AN ALL MATCHING NUMBER CAR!!!

NEW PAINT

NEW UPOLSTRY

This 49 year old lady I consider to be 99.9% done and ready to go. I've tried to keep her as original as she was new. The upholstery is five star. The paint is at least a four &3/4 star. The chrome on this car is all original & is in great condition.

When I bought this car from a 97 year old man it'd been sitting in his garage for ten or more years. I had to pull the gas tank and flush it and the fuel lines. New fuel pump and filters. All of the suspension rubber was rotten. But being a Southern Nevada car, corrosion was not an issue. I pulled the motor reconditioned the heads and changed the freeze plugs (as one was leaking). I pulled the oil pan and plastic gauged the main and rod bearings and found all within tolerance. I've rebuilt the power steering pump & the power brake booster. I pulled the radiator, had it pressure tested, flushed and painted. All new hoses, belts & tune up. Rebuilt starter & bendix. New tires, Hankooks P215-75R15 (white walls), new brakes front and rear. All new front suspension: ball joints, tie rod ends, all new rubber bushings in the control arms, and I put new front coil springs in her as well.

I pulled the transmission pan and found all to be clean and operational. I did however replace the transmission mount and the U-joints. I put new rubber bushings in the rear leaf springs but I did not replace the springs themselves as the car seems to sit good. I rebuilt the original autolite carburetor (three times) and I just could not get her to behave herself, so I put on an Holley 600 cfm and it seemed to straighten her out.

The original carb will come with the car as may be someone better than me can get it to run properly.

I also bought a radio for her, it's a 240 watt AM FM, with usb player, RCA outputs, DVD, and satellite. As you can see in the photos, it is still in the box and brand new It's got the T-bird emblem on the face & It's supposed to slip right in. (see pics) I did not install the sound because as now this old lady is as original as I can make her. Besides, my upholstery guy told me that if I started cutting holes into his work, he'd disown me and not do anymore work for me.

Therefore, whoever does decide to buy my fine lady can do the sound themselves.

The exhaust system is the same as when I bought the car, it's in good condition, they's a pair of bullet mufflers under there that sound great. So I just let it be.

Things wrong: the horn does not work, the directional signal return does not work as well (I can't find the proper switch), and there is a clear glass reverse light lense that I cannot find (I have searched everywhere). I also have not found the original air cleaner.

This car is now located in Las Vegas NV. Buyer can trailer her home. If it was me, I'd kinda like to drive her from here to New York City, as she is a blast to drive & quite the head turner!

Ford calling in 28k Edge crossovers over fuel line leak

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).

Shelby boosts production of 575-hp Raptor on early demand

Mon, 08 Apr 2013

Shelby American unveiled its all-new Shelby Raptor at the New York Auto Show last month, saying that it would build just 100 examples of its off-road bad boy, a pickup priced at $17,995 over the cost of the donor Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. But the Las Vegas outfit apparently underestimated just how popular the supercharged 575-horsepower 4x4 would actually be.
Strong early demand reportedly has Shelby singing a whole new tune, as the company is now saying it will build upwards of 500 units annually. While the increased production will likely make for at least 400 more happy owners, those who were on the original short list - possibly speculating on future values - might not be grinning as much. Needless to say, the company has assured everyone that each and every one of the modified Raptors will still be listed in the official Shelby registry.
Keep in mind that Ford isn't sitting idle on its trophy-truck-for-the-street, either. The company will reveal its own 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition this month.
