The Type N/W package included the black-out hood paint treatment, hood twist-lock pins, special high-impact paint colors with graphics, dual outside sport mirrors, and argent silver road wheels with wide oval tires. All engine options were available; this one came from the factory with the H-code 351C, and currently has a strong running period-correct 302 and C4 automatic transmission. The car features power front disc brakes and power steering. Mechanically, the car is what you might consider a "daily driver" in sound condition. The car has 132,191 total miles on it.
This particular car sold new out of the Seattle area and spent the majority of it's life in Eastern Oregon, resulting in a dry, rust-free car. It has a very nice high-quality repaint in the original Pacific Blue, and it looks great. I have found no evidence of rust or filler/panel repair on the car... very nice sheet metal.
The glass, chrome, and trim are all excellent, including the front grill and rear tail panel sections. I'd say the car would rate right up around a "9" on the exterior, and probably at least a "7" on the interior. The dash has a fitted "factory-style" dash cap installed, and while the upholstery on the bucket seats isn't an exact pattern match, overall the interior is nice, complete, and sound with a good headliner, door panels, trim, etc.
All the gauges, heater, lights, wipers, etc. seem in proper working order with the exception of the turn signals; I think it's probably simply the flasher relay.
While every effort is being made to describe this vehicle accurately, it is a 43-year-old classic automobile and is being sold as-is, without warranty expressed, or implied. Shipping will be the full responsibility of the buyer, however I will make myself available to your shipper for loading and pick-up. Please be prepared to remit payment within three days of the auction's end.
You may call me at 360-936-9257 or email with any questions you might have.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
2015 Ford Expedition
Mon, 21 Jul 2014While the tide of bigger-is-better SUVs has been in recession since, well, the recession, fullsize utes are still very much with us. Conservative creatures that have been loathe to evolve, fullsize SUVs nonetheless remain enduringly popular among large families, livery customers, and anyone with lots of friends, relatives, and toys to tug around. With respect to Toyota and Nissan, the only players that really matter in the segment are the new-for-2015 Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban, the GMC Yukon/Yukon XL, and this truck: the Ford Expedition, the latest evolution of which we just drove for the first time at a press preview in West Virginia.
Unlike the General Motors utilities, the standard Expedition and the long-wheelbase Expedition EL are not all-new, but rather are heavily refreshed versions of the same basic truck Ford started selling way back in 2007. The front fascia is where most of the exterior update happens for 2015, with a new three-bar grille design, halogen projector headlamps, and new bumper design with available LED foglamps. Despite all the new bits, the facelift breaks exactly zero ground in terms of design; in fact, it already looks dated, and will only look older once the macho 2015 F-150 bows later this year. Even less has changed out back, where the tailgate gets a wide chrome band spanning the taillamps and a new chrome exhaust tip. Other exterior changes are generally limited to colors and an all-new wheel lineup that includes a gleaming set of six-spoke 22-inch polished wheels on high-end models.
Speaking of high-end models, a new Platinum trim is positioned above the cowboy-spec King Ranch model for 2015. Both the Platinum and King Ranch get their own color combos and exterior trim finishes (satin metal for the Platinum, chrome everywhere and ginormous badges for the King Ranch) and posh, leather-lined interiors with their own aesthetic. The Expedition family also now includes a price-leading XL model, as well as XLT and Limited grades.
Ford posts record pre-tax Q3 profit of $2.6B
Thu, 24 Oct 2013Ford took in $2.6 billion in pre-tax profits in the third quarter of the year, making for a record trio of months that saw the Blue Oval's year-over-year earnings increase by $426 million. The earnings are being attributed not just to improvements in North American sales, but sales around the globe.
Revenue was up 12 percent, to $36 billion, although net income took a hit, dropping $359 million to $1.3 billion. Ford was dinged with $498 million in pre-tax charges, which are being blamed for the drop in net income.
The news has boosted Ford's hopes for full-year results, bumping it's total profits up past $8 billion, according to Automotive News. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer is still expecting a loss in Europe, although it's forecasted less than the $1.73 billion it burned in 2012. In fact, according to CFO Bob Shanks, Ford's European losses dropped by 51 percent year-over year, a huge improvement for the brand.
