Sequential turn signals work great.
Vacuum headlights work great. Seats are in amazing condition thanks to seat covers. Very well maintained. Body is near perfect with the exception of minor dings or scratches.
Paint below window line was redone. Paint everywhere else is
original.
Inner fender wells original and in pretty good shape. A little surface rust
has been repaired on the tops of inner fenders.
Trunk area is perfect. Only showing the slightest hint of surface rust on
the underside of back dash. When I say slight I really mean 30 seconds of steel
wool buffing and its gone. I have a ton of pictures of every nook and cranny. I
completely emptied the truck to show its condition. I had a reputable classic
car restoration shop here in Missoula flush the coolant system, replace the
heater core, drain and flush the trans, rear diff, carburetor kit installed and
tuned to perfection. This car is quiet, smooth and ready for a road trip. You
will not be disappointed. I'm unable to locate the original receipt, window
sticker or other dealer documentation for the car. However it still has the
original "Dealer Notice" behind the rear license plate which describes how to
remove the transport tie plates. I have and can assist in coordinating vehicle
transport. This type of shipping cost ranges from $600-$3000 depending on how
many miles and if its enclosed or not. I shipped a vehicle from MT to GA in an
enclosed trailer for $2500 last year. Cost to ship will be up to buyer. |

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
