Greenwood, South Carolina, United States
|
This is a pretty amazing car, and it Does have Electric windows, and Electric locks The color code on this car is pretty rare their were not many made with the chamois glow paint, because it costed about 800$ extra when it was new,the radio works, This Car only has 97,300 original miles, this car has 75000 mile tires, and I have driven under 2000 miles on them, so they have around 95% tread left, and the vinyl top is the original one surpisingly, most of this car is original, and the car has NEVER been to a body shop, it was always kept in good shape. This car is 35 years old, and the shape its in is remarkable to be that old, and a unrestored survivor. The paint is the original paint, and this is a slightly rare original clear coat car, the original clear is peeling in some places (the roof, and trunk lid), the carpet is spotless and the interior looks good, This car runs and drives very nicely, and comfortably, the steering is very easy, and the suspension is amazing, this car floats down the road, because it has the 302 v8, the transmission shifts great, I love this car and I hate to sell it, but I am interested in something else. The carpet is new, and looks great, when the old carpet was being pulled out I noticed that the floor pans were like new in this car, and still had all the factory, so you are getting a very good car. AC is not working at the moment, but if it was working the price would be higher, but I was told it was around a 200$ fix, so its not too bad. ALL LOCKS WORK INCLUDING GLOVE BOX This great car starts on the first try every time, even though I dont drive it much. THIS IS NO RUST BUCKET, IT IS A SOUTHERN CAR, AND ONLY HAS ONE DENT, THATS LESS THAN THE SIZE OF A QUARTER Buyer is responsible for shipping/ or pickup In the picture of the back of the car I was only covering up the tag number for security reasons This is an amazing car and it is worth the money I baby this car and dont drive it a lot, but it can be daily driven, this car is a great car and an amazing driving experience, the buyer will not be dissapointed. |

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes
Sun, 29 Dec 2013Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.
2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost
Wed, 19 Nov 2014
A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.
