1988 Ltd Crown Victoria Lx Station Wagon (not A Country Squire) on 2040-cars
Glassboro, New Jersey, United States
|
Factory LTD without the fake wood sides (those are Country Squires, this is an LTD Crown Victoria Station Wagon). Previous owners were non-smokers. Paint is faded but body and chrome are in good shape. There are a couple small dings on the back. Badging are missing. There is a patch where the clear coat is flaking off on the side of the left front quarter panel and there is some orange peel rust coming through the bottom of the left rear quarter panel. My mechanic says it is rusty underneath but not rusted through. The magic gate in back opens, but must be slammed hard to shut and the window doesn't roll down. This is an LX version with all the goodies and most everything works except the AC and the rear drivers side window. It has a 5.0 fuel injected V8 with a limited slip rear differential. The interior is in excellent condition. No dash cracks. No rips to the dark blue velour bench seats. Headliner is clean, in tact, and not sagging. So far have put over $3,000 into it. New tires and alignment, new smog pump, new thermostat, new headlights, new steel fuel line, new steel brake line, rear axle bearings repacked and resealed. Passed NJ inspection with a sticker until 2015. Runs and stops. I use it as a daily driver. Having said that, this is a 25 year old car with lots of squeaks and rattles. The motor runs strong. Just turned over 100K. The AC doesn't work and needs a conversion. I am offering the car as is with no warranty intended or implied. Winning bidder pays shipping or transportation costs. I have clean title and will exchange for cash only. I purchased this car in June from the second owner. He was a mechanic and used it to haul parts out in Red Lion, PA. Apparently, for the last couple years he was in ill health and died early this year. The car had been sitting for several months when I bought it from his widow and began putting money into it. Recently, I was transferred to a facility that is much farther away and as much as I love this car (so does everyone once else -- lots of honks and people coming up to you in supermarket parking lots), it will be too expensive for me to drive it back and forth now which is why I am considering selling it assuming the price is right.

Mustang GT350 reveal coming Nov 17?
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Ford looks to have something really big planned for the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Blue Oval has released the first of five teaser videos on the brand's performance heritage, and aside from some great images of racers over the years, the video includes a series of teaser images, the last of which points to November 17, 2014.
That's the day before press days open in LA, and considering the propensity of global automakers to plan lavish debuts the night before a major international auto show, it's a virtual certainty that Ford will be showing off some sort of special vehicle.
That'd be news in and of itself, but based on the images shown in Ford's teaser video - which include an Alcantara steering wheel, a "Powered by Ford" valve cover, aluminum pedals, sticky tires, a big, round exhaust tip, a honeycomb grille and a serious set of wheels - it seems very likely that Ford will be showing something performance oriented.
A tribute to William Clay Ford
Tue, 11 Mar 2014The passing of William Clay Ford has been a big event for the company he spent most of his life helping run. Ford spent 57 years working for his family's company. Considering the Blue Oval has been around for over 100 years, WCF's passing is the end of an era for the Dearborn-based manufacturer.
Ford's YouTube channel has issued a short memorial video highlighting the life of the longest-lived grandson of company founder Henry Ford. It follows William Clay from his time as a boy, showing him alongside his grandfather, through his younger years, and into his twilight, as the patriarch of the Ford family.
Take a look below for this touching memorial video on William Clay Ford.
Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
