How did I get it?
I bought it in May 2010 from the grandson of the original owner. They took this car to car shows in Scranton PA. When I bought this car, it had 7,000 miles on it. The original rims were in the box, and there were other gold rims on the car (the stock rims were preserved from 1989-2010). When I bought the car I put the original rims on and sold the gold rims.
VERY IMPORTANT! This car was never beat - I never raced it, and I drive it very conservative. I have never seen over 100 MPH, although I know it will go much faster than that.
Upgrades/mods etc...
This car is MOSTLY original. Here is what I have done to it:
- Changed the OEM headlights to Angel Eye LED headlights (2012) $200
- Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust (2011) $300
- Ford Shorty Headers (installed with $50 lock nuts so they will not come loose!) (2011) $400
- Replaced the OEM H-pipe with an X-pipe (I have the catalytic converters in a box) (2011) $200
- Bluetooth MP3 Stereo/replaced all speakers and added sub woofers in a box (in the trunk obviously) (2010) $500
- BBK Cold Air Intake (2011) $150
- BBK Mass Air Flow Sensor (2012) $200
- Windows are tinted (2010) $200
- Gears changed to 3.73 (I have original gears) (November, 2012) $150
--$2,300 in parts, not including labor --
Here is what has been replaced due to sheer age of parts:
- Spark plugs/distributor cap at 7K miles (2010) $50
- O2 sensors (2011) $100
- IAC Valve (2011) $100
- Replaced both quarter panel window motors (2011) $350
- Replaced manifold gasket at 29K miles (December 2012) $100
- Original antenna replaced with a smaller, low profile one (2012) $20
- Replaced windshield (a rock flew up and cracked it) (January 2013) $200
- Replaced radiator (I can't remember if it is a 2 or 3 core) (2011) $200
- Tires replaced at 7K miles - have ~24K miles on them (2010) $350
- Battery Replaced (2011) $100
- A/C was converted to the newer standard (BLOWS COLD) $150
--$1,620 in parts, not including labor --
Here are all of the known issues with this car (all minor):
- The top will need to be replaced sometime in the future. There are a couple small holes that have developed from age. I put some RV sealant on them for the time being, so the roof does not leak. I never drive it in the rain anyways, so it is not a big problem. Cost of replacement top ~$600.
- While the car is running cold, I get a sporadic check engine light that will flash on and off. After the car is warm, it does not return. I have tried to fix this, but to no avail (thus why I replaced O2 sensors, IAC valve, etc). This has never and does not affect the performance of the car at all. I think there is a short somewhere, but I just cannot find it.
- There are a couple small dings on the car. I am not looking at the car right this second, but I know there is one near the drivers side handle, and there are also some other dimples in a concentrated area. This was like this when I bought the car, so not sure what happened here. This can certainly be fixed, I just never got around to it. It is really not THAT much of an eye sore, or I would have had it fixed by now. If you are concerned with this, I can walk around the car and take some detailed pictures.
- I believe there is a light stain on the passenger side floor that was under the floormat when I bought the car. I have black 5.0 floormats, so I forgot it was there until I really started thinking about every single little flaw as I type this up.
- The paint is not perfect. Some oxidation is beginning to occur because of the age of the paint. I took some pictures to depict this.
- There are some scratches here and there on the paint. Nothing down to the bare metal or anything (all pretty light), but here and there. If you would like more pictures, let me know and I can go around and try to capture all of these.
- The ashtray is present, but I cannot get it to stay closed. The lid stays open. I rigged it somewhat with a screw, but the entire piece is present and intact. I replaced the spring, but it fell out of place again...
- When the top is down, and you put the gray boot on, there is a clip on the back of the car that is broke. It is the black piece where the boot tucks in. There was once a screw inside that connected to the body of the car, but it broke. This might be an issue when putting the boot on, but it can be fixed (I have not got around to it).
- The cruise does not work, and it has not since I bought it. The piece that runs to the servo needs to be reconnected.
What is included?
