Now we have, up for your bidding entertainment, this 1986 Ford Mustang Convertible, the winning bidder will one day be able to experience that warm and wonderful feeling that accompanies having a plan come to fruition! Having stated that, this vehicle can be looked upon, as being a "dual capacity" vehicle: (1) with minor work, it would quickly become a "daily driver" or (2) after an extensive restoration, the winning bidder will be getting a vehicle, that as it sets, is worthy of such an endeavor.

Pros and Cons -----

The Pros:

As can be seen in the under car picture, the unibody style frame is rock solid, both front and rear, no refurbishing will be necessary during any restoration project that you may have in mind. Both side rocker panels are "hole free, rust free"; the doors close just as nice and tight, as they did when it was new.
As can be seen in the picture of the engine compartment, all under hood components are present.
No glass will need to be replaced, as it is all present and in good shape! (Crack and chip free)
The mechanism for the convertible top is functional/operational.
The oil has just been changed.
Vehicle was a "Florida car", which explains why the body and undercarriage is in such good shape!

The Cons:

Mileage on the odometer is 87,140 - but according to the vehicle history, may or may not be accurate. (I have a plausible theory.)
As can be seen in one of the pictures, there is a "quarter size" rust hole, at the base of the windshield bezel, in the area of the drivers side windshield wiper arm attaching point, however this hole has no affect, nor will it ever, on the proper operation of the wipers. Why this hole developed, is a mystery to me.
As can be seen in one of the pictures, the passengers side interior door panel is missing, as is the cover to the center console arm rest, exterior passenger door handle, and a part or two on the drivers side interior door panel.
Vehicle is in need of a new convertible top, as it has a couple of holes/tears in it, and is "dried out"/sun faded.
There is some surface rust at the bottom edge of the drivers side door.
Vehicle is in need of a paint job, as the paint is faded and "flaky".
Vehicle is in need of a couple of rear tires, as they are heavily weather checked.
Vehicle is in need of some brake work, as they are spongy and have to be "pumped" when they are applied.
The passenger side small rear window is present, (currently in the trunk), as it needs the hardware on the bottom replaced.
Lastly vehicle is in need of a tune up, it starts, runs and drives, but.......

Because eBay is now my passion, I will respond to all serious or frivolous inquiries, via e-mail.
If as a potential bidder, you wonder why this vehicle is listed again, feel free to e-mail me so that I can explain, because yes, this is the same vehicle that was on eBay last week!
Thanks for "looking", and let the bidding begin!

Ford Mondeo classes up with premium Vignale trim

Wed, 11 Sep 2013

Back in the day, Vignale was a carrozzeria of the highest order, alongside the likes of Pininfarina, Bertone and Zagato. But like Giugiaro-ItalDesign and Ghia, it has since been subsumed into a larger auto group. Ford ended up with it under its umbrella when it took over De Tomaso, and has since used the moniker for a number of concept cars. Now the name is back in the form of a new upscale sub-brand for the European market.
The first new model to receive the Vignale treatment is the Mondeo, which Ford unveiled here at the Frankfurt Motor Show in both sedan and wagon forms. Positioned above the Titanium trim, the Vignale model gets such special touches as chrome trim and a quilted leather interior, Vignale badges replacing any mention of the Mondeo on which it's based. It also gains an ownership experience - including free car washes for life! - to befit the upscale positioning.
Under the bright spotlights above the show floor, the Nocciola metallic brown paint might not be the most photogenic, but will likely give the Vignale edition a more premium look when it hits European dealers and roads in 2015. Whether it'll be worth however much Ford asks for it, however, remains to be seen. Scroll down below for the official press release.

Crowdsource funding push on to save historic Ford buildings

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

Detroit has no shortage of old, abandoned buildings, both within the city and in the surrounding communities. Few, though, have the historical significance of the old Ford Highland Park facility. Home to the very first moving assembly line, Highland Park was designed by the legendary Albert Kahn, and was one of the homes of the Model T.
Now, the Woodward Avenue Action Association is attempting to buy both the 40,000-square-foot admin building, which is located off the historic Woodward Avenue, and an 8,000-square-foot garage. The WAAA's goal is to convert the buildings into an automotive heritage center. The Detroit News spoke to the interim director of the WAAA, Deborah Schutt, who commented, "[Metro Detroit has] not been very good at telling our own story. So we've decided, let's pull everything together and tell our story."
The WAAA made an offer of $550,000 to buy the two buildings, and has $400,000 from the Michigan Department of Transportation and another $15,000 from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. It's trying to raise a further $125,000 through crowd-sourcing, starting a campaign called "Five Dollars A Day," after old Hank Ford's $5-per-day wage for line workers.
