I am listing this for a good friend and neighbor for his Grandpa's estate. Title is free and signed ready for the new owner. It's not often you will come across such a great example of well kept American machinery. Keeping this car in the family since new has definitely helped. The pride of ownership shows through being garage kept her entire life along with all of the documents, shop manuals, and extras gathered through the years. Over the past 10 years, she was only brought out for dates and for an occasional Sunday drive. The interior and exterior are said to be all original less a few areas of touch up paint. The body is definitely above average and only shows a couple very small areas through at the bottoms of the fender. You will also notice a small blemish on the side of the drivers seat seen in the photos. The odometer reads accurately 88K although sold exempt from miles per Utah requirements after a vehicle is 10 years old. This is a factory AC car although at the least it will need to be charged, but not diagnosed. All gauges, lights, power windows, etc are in good working order. It will leave a drip or 2 of either transmission or power-steering fluid after a good drive. I haven't inspected or had the time to take it in. The car has been driven every week until the day of this listing. I feel confident this could be driven a great distance or easily shipped to your door. Clean and clear title ready to sign over. Please view all of the pictures and be ready to buy when you click. I can help you with shipping by meeting with your driver or using one of my resources. California or Arizona are very easy places for me to ship to, typically 300 or so. I'm just 20 min away from Salt Lake City International and can pick you up there. UShip has also been a great resource for shipping and can give you an idea as well, just click on the shipping tab on the listing to get a quick (typically higher than you can get) estimate. I am not a dealer, just a big fan of anything with a motor. I buy and sell a few bikes and cars a year and also help my friends list on ebay. I've sold hundreds of bikes and cars over the years and assure a smooth transaction. |

Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.
2014 Ford Cobra Jet announced with new colors, parachute mount
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Ford's drag-strip-ready Mustang Cobra Jet is back for 2014, and it's sporting a few changes to make it even better - both in competition and while sitting still. Rolling off the assembly line ready for duty in the NHRA Stock or Super Stock classes, production of the 2014 Cobra Jet is limited to just 50 units.
Racing upgrades for 2014 include the addition of a new three-speed transmission and a parachute mount, and while these will make the car better in the quarter mile, the Cobra Jet's new colors will make it look better tearing down the track. Buyers can now get their racecars painted up in Gotta Have-It Green or a custom, Cobra Jet-exclusive matte black hue. Ford and Ford Racing have already teamed up to make this an incredible factory drag racer with a full rollcage, massive Hoosier slicks, a race-tuned suspension setup and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. Now, if only wheelie bars came standard...
Unlike the confusing third-party ordering system announced for the COPO Camaro, all you need to snatch up a 2014 Cobra Jet is $97,990 and good timing (as the cars will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis). Ordering opens up next month with production commencing in July. Check out the press release below.
How Ford secretly used customers to test its aluminum F-150 [w/video]
Fri, 30 May 2014Automakers getting clever about disguising development vehicles isn't anything new. Between mules wearing the sheetmetal of other cars and prototypes decked out in as much camouflage as is practical, automakers know how to make it very difficult for the general public to get an exact idea of what kind of vehicle is in development. Ford, though, is rapidly becoming the master.
We knew that the Blue Oval originally tested the durability of the aluminum construction being used for the 2015 F-150 by building an all-aluminum 2014 truck and entering it in the Baja 1000 off-road race. That's no longer a secret. What we didn't know, though, is that the aluminum development dates back to before even that, and that some of the people in question had no idea what it was they were working with.
Ford says this is the first time prototypes have ever been handed over to the public.
