King George, Virginia, United States
|
We are selling our 69 Tudor Hardtop Body 65A with bucket seats, 429 Thunderjet, C6 Trans, 9" rear. All numbers match. Car needs restoration. Was painted off white from original (Z) dark blue. Interior is blue. Engine turns freely. Match key set for ignition, trunk and doors. Car is the only two door hard top I've seen. Car has a little rust but is a prime candidate for restoration. We have the original spare tire, jack stand, lug wrench. There is a dent in the driver side rear quarter panel that happen while the car was in storage. Call Doug at 540 604 four five two nine if you have additional questions before bidding.
On Jan-26-14 at 11:53:44 PST, seller added the following information: OK, getting a lot of interest this auction. Here's a little more information we know about this car. The car was owned by a gentlemen from NC who was a life long fire fighter and the only owner from we could find. The gentleman died of cancer and his wife donated the car to be auctioned to raise money for cancer research. While at the auction house a fork lift operator dented the rear drivers side quarter panel. The also dented the gas tank when the were moving the car. Our 15 year old son purchased the car and planned to restore it. He lost interest and move on to 4x4 trucks so the car has been sitting in a covered carport. The things I know for sure that will been do to make the car road worthy would be: gas tank, battery, belts, tune up, tires, brakes at a minimum. Having restored a few cars this is a prime candidate for a restoration. We have additional pictures of the interior if you'd like those send us your email and I'll get those out soonest possible. Hope this helps. On Jan-29-14 at 14:33:48 PST, seller added the following information: OK, thanks to all those who've bid on our car. Due to all the inquires we've taken additional pictures we can send if anyone would like. Just to recap, this is a restoration project... so, it is NOT road worthy and will need to be trailered home. Engine turns over but we have not started the car since our son bought it. Another note is if the auction doesn't reach the reserve than we will seriously consider the highest bid made. Good luck! |

Autoblog Podcast #317:
Ford car-camo artist works his craft on Australia's new Falcon XR8
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Ford is among the kings of concealment when it comes to test cars. On one recent Mustang SVT mule, the automaker went to the extreme of putting baffles over the exhausts to hide how many there were. Sounds like a lot of work, right? In a new video, the Blue Oval has decided to take fans behind the scenes to show them what it takes to camouflage a prototype. In this case the subject was the recently unveiled 2014 Falcon XR8 for Australia.
Ford's prototype build coordinator Down Under has the very appropriate name of Neil Trickey, and it's his job to obfuscate the important bits of test cars to keep them out of spy shooters' camera lenses. Trickey calls his job a "dark art," and he shows off some of the tricks of his trade in the video. It turns out that the fabric we often see on mules is a type of lycra, but his team isn't above getting out a can of spray paint to conceal parts, too.
Scroll down to watch a video about a man who you probably wish could be a little worse at his job.
2013 Ford Explorer Sport
Thu, 04 Apr 2013When one speaks of sporty and fun-to-drive utility vehicles, few would put the Ford Explorer in the same category as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne. Yet, with just a few reservations, I'd toss the new-for-2013 Ford Explorer Sport close to that arena for consideration.
As a recap, the sportiest of Explorers is fitted with Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6, making 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque. Acceleration is brisk (figure about 7 seconds to 60 miles per hour), as power goes to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Contributing to its more athletic demeanor are larger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, chassis upgrades, quicker steering ratio and a more aggressive wheel/tire package. Cosmetically, the Sport is distinguished by its blacked-out lights, black trim and noticeable lack of chrome (with the exception of the door handles).
Ford recently handed me the keys to a Ruby Red Metallic Explorer Sport. Rather than mindlessly drive the big seven-passenger all-wheel drive hauler in soccer mom circles around Los Angeles, I loaded up my family and embarked on a long weekend road trip to Yosemite National Park.
