Up for auction. I have a 1988 Ford Crown Vic . I purchased this car for my son to use but he travels too far away so he bought a new small car. This car is originally from Florida ( all paperwork included). The owner passed away and the car was sold and brought to Ontario Canada. To the best of my knowledge the car has been in this country for almost 3 years.

The car is in very good condition, it does have 2 very small surface rust spots starting where the tail light cones meet the rear quarter panels but they are very minor, the car also has a very small dent on the rear driverside door ( perhaps a shopping cart ?) the wheel well trim is missing from the rear right side. there are also a small scrape mark on the right front corner which only removed a little paint from the filler panel between the bumper and the front fender. The car has been rust proofed and is evident under the car as well as under the doors and door jams. The paint is very good for the age of the car and the chrome is almost perfect The interior has what appears to be a small mark in the drivers seat ( not a tear )  but otherwise is in very good shape. the car is fully loaded and all power options work well except the a/c , there is no oil leaks around the clutch on the compressor and all lines appear to be in good shape so my guess is the a/c only needs a charge. The car was regularly serviced and has had the following new parts installed.... New Battery, new alternator, new rear U joint, new brake lines , rotors, ignition module and a complete tuneup. The engine is a 5.0 liter EFI V8 and runs like new . The transmission is a 4 speed automatic and shifts very smooth. The car also has a rated 6000 pound towing hitch as well as a transmission cooler. I have no reserves on driving this car anywhere in North America ! It is very smooth on the highway and has lots of power !

Please dont hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions or would like more pictures of the car !

In the province of Ontario you must certify a car to be safe and road worthy as well as an emissions test.... I have had both done and the car passed with flying colors !

Buyer is responsible for shipping the car or pick up from my driveway.

This car is for sale locally and if sold the auction will be cancelled .

Winning bidder must put a 500.00 non refundable deposit via paypal within 48 hours. Full payment is required within 7 days of auction end. 

NOTE .... IF YOUR BID WINS THIS CAR, THIS IS A BINDING AGREEMENT ! ANY BIDDERS WITH LESS THAN A FEEDBACK OF 5 MUST CONTACT ME OR MAY BE REMOVED FROM BIDDING ON THIS CAR !

No Warranty of any kind applys with this car.

Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.

Petrolicious pays visit to tuning sensation the Ringbrothers

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

We caught up with a few projects from Ringbrothers at SEMA this year: a classic Ford Mustang body rendered in carbon fiber, and a De Tomaso Pantera-based concept that made us swoon.
It's with good timing then, that our friends at Petrolicious have uploaded their newest, well-crafted mini-documentary to the expansive airwaves of the Internet. Here, we meet the brothers Ring in person - Mike and Jim - and see how they've lent they're passion for craftsmanship to their business, along with their surname. A 1964 Ford Fairlane dubbed "Afterburner" and a 1965 Mustang called "Producer" star in this show.

1969 Ford Talladega GPT Special is a SEMA showstopper

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.
