Really nice car I purchased. Odometer reads 111,000. It may be accurate, I do not know. I have done many improvements and ready to move on to new projects. Not looking for any trades. Thanks. Great collection edition to you Ford folks out there. Not a perfect frame off car. Older restoration and very well maintained. Great enjoyable driver. I'm very confident you could pick up and drive home. I am in the Birmingham Alabama area can help arrange local area pick up/shipping at buyers expense.

I do not have a lot of history on this great old Ford XL Convertible. I have owned it a couple of years. I bought it from a guy who drove for a while. He purchased it from a widow whose husband restored the car a while ago. I'm pretty sure the car spent it's life in the Maryland area. The vin is 0E61Y214610. the trim tag reads Body 76B Col T Trim 1A Axle K Trans V DSU 17 please excuse any typos.

I've been on many sites and what I can tell it's an original red exterior, black interior car with a V8 390-2V big block. 270 hp 9.5:1 compression... I believe the motor may be the original one and was rebuilt along the way. The restoration to me looks like it was done well, however not a frame off. Old factory a/c works well. Blower fan squeaks at first and goes quiet. The engine was a leaky mess when I got it and this what I did: new steering gear, intake gasket, heater hose, antifreeze, carb kit(it currently has a holly carb), valve cover gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets, exhaust pipe gaskets. It has strait pipe exhaust that has been on for a while. Quite the hot rod sound. I've put $1500 in the engine compartment. Leak and trouble free now. The big block really performs.

The exterior looks really nice. The paint shows little wear. It's a brighter red, not sure if it's ford factory color. The bumper's do have some pitting and cracking up close, 5 foot range and would have to be re- chromed for show quality. I included some close up photos. The rest of the chrome is good. Hide away lights perform perfectly. The trunk does not have a spare tire, it does have jack, etc. The original rim/hubcaps cleaned up great. Very minor pitting, you could fill in black accents where desired. The tires have good tread and are just an off brand. The top is brand new, the old one was ok but the cross bows were bad so it looked like a bubble going down the road. Unfortunately that's one unit, so a costly replacement. I saved back glass window and re used. The top is the high quality cloth type. The cylinders and hydraulic lines have been replaced and it works fantastic. $1500. I bought a convertible boot to put on, but have never used it. Comes with the sale.

The interior really looks great. The seats are older covered, still look good, I repaired/replaced several rips and re padded drivers sagging area. The carpet is new. It has black rubber mat covers. Somewhere down the line a fm/cd player was installed under the dash with a 6 changer in the trunk. Obviously older. All works well. Replaced FM antenna. Radio works well Good speakers flush mounts in the front doors under grill cover and high end tweeters in the pillar post. The original am/fm radio in dash turns on but no sound. The glass running vertically over original radio is cracked. The best thing done to make this car look fantastic was I found a great interior guy who recovered the dash pad. Unique dash that would be nearly impossible to replace. The original was good with typical non pleasing cracks over time. You will have to see to believe how outstanding it looks. All dash board instruments work well. I've replace most of the rubber moulding where I could as needed.

I am putting it in at auction format and letting it run with a reserve. I will end it early for $14,000 firm, let me know.

Ford hurt by 2015 F-150 production restraints

Tue, Mar 10 2015

The new 2015 Ford F-150 came out of the gate strong for January 2015 with all F-Series sales up 17 percent for the month. However, February tempered those gains a bit with the model line dipping 1.2 percent, and the Ford brand itself dropped 1.7 percent year-over-year. The fall is being blamed in part on tight supply of the latest pickup. A major factor holding back the 2015 F-150 is that they are only currently being made at the Dearborn Truck Plant. The Kansas City factory is still changing over, and full supply from them both is expected by the middle of the year. Ford also just announced plans to hire an extra 1,550 people to build the pickups, including 900 in Kansas City. However, the downtime in the assembly changeover has caused about 90,000 units in lost production since mid-2014, according to The Detroit Free Press. It's not all bad news for the pickup, though. The latest F-150 made up 21 percent of F-Series sales in February, according to The Detroit Free Press, up from 18 percent in the previous month, and they remained on dealer lots an average of 18 days. The lessened supply has also meant lower incentives. Mark LaNeve, Ford's US marketing boss, told the Free Press that average F-150 transaction prices were up $2,000 from last year. He also indicated that retail figures grew seven percent in February, while F-Series fleet numbers were down 18 percent. The constrained supply does come at an inopportune time for Ford, though. This year is expected to be huge for pickups. Also, lower gas prices appear to be pushing people towards SUVs and trucks recently. Related Video:

Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Last August, Ford made a few waves by claiming that the Ford Focus was, at that point, the top-selling car in the world. The automaker failed to account for variations of the Toyota Corolla wearing a different name (such as the Auris and Matrix), however. With official data from Polk coming in now, Ford is able to say that the Focus was, in fact, the best-selling nameplate in the world last year.
Using new-car registrations (which doesn't factor in fleet sales), the Polk data shows that a total of more than one million Focus models around the world. Strong sales in the US and China have led to a 16 percent increase in year-over-year Focus sales from 2011 that helped to create even more of a gap between it and the second-best global seller, the Corolla.
Ford also had the Fiesta and F-Series listed in the top 10 for worldwide nameplates, but what's even more impressive is the fact that the F-Series is only sold in North America. Scroll down to see the list (compiled by Ford using Polk data) of the top global sellers last year and a press release from Ford.
