Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

I bought this great T-bird about 5 weeks ago because I wanted to experience driving across the USA, including Route 66. This car is a great example of a survivor car. The paint and interior is original, but some restoration has taken place under the hood, including an engine change in 1990 according to the receipts that came with it.

I drove it around 3000 miles from Illinois, through Indiana and Ohio to New Jersey, then through Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas and Oklahoma. I would have driven it all the way to California and on to Vegas had a problem not developed with the air-con that was going to take too long to sort out for my trip deadlines. During the trip, I had the a/c converted to r134 in New Jersey, the driver's side balljoint replaced as well as steering and suspension rubbers in Tennessee, and 5 new tires in Oklahoma. Have receipts. A compression test was also done in Memphis, with all cylinders strong. There are a couple of oil leaks. I also lost two hubcaps along the way.

The sticker inside the driver's door (see picture) suggests the car spent at least its first 9 years in California. This may have been longer, but I only have receipts back to 1989, and all of those are from Illinois. There are some photographs in the receipts folder that indicate the car was garaged for a significant period of time at one stage, judging by the amount of dust on it.

The body is in great shape. The only rust I could find is under the passenger door around the seal, and even this is only superficial. I think this is the strongest aspect of the car, and previous owners have obviously been very careful with when and where the car was driven.

Odometer reads 8326, but obviously that has gone around once or twice. Wipers, all lights and cigarette lighter work. The radio powers up but isn't connected to speakers (and there is no aerial). The clock works!

Any questions, please contact Glenn by email at Glenn.Luthy@gmail.com

Call 262 664 2923 to arrange a time to see the car.

The car is titled and registered in Illinois, registration expires 7/14. VIN # is 4Y83Z119888

Payment is by cashier's check.

Europe's most-wanted classic car is... the Ford Mustang?

Sat, 28 Sep 2013

Over the span of its 49 years and five generations, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts in the US, but, as it turns out, this car is also very popular amongst European car lovers. Earlier this summer, AutoScout24 - a new and used car shopping site in Europe - polled around 75,000 European "car lovers" (not sure how they vetted the respondents) to see which cars were the most popular, and the Mustang came out on top over iconic European classics like the BMW M1 and Volkswagen Beetle.
In the whole of Europe, 37 percent of those polled dream of owning a Mustang, but that number jumps in individual countries like Austria (42 percent) and Spain (41 percent). Rounding out the top five popular classics in Europe are the Mini and Citroën 2CV. Find out which cars made up the rest of the top 10 in the press release posted below.

Ford Fiesta becomes UK all-time best seller

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

We may regard Ford as an American automaker, but ask a Brit and they may tell you otherwise. The Blue Oval has, after all, been selling cars in the UK since 1903, and started manufacturing there as far back as 1911 when it began local production of the Model T in Manchester. Last year Ford ended 100 years of vehicle manufacturing in the UK when the last Transit van rolled off the assembly line in Southampton, but it's still the biggest-selling automotive marque in Britain.
Ford has led the British market for 34 out of the past 45 years, selling more Fiestas than any other company sells any other car in the UK since 2009... when it overtook the Focus. In fact the Fiesta has now become the best-selling car in British history, topping 4,115,000 units since its introduction in 1976. The previous record was held by - you guessed it - another Ford: the Escort sold 4,105,961 units over the course of its 32 years on the British market.
Although the Fiesta is no longer manufactured in the UK (previous versions having been built at Dagenham until 2002), engines are: the EcoBoost line was developed at the company's R&D center in Essex and are built at the factory in Dunton, while its diesel engines were developed at Dagenham in East London. Even the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine in the Fiesta ST is built in South Wales.

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort

Fri, 24 May 2013

Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.
