I’ll be right up front about this listing; Sadly this “Grocery Getter” probably isn’t worth much for anything other than a parts car. It s a complete 1959 Ford Country Sedan that was converted into a “Surf Wagon” back in the 70’s and then parked under a pine tree closed up tight where it sat untouched for over 30 plus years. The floor pans are rotted through. the Interior has allot of condensation rust from being sealed up, upholstery is trash. Well except maybe the back seat which is still wrapped in a dealer installed plastic cover. You can pretty much tell the overall abused/neglected condition of this poor old “Long Roof” in the pics, which are current.
I haven’t tried to start it (332 V8, w/automatic), the tires hold air for about five minutes, no brakes. I bought this station wagon for the 9inch rear end which I had rebuilt and exchanged it with the overhauled 8 inch out of my 56 Fairlane resto rod. This wagon has a good 56 Ford sedan rear end under it currently, other than that it hasn’t been touched in 30 plus years.
I don’t want to invest allot of time answering questions about this car. I’m also not interested in parting it out. No B.S., if it doesn’t sell I’ll have it picked up for scrap. However if you are seriously interested and in need of a parts car, I’ll do my best to help with any questions or take specific pictures as I’d hate to see this poor ‘ol wagon crushed. Yes, I have the title, but I won’t surrender it until you physically remove the car, as I don’t want the car abandon here and me without a title to have it hauled off. And really, it’s probably not worth fetching unless your within a few hundred miles of Redmond Oregon, it will have to be picked up on site and wenched onto your trailer. In it’s current shape it can’t really be moved towed anyplace for shipment. 10 percent deposit withing 48 hours, balance due when car is picked up within 30 days of end of auction (Cash or Cashier check)

Mustang GT350 reveal coming Nov 17?
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Ford looks to have something really big planned for the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Blue Oval has released the first of five teaser videos on the brand's performance heritage, and aside from some great images of racers over the years, the video includes a series of teaser images, the last of which points to November 17, 2014.
That's the day before press days open in LA, and considering the propensity of global automakers to plan lavish debuts the night before a major international auto show, it's a virtual certainty that Ford will be showing off some sort of special vehicle.
That'd be news in and of itself, but based on the images shown in Ford's teaser video - which include an Alcantara steering wheel, a "Powered by Ford" valve cover, aluminum pedals, sticky tires, a big, round exhaust tip, a honeycomb grille and a serious set of wheels - it seems very likely that Ford will be showing something performance oriented.
Ford reveals automated Fusion Hybrid
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Autonomous cars may still be in their infancy, but more and more big names in the auto industry are diving in head first. Nissan is already making strides with a semi-autonomous Leaf EV and General Motors is planning to offer semi-autonomous tech by 2020. And then there's Google, doing its thing with a fleet of Toyota Prius. Now, Ford is showing off its latest automated effort, a driverless Fusion Hybrid.
Partnering with the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and State Farm Insurance, the project is part of Ford's Blueprint for Mobility, the company's plan for transportation beyond 2025. "The Ford Fusion Hybrid automated vehicle represents a vital step toward our vision for the future of mobility," Chairman Bill Ford said. "We see a future of connected cars that communicate with each other and the world around them to make driving safer, ease traffic congestion and sustain the environment."
The automated Fusion features four LiDAR infrared sensors that scan the road 2.5 million times every second, using a principle similar to the echolocation used by dolphins or bats. Using the infrared light emitted by the LiDAR, the car can draw a picture of everything within 200 feet to create a map of its surroundings. According to Ford, the sensors are able to tell the difference between a paper bag and a small animal from a football field away.
2015 Ford Focus ST gets sleeker style, improved dynamics
Thu, 26 Jun 2014The Brits don't really have a major auto show these days. Not in a conventional sense, anyway, with stationary vehicles under floodlights in a closed exposition space. What they do have, you could argue, is much better: the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the public can view the latest machinery not only under an open sky, but in motion as well, speeding up Lord March's front lawn. And this year, British automakers are rolling in with some very enticing new metal.
In the past few days alone we've confirmed the McLaren 650S GT3 and MSO, Jaguar F-Type Project 7, Range Rover Sport SVR and Ariel Ace will all be revealed for the first time at Goodwood this weekend. Ford isn't, strictly speaking, a British automaker, but for all its history in the UK, it might as well. So it's chosen Goodwood as the site to unveil its refreshed Focus ST.
The upgraded Blue Oval hot hatch still packs a 2.0-liter turbo four with 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque driving through a six-speed manual to the front wheels, so we're not expecting much change in measurable performance. But Ford has given the new Focus ST a new front suspension setup and a new electric power-assisted steering rack that combine to promise improved handling.
