This project is WELL on it's way (as you can see by the photos) to becoming a nice ride once again.

The body has only a few places that need to be worked out. I can't say how fast or slow it will take to knock it all out, but I estimate between one to five full days depending on what level restoration you want. The only rust out is the driver floor board. New sheet metal is included with the project for that repair.

The exterior aluminum trim pieces have a few dings but a repairable.

Just about the only gear left to buy to complete the interior is the seat covers, but if you're going to go that route, you could use new seat cushions. I don't have the package tray or the optional dash-pad either. Included is just about all the new rubber (grommets, door seals, window seals, bumpers, etc.), if there are any missing, it isn't much. The carpet is new and rolled up, headliner is the cream crater. door panels are still in the plastic, opened, but still there. I sprang for the higher quality window felt. There is also wind lace, but I am not 100% sure it was the original color for the Palomino interior.

There is a new gas tank not installed yet. The wheels are good but could use a clean-up. The tires have held air for over a year sitting inside. I drove it up to the building but it coughed up and died. Turns out the carburetor that was on it was junk and rigged up. I bought the original model carb that happened to be in the original box. I have the right carb spacer. It was nasty, so I cleaned, glass blasted it and honed it a little. I cleaned the fouled platinum plugs and re-installed them (have a set of Iridium plugs NIB). The Edelbrock cleaner cover is blank finned, it doesn't have the Edelbrock logo written across it. If you want to use it on the carb, you'll need an adapter, the inside diameter of the cover is too large for the OD on the carb. The filter is a K&N. The plug wires installed are new, as is the regulator. I also have a new distributor cap installed. The Pertronix Ignitor kit is still in the box. The valve cover was lightly blasted and repainted with high temp red crackle paint.

There is a wolf whistle under the hood. Again, all the hood rubber is included. As far as the old parts, there is a bunch of them, in fact most everything you need is there except a good windshield, the Ford tail letters, and the chrome spears.

Most of the receipts are included. Which total around $1800. There are several parts included that there is no receipt for. The paperwork to file for a bonded title is included. I have owned the car for about two years now, the previous owner had the car for about the same length. The information for the previous owner to that is in the paperwork I have from the State of Texas. I will even forward the correspondence I have to a title company that I was going to use.

That covers most of it.

Please ask any questions and post any concerns you have before the end of the sale.

Thank you kindly.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

Next-gen Ford Taurus spotted in China

Fri, Jan 2 2015

We're getting our first look at the next-generation Ford Taurus thanks to some spy shooters in China. While the camouflage and angle of the photo keep changes to the body a secret, there's no hiding the massive hexagonal, chrome grille up front. It lends a look very similar to the Fusion. Beyond the eye-grabbing grille, the headlights are reshaped, but are still quite squinty. There's also a new lower air dam that runs the width of the front with LEDs at the top corners. The hexagonal grille fits the design of the Fusion well, but this single image makes it look a little too big and disproportionate for the fullsize Ford sedan. Maybe the integration works better from a different angle, though. The next-gen Taurus is rumored debut for the 2016 model year and reportedly rides on a stretched and widened version of the Fusion's platform. Ford's big goal for the new model is allegedly to shed as many pounds from the scales as possible. The sedan also may get a nine-speed automatic to boost fuel economy. The engine range is still a mystery, but EcoBoost options are practically a sure thing, possibly even making up the whole model lineup.

MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms

Mon, 17 Jun 2013

Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.
