I've had this car for a few years and really enjoyed it. My plan was to prepare it for a 10 day Route 66 trip that some of my "car guy" friends were planning. Well I got it ready and my buddies are dragging their feet going on the trip. The car is really BIG and it takes up two sports car's worth of space in my shop, so its gotta go.
I bought it locally from a man who's dream was to restore it. He had it painted and then passed away. It sat for years in a covered warehouse before I bought it from his estate.
During my ownership, I've redone the interior, rebuilt the engine, upgraded to a four barrel carb and RV Cam, added Flowmaster dual exhaust, new tires on aluminum torque thrust wheels, brakes, replaced suspension bushings, added bigger sway brand new shocks, new windshield (try to find one!) I basically made it ready for a cross country trip. It is truly a wonderful car to drive. Nothing rides like these big old cars. At 75 mph on the freeway with the top down, you can converse easily and your hair hardly gets messed up.
Its great to drive, engine is very strong, it rides good and even though there are the minor issues outlined above, you could not duplicate this car for the buy it now price even if you did all the work yourself, There is no serious rust, the trunk is dry and there are only the tiniest pinholes in the rear floor pan.
When salvage metal got some valuable a few years ago, many of these cars were lost to the crushers and junk yards dont have them anymore. It makes parts hard to find, but it also means that nice ones like this will appreciate.
I am not trying for "show car" money, but I am not doing a "fire sale" either...a really fair deal is available here, bid on!
Here are some videos of the power top working and that awesome V8 sound:)

2015 Ford C-Max gets a corporate nose job [w/video]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Ford might not have the splashiest booth here at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, but the automaker is showing off quite a bit of hardware that will actually end up on roads across Europe. Parisians are no doubt tickled at getting to see the specifications of the Mustang tuned for The Continent (which has a revised suspension for European roads, and a few visual nips and tucks), in addition to the revised face of the family-friendly C-Max.
As you can see, C-Max styling has been revisited with a deft touch, grafting Ford's six-sided corporate grille on the nose, in place of the outgoing car's two-part affair. New headlights can also be found on the car's revised front fascia, though the rear end of the C-Max looks only slightly different than the current version.
Inside the cabin, Ford has consolidated controls and upped the ante in terms of material quality, with "black satin" and chrome details and more storage capacity, overall. Grocery-lugging moms and dads everywhere should appreciate the hands-free liftgate feature, as well.
Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated
Mon, 02 Dec 2013Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
First retail 2015 Ford Mustang headed to Barrett-Jackson
Fri, 20 Dec 2013Want to be the very first person to own a 2015 Ford Mustang GT? Here's what you'll need to do: be in Scottsdale, AZ on January 18 for the Barrett-Jackson auction and bring a very big checkbook. Having a passion for charity isn't a bad idea either.
Yes, the first 2015 Mustang to be sold to the public will be crossing the block at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, with proceeds from the auction going to JDRF, the charity formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
"Ford Mustangs have always been among the most popular collector cars at Barrett-Jackson Collector Car events," said the president of Barrett-Jackson, Steve Davis. "While every collector wishes they had snapped up the first Mustang sold in 1964, this is an opportunity to realize that dream in a different way."
