1955 Ford Country Sedan. This has a bit of a rad rod look on the mostly original exterior. Lowered in the front with modern disc brakes and 2 chamber master cylinder (not power). Explorer mag wheels. Had to list "OEM" options in the listing, but real specs - Mild 302 with aluminum intake and new 600 Holley. 1980's style SROD 4 speed overdrive floor shift. 9" rear end. All new 12v harness, bulbs, etc. heating system redone (original). All correct dash. Extra parts included - Radio, clock, trim, misc.  Originally a V-8 car, 3 on the tree.

Most everything about this car is stock or stock appearance. Slight lowering gives the car a great look. Smooth riding and drives easy. Overdrive allows for highway driving at very comfortable revs. All around great ride that really turns heads. Interior side panels need to be redone. Modern radio head unit installed with bluetooth hidden under seat with custom steering wheel type controls to the One-Year-Only round dash radio (must experience, cool feature done myself - details included with car). Extra original Radio included. Extra clock included.  Has a few things that need attention but it's a driving project car. You can get in and drive it home. Everyone stops to look!

Changing interests and just too many projects puts this one for sale.  Hate to sell - It's a Fun Car!  For Sale locally, I reserve the right to end the listing at any time.  Email with any questions or to talk on the phone.  Clear title, running and driving, Sold AS IS.

*********************  Updates  *********************
A few people have obviously asked about rust, underneath, engine bay, Etc.  Email me and I can send more pictures of the car or parts of it.  Additional info:
- Small gas leak near the tank needs to be tended too.  It's a brand new tank, I think it is the line, but unconfirmed.  Time permitting will try to fix.
- Rear passenger floors have glass cloth repairs on the lowest portions of the floors.  They feel solid under foot, but would want attention at some point.
- Front floors have had some small spot repairs.  Again, not soft under foot anywhere.
- Front drivers rocker has 2 small holes, but nothing else through any where.  Appear pretty solid.
- Lower tailgate has some rust and was partially repaired.
- This car was Pennsylvania State inspected expiring 7/13 when I got it in late 2012.  I put antiques on it which don't require inspection so it wasn't reinspected.
- The speedo gear in the (modern) trans is loose on the shaft so the speedo isn't currently working.  You have to take off the tailshaft housing to fix so while apart I was going to rebuild the transmission.  I never got to taking it out and working on it, but I did get a new full transmission rebuild kit with bearings and syncros which is included with the car.
- There is also a NEW set of air shocks for the rear end purchased a few months ago, but never installed included.

Any other questions, just let me know.  Thanks!

Suzuki recalling 184k GM-built models for fire risk

Fri, 23 May 2014

Suzuki is recalling 184,244 total units of the 2004-2008 Forenza (pictured above) and 2005-2008 Reno manufactured under contract by Daewoo, now General Motors Korea, between September 1, 2003, through July 30, 2008, for a risk of fire. The exact split in terms of number of each model isn't available yet.
In the vehicles, the heat generated in the headlight switch or daytime running light module could cause the parts to melt and cause a fire. If this sounds somewhat familiar, it's the same reason that 218,000 units of the 2004-2008 Chevrolet Aveo are being recalled. According to General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler: "It's the same issue."
Adler explained that as the contracted manufacturer, GM is responsible for finding a remedy to this problem and providing it to Suzuki. It's a similar situation as Toyota recalling the Matrix and giving the automaker the repair parts to fix the Pontiac Vibe, which shares the platform.

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.

Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency

Sun, 25 May 2014

Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.
