Pottstown, Pennsylvania, United States
CA Car New Engine
in 2007 @86,854 Ownership
change to PA @ 89,641 in Oct 2010 Runs great,
Fun Drive
Car was
purchased from CA owner in September 2010.
When I bought the car, the ad run stated the following” CA car… the
engine rebuilt, rebuilt the transmission and had new brakes installed. All electric system has been thoroughly
worked on and is in nice working condition.”
CA owner provided receipts for work to include the engine rebuilt in
2007, steering box replaced, battery replaced, head gasket, door locks and
flashers, mirror drivers side, foam added in front seats, rear leaf spring
bushing, vacuum lines, window motor and switch work, sway bar link and bushing
kit. Since I have owned the car, I had
work done on the top to include some switch replacement, solenoid replaced, all
new hose kit and the top has worked great ever since. It has been inspected for PA. I had the carburetor work done to replace
floats, and have done regular maintenance.
The car had 89641 on the odometer when I registered it and currently has
92,047. It is fun to drive, a head
turner, enjoyable vehicle with some charm.
It is not perfect. The previous
owner stated he had spent 15 to 20K on the car, I have spent around 5K. The price reserve is low in hopes to find
this bird a new home. As with any car, this bird has some wear and
some things that could be improved on they are as follows: Separation
of lather seat seem at back top about 1 inch. Water temperature gage and radio
do not work. Kick plate on interior passenger side is missing fuse cover and
cracked. Door panels show age with some cracking. Cigarette lighter missing.
Driver side mirror loose. Driver side fender at top has slight bubble in paint.
Passenger side right front fender has scrape type damage. Rear plastic window
is fogged. Other items may exist and buyer is welcome to have vehicle
inspected. Miles listed are at time of
listing and may be higher since the vehicle is driven on nice sunny days with
the top down and a smile on the face! |

Ford Claims Focus As World's Best-Selling Car For Second Year In A Row
Mon, Jan 27 2014Ford Motor Co. has claimed its Focus sedan beat out the Toyota Corolla for the title of 'best-selling car in the world' for the second year in a row. The declaration was based on independent sales figures from January to September of 2013, according to USA Today. Last year, Ford used data from the analysis firm Polk to support its claim of having the best-selling car of 2012. Toyota objected, stating the Corolla sold more units. The numbers eventually showed that the Ford Focus was the best selling nameplate of the year, but may have been second to the Toyota sedan overall since multiple variations of the Corolla are sold under different nameplates around the world. Data from the analysis firm R.L. Polk found Focus registrations from January through September 2013 reached 856,587. Ford can thank booming car sales in China, where the automaker sold 303,481 units, for a sizable chunk of that number, which was a 16 percent increase over 2012. "Our success with Focus is the result of Ford's connection to our customers all over the world," said Jim Farley, an executive vice president at Ford. The Focus and Corolla both compete in the popular small sedan segment, along with other hot-selling cars like the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra and Chevrolet Cruze. These vehicles make a up a large portion of sales for their respective automakers, as they tend to hit a sweet spot for many consumers, coming with a starting sticker price under $20,000, solid fuel economy, plenty of cargo and passenger room and, lately, sharp exterior design and sportier driving dynamics.

Europe's most-wanted classic car is... the Ford Mustang?
Sat, 28 Sep 2013Over the span of its 49 years and five generations, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts in the US, but, as it turns out, this car is also very popular amongst European car lovers. Earlier this summer, AutoScout24 - a new and used car shopping site in Europe - polled around 75,000 European "car lovers" (not sure how they vetted the respondents) to see which cars were the most popular, and the Mustang came out on top over iconic European classics like the BMW M1 and Volkswagen Beetle.
In the whole of Europe, 37 percent of those polled dream of owning a Mustang, but that number jumps in individual countries like Austria (42 percent) and Spain (41 percent). Rounding out the top five popular classics in Europe are the Mini and Citroën 2CV. Find out which cars made up the rest of the top 10 in the press release posted below.
NHTSA closes Ford F-150 EcoBoost acceleration probe
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Typically when we report on the findings of an investigation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it's because the government body has discovered a safety issue and prescribed a recall. In this case, however, NHTSA has closed an investigation into a reported performance deficit without ever getting to the recall stage.
The issue revolves around the Ford F-150 - specifically those equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine - of which some 360,000 were built in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 model years. After receiving an initial 95 complaints, NHTSA opened an investigation last May - almost a year ago - into the reported issue of reduced engine power under hard acceleration. The agency has since received a total of 525 such complaints, and Ford itself reported receiving over 4,000.
Together, NHTSA and Ford determined that the problem resulted from cylinders misfiring, an issue itself stemming from water getting into the charge air cooler (CAC) mated to the turbochargers. In particularly humid or rainy conditions, water was found to get into the CAC, causing some of the cylinders to misfire, which in turn triggered the ECU to disable those cylinders in order to protect the catalytic converter from damage.
