This is a great little car and the winner of the auction will be very happy.  I am selling it for a friend that is very ill, and won't be driving any time soon.  He bought it brand new here in Los Angeles, and has loved and taken care of it since.  NO stories or excuses, just a really nice car.  It looks nice, and drives tight and right.  Amazing for 150K miles.  Feels more like 80K miles.  It's rated at 33 mpg, I can tell because the original window sticker is still in the car.  MSRP was $14,450.  It has the optional power group that gives power windows, alarm, power locks and power mirrors.  It also has the premium group that gives 16" wheels, courtesy lighting,  cruise control, tilt wheel and front seat armrest.  The owners manual is in the glove box.
Low BlueBook is $2150 and Retail BlueBook is $3650.   On a car lot, it would sell for $3995 easily.   It should auction for just under retail book in this market and gas prices.  No Reserve, so we will let the market set the price.
I just drove the car over 50 miles and it ran great.  He just had several things serviced in the last 4 months for over $1000.  I think it was a new clutch and other items.  The clutch feels perfect.  I will add the list of services, when I can reach the owner in the hospital.  A/C blows cold, oil is clean and everything I tried worked properly.  The tires are about 50-60% remaining and wearing evenly.  It just passed a smog check, and I have the certificate for you.  The California registration is good until April 2014.
There are a few small scrapes on the rear bumper (see pictures), and very little sand damage to the front bumper and hood.  Pretty minor for the miles I think.  I just had the car detailed, so it's ready to drive away, or give as a gift to someone special.
Please follow my deposit instructions within 48 hours, and pick the car up within 7 days.  Failure to follow these and I will file for resolution.  I like the auction process, so please don't ask me to end it early for you.  Please don't bid if you are not going to buy the car.
My guarantee:  If you don't like the car after winning the auction, making the deposit, and driving it, you don't have to buy it, but you do lose your $250 deposit.  I never try to force a sale.  I have the car available in Thousand Oaks if you want to check it out before bidding.  You can see it at 7 Duesenberg Dr., Thousand Oaks, CA.  Email me for an appointment. Yes, I am a car dealer, but this is just a private party sale for a friend in need.  Paperwork will be from him to you.  Clear title in hand.

Exceptionally rare '65 Ford GT40 Roadster prototype up for auction

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Think 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 announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.

Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.
