 This is a factory "A" Code 4 Speed GT car in Poppy Red. VIN # 5F07A692233 is clearly on the drivers side shock tower (see picture). The VIN plate is missing on the dash and drivers side door. It has a clear Delaware title under the previous owners name which I will be getting put in to my name sometime this week. The car was last tagged in 02 and has sat since then. We drained the gas tank,had the Holley single pump professionally rebuilt locally by Stinger Engines,new Autolite plugs installed,changed the oil and filter and put a new fuel filter in(canister type). It runs a little rough before it warms up but idles smoothly once warm.I never adjusted the points or put a dwell meter on it,just set the timing.It does not knock or smoke. The engine is stock with the exception it has a Holley 600 CFM Single pumper Carburetor with a low rise old school aluminum intake. There is also a Lakewood blow proof bell housing with stock cast iron exhaust manifolds and dual exhaust with the trumpets coming out the back.As far as I know the engine has never been apart and it still has the 65 style canister type fuel filter.The exhaust is quiet and there are no tapping lifters .The clutch has some travel before releasing but it is not slipping or chattering.It has the factory T Handle shifter and will drive down the road. It stops and steers and has the factory Kelsey Hayes 4 piston brakes up front. The car is very solid along with the frame rails and floors,shock towers,quarter panels both inside and out and the trunk floor. If you have restored one you know this is where the problem areas are. The right front fender is bubbled on the lower end (see picture) and should be replaced.There is also some surface rust under the rear window molding (see picture). The car looks great from 20 feet away, although it does need waxed and could use a paint job. There is a big scrape on the drivers side top fender and hood and part of the cowl panel where something must of fell on it (not dented). The wheels are rusty from sitting,I had to repair one flat tire and amazingly it had a original center cap not a repo. There is an extra styled steel wheel with tire in excellent condition in the trunk. Missing jack and hold down. The tires do hold air but have some cracking from age and should be replaced along with the wheels. The odometer reads 91,509 which I believe to be original since the title I had when last registered on 6/8/02 had 87,283 on it.The interior will need the carpet replaced since it is faded and torn. Also the drivers seat needs recovered.It has the deluxe wood grain 140 MPH speedometer and wood grain glove box. Standard seats and door panels with deluxe door handles.Aftermarket steering wheel (I have the original black wheel with horn ring included) and power steering.It has aftermarket seat belts and the back deck panel just below the rear window is cut and has aftermarket 6X9 speakers in it. There is a aftermarket Mustang cassette radio in it with some wires hanging from under the dash from the radio. I also have the original AM Radio included. Has the original Fog light switch under the dash (pictured). Will need some wiring work turn signals not working as well as some other things. This would be a very easy restoration on a very desireable solid car which is hard to find. Would make a great father son project. Once again this is a car that needs restored and needs mostly cosmetics such as outside door handles, gas cap, back up lamps that have pitting and are a easy fix. The bumpers are decent driver quality as well as the fog lamps that say fog on them and are not cracked. I put new tail light doors on with Ford part #s and one of the lenses is a little faded.E-Mail me with any questions before bidding or you can reach me on my cell at (302)222-5881.Please ask your wife ,husband partner or whoever before bidding and only bid if you have the money.We take our auctions seriosely and have a 100% feedback.A $500 pay-pal deposit is due 5 days after auction end with the balance being wired to our account within 10 days of auction end.We will provide you with a routing number and account number after auction ends.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with

Mon, 12 May 2014

Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
