This car is my baby and I hate to see it go, but I am in desperate need of some college money. I'm going of to college this August and need to get a cheaper vehicle by then. I had the transmission completely overhauled less that a month ago. The main seal was leaking, so while Aamco had the tranny out, I had them go ahead and rebuild it. This car has the Original 390 Big Block Ford FE engine with a 4bbl carb and matching original 3-speed Transmission. The car has 78,813 original miles on it. This was originally a factory A/C car, but when I bought the car, the compressor was missing. I had every intention of putting a new one in but I just never got around to it. I've had this car about 2 years now and I purchased it from a guy in California. I live in Las Vegas, and drove this sweet ride all the way home from California. There are no overheating problems what-so-ever. Driving it home from California is proof of that. This is my daily driver and I do not have any problems with it. This is a very smooth ride and she cruises. She loves both the freeway and surface streets. The interior is absolutely to die for. It amazes me how much they put into old cars, not like newer cars today. The driver seat needs some upholstery work, but the rest of the seats are nice. The back seats don't even appear to be used. The seats are the original leather. This car came from the factory with power windows and a power driver seat. The front driver and passenger windows work great, but I have some problems with the small back windows. I think they need new motors, but that's not a big deal. There's this aftermarket parts dealer in California called Larry's Thunderbird and Mustang, they have every part imaginable for this car, and for great prices. The front wing windows are really cool, I've never seen anything like them before. They are crank to open and close. Less than 6 months ago, I had a brand new paint job put un the car. That along with the Mustang Racing Wheels are the only things I changed. Other than these things, and the Edelbrock carburetor, the car is in its original condition. I'm 6' 1" and have no problems driving this car. I am very comfortable in it, and with the original tilt-away steering wheel, I can get in and out of the car easily. One of my favorite features this car has is the sequential blinkers, from the factory. The last owner converted the blinkers from vacuum to electric. This car is a real head-turner. I get comments multiple times a day, and will really miss all the attention, but the time has come for me to move on. My future is more important than this car. There will always be other cars for me to buy. Please bid with confidence, this beauty deserves it. If there's anything I missed, please fell free to shoot me an email. Let me know if there are specific things you want pictures of. Thank you!! GOOD LUCK bidding!!


This car is being sold AS-IS. At the time of purchase, I require a 100% NON-refundable $1000 deposit for my own assurances that you will come and get the car. The rest will be CASH in person. If for some reason you come to pick up the car and decide not to buy it (which is very unlikely due to the beauty of this car), the deposit will be forfeited and not returned to you.

2016 Ford Focus RS may yet be AWD, US sales likely

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

When it comes to forbidden fruit, few vehicles are spoken of in as hushed a tone as the Ford Focus RS. The turbocharged, five-cylinder hot hatch could only be seen from afar by American customers as it tore up the roads of Europe. And while it's safe to say that Ford's Yankee fans are quite happy to now be on equal footing with drivers in the old country thanks to the Focus ST, we doubt there'd be much protestation over a successor to the RS arriving stateside.
Of course, we've seen images of the new RS undergoing testing, but a new story by Road and Track aims to fill in some very large blanks in our knowledge of that car, thanks to a pair of mysterious insiders at the Ford. Chief among those is this - the RS will almost certainly make its way to the US, albeit in limited quantities. It gets better, though.
Under hood, the new RS is unsurprisingly expected to borrow the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Ford Mustang and 2015 Lincoln MKC. While that twin-scroll turbo produces 310 horsepower in the Mustang and 285 ponies in the MKC, R&T expects the RS to deliver quite a bit more firepower - 325 to 350 hp, with preference going to the higher output due to the limited-edition nature of the RS. This roughly fits with previous reports.

Ford profits soar as problems mount

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

Ford is doing well. It can't make enough examples of its new Fusion, it can barely make enough of the aging F-150, it's getting good brand rankings, people like its turnaround story, it's selling oodles of product and its quarterly profit numbers end in the word "billion." As other high-flying examples have demonstrated over the past few years, though, big numbers can come with problems that aren't exactly small.
Automotive News has published a good "nutshell" report of Ford's progress and problems. The Dearborn automaker's optimistic "general label rule" determination of gas mileage for the C-Max Hybrid has led to lawsuits, hybrid software updates, a downward revision of C-Max fuel economy and millions in rebates. AN notes the C-Max was the "worst-scoring model in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study," but Ford will probably be happy that it managed not to be mentioned further in the study's results after last year's mediocre showing. Its MyTouch and SYNC systems, the bugbears sabotaging Ford's J.D. Power results, have also led to lawsuits, software updates, more software updates and a center console rethink. On top of that, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Ford Escape that Ford called a "hero" was soon catching fire for three different reasons. And let's not even get into the troubled launch of the Lincoln MKZ.
The Automotive News piece notes that industry observers have been surprised at Ford's stumbles because everything has been looking so good. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of those billions in profits - the company is doing plenty of things, plural, right. Ford says it is tackling its problems, hiring engineers and instituting new quality control processes as part of its effort to find solutions. The test will be to see if in a year from now we begin the discussion of these issues with "Remember when Ford...", or "Problems continue at The Blue Oval."

MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.
