I purchased this car in 1999 with intentions of driving it and restoring it. About 6 months after I purchased it I was idling at a stop light and it stopped running. The timing chain was replaced with new timing gears. The replacement gears are metal. The car has been sitting in storage for the last 15 years on an asphalt pad. It will need to be gone through. I start it and drive it short distances to get fuel or the oil changed or get it washed. It has back registration fees of $639 and will need another $10 for a state inspection plus smog fees to put it on the road in California. Buyer is responsible for payment of these fees if vehicle is to be licensed in California.

The Good: Glass is good. Dash is free of cracks. Interior is good and stock, headliner is like new. New parts: brake pads, spark plugs, wires, filters, timing chain & gears were replaced when I got it. Battery is about 6 months old. Master cylinder is new. Center caps: 2 are NOS, 2 look new but came with the car. Hood ornament and 'Thunderbird' lettering for above the glove box are NOS. Windshield wipers are new. Floors are solid. Stock radio. Car has always been in California to the best of my knowledge. There is a Moffett Field parking sticker on the windshield. Window tint is static cling and can be removed in about 5 minutes. The car starts, runs and stops. The headlights stopped working. Hi-beams still work. The rest of the lights work. The car still has most of its original paint. Has the factory ford turbine rims. I drove it 6 miles to get the master cylinder replaced. That said it is a 35 year old car that has been sitting for the last 15 years on an asphalt pad so it will need to be gone through.

The Bad: The following are known problems with the car: The carb is original and needs to be rebuilt. It starts and runs but will stall after the engine gets warmed up. Windshield wipers do not work. They worked prior to parking the car. Tires are dry-rotting but still hold air. Small amount of surface rust on the driver's side pillar. Headlights stopped working after the car was parked. Hi-beams and the rest of the lights work. There is play in either the ring gear or the pinion gear- when you put the car into drive or reverse there is some play. It is not the u-joints. There is a hole in the drivers side carpet. Sensor for the brakes stopped functioning- brake light in the dash is on. Vacuum for the headlamp covers has a small leak and the headlights will open after a day or two.

New battery 02/02/14. NOS speedometer cable. NOS center caps (2). The other 2 look new. NOS hood ornament. NOS dash emblem. NOS dome light cover. NOS rear bumper pad. New master cylinder 07/22/14. Antenna is in trunk.

If you need other pics email me and I will send them. Thanks!

Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.

Project CARS 2 is coming

Tue, Jun 23 2015

It's barely been a month since we released our review on Project CARS, and already, developers Slightly Mad Studios is preparing a sequel. It'll use the same crowd-funding formula that put together such a successful game this time around. The sequel was announced on the World of Mass Development portal, the same source of crowdfunding for the first Project CARS. Among the enhancements Slightly Mad is planning, there's the usual promise of more tracks and cars, but what we're really looking forward to is the news hidden in that promise. Project CARS 2 will boast bigger, more exciting forms of racing, including rallycross. In total, there will be over "50 unique locations and 200+ courses," "8 different disciplines," and "200+ cars from over 40 different vehicle classes including never-before-seen Concepts and Banned Race Cars." Yes, this all sounds very good. Project CARS 2 will also add a new customizable test track feature, and there will be an increased emphasis on both co-op and social gameplay and "skill and behavioral-based matchmaking" in online play. The crowdfunding campaign for the new title is currently underway, although it's unclear when we'll get a planned release date. As for our own wish list, it's remarkably short. We'd like a more fully fleshed out career mode, actual vehicle upgrades and customization options, and a genuine economy would be welcomed additions. Part of the fun of racing titles is working up the coin to acquire new and exciting cars. It's not that we mind full access to the game's entire roster of vehicles, we just wish that in the career mode, there was a bit more planning and challenge to getting ahold of new racers. In short, we want the best parts of Forza Motorsport with combined with the best parts of Project CARS. Oh, and if the frame-rate issues we experienced on the Xbox One could be sorted out too. What would you like to see included in Project CARS 2? Perhaps cleaner menus? A better soundtrack? Have your say down in Comments. Until then, check out the launch announcement over at WMD.
