THANKS FOR VIEWING. AFTER MANY YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, I NOW DECIDED TO SELL THIS CAR I HAVE CHERISHED. I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A CONDITION THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO WORK ON ANY OF MY OLD CARS---THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I AM SELLING. THIS CAR HAS BEEN ADULT OWNED ALL IT'S LIFE AND NEVER HAD KIDS IN IT. THE INTERIOR IS 98% PERFECT AND ONLY SHOW THE SLIGHTEST SIGN OF USE ON THE DRIVERS SEAT. THE BACK SEAT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS NEVER BEEN SAT ON. ALL THE GLASS IS PERFECT, THE ORIGINAL PADDED DASH IS PERFECT, CARPETS PRFECT. THE PADDED TOP IS PERFECT, ALL THE TRIM IS VERY NICE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW DOOR DINGS IN THE WHEEL TRIM PIECES, EASY TO REPLACE---BUT THEN IT WOULD NOT BE ABSOLUTELY ORIGINAL. BEWARE OF THOSE "RESTORED CARS", MOST OFTEN THEY NEEDED RESTORATION BECAUSE OF THINGS THE SELLER DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT. THIS IS NOT A RESTORED CAR. IN MY 8 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP I HAVE DONE THE FOLLOWING, (SOME MORE RECENT THAN OTHERS): BRAKES ALL AROUND, (HYDRAULICS ARE FINE). ALL BELTS AND HOSES, WATERPUMP, FUEL PUMP, ADDED A LARGER FUEL FILTER AT THE REAR OF FUEL TANK.WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BEEN UPGRADED TO USE THE UNITS FROM A MODEL HAVING WIND WING GLASS. THE ORIGINAL PIECES WERE MADE OF PLASTIC AND FAIL OVER TIME. THE NEW ONES ARE METAL. WINDOWS GO UP/DOWM AS ONE SHOULD EXPECT, NICE AND SMOOTH.ALL EXHAUST HAS BEEN REPLACED FROM THE CATYLITIC CONVERTERS BACK AND ELIMINATING THE RESONATORS, STILL FACTORY QUIET SOUND. THE MASSIVE 4 BBL CARB WAS REPLACED WITH A 2 BBL TO GREATLY IMPROVE MILEAGE. THE ORIGINAL CARBS WERE TROUBLESOME WHEN NOT USED REGULARLY. THE ORIGINAL CARB GOES WITH THE CAR AS WELL AS ANY PART CHANGED IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE IT MORE USER FRIENDLY. THE UNDERHOOD IS AS CLEAN AS A CAR MUCH YOUNGER. THIS CAR CAN BE RETURNED TO ABSOLUTE ORIGINAL WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORT. CAR WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD IN SACREMENTO AND THERE IS A NICE STORY TO GO WITH THAT. I STILL HAVE THE BOX OF TISSUES THE LITTLE OLD LADY USED BEFORE SHE DIED, IT WAS IN THE CAR. FEEL FREE TO DISCUSS ANY CONCERNS NOT MENTIONED HERE. AS WITH ANY EBAY PURCHASE, BE SURE YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH WHO YOU ARE DEALING WITH. THE SALE SHOULD MAKE BOTH PARTIES HAPPY.
THINGS TO DO: WILL NEED A COMPRESSOR SEAL, LEAKS FROM SITTING TOO LONG. I DO NOT USE IT IN OUR BRUTAL SUMMERS. THE A/C HAS BEEN MODIFIED FOR COLDER OUTPUT, CONVERTED TO 134A AND TO A CLUTCH CYCLING FUNCTION RETAINING THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM. CAPABLE OF EXTREME COLD OUTPUT. COULD USE A NEW FRONT PUMP SEAL IN THE TRANSMISSION. I WILL FURNISH THE "AMERICAN MADE" PARTS. I DO NOT USE THIS CAR DURING OUR SUMMERS BECAUSE OF OUR SEVERE HEAT AND REDICULOUS CONSTANT SUNSHINE! NEITHER OF THESE WILL PREVENT YOU FROM GOING TO CARSHOWS.
