This 2 door sedan has less than 1,000 true miles on it. It is equipped with a 292 cu. in. V8, Automatic Trans., Power Steering and AC. ( AC needs recharged).
There is no rust in this body and only a couple small dings down low on the Quarter panels. Minor damage to the stainless trim on the drivers side rear quarter.
This car was bought new by a man in Chicago and shortly after he bought a Caddy and this Ford was parked under a car port for about 10 years before being put into storage.
When I purchased it there was only 827 miles it. When I started detailing it, after years in storage, I discovered that it had several mechanical problems that may have led to it being parked. The damper pulley was broken when engine was installed so the power steering belt would not stay in place. The right rear brake was assembled wrong and it is a wonder he did not loose his brakes. The heater blower motor was not grounded so it would not blow air. The heat control cable was hooked to the outside fresh air vent so there was never any heat on a cold Chicago January. You hear stories about cars being built on a Friday afternoon or a Monday morning and this car was one of those.
The paint on the hood, top and trunk has blemishes from the smog and acid air in Chicago. The paint on the sides is nice and shinny
The interior is nearly perfect and done in Silver, Gray and black. The floors are factory rubber and has the original mat.
This beauty is a perfect candidate for a museum or you can take your whole family on a summer cruise if you so choose.
I do not have any paper documentation to prove that is what I am saying it is, but I have restored enough Fords in my days to have the knowledge to know an original car and this is one. My buy it now price is more than fair so do not waste my time with a low ball offer.
Come and inspect it and you will fall in love with it.

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars
Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
Ford talking unibody Ranger replacement
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Now here's some welcome news. Car and Driver reports Ford is seriously mulling a replacement for the recently deceased Ranger, but the successor to the compact pickup's throne may not look anything like what we've seen from the nameplate in the past.
While speaking at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Doug Scott, marketing manager for Ford Trucks, said there's still a market for a smaller pickup, but that buyers expect to see a larger differentiation between the smaller utility vehicles and their full size counterparts in price, capability and fuel economy.
According to Scott, that means a vehicle with a payload capacity of around 1,000 pounds paired with a towing capacity of 3,000 pounds and "a dramatic reduction in fuel consumption." But the biggest piece of that recipe is the price tag, and Scott says to keep the MSRP far enough away from the already cheap F-150, the answer could come in the form of a unibody design. Scott says target customers in this market don't care whether the truck has a traditional frame or not, so long as it's tough enough to do the job and has the capability they need.
