Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States

This is not a Show Car
but a Super Cool Weekend Cruiser.
I am helping a Dr.
friend liquidate part of his car collection, as he is not longer able or
interested in enjoying and he wants someone else to enjoy (look for others to
come). He has owned the car for
7 years and did the following work sparing no expense by professionals: New
paint job with gold flake white color (beautiful); accent stripes, (2 slightly
different colors, that match the dash panels beautifully, new interior,
including headliner; complete exhaust system replaced; new brakes, new tires
and American Racing Wheels (perfect condition),
replaced the 4-barrel carb with after market Edelbrock (needs adjusting, and I
am in line with my mechanic to get that done, runs good at highway speeds, sluggish
when starting); Remote Pop-out door
openers (notice no handles) that are very nice. The car has rare electric
driver seat (manual passenger), and swing away steering wheel (easy entry
access). The power windows, even the power vent windows work great. All glass
is very good!
The car needs a new
trunk pad (available online for $115.00), and the radiator tank needs painting
(see pics) looks like it may not have been painted, or painted poorly. A couple
little nicks and a small piece if chrome trim around the passenger side head
light is missing ( I had not noticed this until a 74 yr old tire kicker who
spent 2 hrs with his magnifying glass pointed it out last weekend) and there is
a small scrape on the bumper
(got a little too close to his garage wall). The inside rear view mirror is
missing (arm is there) and the remote mirror on the drive door is cracked
(remote works good).
The car rides and drives
like a dream and has tons of power.
This car is not perfect
but a fantastic value, as you can cruise with it now (I have carried it out 3
times, and even my wife who hates old cars thinks it's "Hot".)
Classic Example of
Muscle and Luxury Indeed! The car is Beautiful, you will be impressed!
Please read this
carefully! If you have a feedback less than 20, don't bid unless you talk to
me. I will cancel and ban your bids. I learned the hard way (cost me $125 last
listing) that I can cancel your bid. If you are legitimate
and don't have to borrow the $$$ from your rich uncle or wait until your tax
refund comes in, we can deal. Do not show up and waste my time with a
silly low ball offer. If the car does not sell I am going to buy it
myself. My wife loves it, and I
have already made room for it.
I will try my best to
answer all your logical questions asap, so please contact me. The car is for sale
locally so I reserve the right to end the auction, so don't let it get away if
you want it!
Good Luck, thanks, steve in Chattanooga |

Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Last August, Ford made a few waves by claiming that the Ford Focus was, at that point, the top-selling car in the world. The automaker failed to account for variations of the Toyota Corolla wearing a different name (such as the Auris and Matrix), however. With official data from Polk coming in now, Ford is able to say that the Focus was, in fact, the best-selling nameplate in the world last year.
Using new-car registrations (which doesn't factor in fleet sales), the Polk data shows that a total of more than one million Focus models around the world. Strong sales in the US and China have led to a 16 percent increase in year-over-year Focus sales from 2011 that helped to create even more of a gap between it and the second-best global seller, the Corolla.
Ford also had the Fiesta and F-Series listed in the top 10 for worldwide nameplates, but what's even more impressive is the fact that the F-Series is only sold in North America. Scroll down to see the list (compiled by Ford using Polk data) of the top global sellers last year and a press release from Ford.
Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion
Thu, 30 Oct 2014After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.
The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.
