  • I DO NOT WANT TO PART THIS CAR.  I WANT TO SELL IT AS IS.  IT IS MUCH MORE THAN WHAT IT SEEMS, READ ALL OF WHAT'S WRITTEN IN THIS AD, BECAUSE IF I HAVE TO PUT LABOR INTO PARTING IT OUT FOR ANYBODY, I'M GOING TO CHARGE 500.00 FOR ANY PART.  I DON'T CARE IF IT'S A QUARTER EXTENSION OR CUTTING OUT A REAR QUARTER PANEL.  IT WILL COST YOU 500 DOLLARS, BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO SELL THIS CAR AS A WHOLE, SO YOU'RE BETTER OFF BUYING THE WHOLE CAR, AND HAVING A DONOR CAR WITH EXTRA PARTS.  THAT'S SMARTER IN THE LONG RUN.  ALSO, MOST SHIPPING COMPANIES WILL GIVE ME A HASSLE WITH SHIPPING IF THEY CAN EVEN SHIP YOUR PART, AND THAT COST WILL BE EXTRA FOR YOU.  I MIGHT BE ABLE TO DELIVER  THIS CAR TO YOU FOR FREE IF YOU WIN IT, AND YOU'RE CLOSE ENOUGH. 
  • THIS CAR HAS AN ORIGINAL 351 CLEVELAND ENGINE IN IT THAT TURNS.  IT CRANKS.  It has not been started in a few months, but it turned when I was working on it in October. 
  • IN OCTOBER, I PUT ON THE ENGINE, A BRAND NEW HOLLEY 650 2V CARBURETOR (shown in photos)
  • ALL THE BODY PIECES FOR THE CAR ARE PRESENT.  When I FIRST bought it, there was not ONE mark on the car, only the surface rust shown in the photos.  It was sideswiped, during the first storm in NY this winter, while parked, during the snow, where I keep it garaged and work on it.  This is the reason why I'm selling it: because the damage I will have to eat, out of pocket, because the party responsible for the damage has fled.  If you're a body guy, have access to a shop, buddies in the industry, you've scored.  Because I'm selling this convertible CHEAP.
  • I AM SELLING A RUNNING CONVERTIBLE PROJECT WITH THE ENGINE AND TRANNY IN THE CAR.  The car is missing nearly ALL of the interior, except the driver's seat (I gutted out the interior because I have a complete interior that I was buying MINT from another guy I know, for 1500.00. SO, if you would like me to connect you with this gentleman, you will have an ENTIRE running car for under 3500.00.  I was going to paint it, where it is shown, before the damage occurred. 
  • THE TOP MOTOR WORKS (The fuel lines for the hydraulic pumps I believe have frozen, or need fluid of some sort, but you can hear the top's motor on the pump cranking).
  • The ORIGINAL owner, lost the keys, so in order to start the car for me so I could drive it off his lot, he had to CUT the steering column where the ignition is, so you'll need a whole new steering column.  (This part can also be obtained from the individual I was getting the interior from).  I later found the original keys UNDER the back seat, while parting out the interior).  I have a few sets of keys now.
  • I have the Bill of Sale from the original owner (NOT the title, there is NO TITLE, but a title isn't needed in NYS: You apply for HISTORIC plates, with proof of historic car insurance at the dmv.  This is a FACT - EBAY REQUIRES YOU FILL OUT SOME SORT OF "DESCRIPTION" FOR THE TITLE, BUT THERE IS NO TITLE).
THIS CAR IS PRICED TO SELL AT 1925.00 DOLLARS. I AM VERY SERIOUS ABOUT THAT. If you would like to get around that price, message me.  I'm not taking trades, only cash. IT IS A PROJECT, and I am selling it at what it is worth = under 2000 dollars. You will have a very difficult time finding ANY convertible, that even has a MOTOR in it, for less than 2000.00.... even a cheap Chrysler Sebring or a Chevy Cavalier. 

  • ALL ELECTRICS WORK. AIR CONDITION BLOWS AIR. 
  • I HAVE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW STEEL FLOOR FROM MUSTANGS UNLIMITED FOR 200+ DOLLARS WHICH I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF INSTALLING/WELDING (SHOWN IN PHOTOS)
  • YOU WILL GET AN EXTRA STARTER FOR THIS CAR, THAT WAS NOT EVEN FOR THIS CAR, BUT BECAUSE IT'S IN THE PHOTOS I'LL THROW IT IN.
  • ALSO NOT PICTURED, BUT INCLUDED IS A BRAND NEW 800CCA INTERSTATE BATTERY.
  • IN ADDITION, THE TOP FOR THE CONVERTIBLE, I HAVE, (BUT IT IS BLUE IN COLOR) it does NOT have the window, so you'll have to buy that separate, LET ME KNOW IF YOU DON'T WANT THE TOP.
  • Other than that driver side damage, It is a CLEAN CAR all around, meaning: ALL LINES MATCH UP, ALL POINTS MEET, ALL DOOR HINGES OPEN AND CLOSE SMOOTH, AND THE DOORS ARE LINED UP WITH THE BODY WHEN CLOSED. SAME GOES FOR THE TRUNK AND THE HOOD. Look at the photos and the VIDEO clips.  The hood hinges need some oiling, but they DO MEET UP at the points.  EVERY SINGLE BODY PART IS THERE.  It is missing one fender emblem, and the trunk and hood emblems. 
  • The milage shows 38,404 and it was elderly owned before I got it. Body-wise and interior it was COMPLETE.  There is rust on the car, obviously, and needs a new battery tray (which is included in the sale)

THIS IS A 7 DAY LISTING, FOR A CAR THAT IS A PROJECT CAR.  If you need it sooner, message me WITH A NAME, TIME OF AVAILABILITY, AND NUMBER.  YOU CANNOT DRIVE OFF THE LOT WITH IT- THE DRIVERS SEAT IS NOT BOLTED ON. IT CANNOT BE DRIVEN.  IT HAS BEEN SITTING AND YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK ON IT ELSEWHERE.  

