This American Classic was purchased new in Griswald, Iowa by my uncle. From what I understand, the 351 Cleveland was not available in this truck, but my uncle was real good friends with the dealer who was able to pull some strings and got it ordered with the Cleveland. Right after he got it, my uncle had a 4 barrel carb and manifold put on. My uncle drove it to California where he lives and it was there until 1987 when my dad bought it. It has been in Colorado since then. This was my dad's pride and joy! Oil was changed every 3000 miles and regular maintance was done as needed. The speedometer was replaced in 2007. Not sure why. Car had 144,578 miles when speedo was replaced. New speedo had 185,214 miles on it. So, actuall miles on car is 149,295 right now. Shows how little my dad drove it, he only put about 5000 miles on it in 2 years before he passed away in 2009. He had the seat reupolstered years ago and the carpet and headliner are in great shape. I took this out for a drive the other day just to blow the cob webs out. I was doing at least 90 MPH on the highway and it rode like a dream. I was very impressed. Very nice riding car. AC was still blowing cold air and everything seemed to be working just fine. The car was repainted 5 or 6 years ago and a set of original stripes (an extra set my uncle bought with the car) was put on it. The only thing I didn't care for is the guy painted it with single stage paint. It looks good, but the top and the hood will need a good buffing. All the original trim is there with ony a few minor issues (see pics.). There are 3 cracks in the dash. Two can be seen in the pics. The other one is to the left side. It does come with a fitted carpeted dash cover. There is no rust on car except for surface rust on underside which is normal. I did notice the tail light bezzles are getting a little bit of pitting. Front bumper has 2 spots that the chrome is pealing, but the bumper is in great shape. Tires still have plenty of tread, but there is some weathering and age starting to show on sidewalls. This is a true survivor! We would love to keep it, but it just isn't feasible and we would rather see someone get it who will appreciate it the way my dad did instead of letting it sit and rot away. If you have questions or need more pics., please let me know. A $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction end. Payable by PayPal only. PayPal, Certified US Cashiers check or cash for the remainder within 7 days of auction end. Car will be held until funds are cleared. To be picked up in Strasburg, CO (30 miles east of Denver). Or if you arrange the shipping out of Denver I will take it there for you. Thank you. THE BUYER WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles

Thu, Nov 27 2014

US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

Ford Escort returns... as a concept

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Ford is kickin' it old school at the Shanghai Motor Show for 2013 with a new Escort Concept - "a name that stirs up thoughts of basic, affordable transportation rather than great driving dynamics or bold design" as we said in our initial preview of the small C-segment sedan. Or, as Ford puts it, "Customers in China described seeking a vehicle that is stylish - but not one that is arrogant or pretentious." Potato, potahto...
It's an interesting amalgam of design notes with Ford's recent and stylish hexagonal grille up front, flanked by some pretty busy LED light clusters and chrome-trimmed air intakes at the lower extremities of the fascia, but the Escort Concept is not altogether unattractive. Besides its external appearance, we really don't have much information to report - Ford has not yet hinted at what may be powering this little machine, but we'd expect something with four cylinders and less that 2.0 liters of displacement sending a modest number of horses to the front tires.
It probably goes without saying, but we don't expect to see this Escort make its way to the United States, since we already have the Focus and the Fiesta battling it out in the econobox segment. That said, it's very likely to spawn a production model that will roll out here in China and in other developing market where multiple C-segment entries are becoming increasingly common. Check out our high-res image gallery of live images above, and let us know what you think of the car's styling, then scroll down below for the official press release.
