AN ALL MATCHING NUMBER CAR!!!

NEW PAINT

NEW UPOLSTRY

This 49 year old lady I consider to be 99.9% done and ready to go. I've tried to keep her as original as she was new. The upholstery is five star. The paint is at least a four &3/4 star. The chrome on this car is all original & is in great condition.

When I bought this car from a 97 year old man it'd been sitting in his garage for ten or more years. I had to pull the gas tank and flush it and the fuel lines. New fuel pump and filters. All of the suspension rubber was rotten. But being a Southern Nevada car, corrosion was not an issue. I pulled the motor reconditioned the heads and changed the freeze plugs (as one was leaking). I pulled the oil pan and plastic gauged the main and rod bearings and found all within tolerance. I've rebuilt the power steering pump & the power brake booster. I pulled the radiator, had it pressure tested, flushed and painted. All new hoses, belts & tune up. Rebuilt starter & bendix. New tires, Hankooks P215-75R15 (white walls), new brakes front and rear. All new front suspension: ball joints, tie rod ends, all new rubber bushings in the control arms, and I put new front coil springs in her as well.

I pulled the transmission pan and found all to be clean and operational. I did however replace the transmission mount and the U-joints. I put new rubber bushings in the rear leaf springs but I did not replace the springs themselves as the car seems to sit good. I rebuilt the original autolite carburetor (three times) and I just could not get her to behave herself, so I put on an Holley 600 cfm and it seemed to straighten her out.

The original carb will come with the car as may be someone better than me can get it to run properly.

I also bought a radio for her, it's a 240 watt AM FM, with usb player, RCA outputs, DVD, and satellite. As you can see in the photos, it is still in the box and brand new It's got the T-bird emblem on the face & It's supposed to slip right in. (see pics) I did not install the sound because as now this old lady is as original as I can make her. Besides, my upholstery guy told me that if I started cutting holes into his work, he'd disown me and not do anymore work for me.

Therefore, whoever does decide to buy my fine lady can do the sound themselves.

The exhaust system is the same as when I bought the car, it's in good condition, they's a pair of bullet mufflers under there that sound great. So I just let it be.

Things wrong: the horn does not work, the directional signal return does not work as well (I can't find the proper switch), and there is a clear glass reverse light lense that I cannot find (I have searched everywhere). I also have not found the original air cleaner.

This car is now located in Las Vegas NV. Buyer can trailer her home. If it was me, I'd kinda like to drive her from here to New York City, as she is a blast to drive & quite the head turner!

Ford Mustang was almost 'Imported from Detroit'

Wed, Oct 7 2015

The Ford Mustang achieved iconic status nearly the moment the sheet came off at the 1964 World's Fair. And if Henry Ford II wasn't getting divorced around that time, the pony car might have been called the Torino and been marketed as 'Imported from Detroit,' according to Automotive News. We'll explain. During research for the new book Once in a Great City: A Detroit Story, author David Maraniss found an interesting connection between Chrysler's (now FCA US) slogan and the Ford Mustang. Before the pony car even had a name, the Blue Oval's advertising agency had the idea to market it as a "brand new import ... from Detroit," according to Automotive News. The vehicle would be sold as "inspired by Italy's great road cars, but straight from Detroit." The name Torino was suggested, as well. However, the real world interfered in making the Mustang Detroit's first import. According to the author, Henry Ford II was getting a divorce, and his future wife was Italian. It was therefore thought to be a bad idea to sell the future pony car as being from Italy. Things clearly changed by the time the Torino hit the streets years later. Related Video:

2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

You might not be interested in owning a subcompact (B-segment) hatchback for $20,000. Let's be clear from the get go here: there are any number of reasonable arguments for staying away from the highest-content versions of these small cars. Ford's player in the B-segment arena is the newly updated 2014 Fiesta, and the Titanium trim represents the most luxurious instantiation of the model. We recently were loaned a Fiesta Titanium for a week, whose final sticker price hit $20,390, with navigation being the only standalone option added to the bottom line. By way of comparison, the most basic version of the all new, one-segment-up Mazda3 hatchback costs $19,740 with delivery and destination accounted for, and no options added on.
Hold on to that thought for a moment, we'll get back to it.
