THIS LOOKS LIKE THE CAR I DROVE IN HIGH SCHOOL. "MY BOYFRIEND" WRECKED THE ORIGINAL. I BOUGHT THIS ONE IN 2008 TO CELEBRATE 10 YEARS AS A CANCER SURVIVOR. NOW I FIND MYSELF WIDOWED AND ON SOCIAL SECURITY----SO....
THE COLOR IS CALLED PEACOCK BLUE AND THE PAINT IS IN GREAT SHAPE, AS THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED AND COVERED SINCE IT WAS PAINTED. THE BACK SEAT HAS THE ORIGINAL UPHHOLSTERY AND IS IN GOOD SHAPE. THE FRONT BUCKET SEATS WERE REUPHOLSTERED WITH THE ORIGINAL FACTORY TYPE COVERS. SHE HAS A NEW DASHBOARD PAD AND COVER, A NEW TOP AND A NEW BOOT. THE CARPET IS ORIGINAL . THE FRONT FLOOR MATS ARE CUSTOM MADE. THE GAS GAUGE "BOUNCES" AROUND SO I ALWAYS FILL HER UP WHEN I GET IN (IT'S A GIRL THING). THE SPEEDOMETER WOBBLES OVER 60 MPH. THE SUN VISOR BRACKET ON THE SHOTGUN SIDE BROKE THE LAST TIME I DROVE IT. I'LL TRY TO FIND A REPLACEMENT AND FIX IT.
THE HEATER WORKS GOOD BUT SINCE MY GOAL WAS TO RESTORE HER TO AS NEAR ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE THERE IS NO AC. THE ORIGINAL AM RADIO IS INCLUDED BUT I'VE NEVER TRIED IT. THE ONE IN THE CAR IS AN AFTER MARKET BUT IT DOESN'T PICK UP MANY STATIONS. THE CLOCK WAS REPLACED BUT IT IS CURRENTLY 'RESTING' AND HASN'T BEEN DIAGNOSED YET. ALL OF THE WINDOWS OPERATE EXACTLY AS THEY DID 50 YEARS AGO WITH KNOBS AND GOOD BICEPS. IT PASSED TEXAS INSPECTION IN NOVEMBER 2012 SO ALL OF THE TURN SIGNALS AND LIGHTS WORK.
THE WHITEWALL TIRES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE AND THE WHITEWALL SPARE HAS NEVER BEEN ON THE GROUND. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL HUBCAPS BUT THE ONES ON IT ARE WHAT WE CALLED 'SPOKES'. MOST OF THE CHROME IS ORIGINAL AND LOOKS GREAT. TWO PIECES WERE REPLACED WHEN THE CAR WAS PAINTED. SOME OF THE CHROME HAS VERY MINOR DENTS AND SCRATCHES.
NOW FOR THE MAN STUFF: IT HAS A 390 CID WITH APPROX. 95,000 ORIGINAL MILES AND A FORD 4 BARREL CARBURETOR AND AN ELECTRONIC POINTLESS IGNITION. THE SPARK PLUG WIRES, SPARK PLUGS, DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND VALVE COVER GASKETS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. SHE HAS POWER STEERING BUT NOT POWER BRAKES. SHE HAS DUAL EXHAUST WITH GLAS-PAC TYPE MUFFLERS. IT ALSO HAS A SERVICE MANUAL AND A WIRING SCHEMATIC INCLUDED. IT HAS THE OLD TYPE BUMPER JACK.
THE CAR DRIVES GOOD---USING THE STANDARDS OF 50 YEARS AGO. SHE HAS SURVIVED IN MUCH BETTER SHAPE THAN MOST FOLKS OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER HER. IT BREAKS MY HEART TO LET HER GO SO PLEASE: TO A GOOD HOME. I'M SURE THERE ARE THINGS I FORGOT SO PLEASE EMAIL QUESTIONS. WE INVESTED 35K INTO HER BUT ALL REASONABLE OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED. ...
NOW THIS IS THE PART I'M 'SUPPOSED' TO PUT: ALL BIDDERS WITH LESS THAN 10 FEEDBACKS NEED TO ASK BEFORE BIDDING OR THE BID MIGHT BE CANCELLED. THE SUCCESSFUL HIGH BIDDER WILL SUBMIT $1000 - NON REFUNDABLE - PAYMENT DEPOSIT WITH PAYPAL WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION TO SECURE THE VEHICLE. FINAL PAYMENT WILL BE U.S.BANK CHECK, BANK WIRE TRANSFER OR CASH DUE WITHIN 7 DAYS OF CLOSE OF AUCTION. ITS THE BUYERS OBLIGATION TO ARRANGE FOR SHIPPING. ALL FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS MUST BE COMPLETE BEFORE DELIVERY OF VEHICLE. FINAL PAYMENT THROUGH PAYPAL IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Ford Transit customs ready to work for SEMA
Fri, 31 Oct 2014Ford's booth at the SEMA Show this year looks to have two, big themes. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen takes on the 2015 Mustang to the event, and it's now also announcing five customized versions on the 2015 Transit to join the modded pony cars. Each of the vans shows off a different use for the spacious commercial vehicle, from plush luxury to offroad ruggedness.
You probably don't think of the Transit as hitting the trails, but that's just what the take on the design from the Vegas Off-Road Experience (pictured above) is for. The company gives people the opportunity to drive a desert race truck, and this custom is meant to drive them to events. It should be able to take on the terrain a little better with off-road wheels and tires and fender flares, but inside passengers get serious luxury thanks to a 60-inch LED TV and video game systems.
Alternatively the blazing red Designed Travel Transit (right) is all about long road trips. The interior features four captain's chairs with heating, cooling and massage functions, and there's a 4K 50-inch TV to watch. For a touch of added class, the floor is made from hickory.
