1965 Ford Station Wagon, Customized,lowered,california Car Driven Daily on 2040-cars
Naples, Florida, United States
Up for consideration is my 1965 Ford Country Sedan that has been customized. This was a California car all it's life until I bought it.
The car has been lowered, door handles shaved, bodywork and paint and custom pinstriping were done in CA. I have redone the mechanicals ( new brakes, tires, shocks, exhaust system, tune up/ fluids, new wiper motor, new fan motor, rebuilt carb, rad flush, etc.) and installed a new custom interior and automatic door poppers on the front doors with hidden switches. This is a fabulous highway cruising car and I have used it for work projects out of town and out of state, taken it to antique car swap meets in different states to load up parts for our collection of cars, picked up replated bumpers and loaded the car with tires from Coker Tire in TN to bring back home etc. As you can see, it is not a show car but a very cool, unusual and practical fun car. v8, auto, ps, pb and that is it. Currently shows under 65000 miles ( I have put over 20,000. miles on the car ) and I believe it is original since there is no rust on the car and based on the wear. The rear electric window in the tailgate works well. The car could use new weatherstripping all around and if you wanted to install a stereo you could ( it has the original AM radio ) but I don't listen to the radio when I drive so it never bothered me. As this is a 49 year old used car it is being sold as/ is, with no warranties. If you want photos of something not showing, or have questions, or want to see/ drive the car, just email. I would have no hesitation driving this car across the country anytime. As I said, I take it on long road trips and it has never had a problem with me. I collect old Pontiac's and this is the only non-Pontiac car in my collection ( not counting the old cars my wife has) so I am redoing an old Pontiac wagon in the same style as this Ford which is the only reason I am putting this up for sale. |

Ford recalls 434k vehicles for several unrelated issues
Mon, 07 Apr 2014It seems that the hard winter in much of the country has been as rough on some Fords as it has on many people. The Blue Oval is recalling roughly 434,000 vehicles in two separate recalls, and one of them partially caused by the salt used to melt the snow on roads.
The first recall covers 385,750 2001-2004 Escape models in the Midwest, Northeast and Canada because a subframe could rust and eventually fail. This is partially due to the road salt used in those areas, and about 349,000 of the affected vehicles are in the US. To remedy the problem, dealers are installing a reinforcement cross brace on the frame to strengthen them. There has been one crash caused by the failure but no injuries. According to The Detroit News, this is not the first rust-related recall for Ford. It estimates the company has repaired over two million vehicles since 2010 for problems on vehicles related to the iron oxide, including the rear wheel wells of the Freestar minivan.
The second recall covers 48,950 2013-2014 Ford Fusion, Escape, C-MAX and Lincoln MKZ models because welds in their seatbacks don't meet National Highway Traffic Safety Administration standards. The fault affects the front seats, and the sub-standard welds joining the setback to the recliner could increase the chance on injury. There have been no reported injuries or accidents caused by the problem, but there are 42,972 affected vehicles in the US and 4,744 in Canada.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).

Shelby American cleans house of 14 concept cars
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Typically when an automaker rolls out a concept car or pre-production prototype, it does its tour and then disappears into the company's archives. Maybe it will be displayed for the public to see in the company's own museum or maybe it will spend most of its time under covers in a warehouse somewhere, but every once in a while, an automaker will open up its history and start selling off its concept cars. For Shelby American, "once in a while" has just rolled around.
The House that Carroll Built is moving from its previous headquarters at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to a new facility off of the Las Vegas strip, and in the process is liquidating fourteen of the rarest cars in its collection. That presents a tremendous opportunity for muscle car collectors to bring one or more of these snakes home.
As you might expect, the catalog is composed mostly of Mustangs, but not exclusively. There's a pair of 289 Cobras: the last of the 50th anniversary slab-sided continuation cars and an original development vehicle, offered at $200,000 apiece. At the other end of the spectrum you'll find the 2013 Shelby Raptor concept for $125k and Focus concept for $50k. And of course there are the Mustangs.
