CA Car

New Engine in 2007 @86,854

Ownership change to PA @ 89,641 in Oct 2010

Runs great, Fun Drive

 

Car was purchased from CA owner in September 2010.  When I bought the car, the ad run stated the following” CA car… the engine rebuilt, rebuilt the transmission and had new brakes installed.  All electric system has been thoroughly worked on and is in nice working condition.”  CA owner provided receipts for work to include the engine rebuilt in 2007, steering box replaced, battery replaced, head gasket, door locks and flashers, mirror drivers side, foam added in front seats, rear leaf spring bushing, vacuum lines, window motor and switch work, sway bar link and bushing kit.  Since I have owned the car, I had work done on the top to include some switch replacement, solenoid replaced, all new hose kit and the top has worked great ever since.  It has been inspected for PA.  I had the carburetor work done to replace floats, and have done regular maintenance.   The car had 89641 on the odometer when I registered it and currently has 92,047.  It is fun to drive, a head turner, enjoyable vehicle with some charm.  It is not perfect.  The previous owner stated he had spent 15 to 20K on the car, I have spent around 5K.  The price reserve is low in hopes to find this bird a new home.    

As with any car, this bird has some wear and some things that could be improved on they are as follows:

Separation of lather seat seem at back top about 1 inch. Water temperature gage and radio do not work. Kick plate on interior passenger side is missing fuse cover and cracked. Door panels show age with some cracking. Cigarette lighter missing. Driver side mirror loose. Driver side fender at top has slight bubble in paint. Passenger side right front fender has scrape type damage. Rear plastic window is fogged. Other items may exist and buyer is welcome to have vehicle inspected.  Miles listed are at time of listing and may be higher since the vehicle is driven on nice sunny days with the top down and a smile on the face!

Galpin Auto Sports and Fisker turn the Mustang into a Rocket in LA [w/video]

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Galpin Auto Sport and Henrik Fisker made big promises about the Rocket before its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show today, calling it the "ultimate American muscle car." Now that this 725-horsepower carbon-fiber Ford Mustang has officially been revealed, we've now got a chance to see if their vision backs up all the bluster. The Rocket is based off the latest 2015 Mustang, but the entire exterior design has been substantially reworked by Fisker. "This is a project born out of passion, it's a dream come true, to have the opportunity to 'touch' a Mustang and apply my design ideas to it," he says in the model's announcement. The biggest changes come up front, where Fisker has added a gaping hexagonal grille with a polished bar running and two nearly hidden driving lights at the top corners. Long nostrils run down each side of the hood, taking their inspiration from the 1968 Shelby GT500. The Rocket's design also emphasizes its scalloped sides, which run back to functional ducts at the rear to cool the Brembo Grand Turismo brakes. When checking out the Rocket from the rear, it's easy to spot the wider fenders that are beautifully blended into the integrated spoiler. The interior has been left mostly alone beyond some eye-grabbing red leather and carbon-fiber trim. Under the hood, Galpin spokesperson Nathan Hoyt has confirmed to Autoblog that the Rocket employs a 5.0-liter V8 with a Whipple supercharger which can be called to attention with a six-speed manual gearbox. It took only a few months for the vehicle to go from conception to reality. Fisker showed Galpin President Beau Boeckmann early sketches at this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and the two parties went from there. "When Henrik showed me his ideas, I got chills - it's literally the most beautiful Mustang I have ever seen," says Boeckmann in the company's release. Production is set to begin in December, with deliveries starting in early 2015. There's no set production total in mind for now, but Hoyt tells Autoblog that the price will be "just over $100,000." Scroll down to read all of the details about Fisker and Galpin's Rocket.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

William Clay Ford Sr. dead at 88

Sun, 09 Mar 2014

William Clay Ford, retired vice chairman of Ford Motor Company and the last surviving grandchild of company founder Henry Ford, died this morning after a bout with pneumonia. He was 88.
Ford spent 57 years with his grandfather's company, joining the board of directors in 1948 before graduating from college. Ford also held a position as chairman of the design committee, as well as the chairman of the executive committee and vice chairman of the Board of Directors during his tenure with the company. In a 2013 Detroit Free Press story, retired CFO Allan Gilmour said Ford had an eye for design, and was once able to pick out when a fiberglass model of a Ford Contour was asymmetrical, off by an inch on one side. He retired and assumed the position of director emeritus in 2005.
"My father was a great business leader and humanitarian who dedicated his life to the company and the community," said Bill Ford, Jr., Ford's current executive chairman. "He also was a wonderful family man, a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him, yet he will continue to inspire us all."
