I purchased this car from Liberty Lincoln-Mercury in Clifton, NJ on 10/22/2011 for $6,800 and had it shipped to the Chicago suburbs. That dealer purchased the car from the granddaughter of the original owner. I have the original dealer invoice, car sticker, dated 1/22/1968 from Jack Gibbons City Ford for $4,738, see both pictures. Therefore, this is basically a one owner car that I had purchased for my dad in 2011. The car runs excellent, however, it must be towed as the rear end "locked" up on us. I am not sure what is wrong or else I would obvious tell you. The engine and body condition, along with the low mileage and "original" condition was why I purchased this car. The interior lighting needs some electrical work. The car needs paint as it's original. This is a very solid car, I did not want to sell it. My dad recently had a stroke and we will no longer be able to restore this car. I am an honest person in a bind to sell the car. Please feel free to ask me any questions. If you would like to see the car in person, just contact me. Buyer must arrange and pay for shipping / pick up, I will not.

ADDED: I STARTED THE CAR YESTERDAY 6/8, IN REVERSE IT WILL MOVE BACKWARDS, IN DRIVE IT WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD. (Something is wrong with the rear end???)

This car is priced to sell asap.

Thank you.

Ford Transit customs ready to work for SEMA

Fri, 31 Oct 2014

Ford's booth at the SEMA Show this year looks to have two, big themes. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen takes on the 2015 Mustang to the event, and it's now also announcing five customized versions on the 2015 Transit to join the modded pony cars. Each of the vans shows off a different use for the spacious commercial vehicle, from plush luxury to offroad ruggedness.
You probably don't think of the Transit as hitting the trails, but that's just what the take on the design from the Vegas Off-Road Experience (pictured above) is for. The company gives people the opportunity to drive a desert race truck, and this custom is meant to drive them to events. It should be able to take on the terrain a little better with off-road wheels and tires and fender flares, but inside passengers get serious luxury thanks to a 60-inch LED TV and video game systems.
Alternatively the blazing red Designed Travel Transit (right) is all about long road trips. The interior features four captain's chairs with heating, cooling and massage functions, and there's a 4K 50-inch TV to watch. For a touch of added class, the floor is made from hickory.

Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.

General Motors slipped 3% to 79 and Fiat Chrysler had a 5% drop, registering a score of 75 out the possible 100. What's driving this trend of customer dissatisfaction?
