Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This car runs and drives very well, rebuilt 390, new brakes, shocks and suspension bushings. Very nice black interior, stereo etc. Of course as with many older cars there is a short list of issues remaining to be addressed:1. Gas gauge reads low, probably sender.2. Drivers power window regulator is worn and window needs "help" coming back up straight. Replacement regulators are elusive.3. Power window switch bezels are not installed, one or two are MIA and hard to find.4. Alternator belt is slipping5. Minor hesitation on throttle "tip in"..brand new carb, but it needs adjustment of accelerator pump rod and/or squirter size.6. No jack or spare tire.7. Small leaks in PS line, operating fine.8. Small leak at kickdown lever on transmission (kick down linkage removed for now)Cosmetically the pictures speak for themselves, but the paint is not that great. The previous painter was not good at metallic paint and there are minor flaws and very subtle "Zebra stripes" in the trunk lid."

I've had this car for a few years and really enjoyed it. My plan was to prepare it for a 10 day Route 66 trip that some of my "car guy" friends were planning. Well I got it ready and my buddies are dragging their feet going on the trip. The car is really BIG and it takes up two sports car's worth of space in my shop, so its gotta go.

I bought it locally from a man who's dream was to restore it. He had it painted and then passed away. It sat for years in a covered warehouse before I bought it from his estate.

During my ownership, I've redone the interior, rebuilt the engine, upgraded to a four barrel carb and RV Cam, added Flowmaster dual exhaust, new tires on aluminum torque thrust wheels, brakes, replaced suspension bushings, added bigger sway brand new shocks, new windshield (try to find one!) I basically made it ready for a cross country trip. It is truly a wonderful car to drive. Nothing rides like these big old cars. At 75 mph on the freeway with the top down, you can converse easily and your hair hardly gets messed up.

Its great to drive, engine is very strong, it rides good and even though there are the minor issues outlined above, you could not duplicate this car for the buy it now price even if you did all the work yourself, There is no serious rust, the trunk is dry and there are only the tiniest pinholes in the rear floor pan.

When salvage metal got some valuable a few years ago, many of these cars were lost to the crushers and junk yards dont have them anymore. It makes parts hard to find, but it also means that nice ones like this will appreciate.

I am not trying for "show car" money, but I am not doing a "fire sale" either...a really fair deal is available here, bid on!

Here are some videos of the power top working and that awesome V8 sound:)

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.

Ford demonstrates Mustang's new Line Lock burnout feature

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

Been saving your pennies for a 2015 Ford Mustang? Put in a few extra shifts or some overtime? Got a great down payment ready? Well, however much you saved for your new pony car, start saving more - you'll need the extra money to spend on tires.
That's because the Mustang will come with a system called Line Lock, which can lock the front brakes electronically, allowing drivers to perform big, dumb, smoky burnouts without moving so much as an inch. It's sort of like launch control, only the average driver might actually use it.
Now, line locks aren't uncommon, particularly in drag racing. Usually, a flip of the switch locks the front brakes. The Mustang, besides offering the system from the factory which is unique in and of itself, looks a bit more involved.

Ford to hack $4k off price of Focus EV amid slow sales

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

Between slow sales and a hefty price drop for its nearest rival, the Ford Focus Electric may be looking at a pretty substantial price cut. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will drop the price of the all-electric by about $4,000 to $35,200 to be more competitive with the Nissan Leaf, which received a big price cut for 2013 down to $28,800.
Ford has already admitted to having low expectations for the car's sales and massive rebates were reported earlier in the year, but there is still no official word from Ford on this matter. The company's consumer site still lists the 2014 model's starting price as $39,200. In addition to the Leaf, the Focus Electric will also have to deal with the lower prices of smaller EVs including the Honda Fit EV, Fiat 500e and the Chevrolet Spark EV.
