See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Recent Restore. Really nice car."

Originally a high desert southern Idaho car, 352/cruiseomatic trans, Palm Springs Rose paint with black/white vinyl interior. Originally from our inventory of restorable project cars, purchased in the mid 90s by a retired law enforcement officer to restore in his retirement years. He sold it back to us after completing all of the mechanical work. Restoration was finished at our in-house restoration shop early this year and has done the show and shine tour this summer. Now its ready for a new home!!!
The original 352 was bored .030 and fitted with new pistons, crank turned .010 and all new parts installed. The heads were rebuilt with new valves and hardened seats. All the machinework was done at a reputable machineshop. A Edelbrock Performer intake, edelbrock carb, and pertronics ignition conversion were installed along with a later Ford alternator. A complete new exhaust was installed. The original trans was rebuilt and installed and the front suspension was cleaned, re built and installed. The brakes were rebuilt at the same time with new wheel cylinders ect. The rear diff was treated to a good cleaning and re-seal. Wheels were changed to later tbird 15; and new Goodyear tires installed (the original 14; wheels go with the car if you want them). Milage at the time of restoration was believed to be 81,000 or close to that. At this point the owner decided to sell it back to us after working on it for about 10 years. Bodywork consisted of repairing some light damage to the front above the bumper, and some minor dings and dents here and there. The car was 99% rust free and did not require any patches to the floors or trunk. All of the materials were quality BASF primers and base/clear products. Paint was re-done in the original code V Palm Springs Rose. The interior is completely new top to bottom including headliner, dash pad, carpet, door panels and seats. Driver seat is power and works good. Over $2000.00 was spent on the interior alone!!! New weatherstripping was used on the doors and roofrails. The wipers were converted to electric New Port engineering wiper motor. All of the stainless trim was polished and re-installed. A new trunk trim kit and underhood kit was installed.
Since restoration was completed early this year, the car has done the local show and shines and cruise nights. The engine runs flawlessly, the trans shifts smooth, everything works great. Excellent driver, very dependable. About the only issues it has are- The windshield is original therefor has a few light scratches accumulated over the years. The bumpers are also original but the chrome is driver quality only, when examined up close they present some scratches and thin spots. They are very straight and no dents so a good replating job shouldnt cost that much. Overall a very nice car, no way one could be restored for the reserve amount, let alone parts and labor costs.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW tests AdBlue pumps, Drivr is a Tesla taxi service

Thu, Jan 22 2015

BMW is testing AdBlue pumps in Germany. AdBlue fluid is used to remove NOx from diesel exhaust, and it is stored in its own tank within the vehicle. Filling AdBlue is easy enough for drivers to do it themselves, and with the proliferation of diesel vehicles in Europe, a pump filling system could make more sense than using the current hand-held containers. BMW is testing AdBlue pumps at three fueling stations in Munich and Berlin to help develop further AdBlue dispenser technology. Read more at Green Car Congress. Drivr Green Personal Transportation is a Tesla taxi service in Cincinnati. Two former employees of Tesla Motors founded the startup, which bills itself alongside ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft. Customers book a ride online, and are picked up by a Tesla Model S. The ride costs $2.50 per mile with a $15 minimum. Drivr currently operates three cars with seven drivers, with plans to lease another 10 Teslas and employ up to 30 drivers. The service will also be expanding to Denver soon, according to the website. Learn more at the Drivr website, or read more at Clean Technica. Ford is opening a research and development facility in Silicon Valley. The Ford Research & Innovation Center, which will be located less than three miles from Tesla Motors headquarters in Palo Alto, California, is expected to be one of the automotive industry's largest R&D facilities. "We're driving to be both a product and a mobility company, and ultimately to change the way the world moves," says Ford CEO Mark Fields. Read more at Automotive News. Law firms advising Fisker Automotive have been denied a $2.50-million fee enhancement in the car company's bankruptcy. Brown Rudnick LLP and Saul Ewing LLP were denied the extra fees, as a Delaware bankruptcy judge ruled there is "no evidence" that the firms provided anything more than what they originally expected. In denying the fee enhancement, the judge cited a "very high bar" for such awards. Read more at Law360.

2016 Ford Mustang SVT hides big power under its domed hood

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

With a number of 2015 Ford Mustang versions finally available to configure, the fun of speculating about next year's high-performance 'Stang can now begin. It looks like Ford has something seriously fun planned too. One of our spy photographers just snapped some fresh pics of the 2016 Mustang SVT, which is believed to be hiding the final body shape under all of that heavy camouflage.
Ford clearly doesn't want prying eyes looking at its new pride and joy. It would be hard to put much more obfuscation on a car than this one wears - it even has mesh baffles around the exhausts to conceal how many there are and panels over the wheels to hide their design. However, the Blue Oval can't keep everything a secret. The biggest clue that something special is hidden underneath is the massive hood bulge and vent in front of it. Clearly, whatever is under there is hungry for cool air. The shape of the camo indicates that there may be fender vents on each side, and there are also obscured outlets behind the front wheels likely to pull cool air through the brakes. At the rear, the concealment does its job, making it hard to observe any big changes. The fact that Ford wants it kept such a secret might indicate something, though.
A few photos of the interior show far less cover than the outside. You can easily make out the model's 6,500 rpm redline with a possible 7,000 rpm over-rev function. The big Recaro sport seats also look quite supportive.
