I have had this for about a year, gradually repaired everything that was wrong with it, with the exception of a few things left

Car has... New trunk floor from C2C, rear quarters under what was the washboards have been replaced with metal patch panels welded in,

New Gas Tank, New fuel pump, new fuel lines, new water pump, a rebuilt Holley 4 bbl carb, new plugs, points, condensor, wires and cap. a New 1 wire alternator. New ignition switch,

I have changed the leaky original slave cylinder style power steering with a new Borgeson power steering conversion box, new flaming river steering column and a new Flaming river waterfall steering wheel.

Also changed the original drum brakes on the front to Power disc kit from Scarebird industries.

The interior has been updated with 65 Thunderbird seats, non power, and the original rear seat, The console is from a 1972 Oldsmobile 442 with the Oldsmobile floor shifter connected to the cruise-omatic trans.

New Carpet kit all new interior in very good quality vinyl. done by a locally famous upholstery shop here in Grants Pass Oregon.

The car has new 15" tires with a one inch whitewall, wheels had to be up sized from the original 14" to clear the disc brake calipers, it has a full set of spider center covers and beauty rings

A nice set of original Starliner fender skirts and I will also include a pair of new dummy spotlights.

Starliner has been brought to the first step towards paint, it is a epoxy primer on top of 80 grit final sanding, It will need blocking and final paint

It has a new heater core and temp control for the heater. Original radio I did not bother to re connect, The dash and all interior pieces has been removed and painted Flame red, it also has a brand new

Padded dash cap. No speaker was installed when I put the dash back in the car.

The passengers side front fender had to be repaired (Not a real good fit) but I now have a stamped repair panel when it does get replaced.

There is NO rust in the floors, trunk or body panels anywhere that I found. at least not any more.

The windshield and passengers door glass are both cracked. I have a new windshield rubber seal and a new back glass window seal. both need to be replaced.

The 352 is the original engine and purrs like a kitten with almost instant starts, trans shifts like it is supposed to. Right now the only things left are replacing the seals and glass, straightening the little dents in the fender stainless, rechrome the bumpers and have the new headliner installed. ( If I receive the rear seal before it sells I will have the new headliner installed as it evidently has to go under the front and rear seals.

It has 2" lowering blocks in the rear and `1 coil removed from the front.

Any questions , just ask, I will answer as soon as I can

I reserve the right to remove this auction at any time as it is for sale locally

I added some more photo's... Remember this is an original motor and drivetrain, I WAS going to just clean it up a bit and drive it as a survivor, I did not do any cleaning or painting under the hood with the exception of the Borgeson steering box and the new Master cylinder/booster, of course the new brake lines, new fuel pump and water pump etc. Trunk is dusty from the epoxy overspray.

Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.

More 2015 Ford Mustang pricing information leaks [UPDATE]

Tue, 20 May 2014

The big news this morning was that the 2015 Ford Mustang would start at $24,425, including its destination pricing. The big news this afternoon is, well, bigger.
Mustang6G.com has come up with what it claims is pricing info for the entire Mustang line, rather than just the V6. That means we know all about the EcoBoost and GT prices now, which, when combined with the dealer order sheets we reported on last week, gives us our clearest look yet at how the Mustang can be outfitted (we're still a bit short on pricing info for some standalone options, like paint premiums and such).
The base EcoBoost starts at $25,995, while the GT rings up at $32,925.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
