Waiting in a garage for perhaps 20 years, my good friend and I brought this beautiful vehicle back to life in the early 2000s and it's been with me since. If I recall correctly, it was originally purchased by a doctor residing in Pennsylvania.

For several years I drove the car regularly, including many 300 mile round trips. Alas, it is now time for me to sell because I have moved nearer to the city, where a $100/month garage is not exactly in my budget...

Mechanically, the car is sound and drivable. Just know that it is not currently inspected and I would recommend a tow to its new home. So much of this car was restored or repaired by me and my friends -- too much to recall and/or list. Some notable overhauls include complete brakes, fuel (including tank), and exhaust (including manifolds). Admittedly, the car needs some minor body work and surely deserves new paint. What you don't see in the daytime photos is some wheel well rust which should be corrected before painting the vehicle. Furthermore, the front seats should be reupholstered, although they are not torn.

Although totally drivable, a tuneup and carb rebuild are in order. As it stands, I last rebuilt the carb in a hurry and without a working accelerator pump due to a parts order screwup. This kind of thing can be fixed in a day or less with the right parts.

The motor is the MEL 430 V8 (7.0L) aka torque monster. The gear selection lever actually gives the driver the ability to start off in second gear! Speaking of the trans, it always shifts very well, provided you use the correct fluid. I did install a trans cooler which certainly helps in the hot weather.

Here's a short video of the 430 purring along:

There are quite a few gadgets on this car, and most of them work. Namely, some things which do not work (to the extent I can remember) are the four main windows (the small ones work fine and the main ones just stopped working) and the AC (I cut the belt long ago, although the clutch did engage on demand per the AC console lever). Naturally, the stock radio is nonworking albeit present, though the car is set up for a standard DIN: the custom cage is inconspicuous and the wiring is mostly present.

The car is a driver, but is also a fantastic restoration candidate. I'm hoping it lands in a good home. The title is clear and in-hand. Feel free to contact me any time. Thanks for looking!

China-market Ford Edge spotted testing in Spain with a mystery wagon

Thu, Aug 18 2022

There are a few threads to put together for this one. The U.S.-market Ford Edge and Lincoln Nautilus have been rumored to meet their ends during the 2023 model year; contract negotiations pointed to the Oakville Assembly Plant that that builds being converted to build five Ford electric vehicles in 2025. On top of that, we've heard years of rumors about a Ford Fusion Active wagon-esque product that would challenge the Subaru Outback and fill a perceived gap in the U.S. lineup. We're not sure what the Ford vehicles in the spy shots above are, nor were the spy photographers who caught them during hot weather testing in Spain. And we mean vehicles, plural, details like the side mirror attachment points, DRL signatures, rear bumpers and muffler orientations pointing to these being two products. Here are our guesses. One of them is almost certainly the new Ford Edge that will debut soon for the Chinese market (above and below). Motor1 saw that the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology published photos of that country's newest Edge in two configurations, a lesser trim that can seat five or seven, and a top trim that seats seven only. The camouflaged car in the gallery above with the mirrors that mount on the door would be the same vehicle. The headlights on the China-market Edge feature the same central, stacked DRLs instead of the single lower and side DRLs of the other vehicle. The taillights are temporary units, but they match the squared vertical design of the new crossover. And the rear bumper of the Chinese Edge features the same slanted cutout in the middle, and beneath that, the same enormous muffler on the driver's side of the car. Look more closely, and one can also spot the way the sheetmetal flicks up at the C-pillar then descends to the D-pillar. Engineers tried to hide it with camo, but it's there. Ford Authority believes the other vehicle, the one with the side mirrors mounted at the base of the A-pillar, could be a new Lincoln Nautilus. Ford's Changan Hangzhou plant in China builds the Edge and its sister Lincoln product for that market. Although both are presumed to be headed for the grave here, one is clearly carrying on over there, so there's no reason to believe the other wouldn't as well.Â Â Â Â The big mystery is whether one of these is the Ford Fusion Active. Well, a bigger mystery would be to figure out if the Fusion Active is even a thing anymore, or if we — including Ford Â— collectively imagined it.