EXTRA PARTS INCLUDE 2 USED, (BUT SUITABLE FOR RECHROMING), BUMPERS. EXTRA H/LITE SWITCH. BE PREPARED TO TAKE THESE EXTRAS WITH YOU. THE SALE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE NEW WHEELS AND TIRES, BUT, WILL INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL WHEELS, PRISTINE HUBCAPS, AND NEAR NEW SET OF TIRES. THE NEW WHEEL/TIRE PACKAGE CAN BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY FOR THEIR ACTUAL COST OF JUST UNDER $1600. THE WHEELS ARE AMERICAN MAG, MODEL "505', THE TIRES ARE BFG RADIAL TA'S, 400 MILES ON THEM. PLEASE BE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THIS BEFORE BIDDING. I VERY SINCERELY ASK YOU TO INSPECT THIS CAR----THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE-----IT IS NOT A FIXER-UPPER! TAKE A CHEAP FLIGHT, BUS SERVICE ALMOST TO MY DOOR. PLEASE USE THE "CONTACT SELLER" FEATURE TO ASK ANY QUESTION. I AM RETIRED AND WILL ANSWER BACK ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WHEN POSSIBLE. I CAN TAKE MORE PICTS IF NEEDED. PLEASE NOTE, I AM HEARING IMPAIRED. EMAILS, TEXTS OR COMBINATION OF BOTH IS BEST, CALLS----SPEAK UP WITH NO ACCENTS----NO HABLO ESPANOL---NO---NO---NO!
THIS CAR CAN BE DRIVEN HOME, BUT DUE TO WEATHER PATTERNS I WOULD SUGGEST AN ENCLOSED HAULER

Ford recalling 390,000 cars over door latch woes
Fri, Apr 24 2015Ford is recalling certain Fiesta, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles due to faulty door latches, marking the latest in what seems to be a recurring issue for the Blue Oval. This is the third door latch recall from Ford in 2015, following a 213,000-unit recall in March and a 205,000-unit recall in January. This one, however, is significantly larger. A total of 390,000 units are affected, including Fusions and MKZs from model years 2013 and 2014, as well as Fiestas from model years 2012 to 2014. A "broken pawl spring tab" is the culprit, potentially keeping doors from latching shut. According to Ford, even if the door does shut, it could come open again without warning. The affected Fiestas were built between February 1, 2012 and May 31, 2013 at the Cuautitlan, Mexico factory. The Fusion and MKZ siblings, meanwhile, were screwed together at Hermosillo Assembly in Mexico between July 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013. Ford is aware of three minor reports of door malfunctions. In two cases, the door bounced back open, quite literally hitting drivers on their way out. In the third case, a door swung open of its own accord while a driver was attempting to park, hitting another vehicle. Ford will notify owners, who will need to report into dealers to have all four latches replaced. Scroll down for the official press release. Related Video: APR 24, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUES SAFETY RECALL IN NORTH AMERICA FOR DOOR LATCH ISSUE ON FORD FIESTA AND FUSION, LINCOLN MKZ Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 390,000 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta and 2013-2014 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles for a door latch issue. The door latch in these vehicles may experience a broken pawl spring tab, which typically results in a condition where the door will not latch. If a customer is then able to latch the door, there is potential the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is aware of two allegations of soreness resulting from an unlatched door bouncing back when the customer attempted to close it, and one accident allegation when an unlatched door swung open and struck an adjacent vehicle as the driver was pulling into a parking space. Affected vehicles include certain 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta vehicles built at Cuautitlan Assembly Plant, Feb.
2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
Lincoln revival bypasses rear-wheel drive for now
Wed, Nov 25 2015Ford execs had the axe ready for Lincoln just a few years ago, but the luxury marque is on a hot streak these days. Annual sales are up 7.5 percent through October, and the recently unveiled, refreshed 2017 MKZ previews the company's improved styling. In a great piece about the brand's growth strategy, Automotive News finds the division's bosses want to focus on the core vehicles before taking a big step and building a rear-wheel drive niche model. "Luxury coupes and sports cars are not the first place we need to go," Global Lincoln Director Matt VanDyke said in the story. The division's bosses want to use the updated MKZ as an opportunity to distance Lincoln's identity from Ford, and the powertrain will carry the 3.0T badge rather than Ford's EcoBoost name as part of that approach. The model also injects excitement into the range thanks to an all-wheel drive version with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with 400 horsepower and an optional Driver's Package with a torque-vectoring rear differential. Lincoln will launch at least three new models by 2020, too. One of those will be the production Continental that will reportedly debut at the Detroit Auto Show. The company will also allegedly revive the Aviator to fit below the Navigator. The third vehicle remains a mystery but likely isn't a compact. Automotive News' story further examines the previously languishing brand's work to climb up the luxury ranks in the US. It's well worth a read. Related Video:
