This is a true survivor car with only 57,745 miles believed to be actual. The car runs and drives fantastic and the ride is incredible.

Body:

This is a 4-door Hardtop (see pics). The body is in excellent condition with no signs of rust in any areas including the floor.

There are no signs of any previous rust repair but the front fenders and hood appear to have been repainted some time ago.

There are minor dings and chips consistent with the age but by no means major. There is one area of the roof that the original paint has been partially rubbed through (see pics)

Interior:

The interior is extremely nice with no tears in the seats or headliner. The door panels are in excellent condition as is the

carpet. The front seat is 6-way power and the padding is firm. All interior lights work including the door panel lighting. The

dash pad has one crack in the center and an area in the speaker grill that is cracked. These cracks are repairable. The rest of

the dash is in excellent condition. The steering wheel is clear and has minor separation in a couple of areas. The trunk carpet

is in place and is in good condition.

Drivetrain:

The 390 cubic inch engine runs excellent and achieves nearly 19 mpg based mileage taken on two trips this summer. The automatic

transmission has been rebuilt and it shifts smoothly through the gears. The exhaust system is in good condition and there are

no major leaks from the engine or transmission. The car goes down the road straight and the brakes are excellent. The car rides

on (4) new radials and the shocks have recently been replaced with new.

This car was driven to a show in Springfield MO this last spring as well as to Sioux Falls South Dakota in the heat of the summer. It performed flawlessly on both trips and it is truly a pleasure to drive. I am selling to make room for more toys. Just as I was when I was young, I play with toys for awhile then move on to a new ones. It would be shame not to have someone driving and enjoying this vehicle.

Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang appears at EAA Oshkosh

Sat, 26 Jul 2014

Ford is back at the Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, WI, on July 31 auctioning off its seventh Mustang for charity, and this is one seriously mean looking 2015 'Stang. All of the money from the sale goes to give free introductory flights to young people to get them interested in aviation.
We recently saw this latest EAA Mustang as a sketch. However, it looks a whole lot more menacing in person. Dubbed the Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang, it takes liberal inspiration from Lockheed Martin's latest fighter jet, and the customization makes the pony car look ready for a role in Top Gun.
On the outside, the special Mustang wears titanium-color paint that's offset by a black and yellow stripe running from hood to rear. Out back things get really wild with a mix of bright yellow and black that flows diagonally all the way to the rear spoiler. The design is based on the livery of early production F-35s. If the rousing color scheme isn't enough to get you interested, the car also gets a carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser, lowered suspension and a set of custom 21-inch wheels with yellow brake calipers.

Ford files trademark application for 'Model E'

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

In early December, Ford filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Model E." Historically, Ford never produced a Model E, and while automakers are known to file for trademarks they never use, some have wondered if the application might be used for a concept car.
Based on other recent events, though, it could be a legal move. In 2000 Ford sued an online start-up called Model E over the similarity of that name to Ford's industry-shaping Model T, but the judge dismissed the case citing lack of proper grounds. In August 2013, Tesla applied for trademark registration for Model E, and at the time, Ford said it would review the application. Tesla actually made two applications for Model E, one for automobiles and structural parts therefore, the other for "providing maintenance and repair services for automobiles," and there are plenty of theories about what the name could be applied to.
The Published for Opposition date for Tesla's applications is December 31, 2013, after which anyone who thinks they'd be harmed by Tesla being granted the trademark gets 30 days to register their issues. This is just speculation, but Ford's application - which was filed for automobiles only - might be about protecting what it sees as unwelcome encroachment on the name Model T, protection it wasn't able to enforce before when the stakes were only online and much smaller.

Ford will keep Escape and MKC plant open an extra week to meet demand

Thu, Jun 8 2017

Crossovers keep selling like popular pastries, and for Ford, that means it needs to keep production going. The company announced that, rather than the usual two-week shutdown, its Louisville, Ky., assembly plant will be open for one of those weeks. The plant builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC, which Ford reports have had record sales. According to Ford, Escape sales through May are up 3 percent, and MKC sales are up 10 percent compared with last year. In total, the Escape has sold about 130,000 units through May, and the MKC has sold around 11,000. Keeping the Louisville plant open will allow the company to build an additional 8,500 vehicles. Ford stated that all other assembly plants will continue with the two-week shutdown as scheduled.
