"NO RESERVE" listing, but note that the winning bidder will have $60.00 added to the final bid to pay for the ebay fees. Sorry, but listing cars is expensive! Rare, solid project car. We have the title in hand. Would be a great platform to restore, customize, or turn into a "Rat Rod". (Even had one guy who wanted to turn this into a hybrid vehicle!) Please note the car DOES NOT currently run, but the engine is not frozen and will turn over with a breaker bar on the crank bolt. Not the original engine, but a larger, 200 inline six was installed at some point. (originally came with a 144 inline six) The generator and starter motor are missing. The car currently is partially disassembled, but everything that was taken off of the car is present, and any hardware was bagged and labeled. Outer steering column sleeve, steering wheel, gauge cluster, have been removed and we have them all. Both front fenders are off the car, (straight, solid, and clean) along with the windshield trim, headlights & surrounds, tail lights & buckets/lenses,  grill and rear/front bumpers and filler panel. The rear tailgate has been damaged, but could easily be repaired with a little effort & know how and is off of the car. The interior has been stripped, and the included seats are not original, but we have one door panel and everything else that we removed. I will include pictures of the car when I first bought it and the rest of how it looks now. My son and I were working on the car but health issues, and lack of funds, and my son discovering girls, have stalled the project. We'd like the car to get the attention and love it deserves. We have several boxes of parts, the car is 95% present. (Likely more, but we're being conservative) VERY little rust for it's age and model. These cars have a reputation to rust and rot out, but this one is amazingly solid. The rocker panels are perfect, and the doors line up and open and close smoothly. The passenger door does not latch properly, as the mechanism needs repair. Glass is present and in good shape. The bed is straight and clean. The floor boards have one small rust hole, about the diameter of a pencil, on the driver's side. Also have a model specific wiring guide booklet, which is quite detailed and informative. Will also include several parts catalogs if the new owner wants them. Again, a solid platform to restore, customize, or what have you. The tires are old bias ply and not in good shape at all. (we have all five original rims) Think the back tires will hold air long enough to load on a dolly or trailer, etc. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us via ebay.

Shipping is the sole responsibility of the new buyer but I'll assist as I'm able with logistics, etc. I reserve the right to end the auction early, with or without bids, as I have the car listed for sale locally and have had a lot of interest. You won't be disappointed! Car MUST be paid for in full within 7 business days of auction's end or listing's end. Paypal for the deposit is fine, and a $200.00 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction's end. The balance due within the timeframe stated above.

Cash, check, is acceptable for payment, but the car will NOT leave here until fully and completely paid in full and all funds have cleared. I will consider any "Buy It Now" offer over $1100.00 prior to any bids being placed, but no "low ball" offers, please. I'm not trying to get rich off of this car, but she is rare, and hard to find one not all rotted to pieces and this complete. I have described the car to the best of my ability, and I'm an honest seller, so please don't waste your, or my, time if you won't/can't complete the transaction in a timely fashion. Good luck and bid to win! Again, feel free to ask any questions...

Project Ugly Horse: Part VII

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla considers Model III SUV and wagon, Ford tears Tesla apart

Mon, Oct 27 2014

Worries over Brazil's electric grid mean EVs are excluded from green car incentives. As part of a new efficiency program, non-plug-in hybrids will be eligible for a reduction in import duties, while EVs and plug-in hybrids will not. Brazil's government is concerned that the country's grid lacks the capacity to handle the increased load from an influx of EVs. Brazil plans to create a new incentive program - perhaps a more inclusive one - when the current one expires at the end of 2015. Read more at Green Car Reports. Tesla could make SUV and wagon derivatives of the upcoming Model III sedan. Tesla's VP of engineering, Chris Porritt, told Auto Express that to reach as many customers as possible, Tesla would consider all its options. "SUVs, estates - who knows?" says Porritt. He also says that while the company is currently focused on products with a broader appeal, another Roadster or other sports car aren't out of the question in the future. Read more at Auto Express. Ford admits to a Tesla Model S teardown. Ford CEO Mark Fields says that after disassembling, reassembling and driving the model S, his company is "very familiar with that product." He also says the Ford has the capability to build a similarly high-tech, long-range electric car. The questions still remains if Ford has plans for such a vehicle, but Fields says that it fits within Ford's "product philosophy." Read more at Business Insider and at USA Today.

Ford Announces Four Recalls, 1.4M Vehicles Affected

Thu, May 29 2014

Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013. Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though. "Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software." The most recent generation of the Ford Explorer is suffering from a similar malady, thanks to an intermittent electrical connection (we think that means short circuit) in the steering column. Like the Escape and Mariner, manual steering would still be available in the event of a power failure. Ford will recall 195,527 examples of its Explorer, 177,500 of which are in the US. This recall covers model years 2011 to 2013. According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has stated that Ford will inform owners of affected vehicles by July 25. Ford is also recalling 200,000 Taurus sedans, over a corrosion issue in the license plate lamp. This particular recall, which covers vehicles from model years 2010 to 2014, is limited to drivers in northern climes. Vehicle owners in southern states are free to pass on the recall. Finally, 82,576 Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln Zephyr/MKZ sedans from 2006 to 2011 are being recalled because of floormats that can interfere with the accelerator pedal. Dealers will replace the offensive floormats with newer examples. "Ford is committed to providing our customers with top quality vehicles. We are equally committed to addressing potential issues and responding quickly for our customers," Felker wrote.
