This car is an easy restore and excellent investment.  It will need tires, repainting, oiling of hinges, etc., eventually a new windshield (recently bb'd by a drive by miscreant but while the pellet struck low and causes no vision problems eventually you will want to replace it.  Frame solid, rust almost non-existent with a few bubbles under the paint, mostly along the rockers.  Plan on a brake shoe replacement from so long sitting and a new battery.  Probably a muffler system too and maybe a new set of keys.   But we're going thru piles of keys from former cars over the years and a good chance we'll find the right ones.  Mostly plan on tinkering and elbow grease; few parts other then those mentioned and nothing of major expense that we can see or anticipate.  Why pay a 'restorer' to send his kids to college when you and a friend or two can do the work yourself in your own garage.  Even if you put $2,000 in it including paint, windshield, etc., put your pencil to paper look at the value you'll have compared to the resale value!  At least $10,000+ on the current market.  Car is complete except one wheel cover is missing.  Has original 12-volt electric from the factory.  Standard a/m radio and heating.  No major dings or scratches.  Windows rull up and down easily.  Interior shows no major wear.    Glass has standard factory tints.  Alll lguages worked fine when last driven.  No accidents.  The week before I purchased it it had been driven in cross country from the west coast area U.S. to Michigan where it is now.  Last started when driven into storage.  Radiator kept full with anti-freeze and no leaking.  Keep that in mind when you restart her.  There is a proper way to do that which is safe and easy, costs about $10 and takes about 3-4 days.  But the payback is a sound engine with no damage or smoking.  Have used this proceedure many times on cars, trucks, farm tractors and other infrequently used motors over the last 40+ years and it has never once failed.  Selling low because of failing eyesight to the point where I don't drive regular anymore except on very bright days and then only in familiar areas.  Tempus Fugit.  Being sold as-is, where-is with no warranties but confidence that what I am telling you here about his car is how it is.   Sale is final.  A $500 non-refundable deposit is required received via USPS money order within five days of sale.  Balance also by USPS money order to be forwarded within 10 days of sale and before car is removed.  You can ask any additional questions which will receive a quick reply.  Recommend and invite you to come and examine the car personally or send your own mechanic or friend in the area to look the car over for you including any additional pictures  The CV is currently in a locked storage area with a low monthly rental.  We will cover the storage rate for the balance of the month (12th day) after which you can remove the car or leave it there at the same low rate while you make your hauling arrangements.  Comes with a clear Michigan title.  Buyer will be responsible for all loading/hauling expenses and any insurances you might want. . We will check & confirm the mileage, vehicle & title numbers and whether we have the right keys for ignition, doors and glove compartment and advise accordingly or just try to change the listing.  Thanks

2016 Ford Mustang getting California Special treatment

Fri, May 8 2015

The sixth-generation Mustang hasn't even been around for a full year, but Ford is already prepping a couple of tweaks for 2016. We've now learned that there will be a California Special version, and if that name sounds familiar, it's because Ford has a long history of doing the GT/CS treatment on its 'Stangs. We don't have anything to go on right now, save the image you see here. But previous California Special versions were limited to things like new wheels, spoilers, badges, and some paint options, so we aren't expecting anything too drastic. It's also unclear if Ford will offer the new GT/CS on both the coupe and convertible, or if it'll just stick to the hardtop. We'll get the full details on Monday, May 11 – that's when Ford will reveal everything it's done for the 2016 Mustang lineup. Stay tuned.

Ford to announce Mulally retirement, Fields CEO as early as May 1

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Ford CEO Alan Mulally may be about to announce his long-rumored retirement from the Blue Oval, according to a pair of insiders who spoke to Bloomberg. An official statement on the succession could arrive as soon as May 1. Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields is rumored to step up as the new CEO. The company is said to be readying the announcement soon to ensure an orderly transition of power, according to the insiders.
Mulally's retirement from Ford has been a hot topic for a while. He was seriously rumored last year to be leaving the automaker to take over as the CEO of Microsoft. The board even said at one point that it was okay with them if he stepped down early. However, the CEO maintained he would stay with the business through at least the end of 2014. Fields has been rumored as a frontrunner to take over the top spot at the company since he was promoted to COO.
For the moment, Ford isn't officially confirming any of these plans. "We don't comment on speculation. We do have succession plans in place for our key leadership. We take succession planning very seriously," said Susan Krusel, Ford Global News Manager, to Autoblog.

Ford stops JV work In Russia, Stellantis donates to Ukrainian refugees

Wed, Mar 2 2022

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is obviously killing civilians and destroying infrastructure throughout the country. ItÂ’s also affecting the auto industry there and across wider Europe, from the wiring harnesses we mentioned earlier today to new announcements from Ford and Stellantis. And thereÂ’s reason to think in bigger terms than todayÂ’s business deals, since there are massive lithium deposits in the ground in Ukraine. What this means for raw materials for future electric vehicles canÂ’t yet be determined, but itÂ’s worth thinking about as the world reacts to RussiaÂ’s actions. Following decisions by Apple and other major automakers to stop or otherwise curtail activities in Russia, Ford announced that it will suspend all of its joint venture operations in Russia, effective immediately, until further notice. “As part of the global community, Ford is deeply concerned about the invasion of Ukraine and the resultant threats to peace and stability,” the company said in a statement. “The situation has compelled us to reassess our operations in Russia. In recent years, Ford has significantly wound down its Russian operations, which now focus exclusively on commercial van manufacturing and Russian sales through a minority interest in the Sollers Ford joint venture.” Even though Stellantis only has 71 employees based in Ukraine, it announced today it will donate 1 million euros (around $1.1 million U.S.) to Ukrainian refugees and civilians. StellantisÂ’ head of operations in Ukraine will help the automaker work with local non-governmental organizations that are supporting Ukrainians to get the funds where they need to go. “Stellantis condemns violence and aggression and, in this time of unprecedented pain, our priority is the health and safety of our Ukrainian employees and families,” Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said in a statement. “An aggression that shook a world order, already unsettled by uncertainty, has been launched. The Stellantis community, made of 170 nationalities, looks with dismay as civilians flee the country. Even if the scale of casualties is not yet apparent, the human toll will be unbearable.” As of this morning, Stellantis said all of its 71 employees there were safe. This is not a normal line to read in automotive press releases, but this is not a normal time.
