I bought this car in November of 2011 from an eighty year old man where it had been parked in his garage for the last ten years.  The cars original color was green as seen in some of the pictures.  The owner before me wanted a red car and had the paint work done (not top quality).  The cars dash was sprayed black and door panels changed.  Someone was in the process of removing the black paint from the dash when I bought it.  This car was restored many years ago and reportedly came out of California. Point is the body work is average, not top shelf, but there is very little rust.  A few spots in the trunk floor and a few bubbles behind the rear tire.  Everything else is solid.  Within the last year and a half I have replace the complete exhaust system, the complete brake system (master/wheel cylinders, shoes, and rubber lines), water pump and cooling system parts including a new aluminum radiator, and repaired some leaks in the power steering system.  The fuel pump has been replaced and all fuel system/carb issues resolved.  New distributor vacuum spark advance along with a tuneup and battery.  The car has a shell of a hardtop (just the fiberglass) that could be finished out.  I purchased an original soft top with swing arm.  The top fabric needs to be replaced but the frame is in excellent condition.  This car is a driver, starts and runs fine.  I insured it and bought the license plate.  I drive it whenever I can (pleasure only).  It is very dependable and has earned my confidence.  I'm selling because I have got to a point where the body work needs to start.  I'm more mechanical than body work and have lost some interest.  I also have an old chevy truck I want to finish, so its time for this one to go.  I know I'm not going to make money or even get my money out of it, but I won't give it away either so there is a reserve.  Please contact me with any questions. I will send additional photos as requested.

Ford to add more than 2,000 jobs in Kansas City

Thu, 02 May 2013

Continued high demand for the Ford F-150, along with the addition of the all-new Transit series of commercial vehicles, has led Ford to announce that it will add over 2,000 jobs at its Kansas City Assembly Plant. At the time of the announcement, the plant boasts 2,450 hourly employees working on two shifts. All told, Ford will invest $1.1 billion in the Kansas City plant to expand truck production and begin producing the Transit series.
According to the automaker, fullsize truck sales are up 19 percent through April of 2013, leading to an additional 900 workers and a third shift of production for the F-150. Production of the Transit series will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, requiring an additional 1,100 workers. In addition, Ford estimates that a total of 18,000 jobs will be created by suppliers to its Kansas City plant to support the additional vehicle production.
