This car is an easy restore and excellent investment. It will need tires, repainting, oiling of hinges, etc., eventually a new windshield (recently bb'd by a drive by miscreant but while the pellet struck low and causes no vision problems eventually you will want to replace it. Frame solid, rust almost non-existent with a few bubbles under the paint, mostly along the rockers. Plan on a brake shoe replacement from so long sitting and a new battery. Probably a muffler system too and maybe a new set of keys. But we're going thru piles of keys from former cars over the years and a good chance we'll find the right ones. Mostly plan on tinkering and elbow grease; few parts other then those mentioned and nothing of major expense that we can see or anticipate. Why pay a 'restorer' to send his kids to college when you and a friend or two can do the work yourself in your own garage. Even if you put $2,000 in it including paint, windshield, etc., put your pencil to paper look at the value you'll have compared to the resale value! At least $10,000+ on the current market. Car is complete except one wheel cover is missing. Has original 12-volt electric from the factory. Standard a/m radio and heating. No major dings or scratches. Windows rull up and down easily. Interior shows no major wear. Glass has standard factory tints. Alll lguages worked fine when last driven. No accidents. The week before I purchased it it had been driven in cross country from the west coast area U.S. to Michigan where it is now. Last started when driven into storage. Radiator kept full with anti-freeze and no leaking. Keep that in mind when you restart her. There is a proper way to do that which is safe and easy, costs about $10 and takes about 3-4 days. But the payback is a sound engine with no damage or smoking. Have used this proceedure many times on cars, trucks, farm tractors and other infrequently used motors over the last 40+ years and it has never once failed. Selling low because of failing eyesight to the point where I don't drive regular anymore except on very bright days and then only in familiar areas. Tempus Fugit. Being sold as-is, where-is with no warranties but confidence that what I am telling you here about his car is how it is. Sale is final. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required received via USPS money order within five days of sale. Balance also by USPS money order to be forwarded within 10 days of sale and before car is removed. You can ask any additional questions which will receive a quick reply. Recommend and invite you to come and examine the car personally or send your own mechanic or friend in the area to look the car over for you including any additional pictures The CV is currently in a locked storage area with a low monthly rental. We will cover the storage rate for the balance of the month (12th day) after which you can remove the car or leave it there at the same low rate while you make your hauling arrangements. Comes with a clear Michigan title. Buyer will be responsible for all loading/hauling expenses and any insurances you might want. .

NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.
Exceptionally rare '65 Ford GT40 Roadster prototype up for auction
Sat, 14 Jun 2014Think of mid-engined supercars and your mind is bound to gravitate towards Europe, but the United States has been known to make a handful from time to time - exceptional vehicles from the likes of Vector, SSC, Mosler, Hennessey, and Saleen. But long before any of those came around, Ford famously became obsessed with beating Ferrari at its own game, leading to the development of the iconic GT40.
The story is well known, sending Ford to the checkered flag at Le Mans four times in a row in the late 1960s. Ford and Shelby also built over 100 for public consumption, but just four of them were roadsters. Of those only one remains in original condition, and now that exceedingly rare example going up for auction.
Consigned to RM Auctions for its mid-August sale during Pebble Beach weekend in Monterey, California, this 1965 model is the first GT40 Roadster built. It was used as a development and demonstration vehicle for Ford and Shelby. Carroll Shelby himself drove Henry Ford II in this very car during one of many test and demo events, this time held for Ford's board of directors in Los Angeles.
Ford evaluating new Fiesta RS?
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Word coming in from across the pond has it that Ford is working on developing the business case to create a new Fiesta RS. The development is encouraged by the extremely positive reception the existing Fiesta ST has garnered to date, and the emergence of the above-pictured Fiesta RS WRC rally car, but it'll take more than goodwill to make a more extreme version a reality.
According to Auto Express, a new roadgoing Fiesta RS would almost certainly be based closely on the ST version, albeit with some vital differences. Its 1.6-liter turbo four would be increased from 180 horsepower to somewhere around 230 hp, and that powertrain would be accompanied by lightweight alloys inside blistered wheel arches, a stripped-out interior and possibly lightweight bodywork.
The vehicle's approval would reportedly require a strong business case in Europe, and not just in the UK where Ford hot hatches traditionally enjoy a strong following. It's unclear whether the Fiesta RS would potentially make the transatlantic voyage to American showrooms, but between it and the larger Focus RS, hopefully the Blue Oval wouldn't leave its home market out of the action altogether.
