Summer is here and you need a good, great value cruiser, so your search may be over.
This nice driver quality T'Bird has a nice look with the fresh blue paint and will make you look good as you pull in to your local cruise-in with the classic style that everybody loves. The power is supplied by a strong running 390 v8 coupled to a NEW automatic transmission.
I am assisting the owner of this classic and he needs to quick sale price it so he can go back to France for a month. According to the owner, there is some water leakage at the cowl area although not too bad, some very minor rust in the trunk pan and cowl area, and a slight exhaust leak at the manifold pipe. He does have a new gasket for you to install to stop the leak. All power windows work, but 2 switches are touchy, so he will provide 2 new ones with the sale. The ignition works fine, but sometimes requires a little " jiggle " of the key - an easy fix. The hood release cable is operated by the included vice grips. About once a month you need to top off the power steering fluid, so a new seal may be in order in the future.
The car runs, drives, shifts, and stops very well. The lights, signals, horn, heater, and all gauges work as they should. Even the chrome is pretty decent and the car was just re-painted back to the original color & it looks great. New carpet and trunk kit were also added. Some pictures may still show the light blue color from before the re-paint, but it has been painted since these pictures were taken. The interior is pretty decent with only 1 or 2 small tears in the headliner that are not very obvious. The unibody undercarriage is pretty good with typical Ohio surface rust, but nothing that would be alarming to me.
If you have less than 3 positive eBay feedback, please send me your name and phone number BEFORE you bid, or your bid may be cancelled. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required to be received within 48 hours of auction end with balance due in cash or bank wire transfer received within 7 days of end of auction. I recommend that you come to see and drive the car and can arrange a private showing for you. The car is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to cancel this ad at any time. Reserve is VERY modest for a car like this. Call Jack at 330/389-0456 with any questions or to schedule a private viewing.

2015 Ford Focus gets more Aston-y [w/video]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014With more and more members of the Ford brand adopting a new familial face, the Focus has been left looking like an odd man out. At the Geneva Auto Show, though, it properly rejoined the family, adopting the now familiar Aston Martin-ish grille that's proliferated throughout the range.
Overall, we're liking the refreshed Focus' look. Aside from the new grille, the headlights have been restyled and now look like elongated versions of the lamps on the Focus ST. Functionally, those headlamps are bi-xenon units, complete with an adaptive front lighting system. Out back, the rear retains the same overall look, which has been smoothed out for 2015.
In the cabin, the second-generation of Ford's much-maligned Sync system makes its debut. Sync 2, as it's called, is supposedly more intuitive than the first-gen system. Ford is promising "one-shot" navigation functions for the system. Saying "I'm hungry," should bring up a list of nearby restaurants. Of course, we'll be reserving final judgment until we can test the new system in person.
Ford going bonkers at SEMA with 57 showcars
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Ford always shows up in force at the SEMA Show, but this year's tally of 57 custom-tuned cars, trucks and vans is more than we can ever recall the Blue Oval bringing. Ford will introduce 28 of its project vehicles in its "Dreamcase" ahead of next month's show. The first batch of eight you'll find here with the remaining vehicles trickling into public view over the next couple of weeks.
This first group of cars includes a Fiesta, four Fiesta ST hatchbacks and a trio of Mustang show cars styled and tuned to varying degrees all by different aftermarket companies. Tanner Foust, Nitto Tire, 3dCarbon and Ice Nine Group are some of the more familiar names affixed to these cars. Our favorite so far is the Hollywood Hot Rods Mustang convertible (shown above) with its removable aluminum top and methanol-injected, 750-horsepower 5.0-liter V8.
Scroll down for all the details on these Fiestas and Mustangs, and stay tuned for more info on Ford's SEMA line, which will include custom versions of the Focus ST, Fusion, Transit Connect, F-150 and Super Duty.
Ford jumps back in the water with marinized 6.2L V8
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Nameplates like the Mercury Mariner and Lincoln Navigator aside, Ford hasn't offered a marine engine in over two decades. But through a new partnership with one of the biggest names in the business, the Dearborn-based automaker is dipping its proverbial toes back in the water.
Announced yesterday at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the new partnership between Ford Component Sales and Indmar Marine Engines will see the 6.2-liter V8 from the F-150 SVT Raptor and F-Series Super Duty marinized for use in boats.
The largest privately owned inboard gasoline marine engine manufacturer in the world, Indmar has been in the business for 43 years, and figures the Ford V8 will be just what watersport enthusiasts are looking for to tow waterskiers and wakeboarders to their hearts' content.
