The paint is low driver quality and the body will need work to remove some dents and creases. The areas around the rear quarter panels have some rust spots near the rear tires, there are holes underneath into the trunk, the rust has been contained and holes are not visible from exterior but these panels will likely need replacing one day. There are a couple of small rust spots starting to bubble under the paint in the corners of the doors, doesn't look serious but will need to be addressed eventually. The paint is fine for now and has been on it for at least 15 years with no problems but will need repainting when the body work is done, there are a couple of chips and wear spots. This is an incredibly mechanically sound car with virtually all restored areas except for the paint and body. A little time in the body shop and you will have an amazingly original performance driver. In the condition it is in now it is still absolutely fine for driving around and having fun, no rush to get the body done immediately. I have had this car for 13 years and completed all of the improvements listed above and it has been fun to drive the whole time.  I just drove it across Florida 120 miles and it ran great the whole time, no problems. It will really move when you hit the gas and it sounds great! 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I reserve the right to cancel this auction for any reason, the car is posted for sale locally.

UPDATE: I am adding a few more pictures in the description here so you can see some of the issues with the body I described above as well as several shots of the undercarriage so you can see what good shape it's in. The rust color on the picture of the bad quarter panel is just rust prohibitive paint. Just remember the upside to the paint and body work is that you get to pick your own color...

Enterprise working with renter's insurance to cover $47k Mustang stolen from its lot

Sat, 11 Jan 2014

There was more than a bit of public indigence following the recent story of Enterprise Rent-A-Car billing a customer $47,000 to replace a Ford Mustang GT Convertible stolen from a Nova Scotia lot. To recap: Kristen Cockerill rented the Mustang for two days, returned it to the lot on a Sunday and left the keys in a secure dropbox only for Enterprise employees to find the car gone the next day.
Despite Enterprise policies stating that customers are responsible for vehicles dropped on off-days, the company has admitted that the situation could've been handled a bit better.
In a recent statement, Enterprise has backed off the big-bill story, and claims to be working with Cockerill and her insurance company to resolve the issue. Further, the Enterprise general manager overseeing Nova Scotia has spoken with the harried renter, and apologized "for the way this claim was handled during the last few months."

Lincoln Continental production likely to shift to Flat Rock

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Lincoln production may be returning to Michigan, according to a new report from Automotive News. While the brand's current big sedan, the MKS, is built alongside the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer, and their Police Interceptor counterparts at the Blue Oval's Chicago, IL factory, the production version of the Continental won't be screwed together in the Windy City. According to AN, "industry sources" claim the Continental will join the Ford Mustang and Ford Fusion – on which the big Lincoln is loosely based – at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. The move isn't just based on convenience, though. Ford is selling a lot of Explorers, and shifting Lincoln production away from Chicago Assembly frees up production capacity for the popular SUV. "Chicago Assembly Plant is vital to our global manufacturing footprint and will continue to manufacture the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor vehicles even after we phase out production of the MKS in 2016," Ford told Automotive News. "We will continue to match production to demand." Looking at the numbers further backs up the argument against Lincoln production in Chicago. Last year alone, Ford built nearly 285,000 Explorers and over 73,000 Taurus sedans, compared to just 8,300 Lincolns. Finally, as AN tells it, Ford is almost telegraphing the Continental's arrival in Flat Rock. The facility has a four-week shut down scheduled from June 15 through July 13, which is twice as long as the typical summer vacation, while there's another two weeks off slated for September.
