Great Foundation for your next Project - Classic Cruiser with super straight and clean original body.
The car is now a roller but I have the original C5AE block, crank, pistons and rods. Engine is presently unassembled and
will need rebuilding. The body only has 34,330 original miles and the condition of the body shows this. Every panel is
lazer straight and I could only find 3 areas with rust. One small area in trunk lip under rubber seal, front of trunk pan, and small
area in passenger floorpan. The rest of the body and structure are amazingly solid and original. Radiator support excellent as well
as all framerails. Radiator and shroud included - radiator may need to be repaired. Tires are brand new whitewall radials with
all 4 hubcaps in excellent condition.
The interior is possibly this car's best attribute. The stainless is in great shape, headliner nice, bucklet seats good the driver seat will need a little repair.
We spent many hours on the electrical and the following function work: Radio, Heater, power antenae, hi and low beams, window washer pump, dome lights,
courtesy lights, brake lights, sequential turn signals, power windows will work with some tinkering, dash rheostat, hi beam indicator and even the clock works!
Rebuild the included 390 short block, source the top-end of the motor (heads, intake manifold, cam ETC not included) source an MX or C6 transmission and you will have an easy winter project that will
turn many heads in the spring! I reserve the right to end the auction at any time due to the car being for sale locally. Please ask any and all questions. Very reasonable reserve. Thank you.
T - Bird is a project that will need work, assembly, some parts, and TLC before its ready for the road. Sold as is where is with no warrantly whatsoever.
Buyer must pick up vehicle within 7 days of auction close unless previously arranged.

Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines
Mon, 27 May 2013Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.
Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!
