How would you like to drive around in a car that will get stares and “Thumbs Up” from all ages?  Do you like get a real bargain? Maybe even a steal. 

 

Well here is your chance.  58 years old and still going strong. 

 

This vehicle was given to me by my father prior to his passing in 2008.  He purchased the vehicle from a local collector in 2003.  It always won a trophy when we entered it into a local care show in the Richmond VA area.

 

Why am I selling it?  Good question.  This is a wonderful car, but not what I ultimately want.  My father had 3 antique cars and this is the one he gave me.   I presently don’t have the time to drive it as much as I would like.  Doesn’t do anyone any good just sitting in a garage. 

 

NOTE: I am not interested in a vehicle trade.

 

What I know about the vehicle…

 

·         Partially restored (75-80%) in early 2000 by a local collector.

·         Garage kept

·         Interior

o   Carpet shows normal wear, must not have been included in the restoration.

o   Seats are clean, no rips or tears.

·         Exterior

o   Clean paint job

o   Normal paint nicks from usage

·         Engine/Transmission

o   V8: Not sure if it is a 292 or 312

o   Runs great

o   Will occasionally come out of second gear if not under power. But how often will you stay in Second.

o   Three-speed on the floor.

·         Overall

o   Considered a “30 Footer”.

o   Will chirp the tires in all three gears.

o   Hard top convertible.

o   Continental kit.

o   Fender Skirts

o   Speedometer is not hooked up.

o   Mileage shows mostly Zeros. Not sure of actual mileage.

 

According to NADAGuides, this vehicle price range is:

                Low Retail:          $35,000

                Mid Retail:          $52,000

 

Even though it has a few minor issues, in my opinion the car easily exceeds the guidelines of a Low Retail car.

 

If you want more pictures or specific details, please do not hesitate to post a question.  I will answer your question as soon as possible and to the best of my ability.

Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.

70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.
