Really nice car I purchased. Odometer reads 111,000. It may be accurate, I do not know. I have done many improvements and ready to move on to new projects. Not looking for any trades. Thanks. Great collection edition to you Ford folks out there. Not a perfect frame off car. Older restoration and very well maintained. Great enjoyable driver. I'm very confident you could pick up and drive home. I am in the Birmingham Alabama area can help arrange local area pick up/shipping at buyers expense.

I do not have a lot of history on this great old Ford XL Convertible. I have owned it a couple of years. I bought it from a guy who drove for a while. He purchased it from a widow whose husband restored the car a while ago. I'm pretty sure the car spent it's life in the Maryland area. The vin is 0E61Y214610. the trim tag reads Body 76B Col T Trim 1A Axle K Trans V DSU 17 please excuse any typos.

I've been on many sites and what I can tell it's an original red exterior, black interior car with a V8 390-2V big block. 270 hp 9.5:1 compression... I believe the motor may be the original one and was rebuilt along the way. The restoration to me looks like it was done well, however not a frame off. Old factory a/c works well. Blower fan squeaks at first and goes quiet. The engine was a leaky mess when I got it and this what I did: new steering gear, intake gasket, heater hose, antifreeze, carb kit(it currently has a holly carb), valve cover gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets, exhaust pipe gaskets. It has strait pipe exhaust that has been on for a while. Quite the hot rod sound. I've put $1500 in the engine compartment. Leak and trouble free now. The big block really performs.

The exterior looks really nice. The paint shows little wear. It's a brighter red, not sure if it's ford factory color. The bumper's do have some pitting and cracking up close, 5 foot range and would have to be re- chromed for show quality. I included some close up photos. The rest of the chrome is good. Hide away lights perform perfectly. The trunk does not have a spare tire, it does have jack, etc. The original rim/hubcaps cleaned up great. Very minor pitting, you could fill in black accents where desired. The tires have good tread and are just an off brand. The top is brand new, the old one was ok but the cross bows were bad so it looked like a bubble going down the road. Unfortunately that's one unit, so a costly replacement. I saved back glass window and re used. The top is the high quality cloth type. The cylinders and hydraulic lines have been replaced and it works fantastic. $1500. I bought a convertible boot to put on, but have never used it. Comes with the sale.

The interior really looks great. The seats are older covered, still look good, I repaired/replaced several rips and re padded drivers sagging area. The carpet is new. It has black rubber mat covers. Somewhere down the line a fm/cd player was installed under the dash with a 6 changer in the trunk. Obviously older. All works well. Replaced FM antenna. Radio works well Good speakers flush mounts in the front doors under grill cover and high end tweeters in the pillar post. The original am/fm radio in dash turns on but no sound. The glass running vertically over original radio is cracked. The best thing done to make this car look fantastic was I found a great interior guy who recovered the dash pad. Unique dash that would be nearly impossible to replace. The original was good with typical non pleasing cracks over time. You will have to see to believe how outstanding it looks. All dash board instruments work well. I've replace most of the rubber moulding where I could as needed.

I am putting it in at auction format and letting it run with a reserve. I will end it early for $14,000 firm, let me know.

2014 Ford Fusion order guide reveals new base Hybrid model, equipment changes

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

We've gotten our grubby little digits on the dealer order guide for the as-yet-unreleased 2014 Ford Fusion thanks to an anonymous tipster, and while there isn't much that's unexpected, there are some meaningful equipment changes to report after the rakish sedan's first year on the market.
Mechanically, the big news is, of course, the recently confirmed availability of the 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder paired with a six-speed automatic. The powertrain replaces the 1.6-liter automatic setup of 2013, though if you want a manual transmission, you'll still get the extra .1-liter of displacement.
On the equipment front, there are newly available rear inflatable seatbelts - as seen previously on the Explorer - along with a new heated steering wheel and cooled seat option on Titanium and Titanium Hybrid models (the latter two options will be late availability).

Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.
