Great Foundation for your next Project - Classic Cruiser with super straight and clean original body.

The car is now a roller but I have the original C5AE block, crank, pistons and rods. Engine is presently unassembled and

will need rebuilding. The body only has 34,330 original miles and the condition of the body shows this. Every panel is

lazer straight and I could only find 3 areas with rust. One small area in trunk lip under rubber seal, front of trunk pan, and small

area in passenger floorpan. The rest of the body and structure are amazingly solid and original. Radiator support excellent as well

as all framerails. Radiator and shroud included - radiator may need to be repaired. Tires are brand new whitewall radials with

all 4 hubcaps in excellent condition.

 

The interior is possibly this car's best attribute. The stainless is in great shape, headliner nice, bucklet seats good the driver seat will need a little repair.

We spent many hours on the electrical and the following function work: Radio, Heater, power antenae, hi and low beams, window washer pump, dome lights,

courtesy lights, brake lights, sequential turn signals, power windows will work with some tinkering, dash rheostat, hi beam indicator and even the clock works!

 

Rebuild the included 390 short block, source the top-end of the motor (heads, intake manifold, cam ETC not included) source an MX or C6 transmission and you will have an easy winter project that will

turn many heads in the spring! I reserve the right to end the auction at any time due to the car being for sale locally. Please ask any and all questions. Very reasonable reserve. Thank you.

T - Bird is a project that will need work, assembly, some parts, and TLC before its ready for the road. Sold as is where is with no warrantly whatsoever.

Buyer must pick up vehicle within 7 days of auction close unless previously arranged.

New Ford Escape spied inside and out

Fri, Jun 26 2015

For the 2016 model year, the Ford Escape receives the Blue Oval's latest Sync 3 infotainment system and some minor tweaks to the color and trim options. Based on these new spy shots, it would appear that the crossover is due for some much bigger changes not too far into the future, as well. The thorough refresh isn't just an exterior styling update, either. Ford's designers are giving the future Escape a front end that's a bit more in the style of the latest Edge, at least based on these shots. Peek behind the mesh obscuring the grille, and the styling there now appears to have a hexagonal shape with horizontal slats and a smaller, lower intake. At the same time, the headlights are narrower and come to a sharper point as they wrap around the fender. The heavy camouflage makes the changes at the back harder to spot, although the taillights seem subtly tweaked with a similar overall shape but a clear stripe cutting through the center. The Escape also seems to be receiving a completely different center stack inside, but the area is still well concealed. The gearshift moves down between the seats, and that allows physical controls for the radio and HVAC to take that real estate. It's possible that the infotainment screen might pop up from the mesh-covered area you can see at the top of the interior photos. Take a look through the gallery for some detailed shots of Ford's camouflaged crossover.

The 2015 Ford Mustang is not so mellow in yellow

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

When we first saw the 2015 Ford Mustang, much was made of its new, more expressive color palette, which includes the return of both yellow and orange in addition to a new grayish shade, Guard. At that time, we didn't have anything to look at but a few small scale models painted in the new colors - the only Mustangs on display were in Race Red.
For its auto show debut here at in the Motor City, Ford has trotted out a couple of as-yet-unseen shades, including the striking Triple Yellow shown above. The new shade marks a return to a paint color that enthusiasts have been clamoring for, and we must say, it looks excellent under the lights of Cobo Hall.
Stat wise, there are still a number of questions we have about the redesigned Mustang. None of the three engines have had official power figures published. The same goes for pricing information, although if any loose-lipped execs let something slip in Detroit, we'll be sure to let you know. Until then, have a look at the new Triple Yellow Mustang on display at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.

Ford pranks unsuspecting blind dates with Mustang GT and stunt driver

Thu, Feb 12 2015

There's 'speed dating,' that ludicrous get-to-know-you ritual devised by The Inquisition of Mating, and then there's 'dating at ludicrous speed,' which is a better description of what Ford has done in this latest video for the 2015 Mustang GT for your Valentine's Day enjoyment. The Blue Oval used a professional stunt driver to hook six guys into going on a little car trip, but the setup is the key – she pretends she's not that good at driving, until she's really good at it. You can check it out above. Kudos to the guy who goes from "You might want to shift again" to "That's what I'm talking about!" without any question. And the ninja.
