Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

I bought this great T-bird about 5 weeks ago because I wanted to experience driving across the USA, including Route 66. This car is a great example of a survivor car. The paint and interior is original, but some restoration has taken place under the hood, including an engine change in 1990 according to the receipts that came with it.

I drove it around 3000 miles from Illinois, through Indiana and Ohio to New Jersey, then through Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas and Oklahoma. I would have driven it all the way to California and on to Vegas had a problem not developed with the air-con that was going to take too long to sort out for my trip deadlines. During the trip, I had the a/c converted to r134 in New Jersey, the driver's side balljoint replaced as well as steering and suspension rubbers in Tennessee, and 5 new tires in Oklahoma. Have receipts. A compression test was also done in Memphis, with all cylinders strong. There are a couple of oil leaks. I also lost two hubcaps along the way.

The sticker inside the driver's door (see picture) suggests the car spent at least its first 9 years in California. This may have been longer, but I only have receipts back to 1989, and all of those are from Illinois. There are some photographs in the receipts folder that indicate the car was garaged for a significant period of time at one stage, judging by the amount of dust on it.

The body is in great shape. The only rust I could find is under the passenger door around the seal, and even this is only superficial. I think this is the strongest aspect of the car, and previous owners have obviously been very careful with when and where the car was driven.

Odometer reads 8326, but obviously that has gone around once or twice. Wipers, all lights and cigarette lighter work. The radio powers up but isn't connected to speakers (and there is no aerial). The clock works!

Any questions, please contact Glenn by email at Glenn.Luthy@gmail.com

Call 262 664 2923 to arrange a time to see the car.

The car is titled and registered in Illinois, registration expires 7/14. VIN # is 4Y83Z119888

Payment is by cashier's check.

NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.
