Needs a new engine. Can be driven short distances as is. Interior, both front, back, and cargo area all in excellent condition, amazingly clean, has the highest grade XLT velour fabric and high back front seats with center pull down armrest, which, when folded up, can accommodate a 3rd center person up front, albeit a small person! Dash, glass, carpet, and outside chrome grille, bumpers, trim, outside spare wheel carrier, etc all fine. Exhaust and brakes redone March 2011.
Body and paint look great but up close there is some corrosion at the bottom around the door/sill. A/C and cassette mechanism not working. Makes a great project car, off roader, etc. Do your homework, come inspect it, and make sure you are familiar with these before bidding. This was actually one of the first true sport utility vehicles made; great turning radius and easy to fit in tight spaces due to short wheelbase. They also have a higher than normal center of gravity and, along with that wheelbase, in immature hands can also wind up sideways or upside down without great effort. I would not give this to my teen sons as their first car, for example.
Car is located at a triple AAA certified service shop in Denver CO, and can be seen and tested with advance notice during their regular business hours. These are the only photos we have. For sale as is and where is.
Payment by Paypal only and required in full within 2 days of auction end. Vehicle and title released only after full payment.

Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.
This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US
Wed, 11 Dec 2013As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.

J Mays' legacy
Fri, 15 Nov 2013
Mays is by far not the first designer to use heritage design cues in his work.
The announcement that J Mays will be leaving his chief creative officer role at Ford Motor Company on January 1 ends a 13-year run in one of the industry's top design roles. While best known for having a hand in reborn classics like the Volkswagen New Beetle, Ford Mustang and Thunderbird (above), Mays' legacy is more complicated and nuanced than being considered the father of what is known as "retrofuturism".
