Now we have, up for your bidding entertainment, this 1986 Ford Mustang Convertible, the winning bidder will one day be able to experience that warm and wonderful feeling that accompanies having a plan come to fruition! Having stated that, this vehicle can be looked upon, as being a "dual capacity" vehicle: (1) with minor work, it would quickly become a "daily driver" or (2) after an extensive restoration, the winning bidder will be getting a vehicle, that as it sets, is worthy of such an endeavor.
Pros and Cons -----
The Pros:
As can be seen in the under car picture, the unibody style frame is rock solid, both front and rear, no refurbishing will be necessary during any restoration project that you may have in mind. Both side rocker panels are "hole free, rust free"; the doors close just as nice and tight, as they did when it was new.
As can be seen in the picture of the engine compartment, all under hood components are present.
No glass will need to be replaced, as it is all present and in good shape! (Crack and chip free)
The mechanism for the convertible top is functional/operational.
The oil has just been changed.
Vehicle was a "Florida car", which explains why the body and undercarriage is in such good shape!
The Cons:
Mileage on the odometer is 87,140 - but according to the vehicle history, may or may not be accurate. (I have a plausible theory.)
As can be seen in one of the pictures, there is a "quarter size" rust hole, at the base of the windshield bezel, in the area of the drivers side windshield wiper arm attaching point, however this hole has no affect, nor will it ever, on the proper operation of the wipers. Why this hole developed, is a mystery to me.
As can be seen in one of the pictures, the passengers side interior door panel is missing, as is the cover to the center console arm rest, exterior passenger door handle, and a part or two on the drivers side interior door panel.
Vehicle is in need of a new convertible top, as it has a couple of holes/tears in it, and is "dried out"/sun faded.
There is some surface rust at the bottom edge of the drivers side door.
Vehicle is in need of a paint job, as the paint is faded and "flaky".
Vehicle is in need of a couple of rear tires, as they are heavily weather checked.
Vehicle is in need of some brake work, as they are spongy and have to be "pumped" when they are applied.
The passenger side small rear window is present, (currently in the trunk), as it needs the hardware on the bottom replaced.
Lastly vehicle is in need of a tune up, it starts, runs and drives, but.......
Because eBay is now my passion, I will respond to all serious or frivolous inquiries, via e-mail.
If as a potential bidder, you wonder why this vehicle is listed again, feel free to e-mail me so that I can explain, because yes, this is the same vehicle that was on eBay last week!
Thanks for "looking", and let the bidding begin!

For thousands of US auto workers, the downturn is already here
Thu, Jun 22 2017LORDSTOWN, Ohio - Wall Street is fretting that the auto industry is heading for a downturn, but for thousands of workers at General Motors factories in the United States, the hard times are already here. Matt Streb, 36, was one of 1,200 workers laid off on Jan. 20 - inauguration day for President Donald Trump - when GM canceled the third shift at its Lordstown small-car factory here. Sales of the Chevrolet Cruze sedan, the only vehicle the plant makes, have nosedived as consumers switch to SUVs and pickup trucks. Streb is looking for another job, but employers are wary because they assume he will quit whenever GM calls him back. "I get it," said Streb, who has a degree in communications, "but it's frustrating." Layoffs at Lordstown and other auto plants point to a broader challenge for the economy in Midwestern manufacturing states and for the Trump administration. "This is about economics, not what Trump says. Even if Trump went out and bought 10,000 Cruzes a month, he wouldn't get the third shift back here." The auto industry's boom from 2010 through last year was a major driver for manufacturing job creation. The fading of that boom threatens prospects for US industrial output and job creation that were central to Trump's victory in Ohio and other manufacturing states. "This is about economics, not what Trump says," said Robert Morales, president of United Auto Workers (UAW) union Local 1714, which represents workers at GM's stamping plant at Lordstown. "Even if Trump went out and bought 10,000 Cruzes a month, he wouldn't get the third shift back here." Last week the Federal Reserve said factory output fell 0.4 percent in May, the second decline in three months, due partly to a 2 percent drop in motor vehicles and parts production. Mark Muro, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, has compiled data from government sources that show the auto industry punching higher than its weight in job creation in recent years - accounting for between 60 percent and 80 percent of all US manufacturing jobs added in 2015 and 2016. In the first quarter of this year, the auto industry accounted for less than 2 percent of the 45,000 manufacturing jobs created. "There's no argument with the idea that auto has been pulling the manufacturing sled up the mountain for the last three or four years," Muro said.
2015 Ford Edge First Drive [w/videos]
Thu, Mar 12 2015We're routinely told that it's not easy being the middle child. The oldest sibling will always outshine the rest, while the youngest is routinely doted upon. The middle child, meanwhile, is seemingly never able to measure up. You know the drill: Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! But that hasn't really been the case for Ford's mid-kid crossover, the Edge. Sandwiched between its highly successful big brother, the Explorer, and the stylish younger brother, the Escape, the Edge has had plenty of its own bragging rights over the years. It's where the Blue Oval chose to first launch MyFord Touch in 2011, and was one of the company's first applications of an EcoBoost engine in a CUV. For 2015, Ford has given the Edge a brand-new outfit, complete with stand-out sheetmetal and a revamped 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine fitted with a twin-scroll turbocharger and direct-injection. The result is a vehicle that truly stands out from its compact and fullsize siblings while promising to retain Ford's edge in the midsize CUV market. Where many of Ford's cars have opted for a slim, Aston Martin-like grille, the new Edge's face is big and bold. It's around back, however, where the Edge really comes up with its own personality. The slimmer D-pillar forms the edges of a more aggressively raked rear window. It's difficult to spot in pictures, but the result is a decidedly more assertive profile than the outgoing CUV. Beyond that, the rear is home to Fusion-inspired taillights, although unlike Ford's popular midsize sedan, they're joined together by a vehicle-spanning lighting element that prominently features a Ford badge at its center. Ford's work on the Edge's interior is less progressive, though. The owner of a 2014 model wouldn't feel the least bit out of place climbing behind the wheel of a 2015, as it features Ford's same reconfigurable instrument cluster, and a center stack that's been crowned by the latest (and final) edition of MyFord Touch. Meanwhile, more JD Power Initial Quality Study-friendly buttons have replaced the obstinate and unintuitive touch-capacitive controls. The conservative take on the interior design belies the big improvements in material quality. The leather inserts in the doors are more heavily padded and the plastics are far softer. It's a similar story throughout the cabin, where owners will notice softer dash plastics and generally richer materials.
European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year
Tue, Dec 16 2014There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.
