1971 Ford LTD Convertible

This is a nice car that was last owned by a collector who passed away in South Carolina.  The collector owned the car as the second owner and had the car since 27,000 miles and the car now has 62,000 original miles on it.  This is a very nice driver and has been driven less than 1500 miles per year since new.   Based on service history it looks like the car has only been driven about 2000 miles since the 1990’s so she did sit around for a while.

This car does have the optional 400 V8 engine and the very rare for a convertible factory A/C.  The compressor for the A/C does work but the system is low on R12 and needs to be topped off.  The car goes down the road very nice and starts right every time you turn the key.  Brakes are good and the tires are almost new on the car, the top is also in good condition with no rips or holes in it.  It looks like the original spare tire is still in the trunk and the jack etc. is also present in the trunk. 

I have driven this car around for the past year and it’s a fun car but with a 4 and 2 year old I am looking to sell it and buy a hardtop so they don’t get blown away in the rear seat.  The body on the car is nice and straight and the paint is nice with a few blemishes here and there (please see photos).  The car does have a couple small bubbles on the left front fender (see photo) and on the right front fender (again see photo).  The only other bubbles that I have noticed are just behind the convertible top and small amount on the deck lid (again see photos).  The car would probably benefit from a carb rebuild and tune up from sitting but like I said she starts up every time and goes down the road nice. 

As I mentioned this is a very nice driver and is well represented at local cruise nights but is not a 100 point show car by any means.  All the chrome is very respectable on the car and like I said the body is straight.  Please feel free to come and look/drive the car prior to bidding so you know exactly what you are buying or email me specific questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability.  I hate to see the car go but with the kids right now this one just sits around more than anything else these days.  Car is sold in AS-IS condition.

Mulally confirms he's not leaving Ford for Microsoft

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

In recent months, rumors had been flying about Ford CEO Alan Mulally potentially leaving the company to take a position at Microsoft. Last we heard, Mulally was planning to stick around at Ford through at least 2014, and in an interview today, that bit was confirmed by the CEO himself.
According to the Associated Press, in a report from The Detroit News, Mulally said he will not be leaving Ford for Microsoft, and reiterated that he will remain at the Blue Oval through 2014, if not longer. Mulally has "no plans other than to serve Ford," according to the report.
Mulally did not say whether or not he had been in talks with Microsoft at any point. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said he plans to leave the software company sometime this year.

Truckmakers squabbling over who can sell Jimmy Fallon a pickup

Sat, 08 Mar 2014

Snagging a celebrity endorsement is a big deal for automakers, as evidenced by the recent efforts of the Detroit Three to try and woo The Tonight Show's newest host, Jimmy Fallon, into one of their trucks.
After announcing during Wednesday night's show that he was in the market for a pickup truck, Fallon set off a firestorm of efforts on Twitter, with both Ford and Chevrolet petitioning the funnyman to test out a truck. According to Ad Age, Ford recommended the King Ranch edition of its next-generation F-150 while the show was still airing. Chevy, meanwhile, waited until the next morning to pitch a Silverado to Fallon.
The winner of this social media feeding frenzy, though, was Ram. Promoting a variation of its "Guts, Glory, Ram" tagline, the Auburn Hills-based manufacturer created the hashtag #GUTSGLORYFallon. It even went so far as to park a Ram 1500 outside 30 Rockefeller Center in New York, where The Tonight Show is filmed. On the back of the Ram sat a sign, reading "Big enough, Jimmy? Test it out," referencing a joke from the Wednesday show.

2015 Ford Mustang spied on video for the first time

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Not many cars will continue to hold our rapt attention quite like the upcoming redesigned 2015 Ford Mustang, codenamed S550 internally. Earlier this month, we brought you the first spy photos of a next-gen Mustang prototype out testing, and even though expertly placed cladding concealed the pony car's new shape, we could tell that underneath was hiding an altogether new form inspired by the Evos Concept from 2011.
Today we give you some video of what looks to be the same Mustang prototype, which you can watch below, and while the budding director behind the camera wasn't able to capture much in the way of the engine's audio signature, we can see the car in motion for the first time and compare its relative size and shape to the S197 Mustang GT that's on its tail.
