I bought this car in November of 2011 from an eighty year old man where it had been parked in his garage for the last ten years. The cars original color was green as seen in some of the pictures. The owner before me wanted a red car and had the paint work done (not top quality). The cars dash was sprayed black and door panels changed. Someone was in the process of removing the black paint from the dash when I bought it. This car was restored many years ago and reportedly came out of California. Point is the body work is average, not top shelf, but there is very little rust. A few spots in the trunk floor and a few bubbles behind the rear tire. Everything else is solid. Within the last year and a half I have replace the complete exhaust system, the complete brake system (master/wheel cylinders, shoes, and rubber lines), water pump and cooling system parts including a new aluminum radiator, and repaired some leaks in the power steering system. The fuel pump has been replaced and all fuel system/carb issues resolved. New distributor vacuum spark advance along with a tuneup and battery. The car has a shell of a hardtop (just the fiberglass) that could be finished out. I purchased an original soft top with swing arm. The top fabric needs to be replaced but the frame is in excellent condition. This car is a driver, starts and runs fine. I insured it and bought the license plate. I drive it whenever I can (pleasure only). It is very dependable and has earned my confidence. I'm selling because I have got to a point where the body work needs to start. I'm more mechanical than body work and have lost some interest. I also have an old chevy truck I want to finish, so its time for this one to go. I know I'm not going to make money or even get my money out of it, but I won't give it away either so there is a reserve. Please contact me with any questions. I will send additional photos as requested.

Can an actual Ford F-150 ride on 4 Power Wheels F-150s?
Tue, Dec 9 2014A lot of kids are rough on their toys, especially when it comes to those made to be used outside, like a four-wheeled kid-size Power Wheels. Whether it's cruising through the sand box, carrying piles of rocks in the driveway or crashing around trees in the backyard, these motorized vehicles often take punishment from the moment the giftwrap comes off. The folks at Fisher-Price decided to give their latest F-150 Power Wheels a true torture test worse than any kid could have ever managed by setting a real 2015 Ford F-150 on top of four of them. Would the little toy trucks explode in a shower of plastic shards in a massive collapse, and if not, could they drive away afterwards? The latest F-150 might be 700 pounds lighter thanks to the switch to aluminum, but it's still a fullsize pickup. According to this clip, the truck weighs in at 4,120 pounds, which puts an average of 1,030 pounds on each of the toys. Check out the video above to see how the stunt goes, and click on the gallery below for some behind-the-scenes looks at the setup.
Ford to hack $4k off price of Focus EV amid slow sales
Wed, 10 Jul 2013Between slow sales and a hefty price drop for its nearest rival, the Ford Focus Electric may be looking at a pretty substantial price cut. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will drop the price of the all-electric by about $4,000 to $35,200 to be more competitive with the Nissan Leaf, which received a big price cut for 2013 down to $28,800.
Ford has already admitted to having low expectations for the car's sales and massive rebates were reported earlier in the year, but there is still no official word from Ford on this matter. The company's consumer site still lists the 2014 model's starting price as $39,200. In addition to the Leaf, the Focus Electric will also have to deal with the lower prices of smaller EVs including the Honda Fit EV, Fiat 500e and the Chevrolet Spark EV.
Ford Mustang pinball machine has supple wrist, plays by sense of smell [w/video]
Fri, 07 Feb 2014Ford didn't have anything major to show off at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, so it seems it instead opted to have some fun - it brought a row of pinball machines to the show. Yes, pinball machines.
We originally told you about the Stern Pinball Ford Mustang machine a few days ago, and as day two of the Chicago show is a bit of a slow one, we opted to head to the show floor and get some snaps of the bank of new machines. Not surprisingly, there's plenty for the Mustang fan in each of these machines, ranging frond different models, to logos to a full model.
Take a look below for our full gallery of live shots, available up top. Then head below for our original gallery of stock images, along with a video and press release on the new machines.
