How would you like to drive around in a car that will get stares and “Thumbs Up” from all ages? Do you like get a real bargain? Maybe even a steal.
Well here is your chance. 58 years old and still going strong. This vehicle was given to me by my father prior to his passing in 2008. He purchased the vehicle from a local collector in 2003. It always won a trophy when we entered it into a local care show in the Richmond VA area. Why am I selling it? Good question. This is a wonderful car, but not what I ultimately want. My father had 3 antique cars and this is the one he gave me. I presently don’t have the time to drive it as much as I would like. Doesn’t do anyone any good just sitting in a garage. NOTE: I am not interested in a vehicle trade. What I know about the vehicle… · Partially restored (75-80%) in early 2000 by a local collector. · Garage kept · Interior o Carpet shows normal wear, must not have been included in the restoration. o Seats are clean, no rips or tears. · Exterior o Clean paint job o Normal paint nicks from usage · Engine/Transmission o V8: Not sure if it is a 292 or 312 o Runs great o Will occasionally come out of second gear if not under power. But how often will you stay in Second. o Three-speed on the floor. · Overall o Considered a “30 Footer”. o Will chirp the tires in all three gears. o Hard top convertible. o Continental kit. o Fender Skirts o Speedometer is not hooked up. o Mileage shows mostly Zeros. Not sure of actual mileage. According to NADAGuides, this vehicle price range is: Low Retail: $35,000 Mid Retail: $52,000 Even though it has a few minor issues, in my opinion the car easily exceeds the guidelines of a Low Retail car. If you want more pictures or specific details, please do not hesitate to post a question. I will answer your question as soon as possible and to the best of my ability.

How Ford plans to handle insurance and repair questions surrounding new aluminum-bodied F-150
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Building a car out of aluminum has a number of benefits - the lighter weight allows the vehicle to be more agile, more fuel efficient, make better use of its power and be more resistant to dings and dents. The downside to the advanced construction, though, is that repairs are both challenging and expensive. That's troubling for the new, aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, because it's kind of made a name for itself as a rugged, durable work vehicle.
How will the legions of Ford buyers cope when it comes time to insure and repair their new trucks? Well, according to Ford, it's expecting a ten-percent jump in insurance costs for the aluminum-bodied F-150, although Ford's truck marketing manager, Doug Scott, was quick to point out that the F-150 is generally cheaper to insure than its competition from Ram and General Motors. "At the end of the day, that's sort of a wash," Scott told Automotive News at last week's Detroit Auto Show. "We've spent a lot of time and feel very comfortable that that's not going to be an inhibitor."
The other issue facing Ford is the distinct lack of body shops that have the training or equipment to repair aluminum-bodied vehicles. AN cites an estimate from the Automotive Service Association claiming that of the 30,000 independent body shops in the US, less than 10 percent are able to work on aluminum.

Fields 'required' to use private aircraft, could make $5.25M as Ford CEO this year
Thu, 03 Jul 2014Mark Fields' travels on the friendly skies will soon be a relatively personal affair, as the new CEO at Ford will be required to resume air travel via the company's private planes. Fields caught plenty of flak in 2007 for flying on the company's dime to visit his family in Florida. He's since flown commercial.
According to Ford spokesperson Susan Krusel, who spoke to Bloomberg, Fields (pictured above right, with Bill Ford, Jr. at center and Alan Mulally at left) will switch to private travel "for safety and to maximize his availability for company business." In addition to his new travel arrangements, the 53-year-old exec's salary and bonuses have been revealed.
Regulatory filings by Ford revealed that Fields, whose first day in the big chair was July 1, will receive a base salary this year of $1.25 million and he'll be eligible for $3.5 million in bonuses, both of which are lower than Alan Mulally's $2 million salary and $5.88 million in bonuses received last year. That's also lower than General Motors CEO Mary Barra's alleged $1.6-million salary and considerably less than Sergio Marchionne's $3.19-million fixed salary from Fiat. Despite falling short of other CEOs, Fields' new pay still represents a 33-percent increase over his pay as Chief Operating Officer.
