This is a pretty sweet ride, it has been entirely taken apart and reworked, engine pulled, cleaned up and freshly painted, holley 650 4bbl double pumper, high performance clutch, new radiator, '79 Granada spindles and disc brakes, windshield, rear glass, completely new interior from the carpet to headliner, trunk liner, exhaust system (twin glass packs), this thing sounds vicious! Door locks are keyed to match ignition cylinder. All windows roll up and down perfectly. Both doors open and close perfectly, no sagging whatsoever. The only imperfections are the drive shaft was made for the car but isn't balanced, so it needs a new one before you hit highway speeds. The vibration isn't noticeable whatsoever under 50-55 mph. The paint is nice but it needs more laid on the top of the car (hood, roof, trunk). New matching tires, problem here is the wheel offset is a hair off so you get a little rubbing on the rear tires if you're turning hard or have a lot of weight in the car. The interior is fantastic but it didn't receive a new dash pad, but it looks like new. There has been floorboard repair due to rust, the floor was removed and rewelded so it is solid. Despite these issues, the car fires right up and runs phenomenally. Brakes are like new and work perfectly. This thing is a blast to drive with the manual transmission and high performance clutch! The speedometer is not hooked up, but you can hear the gear turning, just needs new cable, this was overlooked during the restoration. Other gauges function (fuel, temp, oil pressure). It has its original steering wheel. I have a lot of extra trim pieces, the caliente badging, the trunk trim, the aluminum that goes down the length of the car (where its painted white now), stock kick panels, horn button, etc. I also have an extra un-cut dashplate so you can put in a factory radio if you wish. This car needs very little to finish. Hard work is all done and you'll feel like your driving a new one once you sit in this thing! Want something different from the crowd at your cruise in night? Here it is! This car is uncommon, and really turns heads with its snarly exhaust! Don't miss out on this rare bucket seat factory 4 speed Caliente.If you are a serious buyer and have questions about the car call me 5208675701

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
