This car is in Fantastic Condition for its age. No rust on car. Southern car that has always been indoors.

 This car is fresh out of a private collection and ready for new owner to enjoy all the hard work completed on it. 

 It is CRUISE READY TODAY!!!!

 Drives like a dream and sounds awesome!

 Following is a description of the car. Again, it will come with a 4 inch tall stack of documents and receipts chronicling the FULL Restoration process it under went.

 

 A LOT! Of $ was invested in this cool ride and it will sell for under that!!!!

 Interior:

    Dashboard is in perfect shape. Looks like new.

  We just had ALL windows on the car completely serviced and they work great from ALL switches.

1.    All window regulators were cleaned/ lubricated.

2.    Windows were All adjusted to raise and lower evenly.

3.    Switches were ALL cleaned and or replaced.

 Seats are in new condition front and rear.

Door panels like new

Carpet like new. NO fading. High quality factory replacement carpet. Not some cheapo knock off.

Basically interior on car is in near mint condition. I only say “near” because it is a 49 year old car. 

Exterior:

 -The paint on the car is in fantastic shape. Near show quality paint.

 The car was completely disassembled and re-painted. This was NOT masking taped and sprayed….The ENTIRE car was medina blasted inside and out. Primer sealed and then repainted. Bumpers, Grill, Windshield, All trim, Top, etc. were all removed for this process.  You will not see over spray on trim pieces etc. Car was done right and it is not caked with layers of old paint like most of these cars that have quickie re-sprays.

Look at under hood and under trunk lid photos. Everything was removed, restored, then replaced after paint. Again, NO OVER SPRAY.

Fantastic Base Coat Clear Coat Paint

-         Very dry and clean underneath! (See photos)

-         Appears front floors were replaced at time of restoration and in good shape. 

-         Chrome on Front and Rear Bumpers is NEW. Fully re-dipped

-         Door handle chrome is like new.

-         All Stainless trim on car is in very nice shape   

Engine: Original V8 390 CU 

  This car starts up easily and runs very strong. Motor sounds great and has plenty of power. Engine was FULLY REBUILT 10k miles ago. Transmission shifts smoothly into all gears and floats down the road. Power steering works great. Can steer car with one finger.  A pleasure to drive!

  Engine bay is VERY clean and well kept/ detailed. (see photos)

CAN EAT OFF IT. (although I wouldn’t recommend eating off the engine.) 

Note: This car has been driven about 100 miles since being removed from private collection. Drives like a dream with no known issues other than constant THUMBS up from on lookers!

-Just had Tune-Up done to the car including…

-new spark plugs

-new cap & rotor

CONVERTIBLE TOP:                                                                                              

SEE TOP IN WORKING ACTION AT THIS  YOUTUBE ADDRESS...      http://youtu.be/6VcNBM6LAJE

 Perhaps the most important item on one of these cars is the hydraulic top functions.  This car has just been fully serviced for its top.  Everything was gone thru including relays, pumps, etc.

Everything operates just as it did from the factory.  Top can be raised and lowered with ease and it is quite the site to see!!! 

Top material is original style stay fast canvas and is in NEW condition. Fits nice and is soft. Back window CLEAR!

 NOTE: IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE LINCOLNS OF THIS ERA, THEY HAD A KEYED SWITCH BY GAS TANK TO OPEN TRUNK. THIS ONE HAS A HIDDEN SWITCH INSIDE GAS TANK DOOR FOR AN EXTRA CONVIENIENCE.

Both this switch and the original top down switch work just as they should. SEE YOUTUBE Video on top going up and down…

 Items noted that need attention…

Ford wins second consecutive International Van of the Year award with Transit Connect

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect isn't even on sale yet, but it's already making its presence felt around the world. At a commercial vehicle expo in Russia, the Transit Connect was named the International Van of the Year.
Ford's small work van edged out the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter by just seven points to allow Ford to grab this honor for the second consecutive year, which it won last year with the Transit Custom. Not only does this make Ford the first to ever win the award in back-to-back years, but it's also the fifth time the automaker has won this award since 2003 (two with the Transit Connect, two with the fullsize Transit and once with the Transit Custom). Ford congratulates itself for the accomplishment in a press release posted below.

Watch how a Ford Raptor rolls down the assembly line in Dearborn

Sun, 30 Mar 2014

Bloomberg TV reporter Matt Miller is the proud new owner of a pretty killer truck. How do we know? The reporter headed to Dearborn, MI to Ford's assembly plant, with a film crew in tow, to see exactly how his new F-150 SVT Raptor and its mother-loving 6.2-liter V8 engine, was screwed together.
The resulting video does an excellent job of summing up how an assemblage of parts and pieces is turned into a triple-black Raptor, thanks to the work of some 1,000 employees and about 20 hours of real time. Click through below to see how the truck is born, with a surprise cameo playing the part of delivery driver at the end.

VW, Rivian, Nissan, BMW, Genesis, Audi and Volvo lose EV tax credits starting tomorrow

Mon, Apr 17 2023

The U.S. Treasury said Monday that Volkswagen, BMW, Nissan, Rivian, Hyundai and Volvo electric vehicles will lose access to a $7,500 tax credit under new battery sourcing rules. The Treasury said the new requirements effective Tuesday will also cut by half credits for the Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Rear Wheel Drive to $3,750 but other Tesla models will retain the full $7,500 credit. Vehicles losing credits Tuesday are the BMW 330e, BMW X5 xDrive45e, Genesis Electrified GV70, Nissan Leaf , Rivian R1S and R1T, Volkswagen ID.4 as well as the plug-in hybrid electric Audi Q5 TFSI e Quattro and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) electric Volvo S60. The Swedish carmaker is 82%-owned by China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. The rules are aimed at weaning the United States off dependence on China for EV battery supply chains and are part of President Joe Biden's effort to make 50% of U.S. new vehicle sales by 2030 EVs or PHEVs. Hyundai said in a statement it was committed to its long-range EV plans and that it "will utilize key provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act to accelerate the transition to electrification." Rivian declined to comment and the other automakers could not immediately be reached for comment. Treasury also disclosed General Motors electric Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV will qualify for the full $7,500 tax credit. GM said earlier it expected at least some of its EVS would qualify for the $7,500 tax credit under the new rules, including the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq and forthcoming Chevrolet Equinox EV SUV and Blazer EV SUV. Treasury said all GM EVs will qualify. Earlier, Ford Motor and Chrysler-parent Stellantis said most of their electric and PHEV models would see tax credits halved to $3,750 on April 18. Treasury confirmed the automakers' calculations. The rules were announced last month and mandated by Congress in August as part of the $430 billion Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The IRA requires 50% of the value of battery components be produced or assembled in North America to qualify for $3,750, and 40% of the value of critical minerals sourced from the United States or a free trade partner for a $3,750 credit. The law required vehicles to be assembled in North America to qualify for any tax credits, which in August eliminated nearly 70% of eligible models and on Jan. 1 new price caps and limits on buyers income took effect.
