of the car since new, and said the car was only used for local driving. The fantastic condition of the upholstery, interior trim, pedals, carpet, doors, etc. support the low miles; they are in excellent condition without the excessive wear a 100K+ car demonstrates.

Interior is beautiful including the upholstery, headliner, dash pad, etc. Great center console, excellent steering wheel, very nice dash and gauges, nice door panels, etc. Carpet is the original and still in looks great. Everything is there, everything is in excellent survivor-quality condition, unrestored and unmolested.

I have just completed a full tune-up on the engine (plugs/points/cap/rotor/condenser/coil/wires), replaced the brakes all around, and changed the fluids and filters. I also replaced the battery and the ignition relay, as well as the Holley carburetor *(original comes with it). The car starts right up and runs strong; she is a solid runner. The electrical systems all seem to be in proper working order, including the gauges, lights, heater, turn signals, etc.

The car has an overall straight body with minor dings and dents, and the paint still shines well for an old, original job. There is some rust down low on the rear quarters, and a touch on the top of the driver's rear fender (was parked under a tree), but is overall a very dry car without major rust/rot issues. The floors, rockers, frame, bottoms of doors, lower fender sections, and trunk floor all look great. The driver's door and front fender have been replaced way back when with OEM parts; the other panels are original to the car The doors have no sag at all in the hinges; they are as tight as when new.

The grill is pretty much perfect, and the bumpers are straight, with the outer chrome layer beginning to fail. Glass is all original and sound; same with the exterior stainless trim. Original wheels and hubcaps.

All the original drivetrain is still in place, and the car still retains its' original engine build tag and body buck tag.

An interesting side note for you Shelby Cobra fans... most of the mid/late 60's Shelby 427 SC street Cobras actually came with this same 428 engine, not the 427 side oiler that people generally associate with the car. This would be a correct engine for your authentic '66 Shelby SC Cobra replica.

I reserve the right to end the auction early as I have the car for sale locally as well. If you would like to make me an offer through ebay, I might be willing to end the auction early to you and save us both some time. Clear title in hand, no brands or issues. You may call me directly at 360-936-9257 to discuss.

While every effort is being made to describe this vehicle accurately, it is a 47-year old classic automobile, and is being sold as-is without warranty expressed or implied. Shipping will be the full responsibility of the buyer; however, I will make myself available to your shipper for loading and pick-up.

Please be prepared to remit payment within three days or less of the auction's end.

Ford F-150 Tremor to pace NASCAR Truck Series this weekend

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

Ford's bro-tastic F-150 Tremor will be pacing this weekend's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Michigan International Speedway. The Tremor fills a gap in the Ford F-Series lineup that we imagine the NASCAR set have clamored for - a hot-rod pickup truck.
Where the F-150 Raptor is designed to go quick on anything, the Tremor and its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 are designed to tackle the road. The 365-horsepower and 420-pound-foot EcoBoost is unchanged from the rest of the F-150 line, but it combines the shortest drive ratio with the lightest two-door body, making it a bit of hot rod.
Ford will be offering hot laps with Michigan native Brad Keselowski behind the wheel of the Tremor for fans that arrive in the Irish Hills on August 14. The main showing for the new pickup will be the August 17 race, though, when it'll lead the field at the start of the race and through cautions.

eBay Find Of The Day: 1988 Saleen Ford Mustang General Tire 21R race car

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

Saleen may be making headlines these days for working on the Tesla Model S, but its history and bread-and-butter is all about the Ford Mustang. The rear-wheel-drive Dearborn pony cars singlehandedly put the company on the map in the '80s. Founder Steve Saleen was already a talented American racing driver when he started the venture, and like many auto industry businesses before him, Saleen went to the track to prove his vehicles' worth. Now, there's a chance to buy one of those early racers on eBay Motors.
Saleen Mustangs raced in the Sports Car Club of America Escort Endurance Championship - a series of multi-hour races meant to challenge man and machine. Ostensibly a showroom stock class, the cars had larger wheels, tuned suspensions and other upgrades that stretched the concept slightly. Saleen found major success though, taking the championship for its class in 1987 and winning the 24 Hours of Mosport consecutively from 1986 through 1988.
According to the seller, Saleen only built eight of these cars, and this one carries the #21R serial number. They all started life as new Mustangs from Ford dealers but were immediately stripped and prepped to go racing. Beyond obvious mods like a roll cage, they featured eight-inch wide wheels in front, an inch of additional track width, stiffer suspension bushings and much more.

Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.