I CAN ALSO POSSIBLY HAVE IT TOWED FOR YOU WITHIN NYC FOR FREE if you contact me ahead of time.  THE CAR IS SOLD AS IS- AS A PROJECT CAR, THAT NEEDS TO BE RE-ASSEMBLED AND RESTORED.
I HAVE OFFICIAL BILL OF SALE PAPERS ON HAND TO FILL OUT.

THIS IS A DEAL FOR A CONVERTIBLE CLASSIC CAR WITH EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE PANELS AND 3 SEATS.  TIRES WILL BE INFLATED BEFORE IT DEPARTS FROM THE LOT.  IT IS PRICED TO SELL AT THE PRICE I LISTED IT FOR.  DO NOT "WATCH" THE AUCTION, INQUIRE, AND ACT FAST.  I DON'T EXPECT ANY MORE THAN 1925.00, BUT I WILL LET THE AUCTION RUN IF NOBODY SPEAKS UP.. THANK YOU.

EXTRA PHOTOS AND VIDEO CLIPS OF THE EXACT CAR YOU WILL GET (there is ONE more video, but for $1925, this ad is enough effort I believe)

Ford recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue

Fri, Dec 20 2019

Ford is recalling 600,166 older-model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles over an issue that could affect braking and increase the risk of a crash. The safety recall covers certain Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years that were built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 22, 2006, and July 15, 2009. Ford says a valve that is normally closed inside the hydraulic control unit may get stuck in the open position or be slow to close, which could make it harder to engage the brakes and increase risk of a crash. Ford says itÂ’s aware of 15 reports of accidents and two injuries possibly related to the issue. Dealers will inspect the hydraulic control unit for signs of the problem and replace it, if necessary. The dealers will pressure-flush the system with brake fluid and replace the reservoir cap with a new one. Ford is also issuing a small recall of 33 of its 2020 F-150 trucks in the U.S. and 51 in Canada over potentially damaged spare tires. It says the bead area on the tires may have been damaged when it was mounted onto the wheel assembly, leaving it vulnerable to corrosion, separation of the bead wire and ultimately a rapid loss of air pressure and detachment from the wheel. Dealers will replace the spare tire. Affected vehicles were built at the Dearborn Truck Plant from Nov. 10-21 of this year.

New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek

Fri, Jan 29 2016

Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis LS

Thu, Nov 24 2022

We've all been seeing the instantly familiar Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor on North American roads for what seems like forever, though in fact the very first of the aerodynamic Crown Vics didn't appear until a mere 31 years ago. Yes, after more than a decade of boxy LTD Crown Victorias, Dearborn took the late-1970s-vintage Panther platform and added a brand-new, Taurus-influenced smooth body and modern overhead-cam V8 engine, giving us the 1992 Ford Crown Victoria. The rule was, since 1939, that (nearly) every Ford model needed a corresponding Mercury, and so the Mercury Division applied different grille and taillights and the rejuvenated Grand Marquis was born. Here's one of the first of those cars to be built, now residing in a Denver-area self-service boneyard. The Marquis name goes respectably far back, to the late 1960s and a Mercurized version of the Ford LTD hardtop. The Grand Marquis began life as the name for an interior trim package on the 1974 Marquis Brougham (also LTD-based), eventually becoming a model in its own right for the 1979 model year. Today's Junkyard Gem came off the Ontario assembly line in March 1991, making one of the very first examples built. For 1992 (and through 2011), the Grand Marquis was a Crown Victoria with slightly enhanced bragging rights. This one has the top-grade LS trim, with an MSRP of $20,644 (that's about $44,370 in inflation-adjusted 2022 dollars). The corresponding Ford-badged model (built on the same assembly line by the same workers) would have been the Crown Victoria LX, which actually cost a bit more: $20,987 ($44,910 now). The very cheapest civilian 1992 Crown Vic cost just $19,563 ($42,045 today). There weren't any powertrain differences between the Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis in 1992. The only engine available was this Modular 4.6 SOHC V8, rated at either 190 (single exhaust) or 210 (dual exhaust) horsepower. The transmission was a four-speed automatic with overdrive. How many miles are on this one? Can't say! Based on the worn-out interior, I'm going to guess 221,719 miles passed beneath this car's wheels during its 32-plus years on the road. I've seen some very high-mile Police Interceptors, of course, including one with 412,013 miles, but Ford didn't go to six-digit odometers in the Grand Marquis until a bit deeper into the 1990s. Thanks to flawed speech-to-text applications on smartphones, the Grand Marquis is known as the "Grandma Keith" to many of us today.