All original paperwork, window sticker, manuals, and cassette tapes will be included. I also have a black lettering kit that I never put on, and also have black tape left (the black tape that goes around the trim). There is a spare tire in the trunk. I have some original parts, but they are in PA in storage. I have the original stereo (brand new condition), headlights, and other miscellaneous parts. We can discuss the acquisition of this stuff, although there will be an additional cost. We can discuss this further.
Bottom line. This car runs strong and idles perfect (it sounds GREAT), and it has never been raced. It is not perfect, and I tried to describe everything as accurate as possible, HOWEVER, it will not take much to fix the minor issues to get this car looking like a show car (I could probably show it as-is right now). I lived in NM from 2010-2012, so the car was driven on sunny days (90% of the year) and has always stayed out bad weather. If you find any rust underneath the car it will be VERY minimal. You will have to look hard to find any. This car is clean, so don't miss out on this opportunity!

Bill Ford augments his power by nearly doubling stake of supervoting shares
Fri, 28 Jun 2013Bill Ford Jr. has more sway than ever over the automaker that bears his surname, as the great-grandson of Ford's founder has reportedly doubled is holdings of Class B Ford stock. According to a report from Reuters (which cites a newly discovered securities filing), he acquired some 3.7 million Class B shares from an unnamed family member.
Class B shares of Ford stock are held by descendants of Henry Ford and offer expanded voting power to their holders - Bill Ford Jr. now controls roughly 11.5 percent of the total Class B pool. Ford Jr. is also a one of five trustees that manage a voting trust that oversees the majority of these "supervoting" shares. In total, Reuters reports there are 71 million Class B shares that account for 40 percent of the voting power in the company, despite making up just 2 percent of the total volume of all Ford stock.
Ford Jr. served as Ford's CEO until 2006, when he stepped down to hire and make space for current CEO, Alan Mulally. The move to consolidate Ford family voting power, at least somewhat, is seen by many as a comforting sign with Mulally's departure from the company likely to happen in the next several years.
Weekly Recap: Ford GT inspires guitar, foosball table, sailboat
Sat, Apr 18 2015Ford design vice president Moray Callum had just wrapped up a briefing on the interior of the Ford GT last month, but something seemed out of place. He grinned and pointed behind him, "You might be wondering why I have a boat behind me," he said mischievously. It was there because Ford set its designers on a mission to stretch and showcase their talents: design non-automotive objects inspired by the interior of the GT supercar. Callum received quite a response, too. His team produced a guitar, a foosball table (yeah bro!), a racing sailboat, a Wi-Fi speaker and some furniture. As the veteran design chief explained, "It's a really great exercise both to highlight our designers' talents, but also to really see how our design philosophy can work and how you can use it and get a common response back from a worldwide design team." Guitar View 25 Photos The objects have been on display this week at the Salone del Mobile furniture and fashion design fair in Milan, Italy, where Ford has had a presence for three years. There's also a light exhibition that apparently was inspired by the GT, as well. While this might seem a little far-fetched for the automaker, Ford said exhibitions like the Salone del Mobile give its designers another way to be creative and ultimately produce striking interior style. Ford wants this to be a differentiator, as research shows consumers are placing emphasis on the layout and features inside when they're making a decision about buying a new car. It's a little light hearted – but it's also potentially big business. Other News & Notes Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for Buick General Motors product chief Mark Reuss said the Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for a large Buick, though "not yet," Automotive News reported. The underpinnings can accommodate rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and would give Buick the large flagship it lacks. The report jibes with comments Reuss made at a roundtable with Autoblog and other reporters at the New York Auto Show. When asked if Buick had space for a large car on the CT6 chassis, he replied, "Yeah, I think it does. Yeah, I think we do." Buick has revamped its lineup in recent years with attractive crossovers and small and midsize sedans, but hasn't added the proverbial flagship that's yearned for by enthusiasts. Buick surprised industry observers with the stylish Avenir concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year that raised the possibility of a halo sedan.
