Up for bids is this original 1969 ford mustang convertible. It is in need of a full restoration but is very buildable. It would be a good candidate for a shelby clone or just a good original convertible. It has seen better days but is still very buildable. It has its good points and bad points. It has a clear title. The car has factory disc brakes. It looks to be the original color still with the original interior. I will start with the good and end with the bad. I will start with the body. The body panels are all pretty much repairable. The rear quarters will need a little body work but are not rusted out and are repairable. The doors could be fixed. The passenger door has some rust on the bottom side of it. The fenders are okay. The hood is okay. I have the headlight buckets and they are okay. The top frame is okay. The windshield and trim arouond it are okay. It will need a new taillight panel. I have the grille and the front pieces. The trunk lid is okay. The rear frame rails are okay. The outer rockers are okay. The drivers frame rails are all good. What it needs. The floors have already been cut out and need replacing which is normal in a convertible. The inner rockers have some rust in them. They are not completely gone. The passenger one is worse than the drivers. They could be patched and used but that will be up to the buyer. The passenger torque box is crusty. The front rail under the battery box has a little place that will need some work. The trunk also has some places around where the gas tank goes on the passenger side. I took pics of everything. They are all easy fixes if you know how to weld. This car is still structurly sound. It does not sag like some convertibles do. It is still very buildable. The dash and all that stuff is still in it. I have the keys to it. The motor and transmission is still in it but I am sure it will need rebuilding. It has the style steel wheels on it. I have all the seats to it. The only other bad thing about it is the door glass and quarter glass are missing. The windshield is good but the door and quarter glasses are gone. I have a clear title to it. This is a project car as advertised but it very buildable. It rolls ans steers fine. It is easy to load on a trailer. If you have any other questions or need more info just let me know. I can store it as long as needed but will require full payment within seven days of the end of auction. I will accept cash in person, bank wire transfer, or certified bank check as payment. The car will have to be picked up in Jonesboro Louisiana. Please ask all questions before bidding if you need to know something or are not sure of something.

Ford rakes in record $2.5b profit during Q1 of 2016
Thu, Apr 28 2016Fears that the auto industry is due for a downturn may be fading. Ford posted record profits in the first quarter of 2016, the company announced Thursday. Chief financial officer Bob Shanks said Ford enjoyed its best quarterly performance in history, generating operating profits of $3.8 billion and a record profit margin of 9.8 percent. Overall, the company's $2.5 billion profit in the quarter more than doubled from the 2015 quarterly results. "The first quarter was an absolutely terrific start to the year, an all-time record for the company, with very strong performance across the business," said chief executive officer Mark Fields. "We're excited about our future and confident in our ability to deliver long-term growth and profitability as we expand our business model to be both an auto and a mobility company." During the quarter, Ford announced the creation of Ford Smart Mobility, a new subsidiary that would vet future mobility projects in the realm of car-sharing, fractional ownership and autonomous deployment. The company also kicked off a billion-dollar makeover of its Dearborn, Michigan campus and headquarters. The company's after-tax earnings of $0.68 per share trumped Wall Street's expectations, and were significantly up from $0.39 per share a year ago. The results were buoyed by the company's fourth consecutive quarter of growth in Europe, which comes after a long period of stagnant sales. Ford's earnings results come amid reports that April car sales are on pace to jump 4 percent year over year, which would make it the best-selling April in history. Kelley Blue Book projects that car sales will reach 1.51 million this month, placing the industry on track for 17.5 million vehicles sold in 2016. Even as SUV and crossover sales drive the market, analysts say Nissan and Honda are positioned to benefit from renewed interest in mid-size cars. "Following a disappointing March, we expect sales to get back on track in April with SAAR in the mid-17 million range," said Tim Fleming, analyst for Kelley Blue Book. "Increased fleet sales and rising incentive spending among automakers remain the factors to watch, but the retail demand appears to be holding steady, signaling the industry's strong run isn't over quite yet."

Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.
