This is a "Project" car that still needs more work. Look at the pictures and read the description. Starting the bid low to give everyone a chance. Due to disability and financial problems, I am unable to finish the car. Now looking to sell to raise quick cash for bills. The Rebuilt Engine, Transmission and Rear plus all these parts listed, then add all the machine shops and all the mechanics costs come to over $12 grand total. Most of the hard work and cost has been done. Should not take much more to get it on the road.
Owned this car Since 1982 when I purchased it from family member. This car was a daily driver up until several years ago. We decided to upgrade the engine, transmission and rear end. Plenty of New parts and alot of mechanical work has been done. Started up this engine for it's first time (has zero miles since rebuild) and it sounded great with the Hooker Headers and Turbo Mufflers. Unfortunately it stalled out a few times due to bad fuel (tea colored) shown in the clear fuel filter. I would recommend replacing the 40 year old Gas Tank and Fuel Lines because of the gas tanks internal rust will contaminate the engine. The engine has no miles on it and will need adjustments and a breakin period. The 3 Speed Automatic transmission has no miles on it, needs to run all gears and check fluids. The rear end was rebuilt with new bearings and 4.11 gears also with no miles on it. The car will need some minor work and TLC before you can drive it on the road. The car needs lots of body work, has rust in quarters, floor and trunk. Will need paint and body work to make is look great. Plus any other minor mechanical issues. The interior is original all black as it came. Dash shows cracking and so does the leather seats. The black carpet is worn and needs replacement. The door panels show alot of wear. The black headliner has wear and a minor few tears. This is normal condition for a 40 year old car. Below is a partial listing, many more New parts just too much to list all of them.
This sale is for serious car buyers only, email me with your phone number for more details and appointment. This car is in a Las Vegas Storage Facility. Not driveable, so it will need to be towed and or shipped. Local buyers, If you want to hear the engine, I will get help to start it up for a demo run (not to drive). Payment in cash upon pickup. Clean Nevada Title in my name. Sold "as-is" condition all sales are final.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.

Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.

Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
